Lou's press conference:

He says he doesn't know how the league makes the decision to cancel games.

Beginning to think there’s something more to this story.

I don't know. Lou made it sound like it's completely a league decision and he had no part in it. He also said he didn't ask them to postpone.

But he didn't say that he didn't ask them to allow the Isles to play.

Sounds pretty vague and if there is truly a ten person infection threshold to postpone games why won’t anyone come out and say it?

With the vaccine mandate I don’t think the league expected this as far as the amount of Covid infections. I don’t think they had a hard line number of infections it would take to cancel games because I don’t think they thought they would have to deal with it imho.

Lou sounded vague!? I'm shocked!

I'm not sure league has a set policy. If they did then they screwed the Isles and possibly the teams that played the Isles recently.

It will be fascinating to see if anyone from the Flames, Leaf's, Rangers or Pens end up in protocol soon.

What wasn't asked was whether the team asked the league NOT to postpone. To me that's just as important a question.
