2021 Stars Regular Season Thread

[mookie1010]

There's no way anyone on this team was quick enough to actually get to the front.

TOP OF THE PAGE DAMMIT.

Reports are it's probably a Covid diagnosis.

[Troy McClure]

Wow. This is a big spread.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Nice. Get it out of the way now.

[BigAl]

Check it out now, the funk soul COVID.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

How often do they test? probably more to come i'm guessing.

[Jason]

Or is it false positives?

[Troy McClure]

It was daily in the bubble. I'd imagine it is now as well. The NFL tests daily.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Oh so maybe not that many more.

I’m gonna assume Benn showed excellent leadership by getting it first.

Does mouth breathing make you more or less likely to get it?

[The Frugal Gourmet]

If my family's experiences tell me anything, though, quite a few people are gonna think they're fine and out of the woods and then get it too in about 3 days.

That's also how the NFL outbreaks have worked. They send everyone home and then have the negative people come back for more testing the next day, and there seems to always be a trickle of a couple of additional positives.

Sigh ....

[Troy McClure]

The league is going to drive itself crazy if their reaction is to try to reschedule every game following an outbreak. This isn't the only time this will happen.

[cdanew]

And if they try to fit all the games in the existing window, that means a lot more back to backs / compressed schedule. Which means more injuries, fatigue, etc.

Sigh ...

This is going to be a bad season for teams with ... Let's say a bunch of forwards over 30.

[B Kat]

That bubble sure was nice.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

The history of teams who have gotten to the Finals and then lost is horrible already.

[ToddM]

The history of teams who have gotten to the Finals and then lost is horrible already.

Probably because of COVID.

Sigh ...

Look at the schedule. Packed in the front half, open in the back half. It's designed for exactly this.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Business in the front half. Party in the back half.

Just like my pants.

[Knives Out]

I can’t wait for the doc about it.

[Knives Out]

So ... an educated guess as to which players potentially affected by COVID are:

Caamano
Dickinson
Dowling
Faksa
Fedun
Gardner
Hanley
Harley
Heiskanen
Honka
Kiviranta
Lindell
Oleksiak
Pysyk
Robertson

Hopefully all are false positives.
Harley doesn't have covid-19, he had to quarantine coming from the World Juniors.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Benn's lack of leadership here is disappointing.

Unless he already got it in the offseason making out with Dobby, in which case well done.
