Every team takes precautions when the flu bug hits, from individual water bottles, making players with symptoms dress in isolated rooms to not even allowing some to be even close to the team. The thing that turns my stomach is all the spitting, spitting on the ice, spitting on the bench. The players fall down and slide through it, their always running their gloves along the top on the dasher board covered with spit on the bench. And what do they do when there�s a brake in action or a whistle, take their mouth guards out of their mouths with their gloves. It just makes me shake my head.
