With all the clamouring for heads to roll there is an Interesting read on ESPN about the top rising candidates for coach and GM jobs. Very few of the names that are usually tossed around, no retreads so not a lot of experience beyond assistants so unlikely to attract much interest on these boards. One of the names that piqued my curiosity was Chris MacFarland AGM in Colorado. Another, Mathieu Darche Director of Hockey Ops in Tampa Bay, would be very attractive as an Assistant GM. http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/31421880/the-top-rising-candidates-nhl-coach-gm-jobs?platform=amp&_twitter_impression=true -

There won’t be any rematch. Tippett would not be happy if Nurse injured himself fighting in a meaningless game. Is Nurse selfish enough to risk it? -

I wonder if we’ll see the Bo stick-wave from Eddie in the last home game. -

'A great disservice to the people who got it': Ontario pauses use of AstraZeneca vaccine due to blood clot concerns, amid mixed reaction 'A great disservice to the people who got it': Ontario pauses use of AstraZeneca vaccine due to blood clot concerns, amid mixed reaction Dr. David Williams, Ontario's chief medical officer of health, announced Tuesday that the province will stop administering first doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine due to increased concerns around vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), which causes blood clots. "This decision was made out of an abundance of caution due to an observed increase in the observed blood clotting condition...linked to AstraZeneca vaccine," Dr. Williams said. Ontario's chief medical officer of health confirmed that as of May 8, 651,012 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine were administered with a rate of VITT of 0.9 per 100,000 dose administered. A total of 202,873 doses of the COVISHIELD vaccine were administered with a rate of VITT of one per 100,000 doses. "Over the last few days, there has been increase reports of VITT, in particular related to the AstraZeneca vaccine, with a rate of 1.7 per 100,000 doses administered," Dr. Williams said. Dr. Jessica Hopkins, chief health protection and emergency preparedness officer at Public Health Ontario, confirmed that the province is reporting that the risk of VITT is now one in 60,000 in Ontario. The risk nationally is one in 55,000. "At a population level, it makes sense to pause AstraZeneca because the risk of severe outcomes with VITT shouldn’t be underestimated," Dr. Hopkins said. "At the individual level,...there are individual decisions that can be made as well and those are much more nuanced. They depend on your own health, your own risk factors and all of those other things." Dr. Dirk Huyer, coordinator of the provincial COVID-19 outbreak response, stressed that while this has been considered a rare event, the adverse effect is "severe." What if you already took the first dose of AstraZeneca? Despite these concerns, Ontario's chief medical officer of health said Ontarians who received their first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine made the right decision. "We maintain that those who received their first dose with the AstraZeneca vaccine did absolutely the right thing to protect illness, and to protect their families, loved one and communities," Dr. Williams said. "Part of our role with our vaccine safety program,...we're looking for every possibility, every inch of issues that [have] happened, and then we're moving on an abundance of caution to say, let's pause and asses this carefully." How will people who received their first dose of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in Ontario get their second dose? Ontario's chief medical officer of health said he hopes to have answers in the coming weeks around what the options will be for people in the province who are waiting for their second dose, after receiving the first shot of AstraZeneca, stating that the data is being reviewed. The province has also asked the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) to provide direction related to the interchangeability of vaccine doses, meaning getting Pfizer or Moderna for their second dose. Dr. Williams highlight that data from the U.K. is showing there is a reduced risk of VITT when individuals get their second dose, about one in a million, and there are "promising results" of mixing vaccine doses. Dr. Huyer added that there will also be considerations made around the expiry of currently supply and upcoming shipments, in terms of future administration of AstraZeneca COVID-19 doses. "This is still a very rare side effect," Dr. Hopkins stressed. "The reason that we're talking about it is because it was one in 100,000 before." Health experts in Ontario have taken to social media to respond to this latest development in Ontario.

Luckily I have one ace in the hole, snakes are her kryptonite. She totally loses her mind if she sees one, even on tv. She’ll be out of commission for about an hour. So as UKNuck points out Australia has been crossed off our list.

My wife freaks out if I kill a spider. She picks them up barehanded and puts them outside. I keep warning her that she’s going to get bit but she never has. Now I’m afraid of her and her spider army.

It’s amazing what this kid has accomplished specially when you consider coming to a new country in a year when you spend so little time with teammates away from the rink. So hard to develop relationships this way. I think it’s a testament to his work ethic and how much time he spends learning. -

I get the comments about another practice and that’s probably what it is. Conditions aren’t perfect for any of the players. Still, second game of a back to back in a gruelling post-Covid schedule when there are other guys who could maybe use a rest... Okay, I’ll try to be more patient but I’m still disappointed. Not many games left to get a look at these kids. -
Just one - muscle tenderness in the arm starting about 6-8 hours after and lasting 24 hours. Same for my wife.

No Gadj? Not gonna lie, that’s really disappointing. I can’t imagine a good reason for this. -

...interesting. I wonder if he has any coaching aspirations if he retired and would he have different ideas than Baumgartner? -

You’re probably right, I was kind of ticked for a bit but I’m over it now. I agree with amigo though I would have been interested to hear Travis’ answer. At least Eddie was out for a while at the end. -

Worth noting that he was playing with Hamonic a lot tonight. What a valuable guy he is becoming. Let’s hope we can get him re-signed. -

The funny thing is he said earlier that he wasn’t going to watch any hockey in the playoffs so I guess he’s just here to see the Canucks lose. Cause he’s pissed when they win. -
