Who's Gonna Take Lord Stanley?

I started a thread like this last year without much interest, so I thought I'd try again...C'mon, you fellow Canadians!

Who's gonna take the Stanley Cup this year? Amazing that there is such interest in who is going to take the American Idol title, but so little in the Holy Grail of North American Hockey. I'm a rabid Senators fan, so that is where my heart is. They've gotta do it this year!

Obviously the Rangers :D , provided that the officiating discriminating against every team that plays Buffalo (NYR, Islanders, etc.) doesn't continue :angry:

This may not be the same thing, but I am rooting for the Hershey Bears to win the Caulder Cup.

As much as you love your Senators, I probably hate them to the same degree...... <_<

Leave me in a room alone with Alfredsson for 10 minutes...... just 10 minutes, that all I ask...... :angry:

Because I am Canadian and there is only one Canadian team left, I must support Ottawa. I guess that makes me a patriot! LOL

I was hoping for a Calgary-Ottawa final, but since those blasted Red Wings beat them, I ope Ottawa(my 2nd fav team) goes all the way, and will beat Detroit in 5.

That's my Lynne! Unfortunately, the Leafs didn't make the playoffs this year though..... <_<:(

Lynne, you can officially vote for any team except for Ottawa...... If they ever get rid of Alfie, I will start cheering for them again....

Karen -- Got it. However, can't root for anyone in the playoffs now. Has to be the Maple Leafs. If I cast a vote for any other team, my son may disown me!!!!!!! Now I know why he's not interested in the Stanley Cup this year!!!!!

I LOVE hockey! In fact, my birthday present was the NHL Center Ice channels! I, however, am crushed beyond words....my Dallas Stars lost to the Canucks in a very hard fought playoff series.

I've been gone so much I haven't been able to catch any of the games since then, and some of those Dallas games I had to tape and watch in the middle of the night!

My next choice would be the Red Wings.

...Eight goals for Alfie, Karen... ;)

My brother is also a big Leafs fan, (has lived there for many years), and also claims a hatred for the Senators. Now, I know that it is common for Leafs fans to hate us, and Alfie in particular...but why? No one seems to be able to say why Alfie is so despised by Toronto fans. I could see if he were a jerk, a dirty hitter and fighter, or completely lacking talent. But he's the most talented, hardest-working, versatile player perhaps in the world, not to mention a top-notch captain. Why the hatred? Was it that stick incident with his buddy Sundin? Need to know!

...... Ah! Could it be...Jealousy? :P

Anyone but Ottawa!!! I may be Canadian, but sorry. I absolutely cannot stand the Sens. I have 2 exceptions: Heatley and Spezza. Otherwise the rest can kiss my you-know-what. I think it's because they're my division rivals and acted all smart and full of it when we played each other. I'm cheering for Detroit!! (original 6, baby)

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes, some people with celiac disease do seem to deal with frequent infections, especially if they have ongoing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, asthma/allergies, or another immune issue going on. Low vitamin D can also affect immune function, so it would be reasonable to ask your doctor to recheck vitamin D, iron/ferritin, B12, folate, zinc, and possibly...

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Yes, some people with celiac disease do seem to deal with frequent infections, especially if they have ongoing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, asthma/allergies, or another immune issue going on. Low vitamin D can also affect immune function, so it would be reasonable to ask your doctor to recheck vitamin D, iron/ferritin, B12, folate, zinc, and possibly general immune markers if this keeps happening. Also, people with celiac disease can have reduced spleen function, or hyposplenism, which is one reason some celiac organizations recommend pneumococcal vaccination or making sure you are up to date on pneumonia-related vaccines. Since you are getting bronchitis, pneumonia, and frequent colds in your late 20s, I would not just brush it off, especially if symptoms are lingering after a week and a half. It may or may not be directly from celiac, but repeated respiratory infections are worth documenting and discussing with your doctor, and possibly with an allergist/immunologist or pulmonologist.
