  1. No... that couldn't possibly happen to a player that isn't injury prone. C'mon dude...
  2. A few years? Much sooner than that. Either whenever the next KHL season ends or at the start of the 2021-2022 season.
  3. He easily could have gone 18th. Definitely a steal, no doubt.
  4. Agreed. Keeping the pick and adding a guy like Braden Schneider or Helge Grans seems like a no brainer to me.
  5. ALRIGHT LETS GO! bieksa made a nic- YES SIR THAT BIESKA IS ONE TOUGH CUSTOMER ILL TELL YA WHEN HE THAT AND GOT THE FORWARD THERE AND YEAH YOU SEE HERE BIG TOUGH GUY FROM GRIMSBY ONTARIA NOBODY MESS WITH HIM YOULL SEE HERE AND CHECK THE DEFENCE HARD AND “table smack” LETS GO

  6. Sounds way better than what we have in Virtanen!
  7. Does anyone else see a bit of Nik Lidstrom in Miro Heiskanen? I feel like there's going to be a quiet progression to stardom for this kid, and will definitely be up there as one of the league's bests.

      Could see that, definitely really composed and smooth.  Not sure I see him catching up to Quinn in offensive numbers, but he'll probably have around the same impact on the game.

      yes. I don't know if he'll reach the same level? but play style, absolutely.

  8. Come to think of it, game 5 of that series is up there with one of my favourites. Samuelsson scored on a couple of laser shots, Demitra scored using one of his vintage slap shots from off the left wing, and Rypien dislocated Clune's shoulder or something like that in a fight late in the 3rd period. We absolutely stomped the Kings that game.
  9. I don't buy that Roussel isn't tradable. People tend to forget that it takes a while to get back up to speed after suffering a serious knee injury. I thought he was starting to move around very well again before the season was postponed, and surely, he's one of the guys who will benefit the most from this break. He's still an impact guy and of value to us.
  10. Why hasn't Egor Sokolov been drafted yet? And I know he's a 2000 birthday (a year older than other 2020 draft eligibles), but how is a guy of his stature with his stats only ranked 73rd by NHL central scouting?

      Has he not passed through the draft twice already?

       

      42 points and minus 28 his first year in the Q

  11. Podkolzin wears #92, Tryamkin wears #8. Calling it.
  12. Rathbone's great but he's no Jordan Subban.
  13. From BCNU: BCNU is working hard to ensure that vulnerable members, such as nurses who are immune-compromised or pregnant and potentially at higher risk of serious impact of COVID-19, are provided with fast-tracked medical accommodations during the outbreak. There should be no requirement to provide medical notes under the current circumstances, however medical confirmation may be required following the COVID-19 crisis. PROCESS Requests for accommodation should be initiated by individual members who should contact their manager to begin the process. If needed, members can seek assistance from their steward or Enhanced Disability Management Program rep. Managers should attempt to accommodate through redeployment to non-risk areas, allow working from home or assigning other appropriate work. Where accommodation is not possible, nurses should stay home and be able to access sick leave, federal employment insurance (EI) benefits or, if needed, other banks such as vacation or overtime banks.
  14. Viruses mutate, don't ya know! The virus is here to stay and unfortunately people we all know will eventually perish, but it's just a matter of when. That's the reality of the situation.
  15. Doctors and nurses don't have to work if they show (even just cold-like) symptoms. The positive to this is that it'll prevent the spread but the downside is that there will eventually be a shortage of doctors and nurses. I'm not sure if this is what will end up happening, but when it gets to this point (which it will), 4th year nursing students, medical students, etc. should be called upon to provide aid - because, what other options will there be? We're at war right now and we need troops.
  16. 100%. I'm not one to overreact but this coronavirus is a big deal. My dad's a doctor and my girlfriend's an emergency nurse, and both are at this point largely in favour of martial law if people can't cooperate. It should be as matter-of-fact as it sounds: just stay home (but many aren't getting the memo...). It's true that 20-30% of colds and flus you've had were from a kind of coronavirus, but those coronaviruses effected the upper respiratory tract, whereas this particular one effects the lower respiratory tract - so those who have asthma, pneumonia, are immunosuppressed, old, etc. are in serious jeopardy. This is a VERY big deal. Although everyone will eventually get through this pandemic, it definitely slows the process when you have idiots like those who have been partying it up Miami over the spring break. The healthcare system is Canada is already too overwhelmed, so it's about preventing the spread. Lots of people are going to die from this, yes, but preventing the spread is of utmost importance. I know that over in China there were extreme measures taken to keep people inside, but it's paid off. I'm all for martial law at this point. People hate being told what to do, but still, there are extreme measures that are going to have to be taken because people aren't taking this as seriously as they should. Some people really don't give a sh^% if more people die. There's just selfishness, everywhere.
