Injury Report: 2021/22 Injury Thread Part II of ∞

[Alienblood]

I'm guessing in a few months fans won't be allowed into buildings again.

more restrictions here in Nova Scotia on Friday.

Omicron spreading very rapidly.

They're predicting in 2022 Ontario won't be allowing fans, either.

 

[AnimalMother73]

Welcome to the new reality, not sure how NBA and NHL are going to get thru the season given the spike in variants coming to NA

Figured as much

 

[flyfysher]

I was just about to post that we should prepare ourselves for some Covid absences, and low and behold Toews gets flagged. I just read that there was an absurd amount of players in the NFL that just tested positive as well. You just kind of have to deal with it at this point unfortunately

From what I have read about Omicron’s transmissibility, it sounds like one needs to be boosted to be fully protected.

 

[jabubenice]

hahahaha....i called it...

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I'd say a lot sooner then that tbh. At least here in Canada


Wouldn't surprise me if after the Holiday break they go back to fanless games in Canada for at least thr next couple of months.


I've got tickets to Edmonton/Anaheim next week, at this point I'm just hoping they keep fans going until that point.

Probably quadruptly boosted

I wouldn't worry about that. Have you seen the bar scene in Edmonton? They ain't shutting down shit

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Anyway, at some point the league will need to just let asymptomatic players play games.

 

[Muffin]

Toews has symptoms and won’t be back until after Christmas.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Toews has symptoms and won’t be back until after Christmas.

f*** sakes!

 

[The Merchant]

God f***ing dammit. It looked like he was battling through a bit of a funk against Florida, so it makes sense. Man...another stoppage is looking more and more likely at this point.

Yeah, it's a necessity at this point.

Also, the NHL needs to get a f***ing plan together here. To not offer up immediate cap relief for players in protocol is insanely stupid.

Now I have to watch your game. That's my guy from the Mooseheads.
been throwing support at him for years quietly from the Sharks board lol. His lateral skating and smoothness for his size is something else.
2020 NHL Draft
Post-Game Talk: - Sharks vs. Golden Knights Game 1 - Sharks win 5-2

Been saying that since we drafted him how damn good he is. I get a bird's eye view of every single mooseheads game from the zamboni pit so I had up close and personal reasons to know how likely he was to succeed.

Interested to see where Raphael Lavoie gets drafted. hell of a shot and mobile big kid, but the real guy I am waiting to see drafted is Justin Barron next year. My god this kid has it

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Toews has symptoms and won’t be back until after Christmas.

source?

 

[Muffin]

source?

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

Kadri back is nice but man that D core is going to be rough now.

 

[Nihiliste]

There will probably be some postponements and also likely some more cases on the Avs. Hopefully no one winds up with long covid symptoms

 

[Cypher]

So Marchand (BOS), Barzal (NYI), Toews (COL), Lomberg (FLA) all in protocol as of today. Calgary is pretty much all in protocol. Vancouver has some players,, Carolina has some players, sounds like Nashville has a handful too.

The LA Rams and Cleveland Browns have have a dozen players too on their team in COVID protocol.

I'm fully expecting a pause by the weekend, and make up the games during the Olympic break, which I bet players won't be going to anymore.

Look at it this way. The Avs probably have additional infected players now and don’t know it. Even if we lose to the Rags tonight, we’ll infect them too and mess those guys up.

yeah he didn't look good

Barron is a terrific skater

 

[jaisen73]

If the league was smart they'd postpone games beginning this Thursday or Friday until after Christmas, including a pause on practices for at least a week from the point of stoppage. Better to make a plan that hits all 32 teams and is built around a brief break that was already on the calendar.

 

[Hennessy]

It begins.
