Oh man! That's poopty. I'm assuming though you get to keep those tickets for when they reschedule right?

I started working they were gonna shut down completely and I'm miss the game I'm coming in for in February which will be my first time ever at PPG Arena.

My Fiance got buffalo tickets for 15$ per (student rush). I was actually surprised that we got to go because i was hearing that Philly was starting to cancel games.

What does everyone think about all these games being canceled, while when 1 month ago, freaking 12 islanders were out with covid, and they werent able to cancel any games. They got royally screwed.

Canceling the games is a joke.

As Yzerman said why are we even testing “vaccinated” players that show little to no symptoms?

Also, (frank) the islanders.

It's retarded. Make them use AHL players and play the games. That's why there is a (frank)ing farm system.

While I obviously agree with you about cancelling in general. I just meant to bring up the conversation about how (frank)ed the islanders got, and could/should there be a compensation for them?

But also, (frank) the islanders

Detroit got (frank)ed at the start of last season while they were postponing games for other teams so I have no sympathy for any teams in that regard.

Has the league said why if a player is vaccinated and asymptomatic they can't play like other sports?

What do you mean why?

Because they can still transmit it to the other platers who are also vaccinated and can still get and transmit it.

or why they other leagues aren't having the same troubles? that is a good question

My question would be why they actually cancel the games? because it should be understood that the teams don't actually care about the players health, let alone the fans health. You can pretty clearly see that when buffalo wouldn't allow JE to get the disk replacement surgery.

and if you think of this as true, the only logical reason to cancel, would be to protect themselves from lawsuits from players and maybe fans. And if that is the case, why are company's afraid of lawsuits? why aren't normal peoples employers protected from lawsuits the same way the pharmaceutical companies are protected and the government for attempting to force medical procedure on citizens.

I feel like Vic, would have good input on this legality question.

At what point then do you just close the league down because you're so scared? This would make Dr Anthony Fraudci happy. If you are waiting for ZERO Covid that's not going to happen. Viruses have always been spread and will continue to spread. If you are vaxxed and are asymptomatic, then it should be your choice.

With Zucker out, this is IMO a chance to give DOC a chance at LW.
