AB has 25% fully vaccinated in hospitals now and that number will rise...but blame the unvaxxed when you have 70-80% 'vaxxed'
- LordHumungous


Only 8% of ICU cases are fully vaccinated. The ICU cases are crippling hospital ability to perform other critical services. If there was a 50/50 split of vaxxed vs not, then you might have an argument on your hands, but it's not. My wife had her procedure cancelled this week as a result of this outbreak with no rescheduled date in sight.

Not here to change the hearts and minds of those who don't want to get vaccinated... but something's gonna give soon here peeps.

24.1% on non ICU hospital admissions are double vaccinated Albertans. See a trend here? This number will climb week after week.

Yes, there is a clear trend - the vaccination was not going to stop people from contracting COVID, but to mitigate the severe (ICU related) outcomes from being as prevalent, which is what is happening. As for the increase in patients who become hospitalized, yeah, it might grow, but until it approaches an index of 1 (ie. 70% of hospitalizations/ICU are from fully vaccinated people), there really isn't an argument to be made in my view of the efficacy of the vaccine.

It's like suggesting that no victim from a car accident ever passed away despite wearing a seatbelt. Of course people do, but your chances of survival are statistically proven to be better if you do.

But a fair deal if he ends up being our 3rd pair RD.
One thing is clear though.... opposing teams are going to have to pay a price to stand in front of our net this year!
I hope he can handle the pace of the NHL game still!

If he's our #6, no biggie, agreed. I really hope Sutter doesn't pair him with Zadorov though... that pairing will get caved in against any team with moderate speed.

I agree. Why bring peoples personal choices about health into it?

On that note, enjoy the bliss and wonderment that is Erik Gudbranson this season.

I think we might be done, 46/50 contracts. Gawdin, Froese, Mackey, Kylington & Welinski down in the AHL. Taking a shot at lines 2 & 3:
Line 2 Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman
Line3 Dubé-Zary-Monahan
The second line plays against the best lines of the other teams, it doesn't make sense to put Monahan in there he's not a 2-way player.
I had Line 1 Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Line 4 Lucic-Richardson-Lewis
Extra Pitlick & Ritchie

Sutter was an “advisor” (basically a coach who sits in the press box, like Pearn was for the Nucks) for the Ducks when they acquired Gudbranson and apparently he played relatively well for them during his stint there so it’s possible that Sutter can squeeze some decent bottom pairing play out of him.

Plus add in Sutter's request to grab Guddy oh my... but don't pay head to lack of response he's too busy douching.
