LSSU Lakers 2020 off-season thread

Re: LSSU Lakers 2020 off-season thread

Interesting final WCHA schedule. New Year’s Day hockey sounds fun. Maybe not for Huntsville.

Anzalone claimed he was wrongfully fired in 2005. Is that true? Here's a Soo Today article on that subject:

Hard to say. I doubt any of us on here know all the details. You'd have to hear Frank give his side of the story and compare it to the school's side of the story, and then make a judgement based upon that. But even then, there would likely be differences between the two stories so how would you know for sure what the truth was.

Interesting to see the Lakers open up in Alaska the very first weekend of the season. I think the series was going to be played in February but according to Damon on the last Laker Hockey Show, he was unhappy with lots of travel the last month of the season and was looking to get a series moved. I noticed the 3rd weekend of Feburary both the Nanooks and Lakers are idle.

Most likely the Lakers will play at Union Oct 16-17. The weekend before is possible but extremely unlikely because it would be right after the Alaska trip.

Looking at both teams' known schedules, Union plays at Colorado College Oct 16-17 so it won't be that weekend. It'd have to be Oct 9-10 or otherwise it's Thanksgiving weekend or December.

The Lakers play a game vs Notre Dame Thanksgiving weekend so it's not that.

The 9/10 weekend at Union would be possible. Denver last year went from the Alaska series on Saturday/Sunday, flew to Detroit for a few days and then went to the Sault for the series at Lake State. The Lakers could be planning something similar fly back to Detroit after the Alaska series, and make their way over to Union strait from Detroit.

LSSU is planning to start and end the Fall semester earlier than normal for the new school year, and to start and end the Spring semester a little later than normal, with a fairly long mid year break. Face-to-face instruction is planned.

Good news. Hopefully the big U.S flag that was flown on campus gets put back up by then. I was very disappointed when I heard it got taken down.

Also I hope the road that Taffy Abel is on gets fixed and resurfaced as well. Like a lot of Michigan roads, it is garbage.

The flag was taken down when they were working on the cell tower that is in the pole. The last I knew, they were still waiting for the correct parts. IDK if they ever finished the repairs.
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2020 off-season thread

I was reading an article on the Pontiac Silverdome roof collapsing back in 1985 and how the Pistons had to play 15 games at Joe Louis Arena. It had me thinking....what would happen if Taffy Abel Arena was unusable for whatever reason for an extended period of time? Would the Lakers be able to play at the Big Bear Arena or the Pullar Stadium?
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2020 off-season thread

Has a vaccine been developed ? With no vaccine,there will be no sports.

I would assume they'd work out a deal with the city or the tribe and split games at either Big Bear or Pullar.

If the Norris/Taffy could survive December 1995, it can withstand just about anything.

People still get the flu even after getting the flu vaccine. I am sure it would be the same for the Covid-19 vaccine. Vaccines are not cures.

Vaccines also have a lot of crap in them. At any rate, waiting for a vaccine to be developed for the Covid virus (assuming it will still take a year or so as has been projected) before opening things back up to normal would pretty much destroy the economy and country, and would likely result in far more deaths than Covid will.

Look at this weekly update from the CDC on Covid deaths demographically.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

If you click on Table 1 to show the actual counts (instead of just the graph), what you see is that 80% of Covid deaths are for people age 65 and over. Over 92% of deaths are for people age 55 and over. College age deaths are only one tenth of a percent. For every age group in the table, deaths from pneumonia are greater than those from Covid. When I look at this table, I don't see any reason for the state governors to keep things on lock down. Obviously precautions are still necessary, especially for older people, but not lock downs. Businesses should be allowed to reopen. There should be no fear of going back to school.

No one said any vaccine is wrong. Yes, Covid will kill thousands more. So will pneumonia, influenza, etc. despite any vaccines. In fact, if you checked the CDC link, you'll see that pneumonia is killing more people than Covid. The point is that waiting for a vaccine before opening things back up close to normal will do more damage than Covid itself will (if it takes another year to develop a vaccine). It's not exactly new news that vaccines have questionable ingredients in them.

If there are going to be monthly Laker Hockey Talk shows this off-season, this would be the week they normally would start. We'll see.
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2020 off-season thread

Govenor Whitmer has said there might not be fans allowed in college and pro sports arenas this coming season. If that's the case, I can see the Lakers losing enormous amounts of money and folding.
