Injury Report: Deangelo and Pesce (COVID-19)

[Novacane]

Do we go with 5 forwards on the PP?

Looks like it’s possible

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

The difference in those 2 PP units

PP2:
Park Jordan and Koko Miami and Nino in front of the net.
Lob puck at net.
Embrace chaos.

I think Rod should swap one of Staal or KK for Trocheck to balance the two units a little better.

I’d put Slavin on PP 1. Park him in front of the net. Big body, quick hands would be good at screening the goalies eyes and hands are quick enough to deflect shots into the net.

The problem is time on ice. As depleted as the D is we are most likely going to need Slav to play some extra minutes already.

He can do 40!

I've said the same thing several times. He has elite puck tracking hands. He'd be great in front of the net.

Use him like Boston used Chara

 

[chaz4hockey]

lol at me.

I check several times each day hoping that no one else has contracted the disease.

Also will prepare us for when we get Nikishin from Russia where he has been used as a net front guy on the PP by Spartak.

 

[Chrispy]

Yes, but if he's playing 20 as both LD and RD at the same time, isn't that 40 already?

Any word on whether they have the “good” or the “bad” symptom COVID?

If all goes well, we may see them during the 2nd or 3rd game on the trip. Bear is now back for two days and will be informative for these two re: when they come back on how soon they let Bear play.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Won’t the border restrictions come into play? I thought I read that they won’t be able to cross.

You might be right....attached is a Pittsburgh article that said two of their defensemen couldn't travel to Canada since they had Covid within 14 days:

Marcus Pettersson and Chad Ruhwedel out Saturday due to Canadian border restrictions

That takes them to the 13th and after the Canadian Road trip.

 

[Borsig]

How long does thie "protocol" last

 

[Svechhammer]

How long does thie "protocol" last

10 days, minimum

Luckily @Lempo was kind enough to find the Protocol and link it in the thread on Bear.

E. ENDING ISOLATION

Players or Club personnel whose test has been confirmed positive shall remain in isolation until all of the
following conditions have been satisfied:

• If at least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared, and at least 24 hours have passed since last
fever without the use of fever-reducing medications, and symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath,
etc.) have improved (with the exception of continued loss of taste or smell so long as other symptoms
have improved).

• In addition, the Club Physician, its infectious disease expert, and any other treating physician providing
care to the individual, must conclude that the individual no longer presents a risk of infection to others,
and that it is medically appropriate (given individual and local circumstances) to terminate the
requirement for self-isolation.

• The termination of the isolation requirement is consistent with applicable local public health regulations
or other requirements.

^^^^thanks for the update and I’m glad it’s the “good” COVID.

Hopefully their conditioning doesn’t suffer too much.

With the 10 days when does Tony D come back?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

With the 10 days when does Tony D come back?

Thursday or Friday, I believe. The 14 days Canada rule putting a damper on his and Pesce’s ability to travel for tomorrow’s game.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Sounds like neither will be back until the Minnesota next game because of Canada rules... What a damn bummer that our Canada road trip falls like this keeping these guys out longer than they would normally be.

Gotta give them all the advantages they can get to be competitive!
