It is great that testing has lessened the spread of Covid in the NHL and I 100% with you that it has. Kind of a weird place to focus attention though.

The fan attending the hockey game or showing up at their job probably ignores the tickle in their throat too. I don’t trust players any less than everyone else who are never tested.
