Were they partying at the Roxy?

These kinds of posts are completely offside and disrespectful. These lame jokes need to stop please!

Our team increase their risk of exposure every single time they step on the ice to entertain us, and this is how we show our concern when they’re down!?!  
 

Wishing a speedy recovery to our troopers!

So it wasn’t the Roxy?

See i don't mind dark humour, but the original joke just wasn't that good.  

 

Season isn't getting cancelled.  It's no different then any of us here.  If you get Covid, you go home for two weeks and then go back to work.  

 

Btw I'd like to know if that piece of news is for sure by Farhan Lalji, the one about players getting IVs.  Hope they all feel better soon, but if that's some over-dramatized reporting by Farhan I'll be very disappointed. He references Darren Dreger in his tweet (who hasn't tweeted anything about it) and then says "may have gone to homes of players to administer IVs"

That is scary. Get well soon to all the players.

Also, if they need IV and that kinda treatment, I do not believe we will see them back this season with so few games left.

RIP season. Stay safe you all!

 

I might have to follow another team this season. Anyone recommend one? I generally only have time to follow the Canucks.

 

Takin iv is not very serious.. pretty normal just to ge re hidrated.. 

 

AVS are a very fun team to watch...

it came across as overdramatized and so did Ian's fear porn piece.

In all fairness Lalji references - and quotes - Dregers tweet and his own interpretation "some Canucks players have become very ill". Then he goes on to say "I'm also being told ...." re the IV home visits.  He doesn't say Dreger is the source for that statement. 

 

As to "Overdramatization", all that I have read suggests that the Brazil strain is more seriously debilitating, more easily transmissible, and for some groups, more lethal.

This virus attacks the respiratory system!

The respiratory system is the fuel that lets these elite athletes play at the high level they need to play.

It is indeed possible that this possible long term lung damage could very well affect or even end the careers of our elite athletes.

I don't even want to think about the worst case scenario

 

Joking about it is certainly bad form!

More easily transmittable : The unchecked spread of the more contagious coronavirus variants in Brazil"

 

More debilitating: "60% of all ICU patients in São Paulo, Brazil are now between the ages of 30-50 years old, reports @MattRiversCNN."

 

More lethal: I agree, the embedded video doesn't offer proof, just speculation that it may be the cause of a greater number of deaths among younger people, with some experts saying the flouting of common sense safety measures by the young may be the cause.

Just an opinion. Getting sick to the point that you need and IV is fairly serious. It takes time to get your body back to a professional hockey players standard. We shall see what happens.

Having the privilege of getting at home IV service is incredible imo... I know lots of people that have caught it recently, or even myself last year... And boy wish I had the privilege of having IV delivered to lessen my symptoms... 

 

Anyone fighting any flu or virus could benefit from IV. These guys are rich millionaire athletes. You don't need to sound alarm bells if they getting IV. 

 

it probably just means they r taking ever precaution to prevent it escalating. 

 

Really nice luxury to have when you get paid millions and aquaman is ready to flex all his cash to keep u healthy... 

 

As for our boys... Not worried. They have top quality care and they are healthy. 

 

What I'm worried about is our homeless population and our vulnerable who haven't got vaccines. I know this is the Canucks forum, but that demographic is 1000x more important than our glorious boys. 

 

Would be nice if this made Canucks nation open their eyes and everyone be safe. 

 

Give help to others when u can... Mental health help, food bank donations, etc. This is a rough time but together we stand stronger.

Will have to quarantine if we decide to bring them up from Utica. Don't know exactly what's going on there in the first place, so don't know who has been affected, but they've been down for quite some time now. There may be benefit for us to get some players some game time, but may not be of best interest of the league for them to decide that it's worth the risk of playing meaningless games that could affect the playoff teams.

Looks like the reinforcements could already be on their way.

It's serious but not so much that you can't recover and play the next day or week. I've done it several times.

[bree2]

this is getting out of control. thinking covid is a joke and especially the variant! it is hitting the younger crowd hard. my sister is still in hospital, she is doing better but they won't let her out due to lung problems. i was in hospital last week where the thought i had covid, i t was awful,  they quarantine you and the doctors do not come into your room and nurses only if they have to.  it was very scary. turns out i was negative, i have a severe case of copd where i had to come home with oxygen. so people please do not joke about this. our team is sick , we need to stand behind them and wish them well!!!

You got covid that was bad enough to need IV and played professional hockey the next day or week? Good for you.

No. I've had IV's for dehydration and played pro sports the next day. No viruses at all. I thought we were talking about IV's?

Sorry if you misunderstood what I meant. I wasn't relating it to Covid it at all. Obviously that's a whole new angle but I don't think the IV itself will limit the player.

COVID's kind of a different deal as it's an unknown.  I feel that downplaying this is a bit premature.  Dehydration's not quite the same.

It's been 14 months for me and no way could I play a period, let alone a game.  Obviously I'm not a professional athlete in peak condition, but I was in very good shape pre-covid.
