Snapshots: Olympics, Blackwell, Crosby

October 22, 2021 at 9:00 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 7 Comments

Each country participating in the upcoming Olympics had to submit their long list of 50 skaters and five goalies by last Friday.  While those lists weren’t made public, Pierre LeBrun of TSN and The Athletic reported in the latest TSN Insider Trading segment that Canada was granted a special exemption to add a sixth goaltender to their list in Canadiens netminder Carey Price who is currently out indefinitely after entering the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program.  The other five goalies are Darcy Kuemper, Carter Hart, Marc-Andre Fleury, Jordan Binnington, and Mackenzie Blackwood.  Canada’s Olympic committee recently announced a vaccination mandate in order to participate which makes Blackwood’s presence on here noteworthy as he is believed to be one of the four NHL players currently not vaccinated.  LeBrun mentions that the Devils’ goalie is working through the process of getting that done which should make him eligible to participate in the tournament in February if selected.

Elsewhere around the hockey world:

  • Kraken center Colin Blackwell has resumed light skating as he works his way back from a lower-body injury that kept him out of training camp, notes Marisa Ingemi of the Seattle Times. He’s hoping to avoid surgery but it appears he’s still a few weeks away from returning.  Blackwell was selected back in expansion after picking up 12 goals and 10 assists in 47 games (all career highs) last season with the Rangers.
  • Penguins center Sidney Crosby returned to practice today after missing the last four team skates, relays NHL.com’s Wes Crosby. He indicated that he has yet to go through any physical or faceoff drills which will need to happen before he can return.  Crosby, who is working his way back from wrist surgery that carried a minimum recovery time of six weeks, has missed just more than that and hasn’t pegged a target date for him to make his season debut.

    “Working through the process of getting that done?” For Chrissake, it’s not brain surgery. You make an appointment. Or you just drop in at the many open locations doing it. You get the shot. They stamp your card. Done.

      Lol I was thinking the same thing. It’s barely even a process.

      @DarkSide830 – How is it complicated to get the Jab, and then show up 8 weeks later to get the second?
      Your post has no logic.
      If someone goes to a McDonald’s drive-through and get a burger, it’ll be harder the second time? If they only have cheeseburgers on the menu that day, schedule for when they have a normal burger. It’ll be fine.
      The logistics are clearly impossible *sigh*

      where is the word “complicated” used in the article. it’s a process. between the getting of the first and second shots you are actively in the process of getting vaccinated.

    With the Olympics in China, and if the pandemic crisis is still causing havoc, and tensions between U S and China heating up , I don’t forsee any Olympic games for a lot of countries who may be optimistic that the Olympics will go on or make a decision not to participate , a lot of issues to deal with beforehand
