This is actually getting almost comical at this point. I think the Oilers should consider getting Smith near some Omicron patients while he is hurt because you know as soon as his thumb heals, he will get covid.

Not a bad idea actually.
I think you can make the argument that if a goalie's injuries are the groin, knee, hip, hamstring, type.. something that might be related to a lack of flexibility, you might be able to attribute it to age.. but Smith getting his thumb bent back is just a normal wear and tear injury. I won't hang this recent IR stint on "old age", and the ankle injury previous to that was caused by a collision, so even that one wasn't solely a flexibility issue, i.e. "old age". I'd be more concerned with reduced reaction time with age, but Smith seems to be relatively OK in that department, Koski less so.

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,

Obviously I don't want anyone to get sick but the way it's going and these injuries being sort of fluke things, I fully expect him to come back from an injury, practice once, then go into protocol. Just how it's going this year.
