[None Shall Pass]

YES

[Cheddabombs]

at least they acknowledged his existence!

odds someone asked how he ended up on the list?

 

[None Shall Pass]

They also confirmed that Wood has Covid before the season.

 

[njdevils1982]

Hello Old Friend (hey 82 its the Wanker !)

boo!!!

 

[Zippy316]

Seems like we're looking at:

Johnsson - Hughes - Bratt
Sharangovich - Maltsev - Palmieri
Kuokkanen - Zacha - Merkley
Wood - McLeod - Bastian

Murray - Subban
Smith - Severson
Vatanen - Tennyson

Who knows who plays in net at this point.

 

[Blackjack]

Did anyone post the zajac update? I didn't see it in the thread.




Great news, obviously.

Right now? Zero. When Amanda Stein commented about how Vatanen got on the list I assume it was because he himself said it. You don’t a right to privacy to information you offer up yourself publicly but the policy (according to Cory) is not to snoop for COVID tidbits. When Nico appears we’ll all learn the sad tales of his ouchie leg and his COVID protocol listings.

 

[Call Me Al]

the wood thing is encouraging because he doesn’t seem to have any detrimental impacts, in fact he’s playing the best he’s ever played

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I just want to see a fully healthy team with Blackwood in goal to see how they play together....even if just for a few games

 

[Call Me Al]

With a 3 way tie at 10 points (Buffalo, Detroit), The Devils will re-enter play only ahead of Ottawa. There is a potential to take sole possession of 30th place because Buffalo and Detroit play today.

Can tomorrow’s GDT be Welcome Back Kotter themed?

NHL and NHLPA have supposedly agreed that it is up to the player to disclose information regarding the COVID list.

They're not going to publicly disclose why a player ends up on the list, but a player can say whatever they like when asked.

 

[njdevils1982]

Trim the beard, sure, but switching handedness, too?

This guy's really sick of his cold streak

interesting...first off, i write right handed....

...im a lefty stick and lets just say i have a "mike mottau shot" at best.....i've experimented with using a righty stick at times and found that i actually have an almost better slapshot that way.....strange....

i've also taught myself to throw a football and baseball with unnatural left so maybe that has something to do with muscle memory and whatnot for lack of a better term


....and ill add this even though its football related about handedness.... for the pleasure of @Zajacs Bowl Cut

Tua Tagovailoa’s father explains why the Alabama quarterback is left-handed

 

[Clam Jensen]

I know. It's like a cruel version of "Spin the wheel" (does it land on mild cold symptoms or does it land on being bed ridden?).

I have a 75 year old father who is in Greece right now who told me he is scheduled to get his Covid vaccine shots on March 17 and April 7, respectively.

Nice dude! Congrats to your pops.

Should be Butcher-Vatanen.

 

[Zippy316]

Should be Butcher-Vatanen.

We will see. When they ran PK units, they ran Subban - Tennyson as the first unit.

God damnit. We’re never going to be free from him

Theyre not allowed to ask that, I thought

[RangerDoggo]

YES

He would have been back already if he wasn’t on it, as per Amanda Stein. Sigh.

 

[The 29th Pick]
