I'm not saying this to be funny, but I wonder how many non-vaxed ppl are non-vaxed for the single reason that they are scared of needles.

He should go into concussion protocol immediately.

No more Canes. Good riddance.

Damn right. I get why Sabres fans hate him, but he can play on my team anytime.

Let's take a moment to reflect on Leafs fans for a second. They generally hate the Habs even more than they hate us. LEAFS FANS ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!! And I'm okay with that.

OK - Habs > Jets. But the Jets swept the Oilers.

The Habs - almost certainly the worst team to make the playoffs this year - have not trailed in a game for something like the last 337 minutes according to SportsNet. In spite of being a Sabres fan, sometimes the NHL is fun. Or maybe funny.

^ That's a really poor choice of words.

LOL. As much as I hated the "first" Bobby Clarke, I loved him in a Team Canada jersey. Different story when he was wearing a Philly jersey. Kinda like with #63. Edit: I gotta say, that series was a war. There were political connotations out the wazoo. The 4 games the Canadians played in the USSR, they were harassed from minute one. 3am phone calls, disappearing supplies (beer, beef and cereal, etc.), bugged hotel rooms, commie refs, you name it. Part of me thinks Kharlamov was lucky they only sent Clarke after his ankle and not his neck.

1972 Summit Series: Canada vs. USSR. Bobby Clarke intentionally slashes Valeri Kharlamov in the ankle with total intent to injure, and he succeeded. Broken ankle for Kharlamov (arguably the greatest player on the planet at the time). Kharlamov had been wreaking havoc for the first 5 games.

this is not good.

You haven't seen A Clockwork Orange.

I heard mil-Letch-ko, too. She's from Mass. Nantucket to be exact.

I literally just came here to post the same thing. I'm pretty sure it is AJ Mleczko.

I can't even imagine what it's like to be a Leafs fan right now!

Yup. And he managed all that data on 3" x 5" index cards! He was brilliant, and he was an exceptional character. Not an angry man at all, but he still managed to get ejected by umpires at a higher clip than probably anyone in that era. He just knew when his team needed some inspiration, and he took advantage of questionable umpire calls as an excuse to get out there and get the Orioles fired up. I don't know if he was the first guy to kick dirt onto home plate when arguing with umpires, but he certainly did it often. He was also famous for getting in umpires faces and repeatedly head butting them in the forehead with the bill of his cap as he argued. There were numerous times where he did that and the ump told him to stop or else, and then he would just give his cap a 180 and continue with his tirade like it was perfectly natural. I also can't tell you how many times he'd end up on the mound late in a game when Jim Palmer was pitching. They were clearly arguing about whether Palmer should be replaced or not. The funny thing was that 95% of the time it was Palmer telling Weaver he was done and Weaver saying 'no you're not'. He used to do a short segment for radio called Manager's Corner. The link below was not actually broadcasted, but it'll give you an idea of how funny this guy was. edit - link below has vulgar language and un-PC commentary.

Never say never when The Ghost of Harold Ballard is active.

Habs! Carey Price.

Thanks Eleven and Weave for enlightening me on the Constitutional Law perspective. Point taken. It still feels unAmerican/undemocratic to me. As long as you're not yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theatre when there is no fire, people should be able to express themselves when nobody is adversely impacted in the process.

This seems like a very clear cut 1st Amendment violation to me. I would think the team's lawyers are telling them to drop this policy before they get their pants sued off.

Kadri is a ***** moron.

CHICAGO -- Cubs president Jed Hoyer says he's "disappointed" his team isn't likely to reach the 85% vaccination threshold that leads to reduced COVID-19 regulations. "It's disappointing to not be at 85% as a team," Hoyer said Thursday morning. "We've worked hard to try and convince or educate the people that have been reluctant. We're at a place right now -- I'm not going to give up hope we're going to get there -- my level of optimism is waning. It is disappointing." About half the teams in Major League Baseball have reached the threshold and qualify for looser restrictions, such as the elimination of mask-wearing and the ability to use shared spaces in clubhouses, indoor and outdoor dining and many other everyday life activities. "There are conveniences that come with getting to 85% as a group," Hoyer said. "Mask-wearing, dining and things like that, that we would all like to have." https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/31478397/jed-hoyer-disappointed-chicago-cubs-not-reaching-85-covid-19-vaccination-threshold The players on the Cubs who refuse to get vaccinated are adversely affecting everyone else on the team. If I was one of the vaccinated players, I'm pretty sure I would be resentful of my non-vaxed teammates. This can't be a good situation team morale-wise. It even makes me wonder if management might consider getting rid of some of the non-vaxers.

How fitting is that! Hathaway, the guy Rask feloniously assaulted, sets up the go-ahead goal.

Jesus freaking Christos, Rask just got away with a 5 minute major.

When considering the Fermi Paradox, one of the most important factors to consider is how insanely big the universe is. The Milky Way alone is over 50,000 light years across. So if the speed of light is indeed the limit of how fast one can travel, then right then and there you can immediately discard the notion of creatures from every single other galaxy in the universe as ever having a viable chance to visit earth. There are over 2 trillion galaxies in the universe, but only creatures from our own would have a chance to visit us, and even then they would need to be relatively "close" from a Milky Way perspective.
