Chatfield is RD and Juolevi is LD so they are not really competing against one another. I think it has more to do with the fit with who ever their partner is and also who they are playing against. I fully expect to see both of them play 20 or more games this season. We may even see Rathbone given a game or two if they feel he is ready. Nice to finally have some decent defensive depth to fill in when needed.

IMO, Chatfield has outplayed Juolevi for the moment. That being said, I still think Juolevi will slot back in at some point. Travis has a number of options on D to choose from especially when Hamonic returns. It is my hope that he rotates some of his lower pairings in and out of the lineup depending on who they are playing and as the injury bug eventually hits. Given the condensed season that is something they need to try to do.

I think it is far more likely that he starts on the 3rd line with Sutter (re-signed) and MacEwen or the 4th line with Motte and Beagle at the start of the season. His dog on a bone style would fit nicely there while he becomes more accustomed to the NHL pace and style of play. He may move up the line as he makes adjustments during the year. Next season's training camp should give CDC'ers a better idea of where he fits in.

Don't think Tryamkin's wife Anastasiya would approve of that idea lol.

Me thinks they are being paid too much

Would be nice to have a player with the pugilistic skills of one punch Andrey Pedan on the roster. Still remember his KO of Jarred Tinordi while playing for the Comets in Utica. He had a very pacifying effect on the rabble-rouser's of the opposing team

I'm glad to see Travis rotate some of these NHL ready prospects into the line up. With the condensed schedule they need as many players as possible up to speed and ready to slot in when the injury bug comes calling. OJ plays LD and Chatter plays RD, nice to have a spare for each position ready to go when needed later

I think you both are right in what you were trying to convey in your message but stated it in a different manner. Kind of like two people reading from the same book but on different sentences in the book more transmission = more replication more replication = greater chance of mutations occurring If we had just stayed at home as much as possible and social distanced or wore masks when not possible there would have been less transmission and less replication leading to less mutations and fewer people either very sick or sadly; dead. I feel blessed that I am retired and secure financially so the restrictions have not had a major impact on me personally. Unfortunately many of my former fellow employees were living from paycheck to paycheck and this has severely impacted them and their families.

The virus didn't mutate because people didn't listen. That's completely false. It's mutated because that is what RNA viruses do. And governments around the world have still allowed air travel to continue, which is, aside from marine travel, the only was a variant makes it from one country to another, unless that country is physically bordering another. As long as governments allow air travel to continue, this will continue to spread. Local community transmission is a problem, but allowing people to fly from one infected region to another is irretrievably stupid, yet the government allows it. Here's a PDF with up to date infected passengers coming in on flights from other areas: http://www.bccdc.ca/Health-Info-Site/Documents/public-exposures-flights-tables-Current.pdf I think you are both right to the extent that I believe Jan is trying to point out that the more chances this virus has to replicate itself, the more mutations there are likely to be because of that and not masking up or limiting social contact allowed the virus to flourish. Also; Phil, you are right in your postulation that a big part of the problem is the virus's freedom of movement from one distant geographical area to another which allow mutations from one area to colonize another and that would not be happening to the degree it is if air travel in particular had been restricted more than it had.

A conviction of assault or aggravated assault against anyone and esp. a law officer will see this sad #$%% behind bars. Perhaps it will educate him as to what rights he does not have. Public Health Orders carry the same weight in law as the more commonly known ones that help protect the populace each and every day.

Yes they do but most also include the note that you conveniently forgot in your post. Macrotrends explicitly made note of the fact that the data for 2020 and 2021 did not include impacts from Covid and were just projections minus any Covid factors. To not include that disclaimer in your post makes it appear that you are just cherry picking data to suit whatever agenda you may have
-
480 3phase... just need 3 points of contact lol.

You might have also included the note at the top of the list on the Macrotrends site that you got this from: Data is useless if misleading or taken out of context

Maybe you should expand on what effect Covid can have on those that do not die from it but are left with lifelong issues in some cases.The following text is from the Mayo Clinic; a well respected organization in the US........ Organ damage caused by COVID-19 Although COVID-19 is seen as a disease that primarily affects the lungs, it can damage many other organs as well. This organ damage may increase the risk of long-term health problems. Organs that may be affected by COVID-19 include: Heart. Imaging tests taken months after recovery from COVID-19 have shown lasting damage to the heart muscle, even in people who experienced only mild COVID-19 symptoms. This may increase the risk of heart failure or other heart complications in the future. Lungs. The type of pneumonia often associated with COVID-19 can cause long-standing damage to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. The resulting scar tissue can lead to long-term breathing problems. Brain. Even in young people, COVID-19 can cause strokes, seizures and Guillain-Barre syndrome — a condition that causes temporary paralysis. COVID-19 may also increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Blood clots and blood vessel problems COVID-19 can make blood cells more likely to clump up and form clots. While large clots can cause heart attacks and strokes, much of the heart damage caused by COVID-19 is believed to stem from very small clots that block tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the heart muscle. Other parts of the body affected by blood clots include the lungs, legs, liver and kidneys. COVID-19 can also weaken blood vessels and cause them to leak, which contributes to potentially long-lasting problems with the liver and kidneys. Problems with mood and fatigue People who have severe symptoms of COVID-19 often have to be treated in a hospital's intensive care unit, with mechanical assistance such as ventilators to breathe. Simply surviving this experience can make a person more likely to later develop post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression and anxiety. Because it's difficult to predict long-term outcomes from the new COVID-19 virus, scientists are looking at the long-term effects seen in related viruses, such as the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Many people who have recovered from SARS have gone on to develop chronic fatigue syndrome, a complex disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that worsens with physical or mental activity, but doesn't improve with rest. The same may be true for people who have had COVID-19. Many long-term COVID-19 effects still unknown Much is still unknown about how COVID-19 will affect people over time. However, researchers recommend that doctors closely monitor people who have had COVID-19 to see how their organs are functioning after recovery. Many large medical centers are opening specialized clinics to provide care for people who have persistent symptoms or related illnesses after they recover from COVID-19. It's important to remember that most people who have COVID-19 recover quickly. But the potentially long-lasting problems from COVID-19 make it even more important to reduce the spread of the disease by following precautions such as wearing masks, avoiding crowds and keeping hands clean.

PREDICT THE SCORE CONTEST: OTT @ VAN Jan 28 2021
Kootenay Gold replied to goalie13's topic in Canucks Talk
4-3 Canucks SO Petey -
Healthy scratch.... Not really all that surprising given his level of play so far.

Sad but true.. I guess only time can reveal the true depth of the brainwashing that went on under Trumps tenure. Some will eventually see the light and some will be forever lost in the abyss

To late lol. She has blocked me and dropped me off her friends list. She has had run ins with members of her own family as well.

Very much agree about the possible swings. In this condensed schedule it would only take one or two key injuries to possibly toast a shot at the playoffs. As an example if either McD or Draisaitl were to get injured and out for any length of time; Edmonton's playoff chances would be slim to none. This is likely true for most NHL teams this year.
-
But but but.... this Corona virus is fake news pushed by the fake media. /s. Had this same argument with a relative back in late April when I made the comparison to the number killed in the Vietnam war; which killed 58,000 Americans over ten years vs the Covid virus that at the time I posted had already killed 52,000 Americans in 3 months. She kept on telling me that it was no more deadly than the seasonal flu.

I would love to see Travis try out a 3rd line of Virtanen, (Gaudette or Sutter) and Bailey. That line should give the other teams nightmares with Bailey and Virt's speed both offensively and defensively. Either Virt or Bailey can blow by defenders if hit with good passes while in flight and also have the size and ability to get in on the forecheck in a hurry.

He would really have to improve a lot this year in order to stay in the mix as a center. If he does not come around by the end of this season he will most likely be replaced.
