Injury Report: Penguins Player Tested Positive for Covid-19

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Still don't know how this is going to go on without a vaccine. Makes no sense to me really, but I'm not some obscenely wealthy owner with no human empathy.

Like others have said, if a guy like Domi (diabetes) or someone with asthma gets Covid-19, that's bad news. Really, really bad news.

Hockey ain't that important.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

They say the player has recovered and is feeling well. Coming from the team that said Sid didn't have the mumps, I take little comfort in their statement.

"There's no indication that Crosby has the mumps, he's showing absolutely no symptoms whatsoever."

bundesliga has been playing for a month. why does everyone ignore this

 

[The Old Master]

Unfortunately in the United States of America no one really cares about hockey.

I read that somewhere recently.

only because we have that thrilling nonstop sporting game of poker.

I mean the vaccine will not cure the virus and it's not even close to as deadly as they thought it first. People are already gaining immunity And the disease has lost potency. We are talking about flu like death numbers at worst now. The athletes have a better chance of dying in a plane crash than dying of the virus.

I'd love to play a Marchand-less Boston.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I wish Marchand painful splatter shits from now until December.

 

[Bingo71]

With someone elbowing him every time he’s on the shitter.

I don’t see it happening myself, which is why I’m not even following it all that closely.

yoUr TeaM eMplOyeD maTt CoOkE!

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I HATE that argument.

But I mean... it WAS kind of a dark era at least for me. I despised that dude.

 

[HandshakeLine]

yoUr TeaM eMplOyeD maTt CoOkE!

 

[HandshakeLine]

Ruutu was by far the superior pest.

I like when Caps fans use this line. They also employed Matt Cooke.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Incidentally, I kind of wish the Pens had an agitator these days.

Sure. Just not a dirtbag like Cooke.

Loved Ruutu.

 

[Mr. T]

I like when Caps fans use this line. They also employed Matt Cooke.

And defend the current Frankenstein's monster that their team employs.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Cooke sucked in retrospect, but mostly because his game was headshot based, and it was only a matter of time before that caught up with him, like Armstrong, and honestly, the faster those kinds of guys are out of the league, the better IMO. I've definitely come around on that. I'd say those are even worse for the NHL's concussion problem than fighting.

But I want a real shit-stirrer, like C. Lemieux, Verbeek, or Avery.

Yeah, I have much more respect for the guys that start shit just by running their mouths and generally being comically asshole-ish. Barnaby was amazing at that. His feud with Lyle Odelein is an all-time favorite hockey memory.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

It was pretty awkward when the Penguins employed a dirty player since we were the first and so far only franchise in the NHL to ever do anything like that, but hey, we're a scummy organization and we can't help it.

Barnaby was an all-time HHOF shit-talker.

Edit: For da yout':

Barnaby, Odelein go ape over long-standing feud

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

...I'd say those are even worse for the NHL's concussion problem than fighting.

Absolutely. You can at least prepare for a fight. You can't prepare for some scumf***'s flying blindside elbow to the back of your skull because he couldn't stop you all night, conventionally.

But I want a real shit-stirrer, like C. Lemieux, Verbeek, or Avery.

Yeah I could for sure deal with a genuine, ride-the-line, shit-stirrer. But whoever that might be still has to like... integrate with the lineup, if that makes sense. Reaves was a good idea/bad idea kind of thing for that reason, IMO.

 

[Gurglesons]

Ruutu was by far the superior poet.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I still think Reaves was totally misused here, but that's a topic for another thread another day. I'd just settle for someone with some absolutely devastating chirps. Maybe that's ZAR's real talent?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I still think Reaves was totally misused here...

I tend to agree.

Like... did I like the sudden philosophical heel-turn? No... don't think THIS is the kind of team to go rough and tumble. Do I think Reaves could have been much more successful here? Yes.

But you are correct. Another thread.
