You can't keep McDrai down 3 games in a row. They're just too good. Still some time to get back in this thing, but if not, you regroup and come out flying in G4. Sweeping them in their barn and getting a split at home is pretty darn good.

Ya my best work friend said he got about half an hour into Tenet and said nope... And he's a big Nolan guy.

A few weeks after being the worst place in North America for COVID, AB is down to 6.5% TP (621/9500). You guys will get there too. Combo of covid mitigation measures and vaccines... Just gotta sit tight for a bit.

There's never been a player who skated as well WITH the puck. He actually gets fast when he's got the puck, which is nuts. People always say "you've got to shut him down... You've got to hit him..." Well ya, but nobody on any team can skate with him. All of which is to say that the Jets are doing a miraculous job of shutting that Oilers top line down.

Pallister is an egotistical nutbar that even Jason Kenney would blush over. That was an insane presser to hold, just to point fingers at people. Oi vey.

ha ha this series is just awful for my already weak mental health situation.....I feel sick for both fan bases.

I feel like it's been an extremely even series, and it could easily be 2-0 the other way, if bounces had gone differently. Smith has been outstanding for the Oilers and deserves a better fate. Helle has earned every bit of this series for the Jets. It's been a lot of fun to watch, if you like this kind of game.

Both tendys outstanding tonight. Story of the series so far has been the incredible goaltending...

Well..... Good for you, Mr H.....

I thought Wheeler looked fine and when he "out ran" the defender on the empty net goal, it was a surprising amount of speed/effort for a guy his age...

this statistic should be plastered on billboards all over southern Manitoba right now and any other place where there's crazy anti-vaxxers.....

I fully believe that once we get through this current wave of the pandemic, we're going to be through it for good. People will be vaccinated to protect us against future waves. Manitoba is the last province to see the crest of the wave, and once they're through it, things are going to look pretty good across the country. We'll start looking like the States are right now. I really believe that's about a month or two away. Labour Day CFL start is still very much in play, if not a certainty....

Just in case any of you wanted to know what life is like in Alberta right now.........

Alberta Health is dealing with a situation whereby people are booking vaxx appts with no intention of using them, hoping to prevent people from getting the shot and that the vaccines will expire and be thrown out. Got a message from a former co worker of mine in Winkler that said MB Health in southern Manitoba (Winkler specific) are having the same problem on an even larger scale. I am absolutely sickened by this....

coming soon -- COVID was raging out of control. Word on the street is 2nd round of playoffs (should they make it that far) would see fans in stands. As long as the numbers keep trending in the right direction...

nah, it's trending the right way for most of Canada. Manitoba is in the absolute worst of it right now, and they're the last province to see this part of the pandemic. It's going to start looking MUCH better within weeks. I feel, based on vaccine uptake, we're going to be looking really good for a Labour Day start at the very latest....

Refs kept the whistles pocketed, as they should for a playoff game. Someone's limb better be missing for a penalty to be called.

Have absolutely felt this. Here's the best thing I can tell you, from someone who was in your exact spot a couple weeks ago: This is going to pass SOON. Just hang on a little bit longer. You're in the worst of it right now, but in just a couple of weeks, this is going to pass, and things are going to start trending in the other direction FAST. Alberta was there, where you guys are now, and we have (knock on wood) got it under control, with numbers sliding down fast. Just hang tight for a couple more weeks...this is the last of it. With every vaccine injection, you're a baby step closer to the very end....

After my year and a half living down there, it's all the same to me. You get south of the #1 and it's all bible thumping crazy people. Even Morden, that likes to think they're the "normal" one......nah.....it's all crazy down there.

related: A couple weeks ago in Calgary, they were handing out "Freedom Bullets" at an anti-mask/vaxx/"lockdowns" rally:

Show your work...... The only argument that I'll listen to is that we should have found a way to manufacture vaccines at home so that we could have had them earlier. Otherwise, the Federal vaccine rollout has been a raging success, with our aggressive 1-dose to as many as possible strategy being raved about by virtually every other advanced nation.

there's a real problem in the bible belt south of the Trans Can.....vast majority of people not getting vaxxed. They need to find a way to get that done...

so I just discovered this today.... it really misses the whistle solos of the original, but it's still really solid, as most Cornell things are..........

really hoping all these awful Con govt's in charge provincially get tossed at the next election. Never forget how badly they handled things...
