this is where the nhl makes ZERO sense

blue jackets have 3 test positive and games cancelled all week

Been told multiple players on CBJ (as many as 5) have tested positive for Covid.

Perfect

Take in the Christmas break, Olympic chatter and the Bill's/ Pat's next Sunday.

Maybe fans do not even notice..... 🤔

Why would it matter, get him some playing time.

again based on this, why did the devils play down 5 yesterday?


maybe the virus takes sunday off for the Lord

spiderman was really good if you guys are looking for something to do other then watch the browns 3rd string qb cost them a shot at the playoffs

Yes, they actually made one where I want to see what happens next and then I remembered it was only a three picture deal...

follow the science, homie... follow the darn science

When does the vaccine start getting distributed so we can all go back to normal?

Just update the infrastructure, other cities do....

No plan, just do it. 😀😀😀
- Boss34

Yes, other cities update infrastructure all the time to improve access to the city and surrounding areas.

If you are going to try and troll at least be good at it.

yet the devils had to play down 5 yesterday


seems the blue jackets get an advantage
- homiedclown

I think that is on top of the 3 they already had tested no?

Why would what matter? Public opinion?

How are the ahlers avoiding all the covid shutdowns?
Its inevitably going to effect the ahl IMO

Having upl in net has made the biggest difference (small sample size) in on ice play in years.

The send down, makes it easy to keep him in Rochester.
Helping secure a high pick

It takes years to plan infrastructure. Of course you understand that. 😀😀😀

Same rhetoric.

Just draft a superstar in the 3rd round, other teams do.

Didn't Rochacha already have a shut down? Or was it just a couple of guys out and they didn't have to stop?

Seems like there's gonna be a universal shutdown.

Sending upl to Rochester to play actual games makes sense. Just my opinion, but most likely they take a break as well.

Then the Sabres have at least 2 goalies ready ahead of upl, making the tank roll on

For sure, think it's most important that he keeps playing.

Yes Public Opinion, and the AHL has dealt with a outbreak for about a month now. Rochester has 1 game Wednesday before the break, get UPL a game before the break and go from there. Him in Rochester would be the best thing for Tank Command anyway.

- homiedclown

Accurate.

The NHL is going to have to change its rules just like the NFL did. It's clear that vaccination isn't preventing asymptomatic cases. At some point, you're going to have to start testing only people with symptoms. Otherwise, you're going to have these same clusters at the same time of year.

They score 2 a night with UPL in net. Their overall play with him in net has been mediocre. The results have just been better.

Yeah, if only all the pseudo-patriots on Jan. 6th were this organized, we'd all be speaking redneck by now and there's be an orange fascist in the White House.

It wasn't too long ago that Cuomo set a 70% vaccination rate as the benchmark.

The NHL is essentially at 100%. And while the majority of hospitalized candidates may or may not be unvaccinated (which, btw, includes people with only one shot), that is not the metric these sports leagues are using when making their decisions. They're using the overall case rate, which is pretty much evenly distributed. They basically required everyone to take the equivalent of a flu shot, except the testing rate is much, much higher.

Absolutely agree.

Wonder if there are any covid concerns mixing guys from the nhl and ahl?

Otherwise , send anyone rochester eligible down, doesn't hurt getting an extra game in.

Murray and fitz ?
