Don't think it matters as you are going to see multiple vaxxed players in CV protocol all season long. GMA had the dude on this morning that got the new strain while at comic con in NYC. He was vaxxed and boosted and still got it. Granted Bert has the dbl hit being in protocol AND missing the games in CA a little different. Plus his non CA is a planned absence and they know already he is out vs him getting hurt and have to work around on the fly. Playoffs should we make might be a totally different story

Some early Dec hype....why you say? cause why not I say...

Violent Russian wearing #16 ...hmmmmm I seem to remember another #16 violent Russian

I would love it if more players were like Larkin/Bert/Raymond/Mo be planning potential parade route...H*ll I would be elated if Zadina(close)/Ras(50%) were equal in production to Namestnikov

Took me FOREVER to vote 98 times.....

He also blew his horn ....I will fill their nets with goals or similar bravado. So fanbase thought we got a #3 at 6th and he is confident lad. So I would say he helped pump the tires on potential.

Big Ras perhaps ?

HYPE TIME .. Ignore games played for a moment...who expected us to be here in the division and playing some entertaining hockey If you were to take the GP into account putting everyone @ 14. Assume everyone wins their games in hand for arguments sake...still respectable start... Florida - 23 Boston - 20 Tampa - 19 Toronto - 17 Detroit - 16 Buffalo -16 Ottawa - 11 Montreal - 7

Maybe it was a needed change of scenery to make him get his 'mojo/drive" back. How many times you are dating someone and it becomes a slog neither of you willing to drop it. Finally when you do breakup both parties feel FREE!! Wings and Svech dated for a long time and both needed to break up. Finally Stevie said it's not you it's me and now Svech is showing off his new girl....Granted we spent a lot of money on dates and gifts but oh well....

So Raymond needs more ice time to shift the graphs...448 with Raymond 168 without...

Per this article....https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2021/11/06/dylan-larkin-out-personal-reasons-detroit-red-wings/6316857001/ COVID-19 can be ruled out, because the NHL reports if team personnel is in pandemic protocol. Likewise, the NHL Players Association typically reports if a player has entered one of its support programs — for example, the PA announced Oct. 7 that Canadiens goaltender Carey Price had taken a leave of absence to deal with unspecified mental health issues... So is it the neck and he might be done ?

If it was the Da Vid league would have said he was in protocol... If it was an injury ..be no biggie unless his neck is jacked beyond playing again..and they are trying to figure out a path forward. OR because this is a RUMORS thread... Alcohol issues? Drug issues? Boy/Girl friend issues? Family issues? Jealous over Bert's constant mentioning due to the non-vax status and wanted some press? Has decided Hockey is too dangerous due to his recent conversion to Buddhism

This !! This dude was allowed to roam free and do his thing elsewhere.

Another article on the Bowman mess... https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2021/10/26/22746928/blackhawks-fire-stan-bowman-al-macisaac-bradley-aldrich-sexual-assault-investigation-results out of this article.. McDonough and Blunk have already left the Hawks, but Cheveldayoff is now the Winnipeg Jets’ GM and Quenneville the Florida Panthers’ coach. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement he will meet with Cheveldayoff and Quenneville to discuss their futures in those roles.

More importantly we as Americans should have been P*SSED at our 2 choices offered by the 2 parties. It was like a South Park episode a choice between a "Giant D*uche" or a "S*it sandwich" I am sick of the choices offered. Where is a Kennedy or a Reagan from either party? Hell I would be okay with another "I did not have sex with that woman" president. Both sides are so far to the edges there is no coming to the middle on anything.

I am WELL aware of your transgressions. Your online activities entertain the boys and I down at headquarters which is why you get away with "things" others don't

Let's look on the bright side Larkin didn't break his hand when he smacked Joseph. He stood up for himself granted he layed there for a sec which makes me wonder if he was doing a quick inventory that all things felt right. Then he got pissed cause it was the first game back for him. Dach was folded up like laundry at the dry cleaners on this video. https://www.nhl.com/video/landeskog-suspended-for-boarding/t-277440360/c-9151155

yeah I checked both of the feeds and both were Bolts. I just figured they think I am in Atlanta therefore I am a Bolts fan?

Lil Bert = Love that boy....looks like he just came down from the West VA mountains.... Result = massive SUCKAGE especially having to listen to Bolts announcers Entertainment Level = MASSIVE Hope for rest of year = OVERWHELMING if they are this entertaining each game( ya I know probably not but then again Bert is on pace for like what 288 goals)

At what time does the roster have to be finalized today ? Never mind found it so looking to see what happens by 5...

Blashill can see a roster configuration where both forwards Bobby Ryan (in camp on a professional tryout) and rookie Lucas Raymond make the roster. It's been presumed keeping both players would be difficult, but with injuries and the impressive play of Ryan and Raymond, the Wings might pull it off. "If we feel both will help our hockey team, make us a way better hockey team, we'll keep them," Blashill said. "We're not going to release or not keep somebody who is going to make us way better."

no Lil Bert....still..hmmmm back or jab issue?
