Good point. I guess I figured they wouldn't be as susceptible to catching it because they aren't in as big of groups as the players but I guess omicron is contiguous enough that if you are out in public and traveling you're going to get it.
Man, are we lucky it's less dangerous and so many are protected from serious illness.

They started practicing on Sunday.
The news showed a clip of practice and Joey and Duchene were both out there.

And then there's this today:

I noticed a few games ago. It looks like they're omitting players from IR. My best guess is that it's an automated scraper that compiles based on the roster page and it's overlooking the IR list.
I wouldn't have noticed the Roster page not having IR players on it without you mentioning it. When did they start doing that? They used to just put an asterisk next to their name to signify being on IR.

I'm just surprised there isn't more of an effort to get some game feedback into the process. As it drags out to "months" that they are working with him, I'd think at some point you want to see him handle more game action in order to get another level of evaluation on how things are going with the rebuild. Even if that means a conditioning stint in Milwaukee - or maybe especially with conditioning stints in Milwaukee.
I'm really curious to see how this pans out, I can't remember ever seeing a case like this before. Not with a player who has progressed past the "rookie" phase in his NHL career, anyway.
Harpur looked way better last season.
Last night's performance was one of the worst from a defenseman I've seen in awhile.

I'm waiting to see our defensive pairings tonight. The Harpur choice was almost like a decision to use him just so Wilson would almost always have a counter on the ice if he got stupid ... Harpur, Boro, McCarron, Trenin, Jeannot, worst case Ekholm.
Might be more of a lhd vs rhd thing but harpur has not been good this season

Maybe some night if Josi is out we should just call up Farrance. (Of course, they're more likely to call up Davies I guess, but either way).

The identity is there among the forward lines and 3rd defensive pairing. Harpur is making a minimum of one catastrophic mistake per game (even with the fewest number of shifts among d-men last night).
Our big salary forwards have to start getting the puck on net at even strength ... there isn't enough PP time for them to only hit the net with the man advantage (Granlund, Duchene, Johansen with zero combined ES SOG at Columbus ... Rittich with one).
Now that the rust should be off, back to putting together full 60 minute games. Can't have just a good second period at Washington and two good periods at Columbus and expect to get the needed points.

Harper was unconditionally waived and currently playing in Finland. Harpur made a boneheaded play trying to clear a puck and cost the team a goal (far from the first Pred to do so). But yeah ... it's the coaching staff that is unimpressive as the team has the #7 PP%, #13 PK%, and a team on pace for over 100 points as things sit today.
There are reasons why Harpur is a #7/8/9 d-man ... he got out of position on one of Washington's goals and forced a clearing attempt right to Texier. He probably held his Gatorade bottle improperly as Laine scored as well.

Starting to get a little worried about the return from that Ellis trade tbh. Not sure magic beans of a lottery protected first round pick wouldn't be better at this point.

Meh. Worst case we still get addition by subtraction clearing a spot for Carrier and saving Ellis cap hit. I also think Glass will still pan out.

I hear you, but Ellis was still a very, very good asset. Seems like a waste at the moment to trade him for an 8th d-man and a maybe. Can't disagree Carrier was ready, just wonder what else was available.
The team's success, while great, is starting to remind me of the Cancuks/Ducks from a few years ago. I really like our hard working guys, Trenin, Jeannot, Sissons, Novak and Kunin. I'm really not huge fan of Boro, McCarron, Benning and obviously Cousins.
Granlund remains this massive mystery to me. How was he so bad under Lavi? Completely different player now under Hynes.
