We’ll Have to Wait

While we thought we’d know by Monday if Montreal Canadiens forward Max Domi would be allowed to partake in Phases 3 and 4 of the NHL's Return To Play plan, it turns out we’ll have to wait a little longer to find out.

Over the weekend, the Canadiens released a statement about his situation, saying they have agreed with Domi that a decision to move forward will be made in 7-to-10 days.

This makes perfect sense, really.

We all know that Domi has Type-1 Diabetes and that he could be at risk of experiencing complications should he catch Covid-19. This way, all Habs players will be in the same environment and be tested a number of time before Domi arrives. This is a great way to ensure that he will not be exposed right away. Clearly, the Canadiens have elected to err on the side of caution and it is understandable.

Domi has been vocal about his desire to play but his health must come first.

Hopefully, the start of Phase 3 will go well for the Habs and no one will test positive, making it safe for Domi to come into the fold. If it doesn’t go that way though and he’s unable to take part, I hope no one questions his commitment to the team as this truly is a matter of life and death.
