I have an aunt and uncle that are PH members as well.....I have vivid memories of camping trips in NW Ont and my uncle, after some wine, yelling "THEY SAY THAT YOU'RE A SNUFF QUEEN, BUT HONEY I KNOW THAT AIN'T TRUUUUUUUEEEEEEE......"

I turned 41 this year....feel every bit of "Middle Aged". Also, I'm a bit water guy....I love being on the water. Growing up in Pinawa, which is basically an island, you're always on the water. Always on a boat of some kind throughout summer. So I've been feeling this lately.......

Botha says they need a bit more time to prep for it, but "it won't be long" until they can lower it to 12-17 year olds as well....good news!!

Here's hoping this is this is the confidence boost they needed and opens the floodgates...

Everybody thinks because Buff did this during one playoffs (2010 Hawks run) that any big guy can do it. There is one Buff...I don't know that there will ever be anything like him ever again. Extremely unique asset. Let's just worry about Stanley getting better at playing his current position...

Every team needs role players...Jets have some good ones. I really enjoy guys like Thompson and Lewis. You need those guys to win a Cup. They're not the reason the Jets are losing...

Love this... Listen, there's a whole generation of us that were brought up loving the 3 Down Game for what it is. Why can't another generation grow up loving it for what it is? Marketing is right.....how do we get through to those kids. I'm not willing to just give up and say "we can't do it - let's just go American..."

You guys are behind the national case rate right now, so it's going to be awhile till you start seeing trending in the right direction. Because you were one of the last provinces that introduced any mitigation measures, it'll be at least a couple of weeks yet before you start seeing the effect of that. The good news is, as more and more people get vaccinated, combined with the effect of the "restrictions" (insert eyeroll), the daily cases/TPR will "fall off a cliff" at some point...super sharp drop. But it's going to be a bit yet. Ontario seeing it now, Alberta will be two or three weeks yet, and then you guys will be behind that a little bit.......but it's coming. Eventually.

This is more than fair and very logical...

the Jets had one of the most effective PPs in the whole league until this recent slide. The PP, specifically, isn't the issue. There's something bigger at play, and the PP is just suffering as a by-product.

Really unimpressed with Dubois. Not sure what his future is, but I'm not inclined to make him a long term Jets player. For that little production, I'd be happy with someone younger like Perfetti as 3C and Lowry at 2C.

side note that Comrie is backing up tonight...Helle being given the night completely off.

I think Sutter still might have a place... Torts is just loony tunes.

I can't imagine a bigger nightmare than having that guy as HC. It's a 3 ring circus everywhere he goes and not a lot of winning to show for it.

The ONLY thing that matters right now is bringing down the daily case counts, and by extension, the hospitalizations and ICU admissions. If kids have to go online learning for the next couple of months (there is absolutely no way only 3 weeks will bring the numbers down) then so be it.

Again, we're nothing close to a lockdown... Just some measures to limit interaction between people, so we can get the daily infections down to a manageable level. We'll get to where Texas is (hopefully less crazy people) eventually. Fall time maybe...

Not worth giving up our game...

I read that Ottawa is something like 7-1-1 in their last 9.... They're not the free space anymore. Keep plugging... Good things will eventually happen.

I just feel like you're looking for stuff to be angry about right now...

I've read as soon as mid July we'll have second vaxxes done.

I know someone who has the season on an external hard drive, with the ability to rip to bluray.... But that would be illegal. Cough. League could really make money off something similar tho... I'm sure TSN is the reason they can't.

I'm in the process of rewatching the entire 2019 season on my PVR. Last weekend was the Banjo Bowl: Strev Runs Wild... It's really just an incredible season. A wild story.
