We are not allowed to have nice things.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

I'm guessing Bjugstad, he's had shitty luck this year.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

The wits in our fanbase are already blaming this on Beau Bennett, because why make a fresh joke when you can make one that was old 5 years ago.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I'm guessing Bjugstad, he's had shitty luck this year.

Yes, it is the Pens so it will certainly be the player already out for the year.

 

[Durden Tyler]

would be depressing/funny to lose to habs cause we need to forfeit and end up with a top5 pick

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I hope that it is Crosby or Malkin, so that everyone will be afraid to check them or get close to them.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Yes, it is the Pens so it will certainly be the player already out for the year.

In jest I kinda wish it is the Jack Johnson, because I do not like the Jack Johnson.

y'all didn't really think a team as cursed injury/health wise as the Pens would escape COVID scot-free, did you?

I'm more shocked it took this long. TBH.

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

I'm guessing Maata or Bennett

Oh wait...wrong year

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

I'm guessing Maata or Bennett

Oh wait...wrong year

Please be Craig Adams.

I hope that it is not Iceburgh.

 

[66-30-33]

Jack Johnson is my guess.

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

I hope that it is not Iceburgh.

Iceburgh only suffers from Van Dammage

 

[ChrisKuuuunitz]

Dominik Simon gets covid, come's back scores 15 goals in the playoffs

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Of course.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Truly shocking.

 

[Andy99]

maybe we’ll be able to figure out the player by process of elimination when they all come back to Pittsburgh to participate in the small group workouts soon and that player isn’t there...

if I had to guess, my first would be either Horny or Petts because, well, aren’t they in Sweden?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I would say Malkin but I want to say he and his fam were already tested? Would seem like his usual luck, though.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm not even surprised. Like I want to laugh, but COVID isn't exactly a laughing matter. It's just...man, I'm not even surprised.

Edit: oh, he HAD COVID, not HAS COVID. He already recovered from it, and I'm guessing he tested positive in an antibody test.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

If what emerging studies are saying about it being a virus that attacks the cardiovascular systems are at all accurate, it's worrying regardless. At least as far as playing professional sports is concerned.

It has also come from studies that COVID doesn't even yield symptoms for some people

Like it could be bad, but I don't see a reason to get worried about it if the Penguins are saying the player is recovered and doing well.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I'm not worried about it.

I just think it's all a super-sized shit idea. Even by NHL standards.

 

[Liberty Biberty]

I would say Malkin but I want to say he and his fam were already tested? Would seem like his usual luck, though.

Malkin's wife was sick in April and all 3 were tested. All negative.

Maybe Marleau? He probably traveled back to SJ after the season was delayed. The statement says most guys stayed here, does anyone have any knowledge which players left?

Edit: Sid did the conference call on sportsnet with Giroux and the Staals, said he was in Pittsburgh, so that probably rules him out.
