We’ve been at the hospital since 8:30 last night, so induced around 10:30, still not in labor. The Rangers better give me a win tonight.

it is interesting how Carolina is like two different teams home and road, this thought went through my mind the other night. i wonder if they take some products at home that they cant bring on the road with them. red blood cell/blood transfusion doping would give them a good boost for about a week to ten days so i don't think it's that, you cant just keep doing that once a week anyway because you simply cant store that much blood unless they're doing homologous transfusions (blood from someone else with the same blood type) and if they're doing that then holy shit.

Regarding PEDs:
Testosterone, which does more than build strength and muscle - it increases recovery time, red blood cell count, nutrient partitioning, aggression - is undetectable unless you had a base line testosterone blood level for every player in the league, taken at multiple times throughout the year since it fluctuates naturally anyway. A random test showing high testosterone wouldn’t be proof of anything since you can’t say that professional athletes don’t have a naturally higher testosterone level to begin with. Laf has had a lumberjack beard since 18.
Testosterone derivatives like Winstrol, Dianabol, etc. are easier to test for because they’re altered compounds derived from testosterone with different molecule structures. HgH is another one that it would be difficult to test for, like testosterone, because it’s a naturally occurring compound and you don’t have a baseline on every player in the league, but unlike testosterone where a guy in his early 30s can still have very high natural levels, HgH is typically a bit more clearly decreased by full adulthood. It would still be pretty difficult to conclusively test for without baseline’s taken on every player, especially because unless a test was administered while they were in the middle of running a cycle, or immediately after, the levels deplete back to normal fairly quickly. So HgH or Testosterone can be cycled at almost any time during the season, especially a TRT level testosterone protocol, which would simply supplement test levels to above normal, without being at obvious juice head levels.
The other compounds, like Winstrol which has a specific cardiovascular benefit for sprinters and endurance, could pretty easily be run in the off-season due to short half lives.
I personally doing think there are many athletes in the world who aren’t using PEDs in some capacity these days. The applications are far broader than people think - it isn’t just about putting on muscle and you don’t just take steroids and grow muscles either. If you aren’t lifting and training specific muscles, they don’t just grow. So you could be running testosterone; have huge quads, great recovery time, increased partitioning of protein to the muscles and still have a scrawny upper body and not look like what the public perception of a PED user is.

I'm a big Reeves fan but I would dress Gauthier instead to get more fresh legs and speed tonight.

I would also consider something a bit radical.

Not ready for the season to end today. Been dealing with some kind of illness since Tuesday night, and the person I share seasons with got COVID right after round 1 ended. Have had to sell every game, including tonight. Took numerous COVID tests and all negative, same for flu, same for strep.
Finally starting to feel better. Need a big game tonight. This group hasn't given up all year. Don't think they will now.
Got a 4-1 win. Mika, Panarin, Lafreniere, and Miller on the board tonight.

GH testing is not good. That's why you do not see anyone busted for it. The increase in durability, bone density, longevity and recovery would be extremely beneficial for all hockey players.
The 'accepted average' range of testosterone is so broad. An athlete at 300mcg/dl compared to 700-900mcg/dl would be a staggering difference.
At 50+ years old... RBA is most likely on TRT

Haven't been paying attention... did we practice?
When was the last full-mandatory practice?
Hopefully the lineup was tweaked.... who am I kidding?

It's really disappointing how easily we're shut down at CAR because, like the Bruins, we're a one line team.
I think Igor needs to be immaculate - even more fantastic than he's been all series - for us to have a chance to win both game 6 and 7. Really, the fact that Igor only let in one regulation goal each in game 1 and 2 and we still lost BOTH will be the reason for our defeat should we end this series the losers.

The only way for him to do that is to stop trying to be the hero.
He’s killed us in this series.

It’s okay we can all chip in to buy 50 of these and have them sent to the team.
I’ve heard these things are super meaningful and really give you a boost.
