Ofcourse.

Which bring an interesting question, how do these arenas plan for playoffs.
Like you can sort of predict would the team make the playoffs and all but you really don’t know how far. Also what if they share the arena with NBA.
I imagine they have select days open from the start of playoffs through to the finals.
I can't imagine these building being booked out every night anyway.
I can't see them going to the Olympics anymore. The 3-5 week quarantine rule if you contract Covid there won't be worth it.

With all the evidence pointing to Omicron being very mild we should just let it run it's course and everyone can develop natural immunity, therefore assuting not losing anyone in the playoffs

I'm happy if they don't go.
 
It’s just the flu…..
Be careful what you say .. for me COVID there was no flu at all .. it was really just an issue of trying to breathe through my lungs .. like someone standing on my chest pressure and then trying to breathe .. good news it lasted 3-4 days then gone as fast as it came .. but 4 nights on an oxygen machine to fight through it .. would not wish it on anybody SCARY .. this new variant has a 3+ person pass through vs 1+ person pass through for delta so case counts will be at 10,000 per day in Ontario inside 2 weeks and then we will see what is does to our hospitals .. but sad to hear 2 shots protection past 90 days is basically useless .. getting my booster tomorrow before da sh*t hits da fan here in TO
 
Omicron is much more viral with much less severe outcomes. It really shouldn't lead to mass lockdowns but I mean...who knows.
I was watching cp24 today, some Dr. was on there saying the omicron strain is not milder and people should stop spreading that. I don't know, i'm just regurgitating what I heard. I'm guessing he knows more than most.

I think the Chinese government would prefer the NHL doesn't go. I read an article where they were worried about their team being humiliated. Apparently being the host country they get to ice a team.

I think any WJC teams(top level) can trash the Chinese Team.

I was at a Christmas dinner Saturday and one of my colleagues son was scheduled to play for China but COVID wiped out his chance.
Obviously he's Chinese but grew up playing GTHL and the Canadian College Hockey. He's graduated and playing high level beer league.:laugh:
Safe to say they will be humiliated by pretty much every team.

I think any jr team would crush them. They were trying to enlist Canadians with Chinese ancestry. So really what level would that be? I can't think of any notable players fitting that description. Not at OHL level anyway.

Cliff Pu and Jet Woo come to mind.

Yeah I'm thinking it would be something like that womens hockey tournament where some country got waxed 82 - 0 by Canada or the U S

Does he play goal? hahaha.

I think it is pretty danger for guys playing in beer league to play against guys like Stone, heck even WJC teams.

Didnt Noodles used to play Goalie for a few games in the Chinese league? Maybe he can play goal for China and get absolutely destroyed from guys he badmouth over the past few years on Overdrive and Panel
 
Yeah I think I'd agree although I guess this means they will have to make a special trip out West at some point to play it.

Hopefully this isn't the beginning of a shut down
.
They've already canceled my daughter's league until Boxing day. Sounds like kids are going to online learning again after the break. :help::help::help::help::help:

Forward. He grew up playing against Marner, McDavid etc., so he would have been ok. Shame he would miss out on a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Yeah my wife works for a Doctor and she told her to make sure the kids bring everything home for Christmas break as they probably won't go back. Seems like it's never ending.

I think it's inconclusive but looks positive in South Africa where the outbreak began. Hospitalizations did not skyrocket and it looks like it's already slowing.

Gonna miss watching the game, however; this could t have happened at a better time. Wheels appear to be coming off with the mental lapses, poor positioning and all the injuries and such. Time for Keefe to get this group refocused.

My sons Grade 7 class has a confirmed Positive, and they’ve been told to stay home and self isolate.

My cousin, who is a Dr. in Montreal has been in ICU for going on 2 weeks.

…… <heavy sigh>

unfortunately its how pandemics and virus work...and well ofc the demographics of how we are fortunate in canada and all to get vaccines and potentially boosters, while people are yet to receive a single one. This bloody virus has made me lose at least 20 family friends or relatives not a fun 2 year period.
