31,000 girls between ages 18-22 on the OSU campus who have never seen a hockey player?

Since we haven’t tested with scale we don’t know what the denominator is. So today‘s statistics are almost meaningless. Some states have tested less than 5 symptomatic individuals, mostly due to lack of resources. As of 5 days ago Ohio (population of 11.5 million) had performed 10 tests. Looking at the eastern map, WV is about the only state without reported infection, but they’ve run only 3 tests. With the newly available kits we will get a realistic view over the next month. It may be overblown but we don’t know, but as we know this is about rate of acceleration and early exhaustion of medical resources which can kill an economy (and people). The history of pandemics shows there are only small windows of opportunity. Not that big a deal to let a college extend spring break using Zoom technology, and let the traveling up to 6,000 international, plus vacationing domestic students, essentially put themselves on loose home confinement. We have a great hockey team. Keep working hard.

Ohio State suspends in-person classes until at least March 30. 68,000 students

True But any cancellation of attendance to sporting events are about the big picture, not the relatively few in attendance. This is about the rate of acceleration. If there is a rapid escalation nationwide, medical staffs are woefully under-equipped with respirators, masks, goggles hazmat suits, quarantine rooms, cleaning resources, and trained staff. The system could be quickly overwhelmed and life would get hard for everyone from both a healthcare and economic standpoint. We don’t even have the means to collect or test samples in large numbers yet. A million kits available isn’t the same as being able to collect and test a million samples. . If you have a fever most physician offices don’t allow you in the door. One positive patient might shut down the office. Fevers are now sent to the ER. ER’s are forced to send you home, if you are lucky you get a test. In a few weeks it may not be an option to be hospitalized with pneumonia. Each time a healthcare worker gets sick we are down a man. There Is a long list of weak links in the chain so we need to keep the rate of acceleration low. It’s fine for large numbers of a healthy demographic to put themselves at risk, until they contribute to a rapid nationwide spread and put everyone’s jobs and lives at risk. No economy can handle a prolonged shutdown. We get a handle on this early or not at all. This is bigger than individuals, sometimes in this country we all come together with self sacrifice for everyone’s sake. Men go to war to keep their people healthy and employed. Proactively trying not to spread a new virus is not a big a sacrifice. See the results of the 1957 and 1968 pandemics, knowing this virus might be a much tougher foe. Maybe a little caution is warranted.

Let’s go boys

The warm ones for sure. Definitely Tampa or Miami where there are things to do.

Yes, Tampa or Miami. If Miami it might take a few days to round up the team for the flight home.

Anything after “Sioux” was going to suck for most people, it’s very understandable. Frankly, all mascot names are a little lame, depending on perspective. But what’s truly lame is fans at games yelling nothing at all.

That works, an armistice of sorts for the sake of players, fun, duty, country, and more fun. Rather than everyone focusing on dueling mascots that realistically nobody will agree on until most of us are dead, have a couple cheers we can agree on. After all we’re there for a good time. Maybe Berry should make the appeal. Anything to ramp things up. I have my own personal opinion of the mascot thing, but what the hell difference does it make. I’ll yell both cheers as long as the place is loud. Help a brother out for goodness sake!

Maturity and leadership. One hotheaded penalty is all it takes to derail an entire championship season. Discipline and focus, this team seems to have it.

JBD looking for the low odds it hits the jackpot. Not sure what to think of that.

Would be nice to have some kind of agreement that when scoreboard or cheerleaders says Hawks everyone joins. When a separate Sioux chant starts, everyone joins. I honestly believe that would go a long way but it would take someone like team captains making Twitter requests for cooperation. It would elevate the building imo. Doesn’t really matter what people say as long as it’s fans, not the DJ, who control the happy level. I attended 79’-82’. Seems almost unfair to current students to miss all the fun. Might take the old guys to figure this out.

Asking for a friend, Does the whole Sioux/Hawks thing keep the crowd out of it a bit? Can’t agree on cheers etc, won’t yell “Sioux”, or won’t yell “Hawks“? Last time I was in ND was Feb 14, 2014. Girlfriend and I flew across the country to introduce her to UND hockey and ask her to marry me. The game with DU was a tie but the building was undeniably quiet compared my years. I wanted to start a section chant but yelling either name seemed awkward.

In the article: common denominator in every arena the students are standing. If I were 19 and forced to sit I’d bring the laptop.

Strong defensive gets W’s for this team. I’ll take low scoring wins anytime. Last two wins 6 total goals scored. Last two losses 20 goals scored We will see how the season goes but right now Berry is the MVPerson

Haven’t live in GF in decades but in the eastern US they associate GF mostly with top notch aviation. It seems natural to exploit GF’s unique lead over other cities to offer facilities, educational opportunities, and knowledge to a multitude of high tech and innovative private and government aviation and aerospace projects. A trade delegation and a lobby group might be useful.

I always figured guys who hit iron a lot are just good shooters 2” from a perfect shot, whereas shooting into numbers drives me crazy. I think Ovechkin lead the league in posts one year and I read that at one time Stamkos was the all time leader. Or maybe they just shoot a lot, I dunno

I’m not sure we were disrupted so much as we chose to play a game which was better suited to beat UMD. Except for one really bad shift it was UMD who looked disrupted. We now beat UMD 70% of the time in a four period game. Our guys have proven they can beat anyone’s game by adapting ours. That takes commitment, desire, brains, coaching, and players buying in. The staff came up with a game plan after Friday and the players executed. This weekend showed we are much more than good players.

Berry gets some kudos

Great game well done guys

Which would make them almost irrelevant. Hope we don’t see them the rest of the regular season

We win with either goalie tonight. UMD is good; we have better players. I think Berry takes advantage of the talent and is overall more conservative. The defensemen play smart, position, channel, communicate and we win a great boring game by 2-3
