Tegnell has consistently argued that Sweden’s approach is more sustainable than the sudden lockdowns imposed elsewhere. With the risk that Covid-19 might be around for years, he says completely shutting down society isn’t a long-term option.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372 We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.

I hate it.

On The Instigators yesterday Rivet said Bogosian had a hiccup and wasn’t close to returning.

Every coach Risto has played for has seen fit to play him big minutes. Does Risto actually suck?

I like it. Let the whining begin!

He wasn’t there last year. The camp preceded the trade.

Finalist for Minnesota Mr Hockey so he’s got that in his back pocket.

I’ve only been to one game that wasn’t a Bills game. I had fun thinking back. Thanks! Been years but Dodger Stadium has always been #1 for me.

We hardly knew ye?

I am a UND grad and went when they won it in Tampa in 2016. The other three teams fan bases consisted of family members. About 15,000 NoDaks showed up. A very large contingent of middle aged people that prefer Fighting Sioux to Fighting Hawks. Many chants of “Sioux Forever”. Not to worry for those easily offended - the SiouxHawks are not good this year. Similar crowds show up in Texas every year to watch the NDSU Bison win the FCS title damn near every year

Regarding the Eric Reid discussion a couple weeks back which was centered on his being singled out for testing: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/01/09/source-eric-reid-overstated-the-number-of-times-he-was-tested/ http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/01/09/nfl-union-agree-no-impropriety-on-eric-reid-ped-tests/

Can one appreciate a once-in-a-few-years winning streak without being accused of stroking themselves?

Kudos to you. Those people that get excited about sports/entertainment are so full of themselves.

Being ultra-competitive world class athlete? I’ve been lucky enough to be behind the bench twice this year. Every one of them let’s out an F bomb as they come to the bench. It’s sports.

Tied for fourth most points in the while being 26th in faceoffs. Would be nice to have an ace when you need one but maybe they aren’t all that important.

The one that has “Jake” in the second sentence is McCabe. Did I get it right? Over the years McCabe has received much disparaging here and now folks can’t wait to get him back in the lineup. Patience with Guhle and every other prospect seems like a good idea.

Didn’t the Sabres make a habit of comebacks during the winning streak?

I made a point to show my buddy the reaction of the Sabres bench after the Larsson fight vs Philly. They were beside themselves.

Let’s hope. He’s only got two weeks left to prove himself.

If (big if) Beaulieu continues to play like he did last night they won’t ever get him out of the lineup. He was flying and was one of the best players out there. The fact that he’s a willing participant when things get rough is an added plus.
