Ah politicsbuzz. It's not like the biggest game of the season against the teams oldest rival is happening tonight. Nope.

The IHME projects rates will start to rise again soon and then drop off starting in the third week in March. A more rapid spread of the variants makes it worse and universal mask use makes it much, much better and quicker.

Oh God I'm hoping for an early spring.

As long as I can have friends into the backyard, I can go until September on some variation of lockdown.

But this social isolation in a cold, dark climate thing is really starting to affect my mental health.

The team also battled a pandemic in their first season, so maybe a virus is the team's oldest rival?

I would agree circa 2012 when that was drawn.

I'll say Habs win tonight. 4-3 in a shootout.

Some optimistic news ..

14.5 million Ontarians. 20% are under 16 (no vaccine) ..poor (frank)ers. 70% is said to be the "public immunity" comfort rate. So by my math we need to immunize about 8 million Ontarians to gain that comfort rate.

JT is promising 8.5+ full vaccinations in Ontario by late June. Add to that - the earliest studies are showing significantly reduced transmissibility after one dose.

I'm optimistically planning for some modest social bubble type 'gatherings' maybe even as early as May long weekend.

No idea. But the Leafs were a mess in 2012 and I can understand not wanting to rep the gear.

Jays need a couple more players
- senstroll

Tampa did a really good job of not getting better this off season. I think there's a good chance the Jays finish ahead of them.

Paxton and Shoemaker please

I very much hope they bring Shoemaker back.

I miss the days of the Bozak, Gardiner and a 2nd rd pick trade rumors too..

I very much hope they bring Shoemaker back.

Wearing shoes might hurt the Blue Jays playoff chances. More slipping and sliding. Better stick with cleats.

If the Astrazeneca approval comes this week or next then they 'should' be able to meet their goals.

Come on science!

So im pretty sure this will be a 6-2 Habs win tonight. My inlaws have an affinity for that Habs, and the Guelph Storm.

I see Nick Suzuki scoring 2 goals (Guelph Storm) so I get to hear about how good he is, Josh Anderson getting 2 goals, and Jeff (The Norris) Petry gettting a goal

I like how you think.

And yes, Jeff Petry is on his way to the Norris.
