Pre-Game Talk: Jets host Canucks • Sat, Jan 30 @ 9:00 pm CT • CBC & SN

[WolfHouse]

Why are there different rules for different people?
PLD has to be quarantine for 14 days take 4 tests to be cleared but travelers coming into Canada will only "be required to take one COVID-19 test and quarantine in a designated hotel for three days ".

They are still required to quarantine even if the test is negative... its ridiculous

 

[raideralex99]

I think it's fine if NHL is more on the cautious side. Plenty of Jets' players are hot right now, the team should be fine without PLD for now. And when PLD joins the team it might even have a negative impact at first if PoMo breaks Stastny line.

Lets be realistic playing 2 teams who have a combined record of 4-12-1 giving up 4 goals a game will make your lines look hot. Make no mistake the Jets need PLD too compete with the top teams.

 

[HannuJ]

I didn’t really think he was a top 6 centre, but I thought maybe he’d be able to take over a bottom 6 role. But I get the point, thanks!

Scheifele
Dubois
Lowry
Stastny

Gustafson only plays if one of them's injured.

methinks you don't understand what a negative COVID test is really telling you.

I don't think any of the 4 players listed plays on the 4th line. Stastny or Dubois likely start on wing. The question is who between Perreault and Appleton do we move down to the 4th and whch player does that displace. I'm not sure if it's Gustaffson or Lewis that comes out of the line up. Assuming everyone is healthy and we add PLD.

now - and follow me for a moment, please - what if i would suggest that, if we do things properly, we have 4 lines that would result in not overplaying our first line?
like, what if our 4th line got 10ish minutes a game?
and what if we never had to see Connor or Scheifele or Wheeler on the PK ever ever again?

 

[Jets 31]

I was far worse than that. Lol.

You jumped out of a plane??? No wonder you are a Jets fan , crazy bastard .

 

[WolfHouse]

I absolutely understand - and that’s why you need to quarantine while awaiting the results - quarantine after is based on ridiculously low percentages... but whatever

not sure if you understand.
one negative test tells us that a person is probably not COVID positive.
a second negative test tells us that a player is still probably not COVID positive. the likelihood that s/he's not COVID positive ends up being the same.
if those tests were positive, the player still quarantines. if the tests were positive, you'd trace contact with anyone s/he was in contact with, including those on the flight.
14 days and a negative test near the end means it's VERY likely the player's not positive and is VERY likely not infectious.

 

[HannuJ]

anyhew, Poolman's off the COVID list. guessing he starts practising soon and will be in game shape within a week.
Heinola, we love you, buddy

 

[Gnova]

I understand everyone is excited to see PLD in the lineup but do you really want to run the risk of seeing 1/2 the Jets lineup on covid protocol just to see him in the lineup a few games early?

I deal with covid every day and currently have four of my staff either positive and off or very recently recovered, and a couple more on isolation waiting results.
When they tested positive, negative, showed symptoms, severity of illness, and recovery time have been all over the map.
Seven day quarantine and then a negative swab result will catch almost every case but not 100%.
The seven days is okay but anything less is reckless. 14 days will catch 100%

This is not a covid thread... but your interpretation of covid testing is extreme

Travel currently is mostly in this form - covid test before departing (with negative result) and then a covid test upon landing - quarantine up until those results then get a follow-up test within a certain number of days in the new country... many regions have used this successfully throughout the year

The Chinese data that has everyone worried about 30% false negatives is not good data... but we are storming ahead with it

Negative test before flight then another test and then 14 days and then a negative test - this is like lowering the speed limit to 50km/hr and everyone wearing a seat belt and a helmet and only driving in the day time... to save lives... the acceptable risk of covid (assuming the person has no symptoms obviously) is ridiculously low after two negative tests and a 5 day quarantine - no one even seems to care if anyone has the vaccine now either... strangely.

Anyway, no sense debating - we'll agree to disagree but please refrain from questioning people's 'understanding' of the pandemic.

And wasn’t amused?

 

[BigHulkingThickV]

God forbid PLD has to sit in his apartment for a whole extra week. Our government is truly depraved for forcing him to undergo such a severe punishment!!!!!!

 

[SUX2BU]

so, in light of all this COVID talk, your thoughts on the game tomorrow there, queenie?

it's now debatable if 14 days catches 100%. think the answer's no, but it's close to 100%. close enough that 14 days is still protocol, but used in conjunction with being asymptomatic

There's literally no reason to test if you quarantine for 14 days anyway - that's my only point. Why waste the tests...

 

[GNP]

What's going on here ?? Vancouver is coming to town, and not one giraffe picture posted

because contact tracing the Columbus team???

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Sucks having to wait for PLD debut for so long. When is he available??

It’s kind of like Christmas when you were a kid - you get that kick ass toy but you need to wait three days until your dad gets some batteries for it.

Blasphemous. Wash your mouth out with soap and flagellate while you're at it. Do not question the gospel according to Maurice heretic.

Flipping channels to find the Jets game tonight and wife yells from other room, the game’s on Saturday dummy!

OMG Mrs. Sip Pulling a Sip on Mr. Sip.

Her view was partially obstructed by the scoreboard, the cheap tickets from 7-11
