**** no. You'd have to be blind, dumb, or both to think the conservative governments elected in AB, MB, ON, etc. have done any good for their respective provinces recently. The handling of this pandemic is absolutely no expection. Kenney, Pallister, and Ford have all amply demonstrated they're not leaders in any sense of the word.

It's almost as if two highly elite forwards and a hot goalie can't get you far in the playoffs and you need to rely on depth to progress. Thomas Drance? More like Thomas Dunce. What a ******* assclown. Oh, wait... He covers the Canucks. Now I get why he's so butthurt.

Agreed but it'll require better roster management by the Oilers. One player can rarely carry his team to a championship. I still can't believe the Jets swept the Oilers last night. It's a great achievement for a team that so many had written off prior to this series and I think this victory could temper the locker room going forward. Boys can get some much needed rest and see who they're going to face next.

Last night's comeback win reminded me a lot of game 3 vs. the Predaturds three years ago. Ehlers was phenomenal last night and that OT winner was just a beauty! And with a 3-0 series lead and back-to-back games, the Jets are in a great position going into game 4.

So sick of selfish, inconsiderate **** humans... And there are way, way too many of them on this ******* rock, spouting their ignorance and misguided arrogance - seemingly with pride (or even hubris). The pandemic has really shaken my faith in humanity. Pandemic fatigue is real and it's just exhausting at this stage of the game. I know it's tough right now with these goddamn restrictions but I hope everyone enjoys today to the fullest. It's a beautiful day, so get out in the sun and be safe!

Your anecdotal observations are no more valid than the opinions of other members here. As of the end of last month, the three worst areas for vaccination rates were all in the Southern Health Region: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/low-vaccination-rates-winnipeg-southern-manitoba-1.6006430 As of today, the SHR remains the second lowest in terms of doses administered, only second to the Northern Regional Health Authority. While I agree completely that painting in broad strokes is unreasonable, it doesn't change the reality of things on which @Noeller shared his views.

2018 Garbage Knights >> 2021 Oilers The Jets had also just finished up a brutal seven game series with the Predators. Fleury was unreal in the 2018 WCF, too. Can't say I agree with the comparison.

600+ cases... WTF, Manitoba.

"OiL iN fOuR!" Love it when the Jets shut up the naysayers. Solid performance last night and a big statement win, IMO.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-government-200-million-mrna-1.6031024 Better late than never. But Canada by and large was still caught with its collective pants down, further proof how governments consistently operate reactive than proactively.

I drove by Sunday evening and saw the same thing. Could've been easy pickings for fines based on the lack of masks and no real space between customers in line.

I didn't call you childish; I said you shitting on a player is. Try not to misconstrue what others post. See below. Nope. Maurice likely understands he has a specific role to play on this team, which is on the fourth line and the PK, and deploys him as such. Same with Lewis, Perreault (when he was on the 4th), Toninato, etc. Thompson has played over 800 games in the NHL during his career in a predominately bottom 6 role on a number of teams. By your logic, he must have dirt on several NHL coaches, managers, etc. But there's no logic in such a conclusion. He is a depth player and that's why he was signed. Dump on the coach if you disagree but what's to be gained by crapping on the player? What makes you think Gustafsson would be better on the PK? There's a reason you don't put young developmental players in low-minute roles on the bottom 6 or in special teams roles to which their skill set is not suited. Until the top 6 gets it collective act together and the blue line can find some semblance of playing from the net out more consistently, this team is likely headed for another first round exit barring some miracle. But at this stage in the season, swapping out a player or two for a couple of games doesn't seem like a solution for a team languishing like the Jets are.

Nah. The top 6 playing poorly, defensemen trying to do too much, and a generally poor team defensive effort are why the Jets have looked like dogshit lately. Changing up the fourth line to include two developing players wouldn't fix what ails this team. Shitting on a veteran player because you don't like him is just childish, BTW. @TrueBlue4everalso didn't say Thompson is irreplaceable on the PK. But Harkins taking his place on it sounds like a terrible idea.

Maybe the opposition here in Canada should do a better job with its so-called "leaders," eh? From Howdy Doody Milkman to Doublespeak Tool... That party is basically in shambles while still somehow grifting its diehard supporters. Denying science, spreading misinformation, and being disingenuous has undoubtedly thrown a fair share of fuel onto the ongoing pandemic situation in Canada. Sure, the Liberals have their warts and Trudeau is by far no exception in that regard, but of course you'd cry about him and his party in a thread not related to it. Weird how you rarely, if ever, crap on the CPC with the same enthusiasm. If you don't think US politics affect us here in Canada, why are you here in this thread pulling logical fallacies out of your ass?

And the covidiots who continue to exacerbate this crap and prolong our return to some semblance of normal.

Aged like fine milk!

An organization is paying now, too. Damn!
