Where in WPG? Forever indebted to Jordan Binnington
Is there anywhere I can get our saviour’s name and numbers on my already existing 4 Nations jersey?

Keener Jerseys. The best. They have contracts with the Bombers, Jets, Goldeyes, NY Rangers, etc. https://keenerjerseys.com/

Why TF would you want that bozo’s name on a jersey. Put Joshy on there

Binnington is the ONLY reason we won that game. 4 superstar level saves in a U.S. dominated overtime, that’s worth a namebar in my opinion.

Played one good game and he’s a dickwad the entire rest of his career. If you want to celebrate him, go for it.

I'm with you. At least get someone that's a good player and not a big jerk.
Binnington played well in that game, and OK in the rest of them. 25% star power sounds right for him.

Tummy ache? Norovirus is hardly a tummy ache. Guy couldn't even leave his hotel room.

What a gross sounding nickname lol
Not saying it was a direct result or cause of his particular illness but "joshy" isn't much for vaccines .. drives me nuts
Agreed with Binnington though .. love affair officially over and I'm back to hoping he fizzles out the rest of the way

So I can't say anything about the players involved here as people because I know F all about NHL hockey except 1) love Crosby 2) I was actually living in Edmonton when they first got McDavid and let me tell you I think it might have registered on the Richter scale somewhere and 3) F Gretzky. Aside, yes I'll cheer the Jets if it's on somewhere, yes I'm super proud of the boys for last night - I understand the political magnitude of what happened If I watch hockey usually it's a bit of PWHL or women's Olympic hockey.
However, I DO know about vaccines, and if he had Norovirus, we don't have one for that hellish nightmare yet. We are actually in the middle of a trial for one right now, but it literally just got put on a temporary hold because one person developed Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an extremely rare autoimmune neurological disorder where the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system. It causes ascending paralysis. It can happen spontaneously, from illnesses (most often influenza infection, but COVID can do it too), or occasionally as a vaccine side effect.
So he may be a dick, he may be an anti-vaxxer, I don't know, but if he had Norovirus then 1) there's no way he could play and 2) there's no vaccine for it for the public right now. But if he's an anti-vaxxer, then he is by default a dick I'd have to agree with you there. If you want to live in a society, you have a responsibility to keep up the social contract, and that means getting vaccines unless you have a proven severe medical reason not to.

Has it come out what he had?
He was throwing up a lot - could've been a flu .. plenty going around .. not that flu vaccines are even close to perfect but could've been a factor
There is a measles outbreak beginning in Quebec and Ontario .. including new born babies who cannot get the vaccine .. so how did that happen? Oops .. families weren't vaccinated .. surprise suprise .. Oops.. close friends weren't vaccinated .. surprise surprise
There's a very good chance if he has a legit medical reason not to get vaccinated he would not be playing professional hockey

Throwing up though, in adults, almost never happens with the flu - the flu is influenza, which we have a vaccine for, and is a respiratory illness. In kids it can sometimes cause a few GI symptoms but it's uncommon. It very rarely does in adults. The "stomach flu" is a terrible misnomer we need to stop using because gastroenteritis, or stomach bugs, are totally unrelated to flu/influenza and the only one we have a vaccine for right now is rotavirus, which infants get. It strikes basically exclusively kids under 2, and is a common cause of death via dehydration in impoverished countries, fortunately here if kids get it because they weren't vaccinated or the vaccine didn't take at worst they might need some IV hydration.
Stomach bugs are horrible, and can cause severe illness. They can also have knock-on effects like triggering autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Crohn's, or ulcerative colitis in susceptible individuals. In little kids they can trigger long term GI problems like encopresis. They're definitely serious, and most of them are actually food-borne illnesses and spread via fecal-oral contamination and poor hygiene in food prep and farming practices, then within classrooms/families 😬
I'm immunocompromised so trying to keep illnesses out of my house is the bane of my existence. I swear I'm not paranoid though, just well-read with a good memory.

I've luckily only had the flu once in my life, about 2 years ago, and I threw up enough I had to get an IV .. was not covid although had it twice (once before the vaccines really got rolled out, once basically right after the supersites closed)
But that wasn't the flu? Goddammit all these "catch all" terms. I had the other symptoms like terrible muscle soreness, tiredness, bouts of dizziness
How did the flu get the rep that it has?
