If the season does wind up shortened by any amount, are us center ice subscribers entitled to a refund of some sort? Personally I think this whole thing falls under the Forest Gump “it happens” label and we’re SOL, but I wonder if they’ll do anything.

One other thing was lost in that initial post. If the overal mortality rate is 1%, but it’s 12-18% in the elderly, that means the mortality rate in non-elderly is less that 1%. The numbers need to average out. So while we do need to take action to protect the elderly, the rest are probably taking a greater risk doing certain every day risks like driving.

The recommendation on how the general public should use masks does not apply to everyone. Those with impaired immune function, in this case people who have recently recovered from cancer treatment, are not the general public. They do need to protect themselves more than the average person.

It's a completely different story for someone with compromised immune system.

Why would you lose the power for an extended period of time?

Give me your money. I'll take care of everything.

So even though he already had the stunning girlfriend, Novotny stole matter's co-worker's GF too? Some things just aren't fair.

People are going to look. That's just the way it is. We're not used to seeing those mask around very often.

Just wait until they realize that pitch forks are the number 1 method of transmission.

You got screwed!?

So did you go to that game or not?

Italy's calling the shots now?

To weave? Yes, he's a good dude.

Seriously folks, stop responding.

We are definitely not lacking in sources of entertainment in this day and age. If the common medical advise is to cut back on contact between people as much as possible, having teams of 20 men traveling around two countries, hitting each other, and sweating all over each other probably isn't a great idea with or without an empty arena. Entertaining us isn't a good enough reason to force them out there.

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting any snake oil in these posts. It just made me thing of all the other things that have and will be thrown out there that aren't based in reality.

I initially read the caption as "stick goal" and thought "aren't most of them stick goals?". And on another note, I always hated the weird midsection of those Ottawa jerseys.

Especially with the slap shots. That mixes even better with the previously mentioned driveway in need of repair.

And now people will start blindly eating berries they picked off the ground. This should be fun. That's the real adventure in situations like this one, there's a decent proportion of our population that will believe anything they read*. You can very easily convince a good number of people to drink bleach to kill of the virus. Just listening in on some of the random conversations I've come across over the last few days, so many people are parroting stories that are complete works of fiction. A quick example was this saturday I got to listen to a customer telling a Costco cashier that the olympics were just canceled. *Don't read this as a shot at the current topic. I'm just speaking very generally.

For me all I can think of is how pucks and driveways never mixed... too much friction

They have standings, even if they're incomplete. Due to the uneven number of games played, they'd probably convert it to points per game, but they have plenty of games to use to determine draft order... and seeding for an abbreviated playoff schedule.

Here's what I don't understand. A lot of people around here officially started working from home today, but yet traffic this morning was the worst it's been in a while. It makes no sense.

How is Jets-Oilers drawing you to a french broadcast? I think canine Ovie likes the slap shots even more than junior.
