Harbingers

And it’s official. The league said they will follow up about us tomorrow. I’m guessing we either are back to playing Sunday or Tuesday but who the fug knows at this point.

Rhule when the tape comes out.

All the blues fans are like WTF! You made us play with 15 players! But I think the league is probably expecting more positive tests from us at this point. That would be the determining factor there in my opinion. Nearly half the league has someone on the list right now. They should really just shut the league down until after Christmas.

Oof. 4? Really? Ouch. I’m guessing we are probably done until next Monday.

If the league pushes this game through tonight cause it’s a national broadcast it will be a huge black eye for a league that has been so cautious. Also the canes are working with the Canadian and American governments to do a medical emergency flight for Aho, Jarvis and the trainer.

The Canucks are going into the protocol in droves. Fugging thanks Calgary. The league may have to do an all stop on the Canadian side of things if this keeps up.

I doubt we play tonight. If it’s even 1-2 more the league would be crazy to put us on the ice.

He was hurt in Vancouver(or was it Edmonton?) but I figured since he’s young and it didn’t appear to be that bad he’d play through it. If he can’t go tonight things will be rough.

I mean he put the ball into the RB’s chest, in only a way someone the size of cam could. He’s the least at fault on this play. Had that been CMC he would have had the awareness to know what was going on. I agree with Ricky despite that huge hole Hubbard was not the main play there and thus was not expecting the handoff.

Ya, that is just absurd. Rhule is looking for any excuse to can Cam and get his guy in at QB. It was clear as day Cam got stepped on at that moment but Rhule seemed to either not notice or simply want to ignore that fact.

Fully agree, I think it was a fake hand off roll out with Cam option. Had that been CMC that wouldn’t have been an issue.

Ya why isn’t short term IR covering the cap hits for COVID so teams can field a full company. That’s ridiculous.

We don’t even have a power running back because they let Davis go to Atlanta.

The fact Rhule is defaulting to a finite issue tells you everything you need to know.

I have not seen anything from the N&O’s beat writers on Twitter since the announcement last night. 10 days is good news for the boys(to get back to Raleigh and spend time with the fams) but not the team as they will be out through Christmas either way. Luckily in a 10 day scenario we will have them back for Florida in Raleigh, which is a must win. If not we are looking at Montreal or even Columbus.

No word if the canes are doing a morning skate either. And this season at least I feel like we match up way better when we do a morning skate. But this whole covid test thing has completely fugged us and you know the NHL doesn’t want to cancel one of their premiere games.

Ya that’s my thinking rest Cole, put TDA as 7(O switch) and let Chatfield cover the right 3 with Smith. Rotate TDA, Bear and Chatfield basically with Slavin and Smith and put a heavy work load on D 2. But the sustainability of that is gonna be the kicker.

My thought on this can Chatfield play as a lefty?

Did Marty even travel? I have a feeling he probably won’t see him until January from what Rod said. I’m guessing we dress 7D again. Perhaps Marty’s timetable is better than was led to believe though cause if it’s Canadian rules we may not see Aho and Jarvis until the 28th. If they just have to pass two negative tests then hopefully before Christmas but I doubt it.

I really wonder if we are going to even play tomorrow if the canes are still in Vancouver.

Oh fug me. Aho & Jarvis, plus some training staff have entered the protocol and are stuck in Vancouver.

Ya if Aho gets stuck in Canada it’s gonna suck.

He’s not counting this year. But we are going to have to buy him our sooner or later.

I’m not sure if he has an exemption that allows him to skip waivers when sent down to the AHL or not. I think he has three more games until he has to pass waivers when getting sent down but I’m not positive.

No way. They got nothing on South Korea. Those guys literally work, go drink with coworkers until it’s time to sleep an hour and then go back to work.
