That sucks.
2 years in a row the habs lose their head coach in the playoffs...

 

[JT Kreider]

I'm confused how you can even get COVID at this point

 

[NyQuil]

What happens in Vegas clearly does not stay in Vegas.

Even if you're vaccinated you can get it. You won't be affected but you can carry the virus and pass it to others.

Thanks Greg.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I wonder what kind of effect this will have on the team.

 

[NyQuil]

Thanks Greg.

Probably the most obvious joke in the world.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Uh oh.

It gives you partial protection against contracting the virus.

I actually work with 5 people that were double vaccinated and tested positive recently... their symptoms weren't super bad but they were still pretty sick

 

[ReginaHabs]

Uh oh.

I mean, presumably the rest of the coaching staff and team tested negative or they'd not have been allowed to practice today, no? Who else would we be concerned about?

People could get sick over next few days. Sure they tested negative now but could start developing symptoms in a few days and then test positive.. and by that point it very well could have spread like wild fire.

A similar situation like that happened to my cousin but his took 9 days to show symptoms after previously testing negative

 

[These Are The Days]

Oh man. That is not good

I'd be more concerned about what the Quebec and Federal governments have to say. Remember, the Habs shut down for a week because of one positive test and one false positive. And there's a specific exemption to allow the teams to play in Canada.

Its a developing story. We'll see what happens. Might just be Richardson or Burrows acting as HC.

Me too. 3 people just got Covid where I work and we havent had a new case in awhile. All 3 that got sick were "fully" vaccinated. All 3 are sick with symptoms.

 

[JianYang]

I guess Richardson would be the head coach. Burrows is completely green.

The habs are actually down two coaches now. They fired muller and julien earlier in the year, and only brought up Burrows.

Double vaccinated? This can't feasibly be a real thing can it?

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Now let's see what the damage is to the roster...

 

[TT1]

Pretty crazy, he was vaccinated twice too.. what a f***ing disaster.

 

[Canucks LB]

f*** the useless vaccine

From what I understand (Feel free to correct me)
It takes an entire month for it to actually work properly, and about two weeks after the second dose to be 95%

I thought this was pretty fairly known knowledge.

Let’s focus on the incident! Thanks guys

 

[AdvancedPressure]

How sick is the guy actually? I would've assumed that he was vaccinated. If he's absolutely bed-ridden I get it, but if it's just a positive test with no (or little) symptoms it seems completely asinine to make a big deal out of this. How many series have been cancelled in the past when guys have gotten the flu? I get it, "bUt iT's CoViD!!" At some point we're going to have to stop acting like someone just tested positive for AIDS every time a PCR test detects something. How many guys in the NHL have been hospitalized as a result of complications from COVID again?

Vaccines do not act as a magical force field. You can still acquire the virus even if you Ar vaccinated, but you'll have enough antibodies in your system to suppress it enough that it doesn't gain a foothold and cause problems.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Oh it's been happening everywhere.. you can still get it, it just cuts the chances way down from getting it and spreading it

 

[TT1]

Habs players are getting tested soon, should get the results in a few hours.
