a team that was in the finals 5 months ago fired their GM before we did

The road they crashed on is a somewhat sharp bend, so the car lost control going around the bend. I drive through the area quite a bit. It could honestly have been anything, we won't really know until an investigation is concluded and can make a guesstimate.

no, he's had plenty of chances to change and fix his attitude issues. His issues go beyond him just being a Trump supporter.

The NHL should've done more about this when it happened with Kane in 2015 to avoid it since it was clearly planned. It's annoying to see even as a Lightning fan but it's technically within the rules

there's a difference between selling someone to make cap space and "dumping" someone. Miller was a very effective player in his mid 20s in Tampa and wasn't simply a cap dump

Don't even care about the games anymore, not until next season. Right now just hoping that no one on the team/connected to the team is seriously affected by this now and in the future.

i'm sure they'd be much better in terms of trade and message if they were in power, right? Haha

how so? His defensive issues is exactly what is wrong with our current defence

I don't understand how this team can play worse than the 2016 and 2017 teams, but we are getting consistently embarrassed

yall are talking about how Marky covered our issues but i don't remember the defence being THIS bad. It wasn't great but it wasn't offensive to the eyes bad

this team is collectively playing like a Virtanen, so much potential but absolutely refusing to go anywhere near it

i'd like to at least see a bit of organization. We play like there's absolutely no gameplan, it's embarrassing

we need a steady stay at home dman, i don't really see that in Dunn

their "do your own research" mindset is basically "only believe the things that I agree with and nitpick my viewpoints to articles that make me feel better". Some of these people are living in fantasy land and need help

4-1 MTL Anderson Horvat

didn't even know Rick Peckham retired, but dang. Wasn't Randorf also the host of CFL on TSN at one point?

is that photo really your argument? Lmao I already know trying to prove you wrong will be like talking to a brick wall

except multiple people have proved to you that they are working and do have an effect. Your argument was flawed and we've called it out. I know you probably won't change that belief but I hope it at least sits at the back of your mind. You may find putting a cloth over your face in public as a major inconvenience or an attack on your rights, but tell that to the thousands of families who have lost family members due to this virus, You'll see with perspective how entitled it comes off as. Of course I don't see you that way, I just see you as uneducated on this topic. That's why we're having this discussion.

they are a thing, I didn't deny that. I also didn't say we eradicated the flu. I said that the data would indicate that the measures we've taken have slowed the spread of the flu, meaning it has the same effect on covid, and if anything that it's more important to have these measures since covid is more lethal and infectious.

the government is doing this to prevent hospitals from overloading like we saw in Italy early in the pandemic so that everyone gets equal treatment. These restrictions won't last forever, it's a sacrifice that people need to make to protect the lives of many.

if you really think that would have a significant effect I don't know what to tell you. The percentage of false positives is not high enough to have a dramatic effect on anything

and just to let you know, almost everywhere where there are restrictions has seen a dramatic decrease in cases of influenza. Considering covid is even more infectious than the flu, the amount of covid cases if there weren't restrictions would be much, much higher just taking flu comparisons into account.

we have already seen the 7 day average this week stay flat. We'll see if that continues but it's not an instant fix, it could take 2-3 more weeks to really see a difference. But after Christmas and new years a spike is practically guaranteed because many aren't willing to celebrate virtually

there are studies that show they are effective in blocking respiratory droplets that carry covid-19. Covid particles may be smaller but many of the droplets that carry the particles aren't. Masks aren't 100% effective but they do play a role in preventing the spread of the virus, especially if everyone is wearing one. There are many, many studies to prove this. Places like Australia and New Zealand are generally living their lives the same way they did pre-covid because the vast majority of people believed the science and took it seriously from the start. You didn't have that here or in most places
