Pre-Game Talk: Duck hunting season POSTPONED.

[Stoneman89]

I don't think the Canadian government will allow someone with COVID to fly into the country even on private charter so I wonder if Jesse is just f***ed and stuck in Seattle for another 9 days.

I hope he isn't sleepless.

 

[GMofOilers]

So whole team should be back for 27th game, hopefully the teams does 0 testing between now and then.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Took a win before the shutdown. Should be healthy and ready to go after the break.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

No…. Gulutzan was doing so well!

 

[Anarchism]

Wouldn’t the incubation be more than one night?

How dare you use a bit of logic in the face of this whining and moaning and crying and hubris.

 

[tardigrade81]

I doubt this game happens.

Ugh. Depressing

 

[Anarchism]

JP probably has a fairly open expense account going on right now. It might be a fairly open quarantine policy as well. I would imagine he is having some visitors in the evening as well.
Poor Jessie might be better off than the rest of the Oil.

 

[Oilhawks]

Yup, unless the omicron variant doesn’t function like most other viruses and I missed that, doesn’t make sense for these cases to be related.

Both Oilers and Kraken players could have just as easily picked this up from family, friends, etc

They let the Carolina players fly out, IIRC. Would it be that different?

Two in a row! Would love to take out the ducks


Whenever the season gets going again for us.

Fantastic song

Came across it when I was 14 and early into my ventures with heavy metal. This song by was one of the most interesting to me, from the band

 

[Cloned]

Happy these games are postponed.

Sad that we won't see any more HC GG.

Pretty sure he was going for a "Sleepless in Seattle" joke.

Well sucks to be him then because he got fed a song title reference instead

Maybe Smith will be released from the Seniors home before we start up again!

Flying out of Canada vs flying into Canada.

Dealing with two different federal governments.

probably quite different

 

[Whyme]

You can google this, but from a quick look (well two of them) it seems maybe 4% of the PCR tests are false positives. This means that when they test the team one false positive would be the expected average. So only after the 2nd test we know the situation more reliably.

That's likely all she wrote for 2021 Oilers hockey.

Likely today or tomorrow we will find out several more players have gone into COVID protocol for the Oilers shutting them down until the 29th, 30th at the earliest.

Who the heck even knows when poor Jesse will be able to fly back into Canada, I don't see any update on that so I don't think it's happening today.

I posted the update in the Injury Thread. He’s either already back or will be back tomorrow.

Hes probably already here. You need a chill pill bud.

 

[Magnum23]

Hate to see this new covid wave come up, I hope I'm wrong but I don't think postponing games for a few weeks will flatten the curve. With more travel and holiday season just around the corner I think it will only ramp up for the next few months.

Just hoping the NHL doesn't shutdown for 5 months like 2020

It won't. Worst case scenario is probably no or less fans.

But did he lick the airport? I want to know.

Hope the big guy, our new big rig, is doing OK.

How do some people feel other players won't be contracting this. Through exposure in games on planes or in rooms they can contract something. In the case of the Flames it spread to the whole lineup very quickly. They sensed the losing streak they were on..

The Bison King is to good to sleep in a sleezy Seattle hotel room.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Maybe Smith will be released from the Seniors home before we start up again!

Gone for the season
