Hockey East 2020-2021

[The Zlax45]

UVM has another outbreak. As I said yesterday I desperately want the season to happen but as far as I can tell the unbelievable level of incompetence is going to hold that back. If BC football can go all this time with no positives zero excuses for all the teams in Hockey East.

Actually the pause in UVM Athletics was out of caution. https://uvmathletics.com/news/2020/...elay-in-return-to-play-until-december-18.aspx

The last two outbreaks have to do with the teams.

One Positive tests between Men's and Women's Hoops https://uvmathletics.com/news/2020/...-womens-basketball-pause-team-activities.aspx
Four positive tests on Men's Hockey https://uvmathletics.com/news/2020/...rmont-mens-hockey-pauses-team-activities.aspx

Anyway back to Hockey East
UMass, BC and UConn are playing and have so far played at least two games each.

UVM, NU, UML, and Maine are not playing right now but hope to later. They have made announcements postponing various amounts of time.

BU, UNH, PC and Merrimack are maybe playing but haven’t played anyone yet and also have not announced formally they aren’t playing.

Do I have all that right?

Holy Cross women's team is also shutdown https://goholycross.com/news/2020/1...ctivities-paused-weekend-series-canceled.aspx

see, you use the wink but those of us who have been around the block know you don't mean it and you meant the slur. Grow up.

What "slur" are you referring to? Sorry, but there are literal Nazi's in the Republican Party

A lot happened here in one day. You miss too much when working. This country is in more trouble than ever with 47% morons and another 47% looking for handouts. ...I will not feel the need to respond on this topic anymore. You have your opinions and I have mine.

I know the end times are upon us when I find myself agreeing with BC guys.

Yeah and rashida talib and ilhan Omar are just lovers of the Jewish people ... there are your real
nazis and racists

You know how when someone goes out for a voyage on a lake, river or ocean, they'll usually want to at least have a nautical chart (or better yet sonar, if your vessel is larger or more technologically advanced) to warn of things that might be lurking just under the surface?



I've seen/heard this long, boring movie before, so I'm out. But my sonar is pinging like crazy now.

Just sayin' ...

Sorry you're so intimidated by an actual honest debate Chuck. But, you've literally been avoiding that since late April.

You're entitled to that opinion but their comments -- which I have criticized by the way -- are not the same as some of the crap that Stephen Miller has spouted. Not even close. The difference is, I've never seen anyone who at least seems to be right of center and has at least shown signs of support of Trump or Republican policies (you guys all say you never voted for him, yet he somehow managed to get 70 million votes) ever criticize anything anyone from that side of the isle says that's racist or bigoted.

So we've gone from talking about playing hockey in a pandemic to talking about Nazis in the Republican Party. What a stunning, totally unpredictable development!

A lot happened here in one day. You miss too much when working. This country is in more trouble than ever with 47% morons and another 47% looking for handouts. We have an outgoing philanderer President that is without character being replaced by another philanderer without character.

To respond to some earlier statements: I have never been a Republican, used to be a Democrat but since they don't believe in the proven science of human life and castigate anyone who does they have lost me. So much for all their phony science talk. I am pro-life 100% which means opposing the death penalty, supporting the poor, against embryonic stem cell research, favor immigration amnesty for those who come to our borders oppressed but not open borders insanity, promote life through it's only natural way marriage between a man and a woman as well as opposed to abortion in any sense. I have always and still do find pro-choice Republicans worse than pro-choice(perhaps now all) Democrats. Liberals(those expressing pro-choice demands especially) have used very hateful rhetoric towards us and many choose to just stay quiet about it because who wants to be called names. There are many who feel this way and don't respond to polls because of it. It is hard to argue with someone who is 'always right' too. Their facts are just that, their facts and are not always correct but they never allow for other facts to be heard. They always suppress them.A

As for masks, the only effective mask with an active Covid person in the area is a properly fitted N95. You are fooling yourself otherwise. Getting fitted for one takes perhaps a half hour or so. That's how long my wife had to be properly fitted with one. There are those who think asymptomatic people are high risk and those who think they are low risk for passing it on. I tend to believe they are low risk and are not responsible for the outbreaks whereas actively sick people are the real dangers. I have seen this from about a year of experience not from some so called experts that may or may not have an agenda.

I will not feel the need to respond on this topic anymore. You have your opinions and I have mine.

First, I was raised and still a practicing Catholic. However, the church needs to evolve on it's current stance on abortion, especially in the case of rape and incest. I truly respect your opinion. However, I have a transgender child and I promise you he/she didn't choose that route. I'm pretty sure I haven't called anyone any names or been overtly disrespectful. I know I'm not always right. Heck, I've proven it by basically switching my whole political perspective 180 degrees. If that's not acknowledging you're not always right, I don't know what else is

As for masks; yes, an N95 is the most effective. However, literally EVERY significant health safety body at the state, national, and world-wide level is saying wearing at least a surgical or other 3 layer mask significantly reduces risk, especially if an individual is able to socially distance in any possible way. As for your opinion that asymptomatics' are at low risk of infecting others, can you link to any articles or comments from anyone with legitimate credibility in this area to support your belief? Also, please show some kind of proof that "experts" like Fauci or Osterholm have any kind of political agenda. I'm sorry but, because I've been unemployed since last March and, understanding my risk of infection and/or serious disease from the virus is critical if I return to work, I've read as much as any layman could have about the virus, I've never read anything from either of those two or, any other experts that indicates any "agenda" other than maximizing public health and reducing the amount of unnecessary and preventable spread/hospitalizations/deaths.

You have a transgender child and just referred to them as he/she

Fair enough. I didn’t include any women’s teams in my thinking cause the school I root for doesn’t have a women’s D1 team.

I think the PC women have played at least one game against BC (making the fact that the men pulled out against playing last week more confusing).

This would be a good thread to talk hockey
Let's see if we can get it back on track
The national team selected yesterday has 21 college players including 10 from hockey east
One from Providence was not even invited to tryout camp- Since Nate Leaman is coach did he have final say
Both BU and BC will be without top goalies
Only difference is Knight will be primary goalie while Commesso probably being groomed for next year
Six Massachusetts p;ayers is a boost- followed closely by California with 5

What a great idea!!! Let's give it a shot.

The Comm Ave Axis will not be the only ones without top goalies. NU will be without highly hyped freshman goalie Devon Levi, who is in the Canadian camp.

Massachusetts youth hockey has been in decline for some time so nice to note that with six players chosen, something positive is finally happening.

It's the individual's choice. I have transgender friends, most of whom are adults and most use they/them, and the rest use he/she. It's none of my business except to treat them civilly.

Wolf is very good also...goaltending is the strength of this team.

Oh I meant that if the person wishes you use he/she you would call them he OR she not he/she

But anyway...

 

[Chuck Murray]

I see you folks have now seen/read why my sonar was pinging so loudly yesterday.

I'll give the little socialist tool some props ... he has me siding with BC fans almost regularly now.

Quite an accomplishment, in and of itself. End of days must indeed be nigh ...

Looks like BC is playing Providence this weekend now. Zlax extremely disappointed over this development and will no doubt be ready to call Charlie Baker if Jerry York's mask slips under his nose during the game.

There was no reports of positive cases on PC's or BC's team so why were the games PPD last week? We will see if the games end up happening as we know things change within hours of puck drop this season.
