Domi may not be permitted to play...

[Junohockeyfan]

Domi may not be allowed to play in the play-ins due to NHL return to play guidelines restricting those with at risk medical conditions (for Domi he is a type 1 diabetic). He can appeal but quite frankly why bother.

Probably not a bad idea for him to sit out.

Domi may not be allowed to play in the play-ins due to NHL return to play guidelines restricting those with at risk medical conditions (for Domi he is a type 2 diabetic). He can appeal but quite frankly why bother.

Minor correction he is a type 1 diabetic not type 2.

Minor correction he is a type 1 diabetic not type 2.

Thanks - corrected

Mo chance for Laffy <3

No surprise at all. What a joke of a playoffs this will be.

So if he is not going to be allowed to play now, what will make him be able to play when next season starts? This virus is never going away. Are they going to prevent him from playing next season as well?

 

[Just Linda]

Nah, y'all don't see it.

Price hinted he might not play, CJ hinted he might not be there, Domi might not be allowed.

Lafreniere is already penciled in to the Habs lineup.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Apparently Youppi is disqualified as he refuses to wear a mask. Habs will be at a disadvantage.

Well there’s one thing I know for sure. Regardless of which way the team doctors and potentially an independent third party doctor rule on this, there will be plenty of armchair experts on the internet to inform them that they’re wrong.

Kakko has type 1 diabetes too and the Rangers organization has said he’s playing.
Type 1 diabetes (especially in a young professional athlete) does not present any risk.

you actually think there are going to be playoffs?

What are you talking about? Diabetes is an autoimmune disease which is a huge factor with Covid-19 (and anything else affecting the immune system). This is objectively incorrect.

Do you have any medical data to backup such a claim?

 

[belair]

Is it any more dangerous for him to be playing in the bubble than it would be for him to continue living, shopping, exercising, etc at home?

 

[Holymakinaw]

No I MOSTLY don't think that. It's a ludicrous idea.

But maybe 5% of me is unsure if they'll do it anyway.

We know Diabetes is a risk factor but can we actually quantity this added risk?

Looking forward to seroprevalence survey results of NHL players & staff.

Do you have any support to this claim? I'm reading this post with an open mind, and I'm genuinely interested to see if this is true.

No, likely not. That doesn’t mean you can minimize that it IS a risk factor as the post I quoted tried to do.

 

[Kranix]

Is it any more dangerous for him to be playing in the bubble than it would be for him to continue living, shopping, exercising, etc at home?

Probably a little bit, lining up at faceoff and having a guy breathing on him, having guys coughing and clearing there throats on the bench etc

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

This is objectively incorrect.

That’s never stopped @EdJovanovski before. Why start now?

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

But you'll still watch it.

Your medical talents are wasted on an internet hockey forum, Dr. Wikipedia.

There’s plenty of it out there. Type I is an autoimmune issue, type II is a genetic factor that also gives you high blood pressure that COVID likes to attack.

Haven't heard anything about young and otherwise healthy and well-managed type 1 diabetics being at any increased risk. Any info on that? I assume if the diabetes is type 1 and well-controlled there's no medical difference between him and an otherwise identical person without diabetes.
