Staples Twitter: Bailey, Lee, Johnston, Bellows, Pelech, Greene, Chara, Cizikas in COVID Protocol

[BrockLobster]

Both tests can be collected by using either a saliva sample or nasal swab. All of the PCR tests I've done have been saliva samples. I do rapid (antigen) tests at home and those are nasal swabs.

PCR test results come back in 24-48 hours. Rapid antigen tests 15 minutes. Easy peasy.

Rapid tests are easy yes.

Rapid tests are easy yes.

Sigh... No more difficult than a PCR test.

In light of the mods latest post....no comment.

Enjoy the game tonight if at all possible.

For those who were very concerned I was tested for COVID, PCR test, and tested negative.

I know with the roster issues they might need an emergency backup and want to let you know, and any staff reading, I am ready.

Just wear your gear to the game. Although that's going to make it much more difficult for you to piss on the NYR fans in the stands....

The amount of times I'm about to leave the locker room, and for some reason it's at that moment I realize I should piss. It's absurd. No easy way with goalie gear to do it.

This is a special situation though, I might make some modification to my gear.

You might want to seal yourself with bubble wrap just in case.

Are you as good as that zamboni driver?

 

[BMOK33]

I am surprised nobody has tested negative yet. Having followed outbreaks on many teams now in all leagues it’s fairly rare to have 3-4 guys be testing positive for over a week

I'd probably say no, only because I feel like he played at least at a collegiate level from what I remember and worked with the pros/minors. My trajectory was never beyond pick-up/beer league. I play in the second highest level in beer league (that sounds so sad), but I can't imagine I'd fair half as well as he did in a pro game. Even the next level up from mine, with mostly former college or juniors guys, the talent is a huge jump.

I'm surprised Godfather Lou didn't get it done.

Still an hour and a half left to postpone.

Pagnotta’s not a serious source.

If that's true then im really into this game. We get its heresy to deny the #1 franchise in the sport to get 2 pts.

 

[MarsTBOW]

All I know is when this happens to the rags , or leafs, or pitts or Washington or the mcdavids they better not get any postponements.

Oh you know they will

 

[JBHockey]

Only D man is Mayfield. Is this what the NHL want's .. F'n Ridiculous

 

[bigtim1988]

as much as I want to watch an isles vs rags game, I really don't want to watch this one with most of our regulars out.

I'm going to save myself the agita

 

[Not4u]

I don't even know what that was?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Not surprised Dobson was out last night, his leg was in a awkward position the other night. Hopefully it is not serious. Too much of that going around this year. Looking for some good news on Noah, if he can be back for The Pens game. This is a positive.

Korea only does one test. If you don't show a negative from having your brain tickled, it's not a good enough test. Those others you are talking about drop down to 80% effectiveness. So when folks are talking about testing, they are talking about the one that actually does the job the best. There is nothing easy about that one.

 

[Smash255]

Do we know when everyone can return?

I know it is at least 10 days if a player is showing symptoms such as with Bailey, but do we know the timeline if someone was asymptomatic? Do we know if Lee, Pelech, and the others had symptoms or not?

Has anyone even reported that he was symptomatic? I only read that he tested positive.
