We have more Canadian teams than those other leagues, which is unique but, like, I’m sitting at home at Christmas watching the NBA playing at Madison Square Garden, and it’s like kind of weird to me.” Quote Strome, who tested positive for COVID-19 in October, acknowledged that “there’s a lot of hurdles” for the NHL to alter its protocols. But he stressed that most of his teammates — all of whom received the first two doses of approved vaccine shots — have been asymptomatic after testing positive. He also revealed that “some guys” on the Rangers have received a booster shot, but he wasn’t specific with the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Not sure if this will change too much unless Canada does something on their end. If they don't it will make it more frustrating. US Officials Recommend Shorter COVID Isolation, Quarantine Quote NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials on Monday cut isolation restrictions for Americans who catch the coronavirus from 10 to five days, and similarly shortened the time that close contacts need to quarantine. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said the guidance is in keeping with growing evidence that people with the coronavirus are most infectious in the two days before and three days after symptoms develop. Quote The decision also was driven by a recent surge in COVID-19 cases, propelled by the omicron variant. Early research suggests omicron may cause milder illnesses than earlier versions of the coronavirus. But the sheer number of people becoming infected — and therefore having to isolate or quarantine — threatens to crush the ability of hospitals, airlines and other businesses to stay open, experts say.

josh Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 We've got a nasty flu going around, here. Several kids even missed hockey games over the weekend due to being sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Aren't all players vaccinated? How could there be an outbreak of covid? They're all vaxed! Unless..... Everyone is getting it. Vaxed or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 On 12/26/2021 at 7:12 PM, Bugg said: Unless I am reading this wrong (and learned long ago that is possible) there were all of 52 COVID deaths in the US yesterday and 3 in Canada. Doesn't mean we should not be vigilant and smart, but does show the trend is from pandemic and to a virus we will have to live with going forward. And "smart" clearly includes not going to China. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/canada/ As to the stats; numbers of US and Canada deaths are up, but still nowhere near the numbers of last winter. Is that a function of typical seasonal viruses as people in temperate climates move indoors, get less fresh air and sunshine(and less vitamin D production)? South Africa, which is weeks ahead of us, is totally leveling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they did lift quarantines for certain people and shorten for others. And stopped contact tracing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Dallas just added Jamie Benn, Luke Glendening, Ryan Suter, and a support staff to the list that also includes Radek Faksa, Jani Hakanpaa, Miro Heiskanen, Roope Hintz, Joel Kiviranta, Esa Lindell, Michael Raffle, Jason Robertson, and another two support staff members. The list is a bit long. 11 NHLers. Edited December 29, 2021 by Cash or Czech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that his logic isn't there, but sports are not the industry to be making the call he's making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Ironically, it is the government of Canada, the cradle of hockey, that is going to wreck this season. The NHL used to be willing to play games without fans and take the loss. No more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 How many games does the NHL have to reschedule now? 80? At this rate the postseason is going to end in August or something and they'll have to delay the start of the following season by a couple of months, at least, no?
