Red Wings Place Tyler Bertuzzi In COVID Protocol

December 1, 2021 at 6:04 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 31 Comments

The Red Wings will be without one of their top forwards for tonight’s contest against the Kraken as the team announced (Twitter link) that winger Tyler Bertuzzi has been placed in COVID protocol.

Bertuzzi is now the only remaining NHL player to decline the COVID vaccination which has prevented him from crossing the border to play road games in Canada this season.  Despite that, he’s off to the best start of his career with nine goals and nine assists in 20 games, good for third on Detroit in scoring.  That will obviously be put on hold again with him being added to the list of those in the protocol.

As is always important to note when a team places a player into protocol, it doesn’t mean that it’s a confirmed positive test.  However, if it does turn out that he has tested positive, then Bertuzzi will be out for at least ten days.  Detroit, who is carrying a full 23-player roster, would be eligible to designate him as non-roster status, allowing them to bring someone up from AHL Grand Rapids to take Bertuzzi’s place.  With this announcement coming just before puck drop, that won’t be an option tonight but since they’re off until Saturday after this one, they’ll be able to add someone in time for their next game.

      My body my choice unless it pertains to abortion. Then its my body but the state government’s choice. Everyone is vaccinated for like 10 things but here’s where the nut jobs decide to make their stand.

      My body my choice is a favorite degenerate slogan. You are mixing it up a bit my sir and why are you so concerned with other persons choice (which you call a stance)?

      ^ because that person has a greater chance of getting me sick (tho I probably won’t go to the ICU like them), or taking up a hospital bed that me or my family might need for something not COVID related.

      So your vaccine won’t protect you from the virus? Some vaccine. Maybe after your 4th booster you’ll have full protection.

      This idiot will not get paid for the time that he is on the Covid list as per agreement with the NHL PA. Also this idiot doesn’t get paid when the Red Wings go to Canada every day the Red Wings are in Canada he does not get paid as per our agreement with the NHL PA

      Half the league has been to covid protocols since the start of the season but no its always the one unvaccinated player whos drawing the criticisms. These lib sheep are so predictable. Everything to force the needed narrative. Useful idiot

      Seriously, after reading the daily reports here at PHR of all the fully vaccinated players testing positive and then to comment on the one player who hasn’t been jabbed as you did is a new level of stupidity and ignorance.

      Each side of the Covid argument will use this as a rallying cry for some reason or another. Anti vax will say look media is blowing up he’ll be fine and the pro vax will say oh shoulda gotten the jab. There shouldn’t be sides to this just live your life to the best of your ability while trying not to be a dingus to others Is my philosophy in life at least

      If you dont want any sides then dont watch tv and dont take advices from politicians because its media coverage thats scaring the crap outta ppl and causing the division. For reference its not only NA that has covid issues yet only in “progressive” societies its deemed fine to harass the voluntarily unvaccinated people.

    Regardless of his vaccination status, I just hope that he doesn’t have any serious symptoms and he gets healthy quick. Was that so hard? All you guys in the comment section act like such children. I’m vaccinated but that doesn’t automatically mean I need to hate people who aren’t. I may not agree with your choice but I’ll defend your right to make it. At the end of the day he’s a human being (and a good one) and I hope nothing serious comes of this for him.
