In a few years we will all have had this virus. Stopping it has never been the goal. Slowing it so as not to overburden the system with extreme cases is the goal. In that way we minimize death toll.
in the meantime, just lay low and please don’t go to the doctor with cold and flu symptoms. It isn’t cancer, early diagnosis will not save your life.
Please stop exercising rational thought and common sense. In a time like this neither are appropriate. The world is ending and nothing will ever be the same.
I forgot - Go get a couple years worth of toilet paper. It's your only hope of survival.

NCAA shuts it down. No tournament.

Nowhere near this panic
And the administration at the time (2009) was VERY slow to do anything (which may or may not have been the appropriate reaction). Just another indication of how this stuff is reported and judged.

Odds the games are played this weekend? If the NCHC is going to cancel for next week, there isn't much of a reason to play the games this week. (I know they would impact PWR, but that is kinda out the window at the moment...)

The NCAA tournament games are being held without fans. I have not heard anything from the NCHC regarding their tournament.
You don't need to be Nostradamus to see what's coming here.

Until I hear from the NCHC, I am not changing my plans. They better make a decision on that this week.
The decision they are making now is to have it without fans or cancel it all together. Fans in attendance seems a distant 3rd place of the 3 options.

It's interesting to see the different views on this situation. I tend to believe this is overblown, but at the same time, the numbers and situation in Italy, and the death rate, are not good.
It's so much harder to have a grasp on this stuff when everything is politicized. Can you trust the media or the administration? I try to trust common sense, but even that is tough to keep with the constant bombardment of crap from all sides...

At least we aren't hosting a regional this year.

The article doesn't say in the least that 20% won't recover. That is a 100% misread.

Get out and enjoy your #1 ranked team this weekend. It will be the last time you see them play live.
It is definitely looking that way.

To that end, Rick Santelli on CNBC said people should have corona parties like some folks do with the chickenpox. Get everyone infected and get it over with.
He immediately had to give a heartfelt apology...

That's a very odd graph.
Or is it likely fake?
Because "without protective measures" this "pandemic" ends before it would otherwise "with protective measures."
It makes sense. Instead of everyone getting it at once, it's spread out. If it's more spread out it's more manageable. Instead of 100 people showing up at the DMV at the same time, 2 come in each hour...

The fatality rate in the older age brackets is pretty sobering if accurate. The influenza death rate for 65+ is .5 % per CDC. This is around 10%. The Italy death rate is very high, but who knows at this point if the denominator is anywhere close to being accurate. I assume it isn't.
If the the same number of people contracted this as the estimated number that get the flu (35m), it would not be good.
I guess there isn't a playbook on how to handle this sort of issue, and at what potential body count you draw the line to shut stuff down. Seems silly to cancels these events, but if it saves 100 lives is it worth it? 10,000? 100,000?

At least he beat back the coasting 2nd D, just didn’t get him tied up. ( the same d man who was just getting back into the zone on goal 4)
Regroup and come out hot tomorrow.

Okay now go do this exercise with GF youth hockey rosters and come back.
It’s unbelievably scary how loaded that towns pipeline is. GF will continue to dominate with a sprinkle of Fargo and Bismarck snagging champions every once in awhile.
Judging by GF youth hockey strength, it’s unfortunately looking like they’re going to get even more dominant before they’re going to get caught up with or passed by anyone.
Fargo has the numbers to put together some teams that’ll beat them every now and then, but through and through GF just breeds hockey players. It’s all that town has (tennis doesn’t count).
When is the last time GF didn't have the best Bantam team in the state? The Aviators are down this year from their usual standard.

The slash was not on the blade, but it did end there as the blade is typically at the bottom end of a stick.

The WMU player was dropping to a knee to get low anticipating a pass to one-time at the net. He was moving in a straight line prior to getting hit. The green tinted glasses are in full effect on this one.

Draw a line on the movement of the WMU player at 30 seconds in that video from the circle to contact with the goalie. He’s moving in a straight line which would be outside the crease. He’s checked by Gooch and his momentum changed by almost 90 degrees.
I’m not complaining, but it’s concerning that the season could end on one of these BS calls which seem to happen frequently. Thankfully the Friday call didn’t end up mattering. The Saturday call may keep western out of the playoffs.
-
In the overhead angle you can see that the WMU player was not even going to enter the crease. He would have been a good 2 ft outside the crease. Scheel was obviously 100% interfered with and had no chance, but the WMU was pushing into him.
-
Both no goals were the wrong call, but I can’t believe they took away WMU’s goal last night.
I was upset the UND goal was disallowed. I would have been absolutely furious if the WMU no-goal had happened to UND. I was surprised that Andy M. kept it together as well as he did.

I think this year is an outlier with the west. Just last year century was right there with an elite central team, and I think they’ll be right back on track again next season. High and minot will certainly be better next year as well.
Don’t laugh at me, but as long as Bott doesn’t lose anyone, they should be a top 3 team in the west for once...they don’t lose an ounce from this year to next.
In the West you can be very competitive with one good line, and Bott should have that next week. Bott's been a top half team not long ago with basically just that Aide line.

Davies 6, Bismarck Century 0
Fargo South-Shanley 9, Minot 1
Grand Forks Red River 8, Jamestown 2
Grand Forks Central 7, Bismarck, 1EAST - 30, West 4
The talent level gap between the East and West is pretty ridiculous right now!
And frankly, it probably could have been worse if some of the East teams wanted to pile on.
The margin for error is much smaller in the West. You need 5-6 quality players in each class to have a solid team with some depth. The top Eastern teams are able to absorb losing a few high end players. Outside possibly Bismarck, and a lesser extend Minot, the loss of a couple players is too much to overcome for the other schools in the West to be at all competitive.

The average age for a college hockey senior who played 2-3 years of junior hockey is 24.
I believe the 24 year old stat is correct. The average age when a player COMMITS to a college team is 18.9. The kids that accelerate or don't play juniors post-HS age are typically higher draft picks that aren't frequently playing as seniors in college.

What are everyones thoughts on this a year later? Same problems, different year? Do you think the state will ever consider it, or is it a wasted conversation?
This is probably the most parity in many years. It won't be a huge shock to have any of the top (4) teams in the East win it this year. Too bad the West is so down this year. It will likely be a sweep for the East in the opening round.
I wouldn't be surprised if the East has pretty good parity for a few years. The GF Bantam teams this year are definitely a step below their typical level of play and domination.

...and it would be awkward for teams to make the decision if they would want some of the seniors for another year instead of deferring, and possibly losing, incoming players.
