Point percentage isn't fair IMO, NJ had to fight through an unreasonable schedule. They have had nearly no practices. I'm sure NJ would have preferred point percentage with much more rest/practices.
Don't think there will be a system that is going to be fair to everyone.Point percentage isn't fair IMO, NJ had to fight through an unreasonable schedule. They have had nearly no practices. I'm sure NJ would have preferred point percentage with much more rest/practices.
NHL should have had a plan in place prior to season start. NJ got the shaft having to play with COVID cases then they had to play an impossible schedule after like 16 players had it.Don't think there will be a system that is going to be fair to everyone.
Exactly.
My 41 years old wife who has no pre-conditions has almost died just before the pandemic, after catching influenza. Her immune system overreacted, causing a sepsis. She spent 4 days in ICU. Imagine what covid variants can do now.
Really bad situation for the Canucks and their families.
You got to accept that that Vancouver is done for the season.
They already reported that the 11th deadline to end the season can maybe be pushed by 3 or 4 days at most.
3 cases up to 8 the next day, and now 14.
Wait till sundays figures come out.
I'm glad your wife is okay. Holy. That is really scary. 4 days in the ICU? You must have been losing it. Life is scary.
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.
Are NHL players vaccinated?
Canada has a different vaccine situation than the US and more micromanagement of doses has been required to date. We don't have production capabilities and are leaning on international aid. Everyone in Canada is being vaccinated at a slower rate than in the USApologies if I haven't been following closely enough, but does the reason that the entire NHL (players, coaches, staff) not vaccinated by now still boil down to optics? When vaccinating the league en masse was brought up many months ago, there was an argument that these younger people should not cut in line in front of more eligible folks. Now that tens of millions have been vaccinated in the U.S. and Canada, are there still valid reasons why anyone traveling with the team should not be vaccinated?

Unless the NHL buys and administers their own vaccines to the players on Canadian teams likely don't and won't have vaccines for some time.
Can't speak for other provinces however I dont imagine it is much different than BC cause we are following the guidance of a Federal group and the Feds buy and allocate the vaccines to the province...
BC will not be vaccinating the likes of NHL players for months yet... they are focusing on citizens that are at highest risk first
Just cancel the rest of their games and give them the first overall pick. Everybody wins!
