DevilMinder Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Going to be more than one game if it really spread through the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) So Mac gave it to Zajac, Zajac gave it to Palms, Palms gave it to Johnsson, Kuokkanen, McLeod and Zacha... Clearly it was done to get Dell, Vats and Nico back before playing Pitt. Well played, Fitz, well played. Some masterful roster management!

Devilsfan118 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I mean, doesn't that make most of Buffalo's active roster exposed, having played against multiple sick players yesterday? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I don’t get. Technically all of our players, all of their players, and the officials have all been exposed. What good does it do to cancel our game and let them go infect everyone? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get how Buffalo can play tomorrow either, not sure why the league would risk them playing the Islanders and infecting them as well but certainly seems like they will only be reactive and not proactive with this stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This sucks. Hope all the players and everyone is OK, but I imagine this probably hinders the team a bit, maybe even a ton. Guys just starting to get some chemistry together, and young guys just getting NHL experience in general, and now they have to sit out a week+. I assume they're not allowed to practice/train?

pumpkin cutter Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Gosh darn it. Knew this was a possibility, but was hoping we’d dodge it. Speedy recovery boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 All the guys and their families being ok is all that matters at this stage. It was inevitable this was going to happen. Interesting that the Northern Division is now the only one not to have had to miss any games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Blah, Devils hockey just came back. What poopy circumstances for eveyone, especially them of course. I'm going to be having an awful week of work because of month end and NJD hockey was going to keep me going 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Okay this sucks but here's the silver lining This means we're postponing games... which means Nico won't miss as many games as he would have without this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another reminder of just how far away we remain from “old normal”. But yeah, as much as I was enjoying this start (and feeling passionate about watching Devils hockey), that takes a distant backseat to the health of the players. Just hope they can all get through this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
