VegasCanuck Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 This is getting nuts. Teams are almost going to need another training camp and exhibition games before they are ready to play again. Crazy to think that we now need to go to Florida, and open a hard trip, cold against one of the best teams in the league and then play Tampa 2 nights later and Carolina 2 nights after that. Seems fair, doesn't it. Players aren't happy about it! https://www.tsn.ca/NHL/video/boudreau-on-latest-postponed-game-were-not-happy-with-it~2355634 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not going to play well going into one of the harder stretches this season, cold. It isn’t fair for the team. They were hot, and then all of this &^@#ing starts happening.

Why did they wait all week before postponing, if they weren’t going to be at full capacity, with the omicron variant going wild these days. If the team had announced this, mid week (like Wed), it would’ve still disappointed people, but at least there is some space to deal with that (given 2-3 days for people to deal with it). But a day before? Quite sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say, but I don't expect games to be played nowadays until they're on the ice and the puck is ready to be dropped I've seen too many postponements now not to be skeptical Edited January 7, 2022 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashville isn't the cream of the crop. The Canucks have their number still and will for the remainder of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't, but Washington, Florida, Tampa, and Carolina are all perched at the top of the standings for good reason Even Nashville is currently 8th overall It's crazy how Carolina's 5th despite only playing 31 games Edited January 7, 2022 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could, but unlikely, four of the next five teams we play sit top 5 in the league and while I'm a Canuck fan I'm not a Canuck homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now? With all of this. I can’t see the team doing very well, especially if we’re entering into that five game road trip, ice cold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
