Vancouver Canucks COVID-19 Breakout (No unrelated covid talk)

[Three On Zero]

It's 28 days if they start on the 12th. If by some fluke Vancouver gets within striking distance of 4th, the league has no choice but to extend the regular season.
Nucks we're already boned in January with the way their schedule went from no preseason to 18 games in 27 days with 1 Goddamn practise.
People say quit making excuses but to literally go into the season still full of rust and then have no practise time never- mind the absolute stupidity for example going from Calgary, on a Saturday back to Vancouver for a game monday, then travel to Montreal for a game Tuesday, then play again Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, for six games in 8 days is brutal.

Given the circumstances it’s a potential full 14 day quarantine for the team. Or so that’s what was reported

 

[M2Beezy]

How many games have they missed plus postponed so far?

Only missed one game. One more tonight and tomorrow and a few this COMING week

Hamonic has a kid who is considered VULNERABLE and hes on the list, hope to heck he and his kid pull thru this

 

[notsocommonsense]

They played really well against Montreal though. They didn't seem rusty or disorganized. Not sure that can be an excuse.

I assume you’re speaking of the one game vs the habs cuz my god, we have been a pile of burning trash against you guys this year

 

[DS7]

I'm fine with canceling the rest of the season for us or bringing up the AHL team. Most important thing is the health of the players and keeping the cases contained.

No, I was just kidding lol. I agree, the schedule has been brutal.

This, health of the players first and foremost

Our season is over as far as competing anyways. . But games will still need to be played vs playoff position teams so put on hold all games vs Ottawa and Calgary and just play whatever team we have left against playoff teams

I saw 10 days for positive cases, could be wrong tho.

Officially out of hand. Time to end our season.

Canucks should pack it in for the season... is that allowed? A team just not play?... schedule would have to be adjusted obviously for remaining teams

 

[McOvechking]

This is really scary and tragic. Forget about the season, I just hope every member of the Canucks organization recovers back to full health in no time.

 

[iFan]

Canucks should probably just shut it down, the after effects will leave these players sluggish if we play again in 2 weeks.. it’s just not worth it given where we’re at. Let the players recover and prepare for next season. Maybe a playoff bubble like last year will need to come in to effect, as that seemed to work well.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

This is a bizzare season that doesn't seem like a real year anyways so who really cares... kibosh the season and let these guys get healthy.

I was never comfortable having a season as it is with fear that something like this would happen

 

[Wall of Wonder]

Hopefully everyone can recover.

If the variant continues to spread in Canada the entire NHL season might be done. Horrible situation.

 

[kooner91]

I think the season is done. The Canucks should just pack it up and care for the players/staff and their families health and start fresh for next season.

Hoping all goes well for all of them.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

News has gone from bad to worse in Vancouver. Probably should just cancel their season at this point. It's been a complete shitshow for them.

They started the season with players on Covid Protocol, so just let it end.

 

[Seattle Totems]

Canucks management should be under fire for allowing a positive player to attend practice. Also Gaudettes wife should not be going out. Just plain stupidity but this is the Canucks as run by Benning so its expected.

 

[leafsfan5]

Yeah at this point cancelling their season is probably best, the health of the players come first and this has spread uncontrollably. The Canucks aren't making the playoffs either so it doesn't have any crazy implications on the division, just sort by points %

 

[jetsv2]

Weren't the Jets the last team to play against them in Vancouver? I wonder if they will be hit too.

The Jets last played Vancouver on march 24th which was several days before any player tested positive, and have played the Flames and Leafs twice each since without a single positive test.

Canucks just need to wait their 10-14 days and reschedule or extend the season as need be. The NHL had contingency plans to extend if needed. Dallas, Buffalo and New Jersey have already dealt with this. Having said that, if the variant is a problem for younger people, then the entire NHL needs to consider shutting down.

I hope Gaudettes wife wasn’t so dumb as to have gone out . . Not sure what the league protocols are but Van continuing practice after a positive and then having another skate afterwards is the height of stupidity

They followed league protocol, nothing wrong with that. Just an unfortunate turn of events after

 

[serp]

That Brazilian variant is no joke. This could very well end the Canucks season .

 

[Team Cozens]

Might be a separate thread but should the trade deadline be cancelled? Given the Vancouver situation with the new variant should players be switching cities at this point let alone crossing the border. Imagine the variant getting into more large States.
