Not saying it won't happen but so far all the players that have tested positive in the nhl. None have not returned to play. I haven't heard of anyone who had lasting affects from covid.

Of course, not saying it would or will happen, just that if players are feeling that way I completely get it.

The rest of the league has been a bit different, where teams have only a couple guys miss games so the team was still going, or it was nearer the start of the season so the playoffs were still viable.

The whole team is sidelined, and the playoffs are pretty much a write off. There isn't as much drive to come back, I would assume.

And a few of the guys who have had it last year and this year have said they didn't feel right for a while after. They still competed, mind you, but not in tip top form.

Not seeing anything on capfriendly about Keppen signing with Canucks, my guess is, because they only have 2 roster spots open, they have signed him to an AHL deal.

That is our biggest issue right now.

All good. Soon we will have all bottom 6 players all in for a grand total of 6 mil which will insure a deep PO run.

6 Brendan Gaunce's should do the trick.

I don’t think he’s trolling, I thing the fan base are a bunch of pussies who can’t handle the truth. Except you of course, you’re the rock that hold us all together.

Another Covid update in the new blog: new cases, and another one to come on Wednesday's list, and how the virus is impacting players' families.
