50% is the new rule in British Columbia announced Friday. Canucks are figuring that out now and are expected to communicate their plan in next day or two. Expectation is that all season ticket holders will be unaffected and all one off sales will be cancelled. Any gap between season ticket holders and 50% will go back on sale. But no one is sure yet. Btw, all season so far at games in Canada you have to show your proof of vaccination card (electronic on phone).

And 2020 #4 Raymond in 31 games has just one fewer point (28) than 2020 #1 Lafreniere has in 81 games.

I wouldn’t trade Seider straight up for anyone in the 2019 draft.

If the NHL cares about community spread, then shut the games down or play them without fans or play them with fans but no concession stands. Because 18,000 fans of all ages and sizes in an indoor arena will have way more than impact on spread than do the 75 or so players and staff.. The current NHL system is a farce. NFL acted more sensibly yesterday.

I’m not sure why there would be liability. There are many workplaces open across North America and I’d say very, very few do regular testing of management and employees the way pro sports does. There will be positive Covid tests three years from now, so at some point the NHL needs to decide how long it wants to do it.

Stevie gets it. https://ca.yahoo.com/sports/news/nhl-wings-gm-steve-yzerman-questions-why-league-testing-asymptomatic-players-034443268.html Detroit Red Wings executive vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman openly questioned why the NHL and its respective teams are testing asymptomatic players for COVID-19 amid an outbreak of the Omicron variant. Although several teams across various North American sports leagues are facing a major uptick in positive COVID-19 cases, Yzerman believes that most of the positive cases in the NHL constitute nothing more serious than the common cold.

Big night for the big line. 5-2 Wings after another Bertuzzi goal.

The Devils' 3rd jersey is as boring as their 1990s trap play.

Probably not a Canadian. We need PCR tests again to get back into Canada, killing day trips.

Fight! McLeod vs Hronek.

Hattie for Larkin! Hard to believe it is his career first.

18 assists for Seider on the year.

Greiss lets in very bad goal near end of 1st. 1-1 after 1.

I was wondering why an 8pm start.

5 of today’s 9 scheduled NHL games have been canceled due to Covid, including Leafs at Canucks.

Tremendous

I want the Wings to tie it for the excited little girl sitting behind Blashill.

Sleepy game. Wings have shown some last couple of games trying to tie it, but trail 4-3 with 2 1/2 minutes to go.

Yeah I’m sure wanted Nedeljkovic wanted a better start in his return

Weird goal from bounce off the end glass. 2-1 Carolina.

Quick answer by the Wings to Carolina’s early score. Gagner, 1-1.

9 Canes are out for Covid, but they will play with 16 skaters

Are we sure this game is even going to happen? Still on, for now, as far as I know.

Game-saving stop by Nedeljkovic at the buzzer to preserve the 2-1 victory. Actually, would not have counted anyways.
