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.

And this relates to BU hockey?????
 
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.
 
Hey I remember 78' blizzard and they still played and people slept in the Garden ) So what's a little snow ? )
 
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?

Now that the patsies will not visit a sb ever again, this shouldn’t be an issue

;^)
 
True that, mookie.

So, I just watched a segment on NECN this morning featuring Billy Baker, a writer at the Boston Globe who wrote a book on how important male friendships are, blah blah blah. Is that....former Terrier hockey player Billy Baker? It looked like him.

Here is the link to my Beanpot attendance google sheet. Not only does there appear to be little correlation between the Superbowl and Beanpot attendance, the only two times since 1985 the Superbowl was before the championship game appears to have had no effect on attendance.

I'm not falling for the BU-BC Charlie Brown football again. I'll get excited when I turn on NESN at 7pm on Friday and there is one hockey team in red and another in white (or baby poop).

I don't recall a BU player named Billy Baker. Jack Baker, yes.

According to his bio, Billy Baker is a graduate of Tulane and the Columbia School of Journalism.

So, not the Bill Baker from the 1980 Olympic Team. Scored the last minute goal to tie Sweden in the opener. Believe he became an oral surgeon.

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

Maybe Bernie will mention it during Friday's broadcast kind of like he's mentioned that Walter Brown Arena is the home of the Terriers this season (without mentioning why it's not Agganis) and that the UMaine men's team is playing only road games this season (but not why). Here's a question, if one player is trying to win the faceoff backwards and the other is trying to win it forward, how do you know who wins the faceoff? :):)
