Damn that sucks.


His wife just did commentary for a football (soccer) match that ended 11 minutes ago. So she's not in COVID-19 Protocol (not yet at least).

So hes going to end up underperforming for the WHOLE season?

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Damn.

 

[GunkWinger]

Well that sucks. At least our centers are taking turns being out.

 

[duhmetreE]

 

[Crease]

Has this team had a full lineup at all yet?

 

[jaywills1020]

Fear not. Greg Mckegg is filling in for him.

I have a working theory that "covid Zibanejad" is just Zibanejad when he's not on a stretch where he's shooting 30%.

He's been exposed multiple times through vaccination and a pretty bad case last summer. If he does have it again, I doubt it's anything to write home about.

Fear not! Lord Greg "The Peg" McKegg shall save us.

Barron better get his chance if this is similar to Stromes covid absence

Maybe Zibs can take some time off, rest up, heal up and eat some meat

 

[DazeHereToAmaze91]

I just bought a bottle of Tequila today... I guess it's time to open that bastard up and drink away the pain.

 

[RGY]

This has to be Barron, not McKegg, if Zib can’t go tomorrow

 

[Machinehead]

Also, the Rangers can say whatever they want; last year was a concussion and you can't tell me it wasn't.

True. If "COVID Zibanejad" is still barely sub-PPG, thats still a win.

Kakko will get PP1 time with the big boys now.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So he had Covid and had a vaccine and now has Covid again? WTF?

 

[duhmetreE]

Kakko will get PP1 time with the big boys now.

It might be Laf since it will be mostly from the left wall and bumper . He's better suited there.

Unless Strome moves to that and Kakko is put on the right wall.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Were they just letting him play while having Covid this whole season?

 

[Machinehead]

So he had Covid and had a vaccine and now has Covid again? WTF?

I mean, probably asymptomatic, but yeah.

At some point, we're going to have to have to chill with the 2020 testing rates in a world where most people are vaccinated but that's an issue that goes beyond the NHL.

 

[duhmetreE]

Has he had any DJ gigs lately?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Being vegan will do that

 

[tomobson]

Thank god we already had McKegg up with the team.

 

[duhmetreE]

hopefully it was just a false postiive or a contact tracingg thing.... but tbh... we might be better without him ( depending on who slots in )

 

[RangersFan1994]

Chytil better move up in the lineup. I’d like to see him with Kreider

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I mean, probably asymptomatic, but yeah.

Is asymptomatic Covid with all of those antibodies even contagious? Does he even have enough viable viral load?
