https://www.nhl.com/news/carolina-hurricanes-minnesota-wild-game-postponed-due-to-covid-19/c-328987178

The game between the Carolina Hurricanes and Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday has been postponed after four more Hurricanes entered NHL COVID-19 protocol.

Forwards Jordan Staal, Andrei Svechnikov and Steven Lorentz, and defenseman Ian Cole entered protocol on Tuesday, one day after Carolina forwards Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis, and a member of the training staff, did. 

The NHL said it will provide a further update Wednesday. The Hurricanes are scheduled for a home game against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday, when the Wild are scheduled to play the Buffalo Sabres in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Hurricanes' game at the Wild was the ninth postponed this season because of COVID-19 concerns. The NHL announced Monday that the Calgary Flames had three games postponed, at the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday, at the Nashville Predators on Tuesday and at home against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.

The New York Islanders had games Nov. 28 (New York Rangers) and Nov. 30 (Philadelphia Flyers) postponed, and the Ottawa Senators had games Nov. 16 (New Jersey Devils) Nov. 18 (Predators) and Nov. 20 (Rangers) postponed.

The NHL had 55 games postponed last season; all were made up as part of a 56-game schedule.

The league is heading for a holiday screeching halt.

Wouldn't surprise me to see the whole thing shut down until after the holidays. Don't forget how many NHL guys are supposed to play for their Olympic teams as well. How about when those guys start testing positive....

Right now it sounds like they will have to spend 3-5 weeks in a Chinese hospital quarantine unit if they test positive in China, even if they are asymptotic. Basically a month give or take, so if a guy tests positive near the end of the Olympics they still won’t be able to rejoin their team here until basically April.

I highly doubt the NHL’ers are going to want to do that, so it sounds like we might get the scrub league this go round in the olympics. I’ve heard rumors/suggestions of doing a World Cup of Hockey this or next summer to make up for it if the players decide to opt out. 
 

But people are putting the chance very low that the NHLPA actually decides to do the Olympics. Even lower since covid has started to run rampant.

Started with many in Calgary....Canes play the Flames so all our players are in close contact.  We travel to Edmonton and play with exposed players so I expect Edmonton to start seeing some of their players in the protocol.  We then played Vancouver without Aho, but the rest of the Canes now in the protocol played against Vancouver so we should start seeing some Canucks going down to Covid shortly.

Who knew Calgary would be a super spreader event?  The league was smart to postpone their games, but as soon as they announced it I was very concerned about our guys.  I wonder if this is Delta or is it Omicron? 

At any rate this has to have the league at least shut down common opponents of Calgary, Carolina, Edmonton, and Vancouver - just my opinion.  The Bruins, Maple Leafs, and Blue Jackets better be concerned.

My biggest complaint right now is the obvious lack of transparency and forthcoming on the part of the NHL right now. Virtually nothing new this morning following a league-wide conference call last night, while both the NBA and NFL are facing a huge number of players testing positive.

Last season the NHL was on top of the world when it came to protocols and player safety, yet this year it seems they're trying any and everything to get as many games in as possible, perhaps risking a league-wide pandemic in the process.

Pierre thinks we are playing Thursday since we had no more positive tests today. This just after we sent poturalski back to the AHL so either the NHL media is getting it wrong or the NHL hasn’t announced yet. 
 

If we play and can’t bring him back up we are looking at 14 players 7O, 7D. 15 if we bring Poturalski back up. Hopefully the league and PA will change the cap/add taxi squads back. So we can at least field a full roster.

    • The product on the field has been bad and Im sure that has an impact.   That said I have to wonder if the in-person experience isnt losing its luster when pitted against 70"+ screens with DVRs and access to all the games, convenient and clean bathrooms, and comparatively cheap food and beer.
    • Has it ever occurred to you why blood sugar swings are a thing? If so, there are many factors to consider. The obvious ones are dietary, specifically the consumption of carbohydrates and sugar. Surprisingly, dehydration plays a role, as do medication intake, hormonal changes, and stress. That’s right, even emotional and physical triggers release certain hormones that outweigh the insulin hormone. Whatever the cause, when persistent, people risk experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, low energy, blurred vision, and feelings of weakness. One team claims to have developed a formula that stabilizes blood sugar levels while improving metabolic health for those riddled with swings between the highs and lows. In turn, this supplement’s dual-purpose nature can potentially unlock health benefits in different areas. Eager to find out more? Here is a summary of our findings on  What is Liponine™? Liponine™ is an all-natural dietary supplement in tincture format formulated to assist in regulating weight and blood sugar levels. The core of this formula was designed with the implications of an aging pancreas in mind, as well as the continued effects of inflammation and oxidative stress on overall health. Our editorial team was drawn to Liponine™ for two main reasons. First, it leverages three clinically studied blood sugar and weight management ingredients. Second, their strategy doesn’t come across as a temporary fix but as one that might make relevant corrections on a cellular level. To help put these elements together, our editorial team decided we needed to delve deeper into the creators, GDRLabs™ approach. How does Liponine™ work? Liponine™ is a dietary tincture developed to counteract the effects of an aging pancreas. The GDRLabs™ team explained how, in healthy people, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is used as fuel by different bodily components. Cells, tissues, and organs rely on the insulin hormone’s help to absorb and use glucose. The pancreas releases this hormone and regulates and processes sugar floating around in the bloodstream. According to the creators, an aging pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, which causes blood sugar levels to fluctuate. In other words, low insulin levels indicate an excess of sugar in the bloodstream. These bodily components waiting for their fuel supply begin to suffer, namely experiencing weakness, dizziness, or sweatiness, to name a few of the minor side effects. When this condition is left unattended, individuals are putting themselves at risk of obesity, poor heart health and blood circulation, and, worse, amputation or death. If things aren’t bad enough for people with an aging pancreas, sugar addiction is like adding fuel to the burning fire. While it might not exactly be possible to reverse the aging nature of the pancreas, it is possible to tame fluctuations in blood sugar. As per GDRLabs™, Liponine™ comprises key nutrients that have a significant blood-lowering effect and several other secondary outcomes that elevate one’s overall wellness. Now’s probably a good time to dive into the foundation of Liponine™. What ingredients are in Liponine™? Liponine™ contains no more than three main ingredients combined in a 926 mg proprietary blend: Berberine Berberine is a plant-based chemical known for its bitter taste and medicinal properties. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that covered the effects of berberine on blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetic patients reported that the chemical could significantly reduce fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. The former shows glucose levels after around 8 hours of fasting, whereas the latter measures the average blood sugar level over the past three months. The researchers also highlighted that berberine might be safe, as it neither increases the risk of side effects nor hypoglycemia. Another source that explained the different pathways by which berberine might improve blood sugar levels emphasized its ability to increase insulin sensitivity, promote insulin production and the breakdown of glucose, regulate metabolism, widen arteries (as a result of increased nitric oxide production), and slow the rate at which carbohydrates are absorbed in the gut. These results appear to stem from a dose ranging between 600 and 1,500 mg daily. Curcumin Curcumin is a bioactive compound derived from turmeric, a flowering plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. This ingredient is best known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which might be handy in regulating blood sugar levels. Our editorial team stumbled upon a recent systematic review that assessed whether curcumin affects blood sugar levels. Ultimately, the researchers concluded that its anti-diabetic activity is attributed to its ability to suppress oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. Furthermore, it was mentioned that curcumin significantly reduces fasting blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin, and body mass index. Circling back on the notion of “oxidative stress”, this occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. When the former overtakes the latter, several chain chemical reactions occur in the body called oxidation, which mostly has harmful impacts. Normally, the role of the antioxidant is to donate an electron to the unstable free radical to neutralize it; however, with an imbalance favoring the bad, the result is excess oxidation. What does this mean for blood sugar levels? An oxidative environment might increase insulin resistance, impair beta cells (linked to insulin performance) and glucose tolerance, and deteriorate mitochondrial function, all of which contribute to creating a diabetic state. Green Tea Extract Green tea extract is a concentrated form of green tea made from the Camella sinensis plant. As one source underlines, a single serving of the extract (which is small) is said to contain the same amount of active ingredients as an average cup of green tea. Its health benefits stem from its rich source of antioxidants, namely catechins like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This ingredient naturally helps increase the body’s antioxidant capacity, which, as discussed earlier, is essential for neutralizing the effects of free radicals. As a result of this property, individuals can anticipate several benefits. Particularly, research has demonstrated epigallocatechin gallate’s ability to decrease inflammation, blood pressure, and blood fat levels, improve brain function (by protecting brain cells from oxidative stress), induce weight loss results (by regulating hormones that increase thermogenesis), promote healthy liver function, and lead to overall improvements in the skin. Regarding blood sugar, the same source found studies that confirmed EGCG’s role in increasing insulin sensitivity and regulating blood sugar production, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. Again, this might be a dose-dependent outcome requiring 1,500 mg. Other ingredients that support the main ingredients include black pepper extract and D-limonene. The former has been included to increase the body’s ability to absorb curcumin, whereas the latter further heightens the formula’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. For those who are curious about the chemistry or how specific concentrations and solvents are used, here is a quick summary: Berberine HCL – 3L (30 kg: 43.5 L) in 10% Ethanol Turmeric Root Extract (95% Curcuminoids) – 5.5L (25 kg: 47.5L) in 10% Ethanol Green Tea 50% Caffeine Extract Powder – 0.5L (1 kg: 3L) in 10% Ethanol Black Pepper Extract Powder – 18L (1 kg: 18L) in 100% Ethanol Take the example of Berberine. The above breakdown suggests that 30 liters (in volume) of berberine were used to prepare the batch. The ratio in the brackets likely indicates that 30 liters return 43.5 liters of solution. Finally, ethanol appears to be the solvent used to dissolve the ingredient. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. What makes Liponine™ superior to other blood sugar formulas? A. Liponine™ is superior to other blood sugar formulas for several reasons. At the top of the list is their patented DualPolar™ extraction process. Specifically, the berberine found in this formula was mixed into a precise blend of extract solvents – acting like magnets – that separate active compounds from their plant matters. The result is a full-spectrum extraction of all 64 indole alkaloids normally found within berberine, ensuring that people are getting 100% for what they are paying. The GDRLabs™ team added liquid piperine to this mix, which increases berberine’s bioavailability by 3,000%. Other features that give this tincture a competitive edge include manufacturing processes in America (under strict and sterile conditions), third-party lab testing (for maximum potency and safety), and being plant-based and cruelty-free. Q. Is Liponine™ safe? A. Based on the list of ingredients and their associated concentrations per serving, Liponine™ appears to be a safe tincture to take. As with any dietary supplement (regardless of format), it is imperative to dig further into matters and/or have a full-on discussion with a healthcare provider before getting started. This is especially important for those who are pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription medications. Q. Are there other ingredients in Liponine™ that I should be aware of? A. Yes, other ingredients likely added to create the tincture’s base and flavor profile include olive oil, ethyl alcohol, and strawberry flavoring. Q. How do I take Liponine™? A. The recommended serving size is 1 ml (or a single dropper) of Liponine™. To get started, individuals are asked to shake the bottle well. Then, it is a matter of taking one serving orally and waiting 30 seconds before swallowing it. This process should be repeated every day. Q. What types of results can I expect from Liponine™? A. Liponine™ is believed to induce weight loss results, increase digestion, and promote healthy glucose levels. Q. How long will it take to see a difference with Liponine™? A. According to the GDRLabs™ team, Liponine™ has been subjected to several test groups. Participants have generally reported some change within the first day (normally in terms of energy); however, to experience a noticeable change, this supplement must be taken for at least 30 days. Consistency is key, as the compounding effect over time will reward users. Q. Does Liponine™ have any side effects? A. No side effects have allegedly been reported during their years of clinical testing, but as always, each person is unique and should, therefore, look further into the formula beforehand. Q. What is the difference between Liponine™ regular and clinical strengths? A. The difference rests in the potency. Liponine™ Clinical Strength offers double the dose of its key ingredients for maximum impact. This might be suitable for people with significant health challenges related to blood sugar and metabolic function. Q. What is the estimated arrival time for Liponine™ shipments? A. Orders typically take 24 to 72 hours to process before shipping them out. From there, most contiguous American states’ estimated arrival time ranges between 5 and 7 business days. For international shipments, customers are responsible for applicable taxes and customs charges, with the arrival time ranging between 2 and 5 weeks. The higher the price paid for shipping, the sooner the packages will arrive. Q. Does a money-back guarantee protect Liponine™purchases? A. Yes, Liponine™ has been protected by a 90-day money-back guarantee. If individuals have little to say about the improvements within the first 90 days of taking this supplement, customer support can be reached for a full purchase price refund. Unused bottles are guaranteed a complete refund, whereas certain used bottles might be eligible for a partial refund. This is a discussion to have with the customer support team, possibly in one of the following ways: Phone number: (629) 276-4922 Mailing address: 1360 Union Hill Road, Alpharetta, GA 30004   How much does Liponine™ cost? Each Liponine™ (regular-strength) bottle contains 50 drops, enough to last a month. With that, the current going price is $29, which has been reduced from the original price of $63. GDRLabs™: Setting the Standards High for Innovation & Superiority GameDay Ready™ (GDRLabs™, for short) is a health and wellness supplement provider with a reputable status in American manufacturing. They had heads turning for their renowned Conolidine formula, developed to provide targeted muscle and joint therapy. Five areas helped this team introduce innovative solutions while setting high standards for others. First and foremost, GDRLabs™ takes pride in its 100% American manufacturing processes. This means that it’s sidestepped outsourcing to maintain standards and avoid compromises. Second, it has introduced an approach that guarantees potency, quality, and freshness with each bottle. Third, GDRLabs™ is deemed an embodiment of superiority, as its solutions result from research, exclusive craftsmanship, and consistency. Next, they’ve employed what’s called PureDemand™, an on-demand manufacturing process originally designed for elite athletes. The latter contributes to the second and third facets mentioned previously. Finally, and coinciding with the first, are their ongoing efforts to guarantee increased potency. If there’s anything to take away from everything, the team feels it’s probably this: “Liponine™ is formulated with naturally occurring compounds, ensuring a safe alternative to synthetic medications. This natural composition minimizes the risk of side effects, making it a suitable option for long-term use in managing blood sugar levels and supporting metabolic health.” Final Verdict From the discussion above, it should be clear that Liponine™ was formulated with metabolic health and blood sugar in mind. The GDRLabs™ team tapped into the health benefits and clinical evidence of berberine, green tea, and curcumin, which is clever on their part. Not only were they able to arrive at a simple solution, but they also found ways to ensure that each serving was complete (with nothing going to waste due to low bioavailability). Our research on the ingredients aligns with many of the statements made by the GDRLabs™ team, which is likely to reassure many individuals.
