10 day quarantine for asymptomatic or until after symptoms appear in Alberta. So even if Saturday goes ahead, these six are out.

Just curious, how does it impact your life one way or the other if it was or wasn't. Enough to respond to it anyway.

for the record, you can take it which ever way you see fit.

lol you posted it on a public message board...by the response its pretty obvious it was sarcastic and in that case an embarrassing post from someone who has basically zero post history who just had to sign in to spread the nonsense. Stick to facebook

Wonder if Phillips will get a chance. He's been red-hot in Stockton lately.

Yikes. I didn’t even think the poster could have meant it sarcastically.

It is good that they are all vaccinated though, since hopefully it prevents serious illness

Cases probably start creeping up throughout the league now. Olympics are honestly feeling less and less likely.

Put Lucic on LTIR for being awesome. Bam! Cap relief!

Plenty of morons like that

"you see it doesn't work!" when a vaccinated person tests positive by covid...Yet, someone with very basic understanding of vaccines realizes these cases are actually proof it does work as there are almost no serious outcomes for the vaccinated. 95% of serious outcomes being the unvaccinated.

Vaccines are working exactly as intended...morons spreading misinformation is the only thing holding them back

If there are 4 forwards out, he may get an opportunity.

Brutal news. I was really looking forward to tonight's game. No games until Saturday! Hopefully everyone comes out of this healthy and without lingering effects.

All hockey players wear helmets, yet injuries still sometimes happen! I guess helmets are pointless!

I was not being sarcastic, I just find it funny when people have to sniff out reasons to be offended. That's all. I would hate to see any of our players be out longer than they need to be when it is preventable.

[Strange Brew]

At least these 6 and likely more will be out 10 days. I wonder what the threshold for missing players will be in order to postpone Saturday's game.

[Toonage]

Thank goodness that's resolved.

Does nobody any good to get baited into stupid arguments.

On the subject at hand, I think the team can turn this break into a positive (no pun intended) I don't think their game has been terrible but it probably couldn't hurt to step back and take a look at some of the details of the game they might not be paying enough attention to.

It could be tbqh.

"Grinder" is how I'd best describe it so far.

[djsFlames]

Does this get Pelletier and Phillips their big breaks? As well as others.

Both those guys should be first choice if required.
