    In today’s win everyone in the lineup got a hit, except for Vladdy. 
     

    I had a theory, at the beginning of the season, that losing his two best buddies in the clubhouse would probably hurt how he plays and acts. His demeanour in the dugout just shows it. No more jacket. No more fooling around. He just looks disinterested.

    This fine gentleman has more HRs than Vlad this year.

    More or less said that he sticks by his 'personal beliefs' yesterday, which basically confirmed that he only regretted causing a distraction. Front office probably decided that was the last straw.

     

    About time, honestly. He hasn't shown a lick of meaningful remorse for the hateful stuff he shared. They called up Mitch White, who has been dreadful in his minor league rehab starts, but I'd still rather have him on the roster than Bass.

    There was also this PR fiasco.

    Probably the worst draft in the franchise history. The entire 2016 offseason was a mess. 
     

    A whopping 69 B) games played with a top 5 pick. A month prior to the draft JB traded our early 2nd round pick, 4th round pick and McCann (2014 1st rounder) for Gudbranson and a 5th. Then for the icing on the cake Loui Eriksson was signed for a 6M x 6 year contract. 

    Bleak times.

    This was Dublin today...

    Rugby fans in Britain will be familiar with Irish fans singing “The Fields of Athenry” during matches – the first verse is worth noting for its reference to the criminalisation and deportation of starving Irish people for the crime of stealing food: “For you stole Trevelyan’s corn… So the young might see the morn… Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay”

     

    So devastating was the famine, that Ireland is the only country in Europe with a lower population today than in 1840.

    does his underwhelming playoff performances help soften the sting a bit? 

    It also might just be the sting of being in the worst stretch of years in Canucks history in terms of making the playoffs. 1 playoff appearance in the last 7 years. Scrolling through their history it wasn't even that bad in the darkest days of the franchise.

    These are just common folk saying stuff.  I didn’t hear dr. Bonnie say that kids with Covid symptoms can attend school.  I would need to see an actual direct quote from her.

    "Particularly children with mild illness or less likely to have symptoms, yes we are still allowing children to go to school in those settings."

     

    Maybe she means the infected person at home and not the student? Confusing.

    Could only follow the conference through twitter today so it's definitely possible there's misinformation flying about. If I am able to find a direct quote I'll definitely provide it.

    Are you sure that’s what dr. Bonnie said, that students with mild Covid symptoms can attend school?  I don’t remember her saying that.  

    Sorry I'm not good at embedding tweets  but...
     
    @TeriMooring @bctf Our PHO just said that the children of Covid+ families could go to school. They could even go with “mild symptoms,” so long as they wear their mask. This supposed doctor is not going to keep #bced safe - are you? Are you going to help is to keep our kids safe?
     
     
     
    Hilarious! Dr. Bonnie Henry just told parents if your child is mildly ill in a house full of covid positive adults, ITS OK to send them to school. Then double backed and said to use your judgement.
     
     
    our PHO says children with Covid symptoms can go to school. Is this part of your plan? Infect every Canadian? If you don’t do something this weekend you really are complicit. #bced #bcpoli #cdnpoli #firebonniehenry #fireBonnie

    Actually she said if they have mild symptoms and wear a mask they can go to school.
