How would a star player or a bunch of players getting covid be any different than a team who loses a star to injury or another for of illness, or has several injuries or a flu bug run through the team? Injuries and illness happen every year in the playoffs and often the winning team is one that not only got hot at the right time but also one of the healthiest. It would be awful for guys to catch it, but the effect on the ice is no different than any other illness or injury
