world juniors?

StL had 4 players go down today. Probably more tomorrow if the trend that has been established continues.

Doubt that the game is going on. The NHL is just being slack arsed and some teams just having to wait with no notice whatsoever. The Oilers were made to cross borders with Covid but I doubt the NHL makes US squads have to do this at all.

Smith is never coming back, is he?

No.

Hyman said he’s good to go for Wednesday!

Is this all a sick joke?

No joking about being sick these days.

I would assume if they Oilers are (already have?) travelling this game should happen?

then again this is all one big f***in' mess so nothing is going to surprise me.

StL plays in the Winter Classic Jan 1 which is a massive revenue generator for the league. Minnesota doesn’t play till then. There’s talk StL will be shut down till that game as well. (Friedman). League can’t afford to cancel it.

Yup!

I thought the game was today. Was pretty excited about it. Now that I see it’s tomorrow I realize there’s plenty of time left for it to be cancelled.

Yeah I don’t have my hopes up. Even if we play we’re probably getting pounded with that left D and Tippets 3rd line choices.

 

[MinisterOfSinister]

A game would be nice.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Meanwhile Zegras is tearing it up and we desperately need depth scoring......hope Broberg pans out and I know D take a lot longer to develop so here is hoping...

 

[BudBundy]

I’m excited to see Samorukov. Love his game.

That Koekkoek/Barrie pairing gave me nightmares from earlier in the season. Those 2 will single handedly lose a game if on the same pairing.
