Sens played against them on March 15th and 17th. Then Canucks played against the Habs on March 19-20, then Winnipeg 22-24.
Montreal went on Covid protocol right after those Vancouver games. Can't ignore the fact that they might be linked and Vancouver players got it from Montreal players. Hopefully Winnipeg players are ok and Vancouver players were not contageous yet.
From Darren Dreger:
As expected additional positive cases have been determined with the Vancouver Canucks. It’s also believed a variant has been identified in some of the cases.
The latest round of positive test results was received this evening. (Friday)
Said 2 weeks minimum but now with more than 8 players who knows when Canucks ever play again.
Not very good news out of Vancouver. 8 players plus one staff so far in Covid protocol
It’s going to be 2 weeks minimum until the Canucks can play again - I’m betting no way they play every make up game since they are just about finished as far as playoffs. Hopefully all those players and families get out of this healthy. Lots of Vaccines really need to be sent to Canada like yesterday...
Have you guys seen all the stuff going down right now about Tim Peel? I mean, I'm not surprised about it at all, he's always been sh**, especially against us, but... dang.
Questionable call against Nashville early in the game.
"It wasn't much but I wanted to get a f***in' penalty against Nashville early in the..."
Refs were Tim Peel and Kelly Sutherland, unclear who said it. Any bets?
This qualifies as a Refs Suck right?
No one EVER deserved to be fired more than peel. Sadly, it happened years too late.
Wow, they really went ahead and fired him.
Considering the league suspended him for a game back in 2015 for admitting in an interview that the NHL puts pressure on the refs to manage the game by forcing calls, I hope he goes full scorched earth and exposes them for their "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" hypocrisy.
From an article "Peel, who refereed his first NHL contest in 1999, was set to retire at the end of the season with his last game scheduled for April 24."
So he was done in a month anyway. At least they won't have a final game congrats, thanks yous and all that.

“Eichel has two goals in 17 games. Hall has gone 18 games without a goal. Jeff Skinner has no goals and one assist in 16 games. Cody Eakin has one assist and an empty-net goal. Kyle Okposo, has one assist in 14 games.” -@BuffaloVogl
Buffalo has already tanked and got their #1 and #2 overall draft picks and they are literally quitting on their coach and season. They look really terrible. Cautionary tale about rebuilding it doesn’t have to bring unparalleled success. Skinner is making 9M a season for like 7-8 more years and he’s a healthy scratch every night. Karlsson in SJ has to be the only worse contract in the league
Hall, 0 goals in 18 games? That is the coach killing tank job of all time.

Spezza with the old-school fake slap shot goal tonight. Goalies are still falling for it.
Amazing play really by Spezza. Then Brian Elliott pitches a shutout yesterday - he‘s been gone forever and still playing well. Well, it was vs Buffalo so not sure if it’s all that impressive
