Confirmed with Link: All Habs games this week are postponed

[Michelangelo]

We're 7-21-3 with a -42 goal differential. We can absolutely afford to pick up the odd win here or there, we don't need to finish 7-72-3.

Yes we do

Every loss counts

 

[tazsub3]

So 9-70-3...sounds good to me.

to me the best case scenario, is cancelling the season and having a bubble for playoff teams.
Like that we dont have to suffer and watch the losses and we sure to have worst or 2nd worst record in the league.

They won't cancel it. They are willing to play until July to make sure all games will be played.

well last people the season of a handful of team was cancelled, so its possible. But yea i agree , its unlikely.

I do understand that it is tough to watch some games but I disagree with the idea of canceling the season because this write off season gives our young guys an opportunity to develop without the usual pressure. Primeau, Poehling, Cole, Ylonen and even Romanov and Evans played less than a full season prior to this season. Then a guy like Clague might just needs an opportunity to become a regular NHL defenceman.

Damn man who’s in charge of handing out the Covid? Oprah? Insane.

Basically it's the "close contact app" that's most likely creating unnecessary chaos, a lot of these people in protocols come back in just a couple days anyway, lot of headlines are so misleading

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

There is no reason cancelling get over it. Ill be the one saying it. If NHL had no teams in Canada , I am probably sure the NHL would be playing today.
Vax them for a 3rd time and keep on running , just take those 750 vaccines from people that don't want a shot and then make the players play and move on.

Gotta learn to live with it. Can't close the country every winter for the next 50 years. It's not like covid wiped 50% of Europe like last time.

Tbh i'm not even sure why they care. If all players and their family are vaxed there's not much danger for them considering their age and health. As long as they play in a big NHL bubble i honestly don't see the problem. For the unvaxed players it's their choice they have to accept the consequences. I agree with you at one point we will have to accept to live with COVID. Can't turn off life for the next 10 years. Put the mask on, wash your hands and get vaxed there's not much else we can realistically do long term.

 

[Habs13]

Any news on when we'll see NHL games again?

 

[Tyson]

Does anyone still care at this point? Covid has once again zapped any enthusiasm right out of me.

I was looking forward when Michel Lacroix announces Rafael arrrrrrrvy Pinards first goal

Supposed to be tomorrow but some more cancellations:

 

[JianYang]

If the nba is any indicator, the covid protocol situation will get worse in the nhl before it gets better.

The nba is powering through this situation with very few postponements, and I think the nhl will do the same once it starts up again. I think the reason we see the nhl postponing for now is that they have the 2 week window later on in the year at their disposal now with the Olympics no longer a thing.

You have to be vaxxed to be playing since it's required by the league

 

[CHfan1]

With Vasy in covid protocol, hopefully the Habs-TB game is postponed. Need that L.

Romanov-Savard

[peate]

The more this goes on, the more confused it gets. Now they're finding a bunch of false positives in recent tests. It's like the blind leading the blind. Just play the f***in' games and if you're gonna die, too bad. RIP.

 

[ArtPeur]

Take that, Coyotes!

Wait till this lineup actually win more games than the main roster

 

[Sterling Archer]

For me it was the constant losing and lack of any effort whatsoever. But COVID sucks too.

 

[Habs13]

Haha, that would be so Montreal typical!
