Injury Report: Cody Ceci OUT

[Drai Fi]

I mean if you're going to time travel there are probably better uses for it, though that would be great

 

[Stoneman89]

I would use it to kill Hitler, but I fear falling prey to his hypnotic eyes and soothing voice...

Especially in such a romantic and sexy language as German.

My mom and dad were born in Germany; it's a very good language for conveying logic, but it definitely sounds harsh lol

 

[Whyme]

Precisely. It would likely take a border closure including vaccinated individuals at minimum to shut them down again. They've learned a lot in the last 20 months about how to play while keeping players safe, and they now have vaccines to minimize the transmission and severe outcomes.

According to some new research it may not affect the transmission side, but the most important thing is to avoid severe outcomes. I hope and believe this won't grow into anything big and it's also interesting to see Niemelainen as he was pretty solid in the training camp. Seeing Niemelainen play in the NHL has some value so we will soon know better if he could be a cheap option next season. I don't know if it's true but I read that about 5% of the PCR tests are false positives so it could also be just that.

It does sound a bit harsh, but I like the language. If only I could change the grammar a bit to make some things easier to learn (like take away der/das/die to start)

 

[Oilhawks]

Huge loss. If there are any Ceci haters left, they should all be gone after they see how well the D performs without him.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Meh. Berglund might be a tad more skilled but similar.

That's a weird callup IMO.

Isn’t it Berrylund?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Who is his road roomie?

IIRC he doesn’t have one. Once a player has so many years they don’t have bunk mates.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Around 600 Covid cases currently in City of Edmonton (not metro) and somehow one of our players contracts it. I mean on top of Keith, Nurse injuries this is all kinds of bad luck.

Would think it was contracted on the road. But a bit odd as road trips are pretty secure generally.

I suspect they’ve done away with roomies altogether while dealing with COVID. I know they did last year.

Not to turn this into a COVID thread, but there are significantly more than 600 cases in Edmonton, they just aren't being found out about. NHL players are tested regularly, much more so than the average person in a city. So the chances of an NHL player testing positive is much higher.

how do you know?

609 active cases are all that matter

COVID-19 Alberta statistics

Because even if asymptomatic players are still tested every where they go. Then general public is not.

 

[Dakkon]

I'd probably head straight to April 23, 2015 and prevent a certain press conference from ever happening.

Haha just wondering even if you could go back to April 23, 2015 How exactly would you prevent a certain press conference from ever happening?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I think they are only tested every 3 days unless in Covid protocol and before crossing the borders to and from the US.

 

[bone]

Can we even get anyone from the condors now.

 

[rboomercat90]

So….

Broberg Bouchard
Russell Barrie
Laggeson Niemelainen

?

Uhoh

 

[rboomercat90]

And in an amazing turn of events since the rest of the Nations can't quickly assemble teams after all their best get quarantined in Vegas, Team China wins gold in Men's Hockey.

I might place a futures bet today.

Spencer Foo for the Gold Medal clinching goal. At least a bit of a local flavour to it.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

So starts the beginning of the end of the season. Good lord I hope I am wrong but it seems like we have seen this dance b4

What ridiculous hyperbole

 

[Oilers in NS]

Stay positive. Schedule ain’t to bad. We play Canes Dec 11 and Leafs 14th. Hopefully healthy team by then

There's already been 6 postponed games I believe. I'd suspect if that grows to 10 or more by January 10th, they'll opt out as I doubt they want to push the season end out further than the end of April again. Stanley cups in July aren't optimal..

 

[Oilers in NS]

Ceci out too? Damn, he was a rock back there for us. Lots of adversity for this team, we’ll need some players to step up. Luckily we can on a couple fronts, either outscore our defensive troubles which we’re capable of, or have Skinner bail us out which he’s capable of.

Also, Covid is annoying. Anyone know how long a Covid protocol usually lasts?

10 days at least I believe

I haven't thought about that guy in awhile.

Him and his brother are playing together in the KHL.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Actually noticed Niemelainen in pre-season. He was a rock solid defender, good stick, positioning and quite physical. Really sucks Ceci is out, our most consistent defender, but at the same time excited to see what Marcus can bring to the back end.
