Except every team is not facing a COVID outbreak. There should be dates available in each arena in a two-week time frame.

There's going to be overlap between teams who have been shutdown and teams who haven't been but had games cancelled because their opponent was shut down.  Some teams might have no games re-scheduled and get over 2 weeks off while they keep the others around to catch up?

Teams that aren’t dealing with an outbreak will have the break then, teams that are dealing with an outbreak now will have that break now. The timing is different, but it’s still fair in terms of time off in the bigger picture. But what I could see complicating things is if the NHL is still dealing with the outbreak in a month or two from now. Maybe the end decision could result in the season being shut down.

To get away from the disappointment of Covid protocols and cancelled games, here is an article I came across on SNET about Connor Garland. It's a bit of a long read, so I'm only posting the link.

I agree with Stevie Y.  Unless you actually have symptoms these players should not be tested.  Also, none of these players have actually gotten sick.  A fever and a mild cold isn't getting sick.  

 

Omicron is going to run through the entire population and will eventually end the pandemic.  Looking forward to that happening in the next 2 to 3 months.

I think the Canucks should have their games postponed until December 31st. Start fresh in the new year and play these games during the Olympic break.

Has it been confirmed that the nhl players aren't going to Beijing?

The NHL reintroduced stricter COVID-19 protocols Saturday that include daily testing and other steps in a bid to limit a growing outbreak among players and team personnel.

The enhanced protocols will be put into effect immediately and last through Jan. 1 with an evaluation of their impact no later than Jan. 7. The move follows discussions between the NHL and NHL Players' Association as virus conditions worsen across North America.

Three teams -- Calgary, Colorado and Florida -- are virtually shut down through next week because of virus cases. About 70 players -- 10% of the 700 leaguewide -- are in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols, and the number of games postponed this season has climbed to 20.

 

Several Canadian provinces are or will soon limit attendance at large events like NHL games to 50% of capacity.

Besides the daily testing for players and coaches, "additional pre-game testing may be implemented, on a case-by-case basis, when a COVID outbreak occurs within a team," the league said.

 

The NHL said the omicron variant is responsible for the uptick in cases.

"Given the increased number of positive cases in our league within the last two weeks, and changing societal realities with the new omicron COVID-19 variant, the NHLPA and NHL have collectively agreed that all Clubs shall be required to follow enhanced preventative and detection measures," the league said.

 

Moments after the announcement, the Detroit Red Wings placed three players, coach Jeff Blashill and assistant coach Alex Tanguay in the protocols ahead of Saturday night's home game against the New Jersey Devils. The Red Wings have the only player in the league, Tyler Bertuzzi, who is not vaccinated.

While postponed games might be rescheduled, all eyes on are the calendar. The NHL plans to allow its players to participate in the Winter Olympics in China in February -- unless COVID-19 disruptions prove to be too much.

The NHL has until Jan. 10 to opt out of the Winter Games without financial penalty but retains the right to cancel its plans up until players are scheduled to travel to Beijing.

This is players, does not include staff members.

 

 

 

I thought Tyler Motte was in protocol as well

[karvalegov]

On the bright side BB6-0 gets to work his magic with more practice time.

I just did some pre-scouting. #21 makes a lot of money so he’s probably a good player. Might want to tightly check him.

You can only hope to contain him.

Rogers is open on New Years Eve after Bryan Adams cancelled his show.

I know it's a pipe dream but the Leafs vs Canucks would be so awesome on New Years at 4 then Canada vs USA at 7.

Nashville missing also Cousins.  NJD have several players in protocol including Hischier, Subban and their team is not listed. 

[DeNiro]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but with the two games being cancelled the Canucks officially won the week with a 2-0 record!

Yep, you're right.  Wasn't an accurate list it seems.  Have edited/used a different list.

What did everyone think of juulsen? I though he made some nice plays, especially with the puck on his stick. Got walked a couple of times too, maybe need s a few more.games to get used to NHL speed. I think I have schenn above him still? How would you rank the rightys?

I liked some of his passes, but he also gave the puck away a couple of times.  I started off thinking he was going to have a rough game but he settled in quite nicely.
