yup thats Millen thought he was done...

 

[garce]

Got the worst colour guy with the best pxp I guess it balances, I thought they were putting him out to pasture with some dignity

 

[zeke]

So we play Vancouver in 2 weeks. Odds of that one actually happening?

Honestly thst would ease up our schedule right in the middle of our toughest stretch. It would be kind of perfect

Ottawa about to hand Montreal a regulation loss. That’s a help.

 

[Egghead1999]

When a player is placed on the list, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he has covid

You are right. However, it said there were 14 cases in Canucks now

makes it a great saturday night when the habs lose!

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

The french give up 6 to the politicians. What a great night.

What says there are 14 cases? There are 14 on protocol list and that includes Boyd despite him not even having contact with the team yet because he’s still quarantining after his waiver claim.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Senators just slapped Montreal. If we can get on a streak and oilers and jets lose a couple games in a row. We can make some serious separation.

 

[zeke]

Man oh man if only the sens hadn't tied themselves to Murray in net they might be decent.

 

[garce]

Watching the Las Vegas broadcast, man Lawless needs a intervention always a big boy, but gosh.
Millard however is somewhat less irritating.

 

[garce]

Man oh man if only the sens hadn't tied themselves to Murray in net they might be decent.

They might be able to overcome that contract, unfortunately Dorian and Melnyk will combine to eff up even the most optimistic outlook.

Canadian team to Canadian team does not require quarantine.

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Believe there is a quarantine involved still.

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Canadian team to Canadian team does not require quarantine.

I was wrong in that it appears Boyd completed his quarantine amd practised with the team.

But there is a 1wk quarantine at least for joining a team in BC from Ontario:
Travis Boyd will get power play time with the Canucks - Vancouver Is Awesome

Just finished watching the Avs game. The way Makar gets the puck to the net for the winner from the point. I got so upset; we have no Ds who can do that...........

Makar’s the player we wanted Rielly to grow up to be.

Canadiens just got wrecked by Ottawa tonight. I love the fact that North Division is so mercurially bad...

What a spirited game. I don't know what it is about North division games, they don't seem up tempo like the ones other division
Burtosso was going to kill someone today, he had a good fight against Obrien.

All because someone touched their goalie

You are kidding right? That puck was going 6 feet wide. I think he was hoping to get it off of the back boards and out the other side for a tap in... Either that or he was just throwing a totally inaccurate desperation shot.

It deflected off of a stick, hit another guy, and went past Husso. It was about as lucky as Matthews' last OT goal.

Makar is one heck of an offensive defenseman though.

Makar’s the player we wanted Rielly to grow up to be.

I would say getting a quality #1 defenseman who can put up some of the best offensive numbers in the game right now without being a defensive liability is nothing to be complaining about. It's like complaining that you have a healthy Kris Letang instead of Erik Karlsson. Karlsson is better and won a bunch of Norris trophies, which could be within Makar's grasp, but I would definitely not be complaining about having Letang instead.

Especially since Letang has won 3 Cups and Karlsson has won 0.

Watch any Calgary-Edmonton games?

Toronto-Montreal will probably heat up down the stretch too. We have another 6 games against them and it could be a preview for the playoffs. We haven't really played them enough for the blood to boil.

I don't really care as long as we play well, work hard, and we win. We are doing all of those things. We don't need to be getting into unnecessary fights and getting hurt or taking unnecessary penalties, which is almost certainly going to happen with our history with the refs this year.

More than half of Canucks' players have tested positive for COVID-19
More than half of Canucks' players have tested positive for COVID-19 - Sportsnet.ca

So, half of the players + 3 coaches + 1 taxi, it should be at least 14 cases.

I believed Boyd finished his quarantin, and he was in the building when the outbreak occurred (Monday or Tuesday)

I believe it is 16 players, plus whatever coaches and staff. Bad situation really. Including the talk by the panel, on the possibility that they might not play again this year. I hope that everyone recovers well and fully, of course hockey being secondary now.

Note, Vancouver board thread says 16 players, plus three coaches, and the assumption that everyone has been exposed, and is sick. It is also a Variant of concern, the Brazilian variant.



LeBrun: NHL operating under assumption that COVID-19 will go through entire Canucks team

So all of their games have been postponed, through to the end of next week... So to March 10th. They stated won't play hockey until then... which makes me wonder. These guys can't practise, can't do anything... so how do we expect a hockey team to perform, when up to half the players may have been sick, and everyone hasn't been on the ice for two weeks? If they 'only" miss next week, that will be six games postponed. If they can come back and play, and the league deems it important, they would end up having to go an extra week and a half at least, just to get the games in.

Why is Boyd quarantining after his waiver claim? He went from a Canadian team to a Canadian team. This smells fishy...
