Kierstad- might strike while the iron is hot...JBD to me is in the Oshie spot after year 2 (probably could go and succeed, but not screaming I'm too good for college hockey)...MIsmash- not ready, but Nashville will likely want to sign him to avoid the risk of him becoming a free agent next year...

Pooly and Smith will be missed, but with what is coming and with this news...re-loading

Once upon a time this thread was all about the corny. We had insiders in healthcare from various hotspots. I’d like to return to those days. The saddest thing I’m seeing in CA right now is that PPE exists but isn’t getting to the front line staff that need it. Not sure where the breakdowns are happening. We have a wide range of situations across greater LA, with some hospitals full of Corny patients and others with few or none.

Finishing league then, how about that? I just don’t see it as developmental the same way as say college or the CHL.

Wow...that’s just an irrational partisan rant.

I think it’s always about money. Asset inflation has made older Americans wealthy and left younger Americans staring at a huge chasm to afford what they considered a nice middle class life. That’s the genesis. They were also sold a bill of goods on “do what you love” and go to your “dream school”...then they realize that the life they wanted in NY or Boston or SF or LA meant they have to make $300k per year...Remember $117k is poverty line in San Francisco... so I agree it’s a generation war. There is no solution though without destroying a ton of “wealth”

Does anyone really care that much about who is President and what party they belong to? Sadly, it appears so. Appearance is the key word though, because to me it appears that no matter who is the head of the executive branch, nothing really changes but appearances. I mean we all have philosophical bias, but how philosophy becomes policy....well... I guess if you are on the government dole it might matter, but to the rest of us, it doesn’t really make a difference...my daily life doesn’t change...maybe everyone’s life has become so easy that the only thing to bitch about is the federal government. Just do yourselves a favor and don’t watch your entertainment news all day. It only makes things worse.

Back to the corny...going to be a long April. The thing with the markets, money is like a drunk teenage sailor on shore leave- it’s looking for any action it can find, and it will find it. Once business starts opening up again, the markets will have a huge rally as that money sitting on the sidelines will be looking for action. If businesses can survive the next 2-3 months...just survive...things will turn. Positive thoughts for the day!

Agree, and If JBD wants to skate next to Chabot, he needs another year of seasoning. Pinto’s game totally translates to NHL too...that punishing style though will take a toll on the body over 82+ games...better to build it up in college another year. It is not a race, it’s a process, and the NHL and AHL are not development leagues. They are finished product leagues.

Totally agree. The best athletes don’t need all those reps early. It is too much. I already see it with my 9 year old’s peers. After a major tryout a dad asked me in private how many hours per week we trained. I said structured we did 2 hours of team practice, 1/2 hour of on ice group skills, 1/2 hour of on-ice individual skills, and 1 hour of off-ice quickness and agility training (non- hockey specific)/ week during the season plus whatever game(s) is on the calendar. Then he screws around with buddies or in the garage on his own, but I don’t count unstructured, as that is truly playtime. He shook his head realizing the error of his ways and said “well that’s why my kid didn’t show as well, the child is exhausted. We have him doing 15+ hours/week structured.” My jaw dropped. gotta keep it fun and keep them from burning out.

I heard R Kelly is scared of it...he was cool with covid 15 or 16 though

This isn’t about the Chinaman, dude

In all seriousness, this !@#!$ time for Sioux hockey and for the economy and for people’s health...glad I’ve been able to bs with all of you or at least most of you. We’ll get through this.

I feel like our family is closer and we’re at 20 days...

Payers already being asked to provide cash advances and emergency cash flow. ICU beds are expensive to staff...and yes a lot of high margin procedures are being postponed or canceled.

And then 2 more and then 2 more and then 2 more? LOL

It’s the corny damit!

Are you going to stream it on Facebook live? in all seriousness, being in CA, I almost forgot about the timing of this in ND/Minny- after enduring the long, dark days of winter.

Corny don’t care, corny don’t givashit I think expectation management has been poor, because people didn’t have enough info. CA has been predicting clearing the hump fully by Memorial Day.

I think the best players play regardless of how much their heart is into a particular sport. Multiple sports are good for young athletes, reduce injuries, fuel passion for the sport they love. Keep them busy, making more and different friends, and staying in shape while learning different skills. summer off means different things too...completely off? That takes away some great opportunities. I do say mostly off most years. Meaning less structure, but still doing a tournament or a camp or two. Always good to be doing unstructured stuff with buddies. As long as they are staying active is what really matters-,swimming, biking, skateboarding, tennis, baseball- you name it.

I’ve decided to nickname the disease “the corny virus”. The “corny” for short.

Right...they clearly have on masks and Face shields and scrubs...then they have added the garbage bag toga...

Not an early departure, but the NCHC loses a great player to graduation and to the Boston Bruins. Congrats to Jack Ahcan!

Honestly, I haven’t heard about any significant shortage in CA at the moment...and I would hear directly. Projections for possibly...hence the production ramp up. AND not every person in care delivery needs full Coronavirus gear... this has become so political, everybody has their wants, needs and wishlists... im not watching any “news” media. It’s all complete garbage. Absolute and complete. Oh, and we have the most advanced healthcare on the planet. We don’t stock up with tons of bio hazard gear, because we are the first world.

I love NYC, I worked there in my younger days. There are many aspects of that city that have third world characteristics
