hckošice 13,130 Posted February 23, 2018 Author #575 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The whole problem started by IOC when they announced they will not cover the Players insurances anymore after the Sochi games. IIHF presented to the NHL their plan B with partial covering this problem, but NHL wanted the full cost or nothing. that´s the whole thing behind the PC 2018 NHL ban thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,536 Posted February 23, 2018 #576 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I can only say that I'm shocked... to name one of the most famous sports citations (even if it's about baseball and not hockey): "In a tournament (year, in the original) that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened"...

JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted February 23, 2018 #579 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The IOC had no choice, but to stop insurance payments. The NBA and various European football leagues were starting to demand the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
