Maybe Sid is just storing nuts for the winter?



/Go Flames Go, gotta end this slide.

 

[Comeds]

Maybe Sid is a Skoal man!

Yeah, something looks wrong with Crosby, could explain his cold streak as of late (2 pts. in the last 5 games)

Looks more like the Oilers' recent record than Crosby's line.

I know he's been sick about a week. I don't know how that's not mumps...it looks very muchso like the mumps. I suppose you can have a blocked/inflamed salivary gland without it being the mumps?

Bruised by the dong of Pierre?

I've made myself sick.

Now watch Crosby go out tonight and get a hat trick against the Flames...

 

[pixburgher66]

Oh, he will...because no one will check him.

Ok.

Am I missing something with all the players getting the mumps?

Do they not administer the MMR vaccine in Canada?

Please tell me Jenny McCarthyism isn't overrunning Canada too.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

If it's possible he has the mumps he really shouldn't fuck around with it. It's not that bad unless you let it go, then it can lead to a lot of complications, like going sterile.

How can people question the Penguins medical staff, I mean isn't this the same staff that cleared Crosby to return to the lineup shortly after the hit from David Steckl?

Hopefully, the mumps miss you.

Do they not administer the MMR vaccine in Canada?

Yes, they do, but it is not mandatory to have your kids vaccinated.

Unfortunately, Oprah + Jenny > medical doctors + research.

Just an FYI that I've learned from all of this: the mumps vaccine wears off as you age. So boosters should happen, but it's likely a lot of these guys DID have the vaccine as a kid.

Yeah, I remember getting booster shots in high school, pix.

I was vaccinated, so I'm good.

Is the vaccinating not even mandatory when sending the kids to school? It goes state-by-state here, but in general the MMR is required to enroll the kids in public schools - and many private also - unless the parents sign a religious waiver. Some states/districts don't even allow for those if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think so, there's been a huge increase in measles cases in the lower mainland of BC over the last few years because people are "assuming" that every other kid is getting vaccinated, so the logic is my kid should be covered.

And the same staff that cleared Letang after Pacioretty concussed him.

Yeah, a misappropriation of herd immunity. We hear about that from time to time also.

It's great for kids who CAN'T have the vaccine because of other medical conditions. If only people have enough common sense though.
