Say what you want about DDK, but this sucks. Especially as an American guy the night before Thanksgiving. Hopefully his symptoms are mild.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

This isn't really the time for cheap jokes. This is a disease that has killed a lot of people.

I hope Danny gets better soon, I wish him and his family luck and I hope he has a mild case or ideally this is a false positive test like what happened with Larks.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Here's hoping it's a false positive like Larkins and he's in the next game on Saturday.

I would imagine this contributed to the Renouf being recalled.

Guessing Staal is back, but Renouf becomes the 7th man for a short spell

Can a player get taken out just for contact tracing if they've been around someone with covid, even if that player hasn't tested positive for it?

Because I'm guessing there's going to be a lot of exposure over Thanksgiving for the US players.

I don't know how it works with regards to the CBA, but I'd assume so. My workplace makes us quarantine until we have a negative test if we've been around anyone who has tested positive. Of course, it relies on employee honesty so it doesn't always work so well.

I mean it seems like the answer HAS to be no. Otherwise when one player tests positive, the whole team would have to quarantine. Right?

Yeah, I believe so too.

They test daily after an exposure I think, thus negating the need for quarantining as long as they're negative.

Oh that's a good point! yeah one positive would wipe out a whole team.

Bert is tested daily. The others, every other day.

Yeah that was my guess as well, but they were much more stringent last season before the vaccine. Several Caps players were quarantined from exposure:
Ovechkin, three other Capitals out four games due to COVID-19 protocol

I think several Kraken players were out due to exposure too, because I can't imagine 5 guys testing false positive at the same time:
Ovechkin, three other Capitals out four games due to COVID-19 protocol

So I'm not really sure how they're determining close contact if they quarantine a few players but not the entire team. But back to the subject, it doesn't bother me to see DDK miss a few games but I wish him the best of health.

So is this for with a positive Covid test or are they using this as an umbrella for anyone who’s health is questionable?

If it was a positive test, I think they would have said so. They did with Larkin.

I'm wondering if a family member tested positive.

He’ll be fine.

At what point does this stop? Is this like the war on drugs and something sports will deal with indefinitely?

Probably, not just sports but all of us. 67% of deer in Michigan tested positive for COVID antibodies, and we know it's possible to get COVID multiple times. Even if the vaccines reduce case numbers it's certainly not going to be eradicated like smallpox.

Most likely, but we've also seen guys like Stalock who haven't been fine.

 

[TheClap]

Now that he's fine....

4-0 with DDK out of the line-up. Just sayin'.

you don’t need to just say. DDK is a good hockey player who has routinely been asked to play way above his pay grade. Hate his $5 million salary and the fact that he was playing on a top pairing because they had literally nobody else in the system. But he’s never been anything but a warrior for them.

Anything good Seider is doing now… you can ask Mo, he’ll be giving some credit to DDK, Hronek, Staal, etc for his transition.

Red Wings > DDK when out of lineup

What if we had a "Detroit Red Wings" subforum? Then everybody who felt the need to state that DeKeyser is a bad player/sucks/has a terrible contract could find some thread to do it and wouldn't have to write it where DeKeyser's actual health is being discussed. And while we're at it, we could have similar threads to bash Rasmussen, Zadina or Holland as well!
