Icon42 Blues call CDC after bacterial infection spreads.... or not (false report)

Josh Rimer @JoshRimerHockey
Scary stuff, Center for disease control in St. Louis at Scottrade Center and Blues offices right now trying to figure out what's going on.

Josh Rimer @JoshRimerHockey
The reason for disease control in ST Louis is because of players getting bacterial infections last couple weeks.

Josh Rimer @JoshRimerHockey
Ken Hitchcock says on @ HC at noon with @darenmillard @DamoSpin and Healy that two more players down today and all activities canceled.

edit: looks like this story is being misreported

Scary stuff. Athletes are so much more prone to infections due to all the blood, sweat and tears. Hopefully the Flames can employ whatever lessons the Blues learn and prevent the same from happening in our locker room.

Considering one of our players almost died from an infection last year I'd hope the jokes would be tame. Hope they can get things cleaned up quick.

Woah, damn. Someone better inspect their medical practices and equipment/locker room cleaning procedures.

I wonder if Monahan gave it to them.

If you had asked me before the season that bacteria would ruin my hockey pool, I would never have believed you.

Sounds like this is a false report:

Jeremy Rutherford @jprutherford
The Center for Disease Control is not at Scottrade Center. Here is the story ...

Jeremy Rutherford @jprutherford
The #stlblues have a dozen or so child cancer patients visiting the rink today to trick or treat. The plan was for them to tour lockerroom.

Jeremy Rutherford @jprutherford
Doctors squashed that idea and instead the children are going through the offices and arena bowl. Hitch made joke that CDC should be here.

Jeremy Rutherford @jprutherford
So there is no truth to that rumor/report, according to several club officials.

So I don't have to worry about my fantasy team losing Elliot to some form of bacteria?

Sounded strange, but believable with all the panic over ebola lately. Got a good chuckle out of the fact that it was a joke and I'm glad it's not serious

This is why Twitter sucks and is hilarious.

I just burst out laughing on my very quiet bus heading back to camp. I had 6 or 7 people just stare blankly at me. Thanks....
