The same applies for the Vaccine. Why force it to everyone when it was developed in only a year. Human body has been dealing with bacterias and viruses for thousands of years.















-Tyler Bertuzzi's agent


In all serious though, most vaccines take longer than a year to develop for safety reasons.

I don’t think people really wanted to wait years for a vaccine though. As technology develops, things are ought to be developed quicker

Some people don't want to wait, anyways.

During the regular season, Edmundson was Montréal’s 2nd best defenseman last year. He’s a good player and a lot more mobile than Weber or Chiarot.


Absolutely-he was terrific for most of the year. I say most, because, well you know, this (WARNING: DO NOT WATCH IF YOU ARE A HABS FAN tears of joy):

Hmm... ok

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that's a good thing to do to someone, but I think people are overreacting.



I think this sums it up well. He could have done it to white person too.

Maybe there's more to the story though. Like I said not encouraging this or anything.


Implying black people are monkeys is a fairly common racial gesture. It has it's roots in phrenology ("""the science""" of measuring peoples skulls).

It's literally happened to Wayne Simmonds before. Twice.

There isn't much more to this story; regardless of whatever happened on the ice before, Denyskin was making an obvious racial gesture at Smereck. You can easily discourage this by making punishments harsh.

Ok, well like I said I was probably missing something. Thank you for clearing it up.

I had a small panic attack when I saw number 52 for Toronto. I was thrilled when it was Josh Ho-Sang.

That’s what happens when a player in a European league does a racist gesture and preseason starts

Yes, but both had already happened before Tuesday. I guess not every preseason team had played their first game though.

I was just going to insult my Stars when I realized they scored 3 straight goals and now they’re winning. It’s weird how they always start trailing and somehow take the lead.

I will take the chance to admit that I was very very wrong on Wyatt Johnston.

From what I’ve seen him do on our team the kid is probably our best prospect even over guys like Bourque and Harley. I really see him becoming what Tyler Seguin is and maybe even better.

If anyone can link me our discussion during the draft it would be greatly appreciated.

Ya, I didn't see the whole game (I had volleyball practice) but he looked excellent when I saw him, and, well, he got a hat trick.

I thought he was being over hyped when people talked about him potentially breaking out into a top 6 player but he's proving me wrong (and I'm happy to be proven wrong awesome face ).

What is this website like during the trade deadline


The moderation team essentially takes three days off every season:

- trade deadline
- the draft
- the first day of free agency

Insanity is an understatement.

mRNA vaccines have been in development for 30 years. Expecting immunologists to take more than a few weeks to isolate the key proteins in Covid when every research lab was given a blank cheque to do so isn't rational: these are very smart and very capable people. The vast majority of their development time was dedicated to efficacy and testing, what more do you require?

Everyone should get the vaccine. There isn't an argument based in fact against vaccination. That'll be the last of this topic for a while, I seem to recall we all vowed to not make this thread political in the last one anyways.

Yes, and I’ll start that trend.

F Blake Comeau, F Andrew Cogliano, F Tanner Kero, F all of our stupid grit grinders, and praise the lord and saviour Wyatt Johnston.
