    The whole point isn't convincing you or me to get vaccinated (I'm waiting to get my second Pfizer shot BTW).  The point is that we need to convince those who haven't and are skeptical of the vaccines.  The hesitant people.  These are the people that will need to be convinced for us to get to or get as close to herd immunity as possible.  The quicker we get there, the fewer unnecessary deaths.  The fewer people who may/will have significant health issues after "surviving" Covid.  The lower the chance of the virus mutating into a vaccine resistant strain.  That was the point.  That is the point that all of us should be getting.  So yes, you should care.

    Some would rather take on the risks of catching covid than be vaccinated. Why is it important for you to make that decision for them?  We are safe. The idea that they will be a breeding ground for a superbug seems lame. In the UK not half the population vaccinated yet the virus seems to be toast.

    Are you stupid or dishonest.  Vaccinating as many healthy people can provide protection for the 5% that vaccines don't work as well as the people who for MEDICAL reasons cannot get vaccinated.  In order to surpass the 70% number when herd immunity will start to kick in, the overwhelming majority of healthy adults will have to get vaccinated.  Relying on children will not get us past 70%  this summer.  Getting to herd immunity also helps to reduce the chances that the virus will mutate.  But hey, he's a liar, so let's just discount everything he said.

     

    Care to provide your analysis.  

    I'm vaccinated so there's no reason for me to care if you or John Oliver are vaccinated  because I'm fully protected from a serious outcome of Covid.

    Aired a few weeks ago, but Last Week Tonight segments uploaded to YouTube get blocked here in Canada for a few weeks (rather link the legit channel).  

     

    NSFW for language oviously.

     

     

    John Oliver is a propaganda point man. He lies about the salient point. Vaccinate vulnerable people are 95% protected and 100% protected from HOSPITALIZATION. Funny how he forgot to mention that. Is he stupid or dishonest?

    Weird that the news going to bother to come out with the obvious. Why not just continue with the bs after getting all the fact checkers and phony pundits on board?  Will facebook and twitter reinstate all the people they banned. They really have to let free speech prevail instead of pretending they have some special ability or calling to enact censorship. It was always crazy to believe a bat left it's cave and flew 400 miles to  bite a person in a wet market.

    So essentially at a loss.. 

     

    I think most people don't understand that crypto is essentially a long term investment, and what mean by that is at least 5- 10 yrs or more. 

     

    Never sell at a loss unless you have no choice. 

    Well... I still have my 100 shares. If it rises 10% from here I will be back in black.

    Don't see us firing Benning. His drafting has been exceptional. He said all along that he'd pay extra money for leadership. Now that most of our young guys have a few years under their belts, I think he will be more shrewd and prudent with our cap space.

    Do you think Pettersson and Hughes can lead us to a cup?

    Gillis traded away young propects and draft pick? Look how depth chart was when he got fired???

    Horvat - Gaunce - Rodin - Jensen -Corrado - Hutton.... Just awful...

    BIG No To Gillis......

     

    1.Quinn

    2.Benning

    3.Burke

    I wonder if anyone else here has the guts or brains to admit Gillis's worst mistake was wasting 56 million dollars signing the Sedins for 4 more years. That was suffering. Purely a 4 year delay in a necessary rebuild if winning a Stanley cup was of any interest.

    He was my favourite Canuck from the 70’s as well. He had a great shot and was tough as nails. I hated to see him traded to Boston but we needed a young centre and Chris Oddleifson was a fair exchange. 
     

    R.I.P. Bobby.

    Me too. Always my winger on table hockey. Guevermont on defence.

    Thatcher demko should probably be getting tukka rask money from 2012-2013 which equates to 4.1 million today

    That's way too much for Pettersson.

    Pearson with 18:12 of ice-time while Virtanen had 08:00. Not sure what Pearson did to deserve so much more than Jake, but I thought our shotgun was more visible than Tanner.

     

    Sutter with 15:25 vs Beagle with 7:32. Both not really visible, but at least Jay throws a few hits out there and wins more draws as opposed to Sutter. 
     

    Green has been consistent with giving guys like Sutter, Pearson and Roussel extra ice-time or a slot in the lineup when they really don’t deserve it. Something needs to be addressed here.

    Exactly. When Green gets desperate, like playoffs last year, he puts Jake on the top line. Then after we win he puts him back down the lineup.

    According to Pearson, the assault on hoglander is no biggy and that happens all the time.  The culture on this team is embarrassing.  A rookies who has been one of their best players is one of the only players with the  balls to throw a real hit and when he gets assaulted over it, his teammates just shrug it off.  Perhaps that explains why so many promising young players seem to plateau early on this team.  Why  use your ass and expose yourself for teammates that won't have your back. 

    Another Sutter ffs.

    He has not worked to strengthen his body. Not seeing the commitment to to be elite 

     

    he simply refuses to first time the puck 

     

    there is something off with him

     

    i would pull him off the first pp unit in favour of hogs 

    Hog is the better player atm. Pete needs legs and core. He was sneering when questioned about it pre season. He cant keep up now.

    Something not right with him...  think its more than a confidence issue.   He not handling the puck well, his skating is choppy, hes making too many turnovers.  He looks 15 percent of the player he did last 2 seasons. 

    So disappointing. I thought if there was one guy that was gonna get better with age it was Pete. Opposite is true so far.
