What's annoying is in a couple of weeks, they will only be testing players with symptoms. Why not just do that now ffs if they are simply going to flip a switch...

They figured by that time over 90% will have already had it.

The United States, and Canada for that matter, are too big in my opinion. They need to break up into smaller countries.

We already are…

We have Quebec Toronto Alberta & the rest of us.

This is good intel from a clever young reporter.

Can confirm his report. Toth set to be #Canucks e-bug on Sunday.

Ok... so if they are anticipating 90% getting it by then and I guess the rest after, what's this all about? They have accepted the league is getting it.... you either stick with it or stop playing games and let it run it's course. Instead, teams are losing their season over the inevitable.

Don't fret...There's still time for him to test positive with a surprise rapid test before the game.

The all blacks rugby team has some pretty big local boys on it…no?

They have accepted because it's pretty much already there. They were 75% a couple weeks ago.

There is probably less than 100 players who haven't tested positive this year.

They did stop playing games for many teams.

I get that but I'm saying why test asymptomatic now if you are tossing that out the window in 2 weeks because everyone's getting Omicron anyways? Not to prevent it from spreading obviously...

He might have to coach the team.

Kyle Gustafsson and Scott Walker in covid protocol now.

- boonerbuck

Because as I said, they figure pretty much everyone will have it by then, so why would they need to test on such a regular basis if everyone has already tested positive in the past 5 months.

Which is what? Stop the puck?

The super goalie coach should be able to stop the puck. You'd think anyways

There's no point in waiting is what I'm saying. You are explaining what I know and have said...

He's going to coach the puck to stop. He's that (frank)ing good!

Devon Toews has 29 points in ~29 games this year - good for a share of 5th most among all defenders since his season began in early-November

He was obtained for two very late 2nd round picks which together possess around a 12% chance of landing an NHL player.

Gross.

Dipietro starts vs Blues.

Is HB your only source for hockey related news? Gilles death has been front and center on NHL, TSN etc. I don’t read all that stuff often, but just checking the scores for the night you can’t help but notice.

I posted it on here minutes after it was first announced two days ago. His reading skills are as sharp as his hockey skills.

Tough break for Martin, would’ve been cool to see if he could’ve had another good game. MDP in a tough spot

Another day, another goalie...

The Canucks aren't the first team to go through this. It'll be interesting to see how DiPietro does against the Blues!
