a peek at the likely message from tomorrow's announcement:

it's really starting to speed up now...more and more Canadians becoming eligible every week, it seems. And there'll be more vaccine brands coming on market soon, too. The JJ 1-shot is going to make a huge difference once it starts arriving...

I love it. Would absolutely love to move on as a league without the organizations always holding us back.

I'll never stop caring. I'll take every little shred of news. This league means everything to me.... I'll take whatever I can get.

I appreciate Hodge's positivity... It's needed at a time like this. Someone who actually cares about saving the traditions.

The only synopsis needed is: "John Wick With Saul Goodman"

So any thoughts on what the league will announce this week? Announcement coming Tuesday, by all accounts. Part of it will be the official postponement of the start of the season, but I'm gonna say that they'll announce a hard start date of Canada Day. Now, will that be TC begins then or first game of the season.... But that's my guess. They'll give us something "written in stone", so to speak, so we have something to look forward to....

You can't stop McJesus, but you have to limit him. The Jets are a much better overall team and SHOULD beat the Oilers without too much trouble, but CMcD can win a game all by himself, so you just never know...

B117 is the UK variant I believe....definitely dangerous for all ages. Not AS bad as Brazilian variant (P1) but still really bad...really contagious.

I'll look into that...thanks!

his line is always making something happen. Just all hustle, all the time. That's my kinda NHL player...

Now I'm lost on what contracts go for these days, but that seems good right?

wouldn't that be something if it was Jets vs Leafs for 1st in the division on the final night...

Lowry might be my favourite Jet......would love to see him around long term.

Moderna having supply problems and will be reducing shipments to Canada by approximately half, but Ottawa has struck a deal with Pfizer to more than cover the difference:

I 100% get what you're saying and I do agree, but........I also know TSNs rationale for doing that is that there are as many Leafs etc fans living in all of those regional markets as the "local" team..... the demand from those regional outposts for Toronto teams coverage is still very VERY high, even with a "local" team in that spot. Trust me, I hate it, too....it's insane.......but they've got the numbers to back it up.

I get why people hate it...I truly do.....but the reality is there are just way more Toronto fans across Canada than any other team. The only thing that comes close is Montreal, but it's just generations of Leafs fans raising future Leafs fans that goes back to the Original 6 days...

my thing is....I need good coverage in both rural AB and Calgary, and want the best coverage possible when I'm back home in MB. To date, Bell has been the best choice for all of that. If Rogers or Telus could offer me the same without jacking up my monthly bill, then I'll be looking at it in June when my contract is up.

I really and truly do trust Chevy...he hasn't steered us too far wrong yet. I don't think he'd be selling the farm for a bag of magic beans any time soon.

I've really been looking for an excuse to switch to Telus, on account of what a giant piece of **** Bell is as a company...........this might put me over the edge, if they help kill the thing I love most in life.

This, for me, is what sports is all about...... more so than watching the best players in a given sport compete against one another. It's a geographical thing for me that truly drives my passion...

"Nobody" (Odenkirk, filmed in Winnipeg) begins streaming today....that's my after-work plans tonight anyhow. Here's hoping it lives up to the hype... *edit* They're charging $25 to view it online.... not available to any of the usual streamers yet. That's a big "no thanks" from this guy.....shame.

Intriguing, anyhow....curious to see if that takes off. Hey, tech related thing......... what all are you guys doing for smart watches these days? I'm an Android-only guy, and want to get a new smart watch for the usual stuff...sleep tracking, fitness monitoring, and I like the idea of being able to receive texts and stuff on it. I think @17to85you've got a Samsung, right? What's everyone else doing? Are they all in around that $250 mark -ish?
