NHL Mumps

[PeteMoss]

Hard to feel sorry for the Penguins when they let Crosby practice looking like the Elephant Man.

But yes.. the Flames have played the Hawks and Penguins lately so wouldn't surprise me if the Flames start seeing it.

I'm reminded of the scene in Spinal Tap where the band members are shown to all inexplicably have cold sores.

The Ducks players that this started with are wealthy guys living in Southern California - the heart of anti-vaccination country. They're probably more likely to be around unvaccinated Mumps-prone kids than anyone else in the US.

Ramo is being tested today. Lee Stempniak is now in quarantine and played Tuesday against the Flames. I don't think this is over yet.

Where did you see about Ramo being tested?

All that's been out is that he called in sick today and they expect him to be at practice tomorrow. Hartley said there was zero indication this was related to the mumps.

Wouldn't surprise me if they tested him just to make sure though.

Friedman on the fan960 this morning said that a physician friend of his told him that he hadn't treated a case of the mumps since 1999 at his clinic. It's just so bizzare that it is popping up now among professional athletes.

[Burke Salad]

Don't you mean Moops?

Add two more Penguins acquiring the mumps, Downie and Greiss. Sutter tested negative.
