@JackieBee_16 The critique is AHS sabotaged government by not ramping up to more beds, that they were too inefficient or non-cooperative or both to get more beds. I have no idea if this is a credible complaint — but that’s what it is.

@Denny_Sawchuk Some of highest functioning healthcare systems in world, mainly in Europe, have far more private delivery and more full private service. Why focus on USA?

As discussed at intermission during on our Habs TSN broadcast, my understanding is Jake Evans and the Canadiens have exchanged numbers on what an extension might look like and they’re not close. Obviously things can change with one phone call, but as of now that makes it more likely Evans gets dealt before the March 7 deadline. Calls from teams asking about Evans have increased lately with the Habs’ slide in the standings.

@HShawndub19 @TheCultofHockey I love the forwards who backcheck. My heroes! I play defense and failed to cover the danger man in the slot. Terrible!

My bet is that most or many of the Oilers, including McD, have been sick with a wicked cold
