No.

A whole lot of people have had to put up with a whole lot more the last seven months, and they didn’t have teams of professionals dedicated to their safety and well being while doing it.

Let’s not forget, the only reason these bubbles were in Canada to begin with is the US’ complete inability to take Covid seriously and get it under control.

Besides, from what I’ve heard, there’s been no shortage of available edibles up in the Chuck.

Guys will remember this experience their entire lives, and I doubt very much because of how traumatic it was.

Ok, fair points but I can't see anyone of these guys even on the Lighting will hold much of the experience warm in their hearts.

I disagree - this was the Mortal Kombat of hockey tournaments.

Think about it another way - this is a unique occurrence in the history of the game. It’s extremely improbable it happens again.

I suspect the further away from this we get, the more guys realize how special the whole affair was.

Especially in the face of so much death.

How would staying in a high end hotel for a couple months be any more traumatic that having to live in Arizona? The bubble being in Edmonton is irrelevant because it protected the athletes from the cesspool that is Edmonton.

I think so many NHL players drinking the water over a long period will prove to have more lingering impacts than PTSD.

How does everything spin to something about Arizona? Even when i'm dissing Edmonton.. get it together CP.

I compare it to being sent to your grandma's house all summer long.. trapped, even in Kelowna which is beautiful.I still hate going to Kelowna now because of it. lol
