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 ?

At this point, they've already postponed the majority of games through Christmas. If the vaccine is as effective as they say it is, you're just going to have to treat it like a bout of the flu is running through the team in normal times. Eventually it was make its way through the team, and everyone should be good to go in a week or so.

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.

Upl has added a jump to this team. Results are really the determining factor in professional sports still?

Upl is longer than dt31, from the waste down. ☝️

Only game tonight is in good ol' texas...
After being on different sides of this topic for the past 20 months, I absolutely agree. For the vaccinated, its like a flu outbreak. Treat it as such IMO

We need to accept that the virus is never going away. There will always be a strain. Protect yourself accordingly, and live your life.

Anyone else have a feeling like Bettman really didn't want the players to play in the Olympics so by postponing a lot of games forces them to not go?

It’s the league’s easiest way out of sending their players.

So with the Sabres off this week, my plan is to buy the game pass to watch Roch/Wilkes Barre on Wednesday and write about that. Looks like Wilkes Barre just had a game postponed though so we'll see if that game actually happens

Do you know this is almost impossible.

most "Made in America" stuff is made here but the raw materials come from overseas.

this is where the nhl makes ZERO sense


blue jackets have 3 test positive and games cancelled all week


devils played yesterday with 5 out due to covid

- homiedclown


To me it is meh, since the Xmas Break was due to set in soon anyway,.
It is a great time for it to happen, if it was going to happen.

NHL and Teams should be pushing for their players to get the booster if they haven't already had it.
Also, they should get feedback from those testing positive on how significant their symptoms are. While still a small sample size, they could use that data to help mold their go forward plan.
