Around the NHL: Part XXXIII

[Sayba]

Since we're talking about Lemieux, he knocked out Josh Manson the other night. Ah but some on here said he couldn't even fight which was laughable.

Dude’s ride is appropriate.

So?

Perfect image of an islander fan. Low-IQ meathead, hanging out in a dingy parking lot, with a "totally not a cop haircut" leaning against his "totally not a cop truck" with a gimmick jersey only a 12 year old would find funny.

For a place people with money are supposed to live, it sure is a place that is filled with low class garbage.

Heard NHL is preparing 2 schedules for next year; one with normal divisions and one that will keep Canadian teams separate for at least the first half of the year.

One would hope that by the time next year rolls around that the covid vaccine would be much more widespread than it is now. I do know that the Buffalo Bills and Sabres both have made fan attendance conditional upon proof of vaccination. I would not be surprised if the Rangers did the same as attendance now is conditional upon vaccination or very, very recent negative covid test. Whether the NHL steps in and actually requires that fans be vaccinated I think at least some teams will.

The white trash outweighs the white money because some of the white money breeds serious white trash.

Growing up there was a real treat...

The biggest issue right now is the lack of vaccine in Canada and the restrictions/issues that is causing. Much less supply than US. Maybe some of our Canadian posters can weigh in here.

 

[Kords]

Idk if these are the Kings broadcasters, but I was kind of amused by how they are drooling all over Lemmy in this fight.

Yeah, there is much resistance here (Canada) to the vaccines, mostly because of the negative media coverage involving side effects with certain vaccines. Also, as of this week certain provinces are allowing vaccinations to people aged 40+ (Quebec), it's not very centralized and well coordinated...some towns, cities have the vaccines ready but people are not showing up and in other places the people want the vaccines, but shortages of supply...As of today over 11M people had been vaccinated (at least first dose) in Canada, which is less than 1/3 of the population.

Actually Quebec eligibility is aged 45 and up. Ontario eligibility is at aged 40 and up.

Yup , you're right 45+ for AstraZeneca in Quebec

I think they are begging for help in Ontario for the products....Albertans want nothing to do with one of the vaccines because of all the talk on side effects . I go on the 12th of May for my shot...don't care what it is .

I have a friend in Ottawa whose retired from the Canadian diplomatic service (a Senators fan) and has had heart surgery a few years back and in his early 70’s. He wasn’t able to get his first shot until early April. By that time I’d already had my second shot two weeks before. It could well be an issue and keeping in mind the OHL shut down an entire season there are different dynamics in play north of the border.

My wife and I and my son have had no issues with the Pfizer. My daughter got the Moderna and her first shot she was sick the entire weekend. She got her second shot yesterday and so far so good.

With the health issue I’m having now I had a narrow window to work with to begin with. Tomorrow is transplant day after which a hospital stay. It certainly didn’t matter to any of us which vaccine and I wish more of my fellow countrymen/women weren’t so dead set against it. It seems pretty obvious that the more people vaccinated the sooner things will return to normal.

The USA IMO should do what we can for our Canadian and Mexican neighbors and IMO we have more commonality with Canada than any other nation.

The US needs to stop the patent f***ery with the vaccines. It's shameful

Stutzle pp goal yep a pp goal. Going to the net

The way Quinn handles the young guys is abominable. The simps could have pointed to Kakko and Laf not being "NHL ready"(which is contrary to 100% of scouting reports). But Krav is clearly NHL ready and one of our best fwds every game lately, rewarded with 4th line and 10 mins for him..

Sounds like John Hynes during his time with the Devils

Bratt or Zacha would have a great game, score too; but since they didnt backcheck hard enough on those two odd-man rushes in the second period, they get sat next game

Lafreniere and Kakko have never sat.

Lafreniere and Kakko have never sat.

Then you must be lucky

 

[egelband]

I am liking the 56 game schedule. (How it has worked for our favorite team notwithstanding).
I’d probably add a few games but basically somewhere in the 60 range feels good to me.

They’ve sat for whole periods at a time.

Nah, I feel like the season just started and now it’s almost over
