Let's see how nasty NHL D-men handle the showmanship from that little halfling.

Thomas Vanek commented the other day how soft the NHL has gotten.

The last four-to-five years, besides (Zdeno) Chara, the league isn't that tough anymore. I think we can all agree on that. I think early on when we all played together and you got the (Chris) Prongers, the (Derian) Hatchers, that was tough. Standing in front of the net, there was no penalties back then. The ref would say, 'Hey, loosen up Pronger' and Pronger would look at the ref and was like 'Don't ever talk to me again.

I don't know if it was really dirty (in the past), that's the way it was - if you go in front of the net, you're taking a punishment. Now the game has changed. You've got a lot of smaller defensemen who are more mobile. They cross-check a little bit, but those guys are nonexistent really anymore.

Who was the guy who picked up EP and slammed him to the ice? I don't think showboating will go over well for Hog. Canucks have a history of getting pushed around.

Matt Boldy’s 2nd of the night while short handed is a banger.

The sophomore now has 7 points in 4 games on the season. #MNWild

Is the NHL going to put in a dwarf toss rule to protect halflings?

Well at least two of these vaccines are 95% effective at stopping infection but there is still so much they don’t know. Like if someone who is vaccinated could still be a carrier, how long you might be protected for etc. I wouldn’t qualify for a Covid vaccine until probably next winter, depending on how many doses Canada can acquire, but I’ll get one of it means that my fellow Canadians are safer for my participation, especially my mom who lives with us, and my friends and other family.

From what I've researched, developing a carrier vaccine is far more difficult then an immunity vaccine
The live polio vaccine in Africa ïs one of the few to actually create a carrier response, unfortunately it's also responsible for causing 12 of the 16 cases of polio world wide last year.

Yeah, the health authority is thinking the first one was a false positive because two days later she tested again and was negative. So she was sent to a different care home because their entire staff had it. She started to have a sore throat and was tested again a week later and the next day she got told she was positive and is showing many more symptoms.

She's a bit of a theatrical human, likes to get herself worked up. Was afraid she was dying yesterday.

- manvanfan


Best of luck to her, for the vast majority of patients it's just like having a cold or mild flu. The theatrical ones around my parts are also hysterical about it, full on fear based response.

His floor is top 6,I heard he put on 10 pounds and he half an inch, so he is getting closer to top 3 at this point....

“The Oilers aren’t perfect. They failed to address a glaring need in goal this off-season, and they’re mediocre defensively. But they arguably own the two greatest offensive weapons in the sport, and their power play converted at the highest rate since the 1978-79 New York Islanders last year. When you have Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on a team that has established a make-the-playoffs floor, it’s fair to say winning the Stanley Cup sits in your range of outcomes in the present. The emergence of Kailer Yamamoto as Draisaitl’s regular right winger turned Edmonton into a deadly two-line team rather than a one-line team and altered the team’s identity last season. After signing Dominik Kahun and brining back Jesse Puljujarvi, the Oilers have some new options to mesh with McDavid on the top line, too.

We know the Oilers will score goals in droves again. To break through as a true contender, they’ll have to clean up their play in their own end, especially with a goaltending tandem of Mikko Koskinen and Mike Smith unlikely to steal many wins, as Edmonton ranked in the top third of the league for most shots and scoring chances allowed per 60 at 5-on-5 last year. A step forward from a young D-man such as Evan Bouchard could accelerate the team’s trajectory. Regardless, Edmonton (finally) seems to be heading in the right direction.”

According to Elite now he's 64" so he's grown 3 inches since being drafted.

Must be on the measured on skates like Lefty.

He's now Alex Tuch instead of Jake Virtanen

“Same goes for the Maple Leafs, a team loaded with offensive talent that has somehow failed to win a single playoff series since the Auston Matthews/Mitch Marner era began in 2016-17. After Toronto bowed out to the Columbus Blue Jackets during the play-in round, GM Kyle Dubas decided to shape his all-skill outfit into a group that should, in theory, be more difficult to play against in 2020-21. Out went speedy, skilled forwards such as Andreas Johnsson and Kasperi Kapanen. In came big, physical veteran leaders to fill depth roles such as Wayne Simmonds and Joe Thornton. In T.J. Brodie, the Leafs landed a new partner to play big minutes in a shutdown role on Morgan Rielly’s right side. Puck-moving blueliner Tyson Barrie walked, replaced with bruising veteran Zach Bogosian.

The Leafs made themselves different this off-season. But are we sure they made themselves better? It’s debatable how much Simmonds and Thornton have left. To Dubas’ credit, however, what the Leafs were doing wasn’t working, so he had to try something. There’s no denying the talent level on this top-heavy team, which still has the ceiling to produce a Rocket Richard winner in Matthews and maybe even an Art Ross winner someday in Marner. But even as Matthews, Marner and William Nylander remain early in their primes and intriguing rookie left winger Nick Robertson gets a tremendous opportunity to crack the top nine, there’s an urgency in Leaf land because of their payroll woes in a flat-cap universe. Left winger Zach Hyman and starting goaltender Frederik Andersen enter the final seasons of their contracts, while Rielly has two years left. Toronto already has $67.95 million committed to just 13 players for next season. It has to go deep in the playoffs before it can no longer afford the depth to surround its young core forwards.”
