Pre-Game Talk: Vancouver Canucks vs. Toronto Maple Leafs | Dec 18th | 4:00PM PST | CBC

Do they think they can stop the virus... Everyone is going to get it eventually and probably get it again and again until the world actually stops, nothing is going to change

Nobody thinks that. But until a less severe, dominant variant emergences (which omicron might just be - there's not enough info yet), this is the reality so our hospitals don't get overrun.

Exactly this.

I remember cheering for them when they won in 67. They haven't been in a SCF since. Hard to believe. They have had some decent teams, and decent players.

Two words: Harold Ballard. They had some really good players but was the soulmate of Bill Wirtz.

Really good news about the postponement. It's insane asking teams to play with 1/3 of their team missing to COVID and also as infections are still clearly happening and spreading in the team.

Especially with new infections happening on game day..How many players are in the incubation period..?..It's just asking for both teams to have a Calgary situation on their hands.

Send everyone home for the holidays. See you in January.

Dang. Oh well, seems like the right call. I have to go get tested myself today. Bah humbug.

Leafs-Canucks game scrubbed tonight, along with the Coyotes-Canucks game set for Sunday....next up in the schedule is San Jose on Tuesday (maybe?)

Too bad....the Canucks were on some kind of roll....but player and spectator safety takes precedence.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Locking this down in light of the postponement.
