I always wondered if players literally get the flu. It seems like when someone' feeling under the weather that's what they call it. I think I literally had the flu once as an adult.

I was always curious too. I assume it's just a headcold most of the time, or something of the like.

But also, maybe these guys can't get flu shots? I don't get sick as often as they do. I consider myself healthy in my eating habits and working out, I'm also constantly washing my hands/using purell, but these guys are in the best shape of people in the world. I know they're not immune, but I assume they also have top notch systems, surely better then mine.
 
LOL if we lose tonight we have a 90% chance at the playoffs? We still act like the sky is falling. I was reading some devils fans the other day talking about their 10% chance of making the playoffs and they were happy that they had an easy schedule and could realistically win out.

They also travel a lot though.
 
St.Louis has been useless as a Ranger, and soon 40 years old. I don't have high hopes for grand-pa.

It's hard for old people in the NHL. Did you notice Jagr when we played the Devils? He had to stop and catch his breath...jeez

The flu or the real influenza is a tough virus infection that will put you out for a week, or even two. A common cold is more like it, virus infection in the upper respiratory tract, causing a sore throat, runny nose and a light fever. Because of a weaker immune system you should relax and stay warm, or it may lead to serious bacterial infections like pneumonia.

The doc has spoken.
 
Do people still think MSL has been useless?

He's had some solid setups that have/haven't gotten finished. I thought he's looked pretty good. Not great, but certainly not as bad as people are making it out to be
 
Rangers have a chance to put up a decent cushion in the Metro

It may not be a must win, but if we're trying to clinch before game 82.. we might want to win it.

I don't necessarily disagree, but using Jagr to prove your point is probably not great.

Ok, well first of all, these guys are 38-41 years old, not 90. Second of all, MSL was a force in Tampa all season and the only reason I see he's not producing points is because Rangers and nothing else because he's looked pretty darn good out there so far, but just hasn't scored. If everyone finished on this team he'd easily have 6 or 7+ points right now.

Take it from this guy, he knows a lot about being 90.
 
Time for Zucc to score. 14 games without a goal.

4-1 Rangers. Zuccx2, MSL, D. Moore.
 
Last time we played them, we kinda stunk and lost 4-1..

A W tonight would ease some minds...

Pretty much. Seems like athletes never get colds, only the flu.

It can't be a real flu, as playing with that could be life threatening. Plus you can be vaccinated against most flus, which pro athletes certainly are.
