that's bs


it's a global problem


doesn't matter if states are locked down or free, the virus still hits them

- homiedclown


Speaking of bs

Now Your implying that all states are equal in regards to covid , whether they are locked down or free.

Earlier you were a 50 year old living in Florida worried about your community.

What is it? Mexican kids or Floridians?

He said we are going to beat COVID while speaking at a Pfizer lab. I can’t explain to you any clearer.

Spin it how you want to spin it.

The Pfizer employees are at the front lines of this battle, each of them doing their part to try and end this. Of course he's going to "rally the troops". Just like any leader in any profession would.

If you were diagnosed with cancer tomorrow, aren't you going to say, "when I beat this..."?

Of course you are.

This is a very good post.

Wonder how the trade deadline factors in differently between teams? Competitive disadvantages for sure.

Someone could play 88 games. 82 + 6 extra.

Having 12 games left instead of 18 would be interesting on a salary basis too...

- Boss34


Salary is a good point too, some players on the cusp of their bonuses would be itching to return, those who met the reqs may not be. Could get dicey for sure.

Idk, the snotty nosed FL kids aren’t being put on 3AM stealth flights to towns around the country. Helps alleviate the logjam at the border, you know. Undocumented, untested, no shot....no problem, come on in....welcome.

Just for the record, we have enough people in the USA IMO.

You really think illegals/ new Americans from mexico are the reason for the covid spread?

I'm sure it doesnt help, but I'll stick with American ignorance.

People who are antivax / antimask and affraid of "the jab" are the the reason this cycle will continue.

Good points: never thought of bonuses ect.

Maybe baller could have a nice blog on the "player implications" of covid.

I would be suprised to see the nhl at the Olympics, I doubt they want to push the season into the summer.
If they go to china, make up games will be difficult.

In October Faucci said "Vaccine mandates work" cases are going down.

That was two months ago, now we need to shut down because the risk is too high.

no but it points to the pollicization of the whole thing.. government says to have a job you have to have a shot... but to come here and then get shipped around the country "shhh" don't let americans know about this.

No surprise, but #NHL + #NHLPA are in agreement that NHL players will not participate in #Beijing2022 Olympics. Once they notify IOC, an official announcement will come - perhaps as soon as today, maybe later this week.

Now, question is: Will 2022 Olympics be postponed to 2023?

Great news. Everyone in the world shouldn’t participate in the 2022 Olympics.

Watch out for Iran. They are the dark horse. Lots of talent. Very fast forwards and great goal tending. Defense is a little suspect though.

The reality is there is a disconnect between what the shot is and it isn't.

That being said, when a league has a 100% vaccination rate and still has to shut down, it does hurt the credibility at least a little bit.

Paul Hamilton did have a good point, though. The NFL is changing its protocols. The NHL can't because there's no way the Canadian government would let NHL players play under those same protocols in their country.

So job or jab isn’t about control? So jab or loss of freedom isn’t about control?

Maybe have the Canadian teams all play each other until the Stanley cup. Seemed to have worked last year.

They probably already sold it to Iran. Maybe they can commute together.

like rhino (i believe) said, this shouldn't be political, but that's what it has turned into...and, i might add, it's really no different than what happened in 1918...
