Hey....didn't you just travel to BC a month or two ago? So I guess it should be ok then, right?
I drove 3 hours with my two family members to a cabin in Invermere. Only public interactions were a grocery and liquor shop. Also during a time when cases were very low. We canceled our trip to the cabin this holiday season to be safe and help the cause.
My point is the hypocrisy. I could care less if the teams play. Just wondering why some berate the PHO for being too lenient but want different rules for the NHL. Just my two cents.

Your men's team really provides no assurance that they've quarantined beforehand and tested (as players likely will be).
Hey look, I work in a school so none of it makes sense. But I get that some "groups" and events are safer than others. Transmission was happening in those that go unchecked. People's homes, where they felt no need to social distance or wear masks. Private gatherings and events. If you think the NHL is going to allow their assets to be reckless, you're likely wrong. I'm sure that strict protocol will be part of it and their previous track record speaks volumes in how seriously they take it all.
I can't deny that what you're saying is right....pick a side, all or nothing. But there ARE people still: shopping, working, skiing, etc. So I'd really understand if hockey teams play in a rink where things will likely be fairly strictly monitored...probably more so than I do a lot of the other stuff that's happening.Understood but as you can see by the world juniors, all the precautions they have taken haven't haven't help stop cases.
These players are going to go about their regular lives just like you and me and then they will be travelling and playing games. They are not going to be quarantining the whole season.

Has the same thinking of many of us in BC about the fact that our PHO's say no while other provinces are giving the green light. Makes no sense.
"The Canucks would probably play in Edmonton....nobody's going to be excited about that".
I find it odd that some want Covid rules followed by the general public but not when it comes to their pro hockey team. Strange.... Last I checked my men's league team can't play nor can all the youth minor hockey teams. Either we are in a pandemic or we aren't.

those leagues aren't populated, primarily, by Canadians and Euros and their families. Further to that, the US has their hardest work ahead of them and unimaginable tragedy in the next 3-4 months..........we might see a total shift in direction from them on all fronts
So are you saying that there won't be a season or there shouldn't be a season? "Shouldn't" I'm on board with, "won't", impossible....

Amazing there hasn’t been more UFAs signed. There are a lot of quality players that won’t have a chair when the music stops.
Meh, when Cory Perry is the third ranked UFA available I wouldn't say there are a lot of quality players left. Guess it depends on your definition of "quality".

no other country in the world is dealing with 3000+ dead every day, tens of millions of infections and the worst yet to come.
I agree but the NFL, NBA, MLB, Soccer, UFC, etc are all playing/have played so I don't see the NHL cancelling. Not gonna happen.

The NHL will not cancel the season. Every league and sport is playing. It will happen but let’s not be fooled into thinking it will be a real season.

My bigger concern would be that there are long term effects of this virus that could seriously compromise a players ability to continue playing at a high level and they won't be in a bubble, players will be getting sick. That's not an insignificant risk
Agreed. Everyone has to make their own decisions on playing and the risks they are taking.

I would personally have no issues if any Canuck player said no thanks to this season. If they can afford to walk away from their pay for the season all the power to them. If I was a single guy like most of the young guys I would probably play but to leave the family for a shortened season in the COVID capital of the world, no thanks.

I think everyone would agree that living a healthy lifestyle is always the best plan
I took a break from the computer for a bit today and decided to listen to this podcast while vacuuming. Thought it may interest you as someone who has been suffering for a while. It discusses what they call "long haulers" who got Covid. Found it interesting and learned somethings. You may have heard this already.

That is quite the strawman you are building over there, want some help?
Nope. I guess I’ll refrain from spewing my harmful propaganda.

Proof, or it is all spec.
Does exercise help against Covid-19?
Proof please.
I'm aware that exercise and eating well is indeed good for you, but nowhere at anytime, that I've seen, has anyone proven it helps fight covid-19.
Well you sure got me... Lets not encourage people to live a healthier lifestyle. Lets just sit around, eat McDonalds and pray we don't get sick.
Damn, now your going to ask me for my research on if prayer works......

prior to late january, I was a very healthy, athletic, active individual with zero underlying conditions. I am over 300 days of the complete opposite of that
Once again, I am not saying it is a blanket statement and claiming every person who is healthy, athletic, eats well is immune from the virus. I am saying that by following those principles you should have a better chance of fighting off viruses.

And maybe after a good workout, your body is tired and more easily susceptible to the virus.
Me, I'd like to see links to the purported ability of exercise and eating well as a defence against the virus. Till then it is all speculation.

possibly..........but not a guarantee and it definitely doesn't protect from long term effects
Not sure why you wouldn't agree that being healthy and having a strong immune system would help you battle a virus. Its pretty basic stuff. No one is saying it's the end all be all but it certainly helps.

still not going to protect you from infection and then passing it on.
Maybe not but it sure will give you a better chance of fighting it off.

Time to retire the "Canucks" name too. Its only a matter of time until somebody complains. Might as well get out of ahead of everything in one fell swoop.
How about "British Columbia They's". Although the British may complain.

You know, you're probably right. Been thinking for a while now that I probably spend too much time on here. I also probably don't add much to the conversation other than snarky replies to things.
The "conversation" with Deb today was probably a good reminder that I need to split.
Enjoyed the friendly conversations I have had from time to time but as REO Speedwagon once said, "it's time for me to fly"
