More of a Spike the gremlin look for me

I think 8M for him is too much.

Tkachuk's offensive potential isn't much more than he's already showing.

I do love what he brings to a team, but if you give him 8M, you probably have to give Stutzle 10 in 2 years.

Dubas would have given him 8x$11m

HAVE YOU SEEN HIS EXPECTED GOALS??????????

Even if they aren’t how is their opinion regarding vaccinations more qualified than actual doctors?
- Dozzer

It’s not.

GO JAYS GO


*fires up the tv*

As for Norm Macdonald. His Conan O’Brien appearance with Courtney Thorne Smith is the greatest late night guest of all time.

It’s not.
- drexel

Well, I have multiple doctors and everyone of them said get it done. Sucks being epileptic but it’s better having their opinions over the governments and media.

Basically the only thing not to get would be the second shot and only if you’ve had a massive issue with the first one.

My wife has lupus and was told to wait until more data comes in. Rest of house vaccinated. I’m just anti the vitriol spewed towards those that have made a personal choice. Broad brushing them as one group of type of people is wrong. I really don’t care what people choose to do.

You gotta admit the feds own some of this hesitancy. The goal posts kept moving. Different countries saying different things. You need every 3 months. Then as soon as possible for the second. Mix brands. Don’t mix brands. AZ is fine. Az is bad. Seems to not be around anymore. Trust is earned. Tam has the credibility of a shoe.

I’m sorry to hear about your wife and I’m glad she’s listening to her doctors.

Admittedly I did the same thing and that’s why I’m not getting my second shot til this Thursday. I had a left temporal lobectomy in February so I waited til I saw my primary neurologist in the summer. So you and your family’s choice to listen to her doctor is incredibly correct.

I agree 100% to let her doctor make the best choice. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that the information to clarify is given to her soon. Has she been at least given a rough timeline? I’m happy because I need to see the surgeon again on the 29th so thankfully I’ll have both shots by the time I’m in the hospital again, considering I’ve spent 3 weeks inside it without a shot.

On the plus side. She has a massive supply of hydrocloroquine

Feds and the provincial government here absolutely own their share. The rules have been ever evolving and defy their own logic at times, they can't stick to their own standards long enough for people to develop any kind of buy-in. Back and forth, hinshaw admitting she's a (frank) up today as it we didn't already know and as if her bosses weren't happy for her to be a (frank) up so the Stampedes could happen.

Government set us up for this as far back as Trump convincing society to not trust anything that counts as news.

I have all respect in the world for people who've decided they need more education or have been advised to wait. I have however grown very tired of the types that just spew off things in your face that are incorrect about the vaccine. Education is critical and society has been on this rollercoaster too long to not be interested in it by now...

Can’t complain with that

What’s the dose level? Mine for my anti-psychotics is crazy… 3500mg a day

They might consider changing it next April…. Ugh

Well you gotta admit that when our government subsidizes the news it ceases to be trustworthy.

When I was younger I played ball like crazy… competitive, even got to play a few games at labatt park in London, the oldest one in the world.

Then I went to playing music for years and toured around quite a bit, hell, I remember when the sheepdogs opened for me in smaller bars before they hit their fame.

Nowadays I walk a lot, that’s a big move forward considering I was seizing badly 2-3 times a week. I’m getting better but even my doctors say it takes a couple years. My next step is to start riding bicycles again.

Loads of hockey people I know tho, grew up with Andy McDonald and got to play his Stanley cup party, my cousin Warren Rychel got to play with Gretzky in LA, and man you should hear him describe how he was top ten in points when Melrose put him on 99’s line to protect him (instructed that who cares if he gets kicked out of the game, if anyone touches Wayne kick the living poop out of them). All he had to do is park his ass in front of the net and not move, then Wayne would just bounce it off him.

Perhaps requires added scrutiny but it doesn't hit cease to be trustworthy for me. I tend to read coverage from multiple sources before determining my own opinion regardless, every outlet leans one way or the other if you hit enough biases your bound to find your own truth without being fearful of the government along the way.

I'm less tolerant to actual humans than I am news outlets in 2021, can't even buy a sub at subway without the crackpot making it spilling some conspiracy theories. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Independent thought and common sense should be a thing well before reliance on news anchors and journalists, it was like that 25 years ago too, the world was just less susceptible to it without social media influence. Humanities ability to become educated and informed and then speak is dead and gone.

You still playing there? With who?

People cheering didn’t bug me… as a catcher I always worried about my head getting hit or the ball going far back after a bad pitch or a (frank) up by me and I’d have to run with all that poop on

The inability of people to reason about what might be credible sources of information or what may be a reasonable theory is astounding. Conspiracy theories are out of control.

Thanks dozzer for your detailed answer. I asked because working out (bench,squat,deadlift...) in combination with coffein and some other ingredients (like the amino l-tyrosin) + optimizing nutrition/supplements in general did wonders for me & my mood - yes, a proccess of years. Riding bicycle is especially pleasureable as we can enjoy the nature and see other creatures - enjoy!

My LMBL league. We play Labatt quite a few times in the season. We wrapped up on Sunday though. Good timing as my knees are feeling it.
