They all have wives/girlfriends/kids they go home to who all are coming in contact with other people in their day to day lives. Even top doctors are saying that almost everyone will get omicron. True, I got it and I spend most of my time working at home. Has been a week since I got infected and still is affecting me. Omicron is like 70 times more contagious than a regular flu and is worst than a flu. I have had night sweats, back ache, muscle ache in legs shoulder ache, severe sore throat, headache, nausea, bad cough, runny nose, green phlegm, severe fatigue, no sense of taste and no sense of smell, covid tongue that sometimes burns when I eat food, etc. etc. I really dont want to ever go through that again. And some people just call it a case of sniffles lol. First time I experienced something as bad as this and am pretty healthy and workout too. Btw am not even 40 years old yet so younger people can also be badly affected by this. Edited January 20, 2022 by DefCon1 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I mean those masks and the way they wear it will not stop it from spreading. Seems like symbolic to wear mask and have your nose out of it lol. At this point, people would really need to wear N95 masks to protect themselves from this omicron virus since most people are either not wearing masks properly or they arent wearing it or wearing cloth masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the ones affected was all our D except Hughes, plus Motte, Horvat, Garland, Boeser, Pettersson, now Miller and Demko and Halak. Has Podkolzin been affected yet? I think after these series of infection most of our team will have enough antibodies to finish the season and not be affected except Hughes. Its best to just get it now and get it over with. I think this team can easily make the playoffs, we are what? 5 points out with games in hand against the Cali teams. The only threat might be Calgary and Vegas was always the divisional winner. So the third spot is open for anyone to take and I take Canucks over Cali teams and Oilers easily. In order to get a play offs berth, we have to win games.. (I know, of course we do, but we have to win a lot). Pending on how many games we play without Bo, Demko, Miller, Garland and Halak, my opinion is we have to be extremely lucky not to be further behind once these players come back... On top of this, players normally take a few games to get back up to speed, so I fear it will be too much of a task to cash up... Of course anything is possible mathematically, but I struggle to see us doing much with out our two top C men and Garland + our two main Goalies... Does it mean I don't hope we get to the play offs? No on the contrary... I think. I've made it abundantly clear, I'd take play off at every opportunity, regardless of what happens next, as its the reason i watch. However I just don't think its realistic... I will be more than happy should they go on another run and make it... (I think, OEL, Myers, Burroughs still haven't had Covid but not sure, so can't say) Edited January 20, 2022 by spook007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat and Garland will be available soon, same with Halak. I think Demko will be out 5 days if he ia asymptomatic. They arent out for the season. They might miss 2 to 3 games and comeback. Also we play in the pacific division where only Vegas is a legit contender and in western conference it is easier to make playoffs compared to eastern conference.

If anything Canucks have a good chance of making playoffs just because covid is also affecting other teams too. 5-6 points back and would have to jump Edmonton, calgary, sj and Anaheim to get into a division spot and add jumping Winnipeg as well for a wild card. Not saying it's impossible, but that's a lot of teams to jump 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they postpone this one, we are probably good again for Sunday. Hopefully Halak, Garland, etc, all back for Sunday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well not ever child of a player or partner is vaxxed and I'm some have family with serious health issues living with them. For that reason alone I'd suggest it's imperative that covid positive players not be allowed to play while contagious Once covid is actually the same ad rhe flu then I'd agree to treat it as such. I know I'd refuse to work with someone who knows they are positive and came to work.... I fall into the group of having grandkids to young to vaccinate and until the risk from cov8d is the actual same as the common colder flu I'd be evoking wcb right to refuse unsafe work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienhuggyflow Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 1 hour ago, spook007 said: You're Probably right... But, the real test was really, if they could put together another miracle run, once they got back home... Think this is very unlikely now.... Think we are sellers at D/L...unfortunately... Any division except the pacific I would agree but the Kings, Ducks, flames and Oilers aren't exactly world beaters. All 4 of those teams are in different stages of self correction. I will be absolutely shocked if any of the Cali teams finish ahead of us. I've stuck to my guns since summer saying they will finish 2nd, however if JT ends up traded then I'll throw in the towel. I really hope that doesn't happen tho. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup this isn't the Atlantic division. The pacific is wide open, way to much hockey left draw conclusions. Plus we have a lot of winnable games and a very friendly schedule in Feb and March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 It is an opportunity to see what else we've got. For example, we could try out some meathook wingers, bash a bunch of dickheads, settle some scores, see who can really throw 'em, and really stand in their with the very tough hombres. Scour the minors for meatheads Jim! Plus, guys down the depth chart live for a chance at the bigs and could come in full of moxie, determined to show they belong. JR & Co can see what we would look like without Bo, JT, Demmer, etc without having to trade them first. Not all doom and gloom folks. GO CANUCKS GO! (Play the games; let's get on with it!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) So far: Bo, Miller and Demko are off due to Covid protocol; and I wonder who, gets the minutes ? Time, for someone to step up but it will tough against, a solid Fla - hoping for the Spoilers, to soften them up for tomorrow ? Hope Dipietro gets the node and the team rallies.
