    • Ferrance isn’t coming back but this team sophomore/freshman class will be a year older.

        Agreed. Transferring now (or more accurately, some time after now) seems pointless. The risk of cancelled games and shut-downs is still very real everywhere. This season is just a one year crap-deal for college hockey, like it has been for all facets of life. Everyone just has to deal with it.

        Most teams should be loaded next year given how many more players will stay that might have otherwise left.

        • Remember when it was making sure the hospital systems don’t get overwhelmed.

          Right now there are not hospital systems overwhelmed anywhere. Maybe in a few parts of CA.

          Now it’s about “Cases.” Healthy people with no symptoms having to pretend they are sick.

          And so much for a once in a century pandemic. The death rate per 100,000 was the same in 2020 as it was in 2005.

            Agreed curiously death rate is the same or less over a decade plus. BC two miles down the road plays all of their games as did the football team this Fall. BU hoops team plays with masks on. Woke U.

              Yup agreed

                • Greenway off to a solid start, leading the Wild in scoring. And Oettinger, after getting a win in his first start a few days ago, came in to relive Khudobin and kept the Canes scoreless the rest of the way. I believe he is scheduled to start tonight.

                  • Given the impending snowpocalypse headed our way tomorrow night, it’s probably a good thing there’s no Beanpot tomorrow night.

                      • I wonder if a year off will help re-kindle overall interest in the event?

                          Not to feed the troll, but what does this even mean?

                          I'd give ANYTHING to go to a Beanpot game in a snow storm tonight. *sigh*

                          • Who the hell knows. I blocked him ages ago because he doesn't think COVID is a big deal. As per the post that was quoted. Sounds to me like he doesn't think asymptomatic people actually have the virus so people shouldn't have to wear masks, be socially distant and stay home if they feel fine. Insert rolling eyes emoji here.

                            Topic - so here's a question. We've had discussions on this board in the past about how the Super Bowl the night before Beanpot Monday has had an adverse effect on the popularity of the tournament - attendance, potential parades conflicting with taking time off for the games, etc. This year, though, the Super Bowl is the day before the championship game. Would that have made any difference this year if COVID wasn't an issue?

                            • So now that the short pause is over, has anybody heard if we will be back on the schedule for this weekend?

                                Do we know that the team is actually off pause? Haven't seen any formal communication.
