GDT: GM 1 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | 7:00PM PST | SPAC

[BWJM]

Maaaan I'm so excited for the season to start... but no JT Miller for 8 games makes me super sad.... Why Benn why......

Not all that well studied. There's been like, less than 50 total confirmed reinfections out of nearly 100 million confirmed cases. They're obviously missing some but they're missing a lot of regular infections as well. From a closed environment, there were 3 reinfections out of 1400+ antibody positive healthcare workers over 7 months - and none of the 3 had symptoms.

Don't wanna derail the thread with covid discussion so I'd take it to the covid section if I were you, but reinfection isn't much of a scientifically substantiated concern atm. Just wanted to clear that up before too many people read into it a little too much. It can happen but it appears rare from the current evidence.

Reinfection generally being asymptomatic means it generally would not result in a retest.

I doubt there's been any large scale tests of asymptomatic individuals like sports leagues will provide.

Re-infection is definitely a risk that is not to be discounted.

 

[Three On Zero]

I am expecting the McDavid show to be in full force tomorrow night

 

[VibinCanuck]

Sat implying Miller could be out for only a week instead of two if he's just a "close contact" and never gets COVID living with Benn.

Guess we'll see.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Should be fun watching him and Pettersson matchup.

 

[Three On Zero]

Should be fun watching him and Pettersson matchup.

Eh. McDavid could skate circles around Petey.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

This is a f***ing GDT.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Eh. McDavid could skate circles around Petey.

Probably, but still a fun matchup. Hockey's back, wtf.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

The Canucks will be without JT Miller and Jordie Benn on this trip due to a rumoured potential COVID exposure.

 

[timw33]

Really need to avoid stumbling out of the gate in a 56-game season. Not a lot of runway to get back into the picture if you dig yourself into an early hole. Especially when every single game is a divisional game, and the out of town scoreboard doesn't really matter because someone will pick up 2 points in your division every single game.

 

[DonnyNucker]

Eh. McDavid could skate circles around Petey.

Macdavid can’t play defence to save his life. I’d take Elias head to head

Doesn’t help when our leading scorer last season gets COVID before game 1.

These players should not be permitted to stay together right now. Had he got a hotel room, or something, he’d be playing right now. We should do our best to limit these close contacts between multiple players. That means no group dinner, staying with each other, etc. It could save our season.

 

[Ottobot]

Miller going to miss more games than Benn should even play this season. Can only laugh about it.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

So who scores the first goal of the season for the Canucks?

I’m going with Horvat.

 

[M2Beezy]

Macdavid can’t play defence to save his life. I’d take Elias head to head

Yeah but McDavid can

 

[DonnyNucker]

Yeah but McDavid can

Can what?

 

[Hansen]

This is a f***ing GDT.

THIS IS OUT HOUSE.

 

[Kryten]

So who scores the first goal of the season for the Canucks?

I’m going with Horvat.

Hughes

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Well, a good chance for Virtanen here. Hope he runs with it. I’ll go with Jake for the first goal too.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Roussel

~2% re-infection rate according to Pfizer vaccine trial, albeit underpowered to draw solid conclusions. Antibody levels not measured.

[Canuckle1970]

Well, a good chance for Virtanen here. Hope he runs with it. I’ll go with Jake for the first goal too.

And if he doesn't, I'll be just as happy if he rocks McDavid with a clean massive hit like he did a few years ago.

 

[The Stig]

THIS IS OUT HOUSE.

Boeser is canon

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

THIS IS OUT HOUSE.

That remains - to me - probably the funniest HFBoards moment I’ve witnessed.

 

[Coachcorner]

Well, a good chance for Virtanen here. Hope he runs with it. I’ll go with Jake for the first goal too.

I hope y'all crush the oil tomorrowland. Virtanen might explode on so many people tomorrow. Banking that thang. Prediction with respect: Vancouver wins 2-5.
