Another COVID Protocol case has popped up in the NHL, this time in St. Louis. The Blues have announced that forward Brandon Saad will be unavailable on Saturday due to COVID Protocol. Saad, as well as the entire Blues roster, is vaccinated. With Saad sidelined and Pavel Buchnevich suspended, the Blues will be without their two major off-season additions for their home opener against the L.A. Kings.
The Blues have not revealed the cause of Saad’s entry into the COVID Protocol. However, the fact that he has already been ruled out of a game that is 48 hours away would imply that he has tested positive. This is the third positive test among a prominent player today alone, as Winnipeg’s Mark Scheifele and Pittsburgh’s Jeff Carter have also been sidelined by COVID. It’s a sobering reminder that the pandemic is still a factor in the NHL this season.
As for Saad, the Blue’s newest addition is off to a hot start with a goal and an assist in his first three games. The talented forward has averaged 24 goals per 82 games over his career and was expected to help make up for the loss of Jaden Schwartz this summer. For the time being though, St. Louis will have to make do without him.
Weird. All but 5 players took their clot shot.
I’m not saying anything (don’t need to). :)
Except I never cheered for anyone to get sick, so you’re a liar and a fool. Clown.
You can deny it if you’d like, but all one has to do is read that comment. Seek help, my friend.
Post the comment, bud. You’re a liar and yes, I flagged your post for lying. In fact, I’m going to follow your every post by reminding everyone that you’re a liar until you publicly retract your lie.
You wanna play dirty, we’ll play dirty.
Yeah, I’m not wasting my time tracking down your hateful comments from other posts.
But stalking and flagging mine, must be a sad existence.
Playing dirty lmao. Get a life brother.
Yet you came on a public forum and accused someone of saying something they never said and now can’t back up your lie. You’re a pathetic coward hiding behind a keyboard.
Except you did say it.
You are way too mad about this. Take a break. Go outside, get some fresh air.
Imagine the mess in the comments if be it Bertuzzi
So the shots don’t work… going to see everyone end up getting this thing. Let’s hope it’s not an issues come playoff time.
Why testing? If you’re not sick, you’re not sick. Only ghouls believe otherwise.
Solid reminder that shots only reduce symptoms and prevent deaths. It doesn’t remove the possibility of illness. Nonetheless, I am intrigued to see when sports leagues start treating COVID like the Reg flu with all of their high vaccination rates. No symptoms, return to play?
Doesn’t prevent death.
Natural immunity reduces viral spread and death. But using PCR tests at a cycle count over 30 and even 40 will produce a never ending string of positive results.
Doesn’t reduce symptoms.
Colin Powell and Hank Aaron agree.
The most heavily fined corporation in the history of the country, ahem, Pfizer, agrees too.
They actually just produced on Weds a new study that proves the need for boosters – that robust study had guess how many participants? Go ahead. Guess. Several tens of thousands? A few thousand?
The real answer is 23. A group of 11 and 12. Stats 101 always says you need a population of over 30 for any meaningful conclusions, but not with this mystical panic.
“If gravity is real, how come I can jump? Answer that, Smart Guy. THEY just want to condition you to being held down!”
A man stood in the middle of the town square holding a tiger stick. A passerby asked “why are you standing in the middle of the street holding a tiger stick?”. To which the man replied “why, to keep the tigers away!”. “But there are no tigers around here the passerby exclaimed”, to which the man with the tiger stick replied “see, it’s working!”.
Says the people who jumped all over hydroxycloroquine, UV lights, (ahem) bleach, zinc, horse dewormer and any other snake oil they can find to justify their politically based opposition to the one thing science has proven to work for hundreds of years, vaccines.
“Sheep dewormers cure viruses, the doctors won’t tell you that because they are all lying, not because we are wrong!!!!!”
@forwhomjoshbelltolled dude, theres a cure to CNN overdose: turn off tv, quit reddit and youtube. You’ll get well, i promise
“YoU nEeD bEtTeR SoUrCeS oF iNfO!!!” – People who ignore every credible source of info on Earth to believe conspiracies they read on a roofer’s Facebook page instead.
True but whos gonna decide whats credible and whats not? You? If so we are fu****
Josh, you reveal yourself to be more of a foolish shill with each post of yours. You repeat the bleach lie (was never said), you ridicule doctor prescribed drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxicloroquine that have long histories of being successful medical treatments and seem to be completely ignorant of the issues related to vaccines.
Stick to hurling insults at Ron Hextall.
Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
It’s too bad people are more worried about pushing their own agenda than to show a little compassion. Good on you
