News Article: Leafs in COVID Protocol

[thinkblue]

Ugh.

 

[Bellefour20]

Spezza comes as a bit of a surprise. Was he with the team on the road trip, I assumed he wasn't allowed to practice with them yesterday?

 

[cyris]

Why are we still trying to stop the spread? League is a joke. These are elite athletes and all of them are vaccinated. Zero risk. Take a couple days off to deal with the sniffles and move on. Clown world

And what about the people they pass Covid to that aren’t athletes?

 

[Cor]

Should say what the hell and bring up SDA

 

[justashadowof]

Justin Holl's 2nd period gloves have been placed into the NHL's Covid-19 protocol.

 

[Gabriel426]

I think COVID is attracted to good players

 

[Fogelhund]

Matthews already had it so he is immune.

For the record, having had it, doesn't mean immune.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Jfc. f***ing COVID.

 

[egd27]

They should do a bubble. Keep the fans but keep the players in a bubble

How would that work exactly?

 

[Fogelhund]

Down to these forwards available.. for now...

Bunting Matthews Kase
Engvall Nylander Mikheyev
Ritchie Kampf Steeves
Clifford

 

[Ciao]

Go read the Canuck's pre-game thread.

It's the exact opposite there.

And frogs are mostly green. But not always. Pringles make good potato chips. I saw the sky today. And it was blue!!! Moist is a funny word. Mostly.

The sad part is yours made more sense than the one you quoted.

he's got 4 kids - things can happen. this virus is one of the biggest pos things that has ever existed

Well there were those 2 World Wars in the first half of the 1900's that each lasted 5-6 years.

Woe is me

We can't recall anyone further... what we have now, is what we have.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Likely that the entire locker room is infected at this point. Will be the whole NHL soon. This variant is a bitch in terms of transmissibility.

Hope this wave peaks and burns quickly

 

[justashadowof]

This is all a grand conspiracy to keep Auston Matthews from ever scoring 50 goals in a season.

And what about the people they pass Covid to that aren’t athletes?

and there is no chance those people will catch Covid when they are out shopping. Everyone is back at work and at risk of catching Covid. A bunch of millionaires should be no different

 

[Confucius]

Now that you mention it, it is a very public view on just how good the vaccines are, or not.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Matthews already had it so he is immune. Throw Campbell in net and Matthews could be the canuckleheads all by himself.

With this variant in particular, breakthrough infections are happening for those with immunity from being vaccinated and those with prior infection.

There is a chance I will get in a car accident on the way to work in the morning.
That doesn’t mean I should drive down the highway in the wrong lane screaming YOLO.

Yes there are risks with regards to Covid in every day life. That doesn’t mean people should knowingly expose themselves to it and then pass it to their families.

 

[justashadowof]

Now that you mention it, it is a very public view on just how good the va**ines are, or not.

They've actually worked really well. As a wealth transfer of public money to private corporations.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Play through it because there is no better option.

"shut it down." achieves nothing all that does is give a bunch of millionaire athletes time off and they are NOT going to going to sit in their homes, they are going whatever they want be it get together and have their Christmas parties or book the first plane ticket to Mexico there there will be no isolation so shutting it down does nothing to stop or slow the spread in fact it could and likely would make it worse.

If they are on the ice you have SOME control over them, if you shut it down you can't control shit.

But also you can't just shut it down because you have TV contracts you JUST signed, that contract has to be filled that's what a contract is it's legally binding

 

[leafsfan5]

We're now down Spezza, Simmonds, Kerfoot, Tavares, Marner

5 of our regular forwards. Almost half our forward core is gone lol
