GDT: Training Camp 2021: Everyone Else Too Lazy to Make a Thread

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
My biggest concern with Covid isn't player's health, it is -- will the goalies be able to track the puck with all the virus that likely will be on the ice? Must they remodel the zambonies so that it can clear away all virus flooding the arenas?
Maybe they can just plow it in one corner? Make it the Covid corner. Then we'll really see who wants the puck.

Who is this Blackwell guy on the taxi squad?
Thought Gettinger could have been on it

most team are NOT populating Taxi squad with only kids, but rather also many bottom roster vets, ready to step in without notice
as it is NYR have Hajek, Barron, Robertson on Taxi, and 9 ELC players on active roster

Blackwell is 27, 5th year pro, was signed by NYR July 1st, for 2 years so that he is eligible to be exposed to Seattle

Gettinger will be skating with ~20 other Wolfpack skaters in advance of AHL formal activities

Yes and if the virus gets in your eyes will you go blind and become a zombie. Ask Bill Gates - he knows everything about the virus. Actually he know everything about everything. I say he be nominated to be the first Emperor of Earth!

Hopefully the tech mogul turned medical czar Billy Gates can manufacture some sort of shovel that the ice boys can use to scrape up the snow plus any covid juice laying around

thanks again for the informative post! Much appreciates
 
Any word on who will win the Lars-Erik Sjoberg Award ?

Obvious its either Laffy or Miller. Would be kinda cool if they split the award, since they lived together for a few months. Oh wait... will they consider Igor a rookie this camp?

yes since Igor is still a rookie by NHL standards
 
Im sure they will be cautious but odds are he will be fine. He's young and fit. I know several young people in their 20's and 30's including my daughter who tested positive and they all had only mild symptoms and were fine with no lasting issues.
Or the 100s of other pro athletes around the world who got it


That's great, I'm just saying we should default to not being giant AH's about the guy in case he's feeling the effects.

Like pretty much every virus or disease ever it doesn't have a 100% kill rate or a 100% debilitation rate. Everyone knows this, it's not even worth pointing out based on what I was saying
