yes, I'm aware of this Pete, and that doesn't mean the vaccine is useless, as a matter fact there would be a poop ton more people in ICUs if no one was getting vaccinated... also, in the case of more contagious variants such as omicron, even if the vaccine protected you at 70% instead of 95% for example, 70% is still a whole lot better than (frank)ing zero%, so it's still worth the shot, pun intended...

I feel this conversation is getting nowhere though, let's talk about the habs and the impact of having the French language as a hiring criteria.

It’s more like 40% for omnicron and gonna be 0% for the next wave(s).

So shoot up!!



I don’t care about the French hirings, it comes with the territory, if you don’t like it, find another team to cheer for, there’s 30 some..

All 4 games this weekend. So fun

I'm glad you've done your research and got it all down to a science, good for you, Pete..!


and I was kidding about the French thing, it was just an example of another conversation that rarely leads to anything lol, although I do like your stance on it.

OT? What?

let me have this
- mr.peanut

you mean let you have your heinous ways..? pretty sure you already have them, unfortunately I can't remove them from you.

I never watch football. but I did watch that 4th quarter.
good stuff

Stormey, we got an OT in KCMO!

How was your dessert, Pat? Did you have your ice cream after all?

Mine's about to put me to sleep (it's been about an hour so i should be OK digestion-wise).

oh I don't actually have any at home right now, and I didn't feel like going out just to grab that, I'll probably get some next time I do my groceries...

NFL OT Rules are a joke. You score a TD You win. Buff never touched the ball in OT.

This is something many are challenging…

CFO OT is much more fair…

I watched every second of that..... had to go back and rematch the highlights to truly take it all in. That easily makes the list for all time greatest games. Unbelievable.
I've never seen 2 quarterbacks make plays one after the other like those two did. One, just one defensive stop by either team and that game was over in the final minutes, but even the league's best defense couldn't slow down Mahommes.

But why on earth didnt they kick in the field to force the chiefs to catch and run? That would have run down the clock, such a bad decision! Couldnt believe it. But yeah hell of a game! And the Bucs comeback was impressive as well, i only really watch football in the playoffs and it’s so worth it

nah, Trump went to war with the NFL and nobody watches anymore

*checks numbers and sees at one point there were over $50m live viewers.


"Fake news"

It’s appreciated that you pointed out the similarities between these incidents and the reported reactions that some had the mr Hughes. Hatred comes in many forms and none are ok in professional sports

thanks Karine, good blog. it's sort of an unfortunate topic but we have to keep talking about it if we want things to change and keep improving. yes, hockey is for everyone, and sadly this means there will sometimes be some really dumb/ignorant/racist folks that get involved in the sport. the good news is these people seem to be a minority, even if they do tend to be a loud bunch with their poop-for-brains attitude.

and concerning this:

For some, the fact that he had an English name meant that he isn’t a Quebecer, and that is just downright wrong. The fact that he moved away from the province and spent most of his adult life in Boston doesn’t make him any less of a Quebecer and thinking otherwise is just another form of racism. Personally, I spent over 8 years in London and the experience didn’t make me any less of a Quebecer.


have you heard anyone in the media that have a problem with Hughes and his so called lack of "frenchness/Quebecer identity"..? maybe it's because I'm not on Twitter but I haven't heard a single person complain about this so far, heck even Réjean Tremblay seemed ok with the hiring lol.

What's funny about this is that when being called a "French Frog", I've been told that prejudice against a person's language has nothing to do with race...but I guess when an Anglophone has been attacked, now it IS racism.

Anyway, as you were.

So true. And if you go back to that missed extra point and field goal, none of it would have mattered. But I'm glad it went down that way. The last time I was this excited watching a game...... Vegas vs Montreal Leky goal. Why does that seem so long Ago!!😭😭
