you are not wrong

I literally heard 2 non vaccinated people in the last 2 weeks say I wish I got the shot over the phone


of course I went to both of their funerals



my brother in law runs all the hospitals under one brand in the entire SE US

he could not get my mother in law a hospital bed if one was needed the last few weeks, of course none is needed

I am absolutely disgusted that this is all being politicized. I once again stand by my statement: The chimp gene needs to die so the rest of us can clean up the mess.

Both sides have politicized the virus, the vaccine and everything related to them. Like I said, even Trump had a rally yesterday and told his people to get the vaccine and they booed him for it.

We need the chimp gene to be cleansed. If COVID and ignorance team up to do it, so be it. The problem is all the people who are caught in the cross-fire, like with any war - Be it a war of words, armies, ideals or ethics. Innocent people die and suffer because some people think they know everything and have actual "freedoms" - And further still, they think those freedoms mean they can make decisions for themselves regardless of how it effects others.

This isn't ending any time soon, either, unfortunately.

many of them are refusing to get the shot

Unfortunately, this coincides with poverty rates and ethnicities - And the people who are nurses tend to be of those demographics. I'll just leave it at that.

I think Olofsson will lead the forwards in goals and points, largely because of the powerplay

a healthy okposo could lead this team in scoring

put the new captain on the second line and give him first team pp minutes

I listened to the donnie meatballs interview pegulaville posted. He's very proud of the fact that Okposo had something like 9 points in 13 games.

That's the thing about this team: there really aren't a lot of players that are awful. It's not like those teams of the past with guys like d'agostini, criscuolo and Griffith. They have decent depth; there's just no star power

Morons. What's their excuse going to be when early this week the FDA officially approves the vaccine? Would love to hear what the idiots will have to say then. I bet they'll come up with some lame excuse as to why they still won't get it.

The awful part is in goal most likely.

If they get average goaltending they won’t finish bottom 3 IMO

Exactly

If he plays 20 min, and PP1 time, 60 points would not be very impressive
- sbroads24

I for one would be very impressed. But I'm still pessimistic on Mitts.
Mitts bust%: 60%

Guys I am working on my Economics final (yes I am soon to be 38 years old and back in school)

Please for the love of god be civil today. I don't have time to babysit today...just know tomorrow is another day, and I will back read if needed.

Now back to your regular scheduled programing.

I read...
Cat's away...will play, lol!

aww, alex...you were coming around with a previous post but, alas...alex jones, oan, newsmax, ben shapiro and the many others of the far right called and want their narrative back...

btw, the number of covid deaths on jan 20 when biden took office was about 400K, meaning some 228k have died in the seven months since biden took office...lag-time from when someone is infected and death is approximately 2-8 weeks...four weeks into biden's term there were a total of about 495k deaths from covid so that becomes about 135k deaths under his watch
- Michael Pachla

Meanwhile in New Zealand they're back in lockdown because they have a total of 78 cases inside the country right now. They've had a total of 3000 cases and 26 deaths.

It's amazing what good government means in different places. Hell, it's amazing to me that anyone could still think diversity is a benefit after looking how well homogeneous societies have done against covid as opposed to diverse nightmares like America, Great Britain, India and Western Europe

I find it strange that just about the only thing that Trump got right was ending the unwinnable war in Afghanistan, and now Trump cult members won’t even take the win.
- Atomic Wedgie

Nobody wanted us to be there...so getting out isn't the issue, it is the execution based on piss poor planning. It is Iran of 1980 all over again .. maybe worse if ISIS attacks.

According to Biden Admin Official today on news show, they alerted US Civies to get out months ago as they saw it deteriorating quickly ...but Biden told us weeks ago everything was going to be fine--" we won't see pictures of US Citizens being Helicoptered out from rooftops" ..yet here we are.
And we left a poop-ton of US military equipment there as well.

Way to go Joe.

If he scored 30 goals and put up 30 assists it wouldn’t be impressive?

Yeah, it would be ok IMO. If he’s a competent middle six center those are what his #’s should be.

I want to see EV scoring and some 50%+ Xg

Last season 65 forwards were on a 60 point pace.

If Mitts turns out to be a top 65 point producer amongst forwards I would take that and run, especially for a guy labeled as a bust by many.

So Mitts putting up Reinhart numbers would just be okay?

Not your best work sir.

He has a point. If he's sopping up power play and even strength minutes for 20+ minutes a night then 60 points isn't all that impressive.

It would be a good step, but not impressive. He could get 15 points alone from VO's PP shot

The last full NHL season 2018-2019 there were 37 30-30 guys.

Granted there were more than 37 60 point players (74 in fact) but a 30-30 player is more than okay.

Let's remember Zemgus Girgensons had 15+15 in 60 games at 1C with PP time.

That's a half-a-point-per-game. Opportunity lends itself to production.

So he would have needed 120 games to make it to 30-30.

Like I said in the post above...a 30-30 player is really good

I doubt it will be 30-30. Probably more like 18-42 with a lot of assists on the PP. If he pots 30 with 20 at even strength, then, yeah, 100% impressive

If Mitts is top 75 in scoring for a guy who was labeled as a bust of an 8th overall pick, that's still pretty damn good.

Is everyone now growing and smoking high potent weed 24/7? I get the excitement with the way the roster played when The Don got the boys believing in themselves, no doubt. They should be more fun to watch, I don't believe as presently constructed this roster will show results in the standings...but could see some nice development.

Yet, the last 15 games of the season they were 6-9 and were outscored 60-43. They are among the teams rated as not having improved themselves year over year, and are listed as 200:1 odds of winning it all...for deadlast in the league. Wait until Jack rejoins the team at some point to prove his health/fitness for return to play.

The Koolaid is spiked boys..and furthermore, finishing last assures them of drafting one if the top 3 stud prospects.

Playing 20+ minutes a night, #1 PP time?

That’s exactly what someone in that situation should put up

So he puts up ROR (Buffalo numbers) and that's not good?
