I know you guys are probably joking about the ER comment, but my wife is an ER nurse and yeah that’s how it’s supposed to work lol. You’re triaged and seen based on the severity of your injury/illness, how many beds are open, and how many nurses are on staff. Wait times in the ER are what they are because, in Ontario at least, (1) lots of people are coming to the ER when they don’t have a true emergency (a lot of these folks are homeless and just want a warm bed and food - another topic to discuss), the people who are in dire need of the ER take up the available beds, and there’s a shortage in nurses. That’s not to say that you need to be a doctor and assess injuries yourself before you go to the ER, it’s completely acceptable to go there when you’re just not sure and want to be cautious (like anything to do with a baby). But, lots of people come to emerge with “tummy aches” and other petty bullshit that could be addressed with (1) common knowledge, (2) urgent care (not the ER), or (3) your family doctor (oh wait those are in short supply too). Those people also like to yell and scream about how the system is awful and nurses suck, go privatization. Aaaaaahhhhh 🙄 Yeah, our health care system is a little broken, and the solution is to properly fund it, pay nurses and health care professionals way more to incentivize more people to join the force, and have strong educational messaging about how important our health care system is and how to optimally interact with it.

[@rodchallis8031]

Many many years ago, I slid a wood chisel into my hand, bad enough for stitches. I went to Emerge, and waited and waited. Finally, getting the stitches, the Doctor asked about the wait time. "I don't ever want to be first in line here," I said.

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

Problem is urgent care is a mess as well! Closes at 5 and sometimes earlier if they're too busy. Where I live if u don't stand OUTSIDE IN THE FREEZING COLD FOR 30-60 MINUTES BEFORE THEY OPEN U'll be there FOREVER and u say "Well go later" yeah LATER THEY'RE CLOSED (not takign patients) cause they're so busy! WHO THOUGHT ITS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE ONE WALK IN CLINC IN A TOWN THAT'S LARGE ENOUGH TO HAVE A OHL TEAM???? There's "TECH 2" but one's a Tele med clinic where u sit and see a doctor on a computer and the physician there makes its so unpleasant a lot of people wont go.

[@Dan-hz4vf]

paying them way more is insane, so they should make more than anybody else in Canada? They already are in most cases. Look at the sunshine list, yes its overtime, but they get paid enough. Funding shouldn't go to wages, it should go to better work-life balance, less stress. the amount of $140K plus salaries amongst nurses is crazy.

I’m sorry giving Swayman a pass for the ENTIRE season because pasta didn’t shoot pucks at him for two weeks four months ago is insanity.

[@cheddarandsourcream]

I don’t agree with the missing training camp as an excuse for poor play take. We’re half way into the season now and these guys are pros, if your legs aren’t warm because you didn’t play exhibition games in October then I think you’re just simply having a bad season. Season shouldn’t be a write off just because a guy didn’t play in camp.

[@iliaponomarev1624]

Granlund is a perfect 1C for a team in deep stage of rebuilt. His after-deadline-trade performance wasn't great so far: he didn't do any good neither on Preds in 2019 nor on Pens in 2023. Though, well, he does look like a good option for the Leafs on paper.

[@Roddy004]

Great graphic work

[@sirfrostysnow6913]

Yall there was also the outdoor Vegas game in Lake Tahoe against the Colorado avalanche in 2021

[@matthewfast4817]

I think we all need to shame steve for getting all the pieces of a trade incorrect. The bruins acquired both hathaway and orlov from the capitals for those picks and craig smith.

[@Moose_Hawkins]

Grubauer gets even weirder when you look at how he did back in the 2023 playoffs. Against Colorado he had arguably the best stretch of games of his entire career, posting a .927. A week later, against Dallas? .874. How that series went 7 games is beyond me.

[@Mengha]

Maybe it's the brain drain of drinking all the time, but I felt like Stolarz outside of some of the weird saves like when his glove came off has been way calmer than Woll in the net.

[@michaelrudd1927]

Korpisalo has been the better goalie guys. After watching Nylander look pedestrian for half a season missing camp matters.

[@NoSuccGaming]

The quick commentary on the Sharks was so misguided. They are building their young core around good reliable vets like Toffoli, Granlund, Zetterlund, etc. They will avoid being like Chicago and Buffalo thanks to it too. Granlund likely resigns unless they get offered a 1st for him. This is likely the last year of them being a bottom 3 team and will probably be a bottom 10 one next year with A full year of Askarov and a full development year for our young guys in the NHL. Also a deep D free agent class so if they can sign 1 reliable top 4 D for next season that will go a long way on the rebuild towards a bubble spot in likely 2 years

[@crushdavis7048]

i still think the D Core needs massive work. Thrun and Mukamadullin have looked alright for being young players, and Dickinson will prob be a stud but I feel they need to do major surgery there. Think they need to gear up to make a big trade in the next few years when a legit top D man becomes available.

[@NoSuccGaming]

@crushdavis7048 Ohh 100% I think ultimately thats what keeps them from being a slam dunk playoff team in 3 years. Need to get Schaffer in the draft then sign/ trade for 2 top 4 D to insulate Muk, Schaeffer, Dickinson

I thought Adam liked history. I'm an American and I loved the Mississauga mayor I could have listened to more (this isn't sarcasm). I did a deep dive on Hazel McCallion and she led a fascinating life. I hope you click the Mississauga segment and post it to the channel.

[@iamNotHereB]

She was an awful person and the way she treated homeless people was absurd

[@people3865]

The best part about her was giving her son priority contracts in the city of Sauga. Then when called on it (having awarded him millions in an abuse of power scandal), promptly retiring.

[@rickster_88]

I never lived in Mississauga, but Hazel was popular because she sold land to developers, which helped keep property taxes low. So for decades she sold to developers to build sub divisions and people's taxes remained low. The city is now dealing with the infrastructure issues because of that.

[@people3865]

@@rickster_88 Developer who was her son, not developers. She was just as crooked as the rest

[@vipeholmskolan6052]

The Bruins should have kept Ullmark.

[@philipl8989]

For me the answer for what the Bruins need to do is obvious. If you look at their core, they not that old outside Marchand. So a retool-on-the-fly is the way to go. Try to get younger and a bit more faster. See if they can move out H.Lindholm and Zadorov for younger player, and spend more on forwards. Players they should call on: T.Zegras, A.Romanov, O.Bjõrkstrand, A.Burakovsky, L.Reitchel, Y.Sherangovic and D.Cozens

[@cryptocode88]

I’m so happy that the leafs’ core is now coming into their absolute prime and Tampa/boston are not an issue for any more trauma. I still think Toronto will play Boston in the playoffs but it will be a different outcome for the first time and it will give them a boost they need to continue deeper than ever before!

[@irvblitzer2322]

As a Leafs fan, I don't agree that this team is like 2013, however, their play is concerning. They haven't even really been able too control games against bad teams. When they play really good teams they get outplayed pretty badly. The wins against Dallas and NJ were games where they got dummied on the balance of play but they won. Their analytics are mediocre too bad. It would be nice to see them control play more. If I am a possible wildcard team I would be hoping that the Leafs finish first in the division because they would be the best chance of an upset just based on how they have looked on all round play. Hopefully they figure it out in the second half of the season, but a big problem with their style of play is they dump the puck in so much and they haven't been connected on the forecheck, so they get no sustained O-zone time because teams just go back, make a quick pass, and get out of the zone, this causes the Leafs to get less shots and makes them have to defend more.

[@NickHornstein156]

I don’t think the Blues are going to do anything crazy seeing as their prospects are performing very well and coming up in the next year or 2. Right now it’s all about getting our future leaders, like Kyrou and Thomas, ready to take on those roles and start good habits that can make them good and effective leaders.
