there is NO level of mercury that is safe for your body. And trust me you don't want to have mercury overload...it's often called the "Great Imitator" because it can mimic many other issues like MS, various autoimmune diseases, etc.. I actually had that due to a mouthful of old metal fillings that have mercury in them that were cracked and "leaking" mercury every time I took a bite of food. Got them all out via a holistic dentist, had to undergo a lengthy chelation process to get rid of the mercury stores in my body and am feeling pretty great now still about 15 years after all of that. With fish, the main problems are the larger fish that eat smaller fish that eat smaller fish, etc...that causes a bio-accumulation of mercury in the large fish, like tuna who gets all the mercury from the other fish. Tuna is OK once a week or so, but other smaller fish like chub mackerel(not king which is among the highest for all fish), sardines or salmon are safer to eat.

there actually are studies that show just that actually... A review found that youth who specialize most (i.e., focus on one sport, train > 8 months/year or quit other sports) were 81% more likely to experience an overuse injury than those who played many sports. https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/healthandwellness/665293/sport-specialization-tied-to-increased-risk-of-injury-in-kids-and-teens/story/ One large prospective study found that sport specialization was associated with increased risk of injury in girls (hazard ratio ≈ 1.31) and that total hours/week of vigorous activity was a strong predictor of injury in both sexes. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31555716/ In a case-control study of ~1,190 athletes aged 7-18, specialized single-sport athletes in individual sports had higher rates of overuse injury (44.3% vs 32.2%) and “serious overuse injuries” (23.4% vs 11.6%) compared to non-specialized athletes. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28351225/ In a review of youth sport specialization, risk factors such as playing >1 organized team, competing year-round, participating more hours/week than one’s age in years, and high degree of specialization were consistently found to increase risk of overuse injuries and lower-extremity pain. https://meridian.allenpress.com/jat/article/54/10/1040/420868/Health-Consequences-of-Youth-Sport-Specialization Some organizations note that kids who play the same sport year-round — especially without a break/alternate sport season — face more repetitive motions and stress on bones, tendons, growth plates, etc. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/sports-injuries/youth-sport-specialization

just looked and Ruff said not this weekend, so possibly Tuesday? Oh 100% on that system built to monetize youth sports. Gotta sell the dream to the rich parents that have a kid who has 0 chance to ever make it athletically that if he trains year round, he will somehow become more talented above what his ceiling is.

I agree with this, and also with the WAY they are training. It used to be that players played whatever sport was in season. Football, basketball, baseball, etc... all of them require slightly different skills and movements so you are building up different areas in ways that you aren't in other sports, plus you are giving some areas more of a rest. Now, players focus on the same sport from a young age all year round many times, which tends to hurt them from a development standpoint often times and also from an injury standpoint since you are adding much more wear and tear to the same areas over and over again non-stop over the course of your youth and then as a professional. Then training has become year round as well, so even in the off-season, you are still doing significant work. While that helps make them stronger, faster and more explosive, it also puts miles on the tires and eventually, those tires wear out. The human body only has but so many repetitions in it of any movement, so the more you do as you are younger non-stop all year round and then during the off-season, the more likely you are to have serious issues like ACL, Achilles, etc where it just has worn out over time and needs to be replaced. The one good thing is that these seem to be so good these days, that often times players are coming back ready to go without much drop-off anymore.

It's only 18 games I believe but it runs Dec-May since games are once a week most times. -

It's a very short bus trip, likely not much. -
Clearly they feel he is better than Georgiev, who has sucked for multiple seasons now, and sucked in the chances he got here as well.

What exactly is a single game going to show us? Next to nothing meaningful.

Dodgers just too good...probably win in 4 or 5...6 max most likely.

what are you getting for him? Regardless of what you think of him defensively, you would be losing an elite puck moving defensemen who has repeatedly been among the best in the NHL at generating transition offense from his own zone with stretch passes thru the neutral zone setting up counters and odd man rushes going back to his rookie season.

Let him stay down there Let me tell you about Maxine!

Tage at 7x7 is an overpay? Might be the best contract in the NHL other than McDavid's 12.5 mil.
