Bingo. The other problem is Canada and their restrictions. The Canadian teams have to adhere to their rules. Either cancel the season or FINALLY realize we have to live with this thing and move on and mitigate it the best you can. The NHL and politicians continue to double down on stupidity and there’s all too many people that go along with it…

USA forfeiting their game against the Swiss tonight because of Covid. World Juniors probably heading the way of cancellation now, if I had to take a guess

I'm assuming they'll probably end up forfeiting tomorrow's game against Sweden too which would pretty much put them out of the tournament

Ilses played three or four games with six to eight guys out with covid before omicron set in and now they are cancelling games with similar numbers out on teams. This season has been doomed from the start for this team

Well the good news is suddenly Covid cases don’t matter anymore. I guess we shouldn’t expect a Covid case ticker in Times Square anytime soon

Their not going to stop until everyone just ignores them. They love power too much to give it up.

I really don't see any reason that Covid-positive players with no symptoms can't be playing at this point. If I can go to work asymptomatic, so can they.

This entire experience should be a lesson to any even semi intelligent person to never give up any of their rights or freedoms ever again. If you’re not intelligent enough to make decisions for you and your family’s health and/or you need some dementia ridden moron or someone obviously aligned with big pharma to guide you through this process, at this point, you’re part of the problem.

I’m not even a registered Republican(I honestly despise both parties for different reasons) but I will say with some glee that 90% of this nonsense will be washed away in less then a year when they most likely take back the house and probably the senate because this idiot can’t get any of this done through legislation while holding every branch of government

For fücks sake…

Big deal they made the playoffs. I'll take the 2 deep runs they made.
- Tedge77

Two deep runs. No banners. Two 4th place finishes. Forced to overpay players and thin out the roster because of a few playoff runs under weird circumstances. Maybe we’ve had more success than the Canes but they’ve won a division, and swept us in a winnable 2nd round series. Careful how much you wanna beat your chest on this one

Hahahaha this is so (frank)ing stupid you’re complaining about this? Please stay on the main thread you moron.

The old man wrecked the roster. And for good measure wrecked the prospect pool. And poor Coach Trotz is running out of Garth Snow’s players.

How has Lou wrecked the prospect pool?

Have you not been paying attention at all the past 3 years? When the guy does actually have a first round pick that he hasn’t donked away he uses it to draft some crumb projected to go in the 2nd round. Aside from Raty being a gift from the hockey gods he’s drafted nothing that’s even close to resembling an NHL player. Funny that Leafs fans had a similar gripe

1) Quite often, the players he expends picks on (Pageau, Palmieri, Greene) are retained. So he ain’t dumping them on rentals.

2) Some of those picks were used to dump the (frank) ups from the previous management group. Would you rather have had Lou extend Beauvillier, or draft players with the picks used to dump Ladd?

3) Raty was passed over 19 times in the second round. He wasn’t “gifted” to the Islanders. The Islanders scouting department either saw something the others did not, or they had the balls to take the risk.

I thought that Lou drafted both Wahlstrom and Dobson. Or are you saying that those two guys are not "even close to resembling an NHL player"?

Yep those Leaf fans must be real happy being perpetual first round exiters while you’re complaining about having two consecutive deep playoff runs

Me too. I'm unaffiliated. I actually lean libertarian, but those guys take it too far to. I want to start my own party. It will be the "Leave me the (frank) alone party". My platform will be that when anyone says "There should be a law ..." they immediately get punched in the face.
