coastal.view Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, HKSR said: The coronavirus is not a typical flu virus. Flu virus typically infects the nose, throat, and sometimes progresses to the lungs. Coronavirus goes right after the lungs. Hence why fever and a dry cough are the preliminary symptoms. The fact that the coronavirus goes after the lungs is what makes it more scary, and why the death rates are probably around 1% whereas the influenza is about 0.1%. That's a BIG difference. 12 minutes ago, HKSR said: No. The coronavirus is not part of the flu family.

_Henrik_ Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Cough in your arms if you have to, and keep about 1 meters distance when in public. Common sense. It sure is serious, but it ain’t the plague. (Famous last words...) i think the economical aftermath will bring the real $&!# though. Gordon is sharpening his knives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he signs with us, then it`s all good. But if he walks, well, the Canucks wasted some valuable assets. Toffoli has had success here since he arrived, and it looks like he really likes to play with Pettersson. That saucer pass from Pettersson to Toffoli for the goal last game was a beauty. Maybe he sees the Canucks as an up and coming team with some serious skill and wants to be a part of that? Hope so. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 So much for the deadline acquisition we made to get us into the playoffs. Maybe the League does us and whoever made a rental deal a favour by offering a one contract deal that doesn't count toward the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. LAK signed Turcotte yesterday but his contract starts only next season - he was going to the AHL on a tryout contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just collecting facts and taking a wait and see approach. They'd better not just cancel it. It would throw competitive balance and fairness out the window (e.g. totally unfair to teams that have traded future assets for help now). If they are going to be fair they ought to: 1) restart the regular season when it is safe to do so (even if this means picking up in September or October); 2) complete the playoffs as normal (4 rounds, 7 game series); 3) shorten the 2021-2022 season just like they would if there were a lockout, with full playoffs starting in April of May 2022.

Nave Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) I find the regulation wins system stupid. We have more total wins than Nashville, and a better point differential (more goals for, same goals against)--it should be based on that. But it looks like we are in the playoffs if they're basing it on win percentage. That win against the Islanders may have been even bigger than we thought.

If the season doesn't resume they can't burn a year and might prefer then to just reach free agency. Will Lockwood is in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should put a cap on the regular season, say at 72 games. So teams can compete for a playoff spot for a few more games, and then play the playoffs. Whatever happens, I don't think the playoffs should be cancelled. That would be a waste of a season, and be unfair for teams that have traded for assets. Better just delay the playoffs until later and base who gets in on win percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a small edit to my original post to make it easier for simple minds to understand. The rest of my OP was pretty clear in terms of what I was saying in that the flu virus and coronavirus are not the same type of virus at all. I clarified that in my 2nd post. I like how you seem to talk about precision of language when you don't even use punctuation or grammar, and your paragraph structure is terrible lol.

milk and honey Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Is it a blessing in disguise that the NHL season canceled just as the nucks r out of a playoff spot? It's possible there won't be playoffs to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
