  1. well actually that has occurred well before today for me but thanks for your day counting anyway (by your count, happened almost 1/2 an eternity ago)
  2. and i am happy to report that my wish to dine out occasionally at my favourite places is again restored the feedback i received when i expressed this desire around a month ago did not prevent this reality from happening small comforts have been realized and the infection rate in bc has continued to go down am still baffled how that could possibly have have happened
  3. right so you are suggesting we stop using our brains and parse the details of what is known about this virus so we can make intelligent decisions about our health and activities and instead cloak our lives in a solid mantel of fear? this thread is so polarized the internet is becoming silly fear mongering is the rule for so many the person you are responding to simply quoted a reliable source and you believe you know better?? amazing
  4. so you discovered where they are holding alf i see
  5. there is very limited current sports happening so the stations are scrambling to fill air time they have very little to offer at present i tune in briefly from time to time but sports radio is basically irrelevant
  6. can't really blame him can you? i mean he probably read these boards and saw someeone proposed baertschi as a european scout at 1.6 or something million per year so i'm sure judd wanted 2 million minimum cuz what does sven know about scouting anyone know of any scout on any nhl team who is even paid half a million ? not sure what all the excitement is about anyway he's a scout who wants to be much more the nucks organization does not have room for what his hopes are let's all wish him good luck maybe he'll find another organization that believes in him as much as he does and as much as many others on here do i think he is a fine asset but overhyped hope he finds the right fit and prospers
  7. so i have been out of the loop was markstrom re-signed? didn't hear anything about that so i checked.. and ... no so the team will trade it's only under contract nhl goalie? cuz? why?? when?? alrighty then i'm sure marky is thrilled how about he asks for 6 x 7.5 years with a nmc what's the team gonna do when demko is gone? let marky walk as an ufa? what leverage does the team have? none marky has it all so yeah, marky is fully behind this proposal why would the team do this??? i mean really? why??
  8. that is merely hype and you are buying into it so it is working
  9. wow you are reading a lot into my posts manipulation? seriously? i give up take care deb i don't need this sort of nonsense
  10. i only appreciate that he is a freak he does not really interest me i am more traditional in my sporting interests i wish to see the best in pro sports not the wannabees masquerading sports as entertainment
  11. man this discussion is silly i get it that many wish to live from a fear perspective i am knowledgeable about the risks and will take appropriate precautions the thing about safety and security is to maintain the same standards in every aspect of life or life becomes distorted i get it the virus is a new thing but no one lives with other risks in life the way some propose to deal with this virus keep perspective please i'm out
  12. people bringing food would wear masks, gloves etc who brings food to other patrons? my server.. well see the line above this one other patrons are going to purposely sneeze in my direction on their way to and from the bathroom? man people have become dramatically over cautious about the world do you even dare to drive i wonder ? take the appropriate safety steps and live your life with some degree of richness please not from a perspective of fear and paranoia
  13. nice not sure why they would need to be replaced if patrons were told to not touch them
  14. well i tend to sit by myself not sure where those droplets might come from ? imaginary villians who might pass by my table to purposely sneeze on me ?
  15. i think i might assess first if they are wearing a mask or not and base any measures i take on that not immediately jump to the most extreme response
  16. holy drama do you even know how the virus spreads ? i guess you do not even go out for grocery shopping ?
  17. so when are restaurants reopening with appropriate distancing measures in place ?
  18. the real issue is and it is the issue the caps addressed is that other players would no longer want him as a team mate he is corrosive to the notion of team building i read a post that if ovi had done the same thing all would be ok i doubt that i think ovi would have been traded sens went through team destructive social issues and ended up moving both players involved i know i would not want a player who did these things as my team mate if that person denigrated people who were most important to me personally there would be a lot of practice fights if he stayed
  19. and you'd put money on that? i know i wouldn't he'll end up fighting other aging fighters only who are also grasping to stay relevant this whole thing is not serious boxing but primarily entertainment so if that is where your sports interest lie.. then i guess you are happy
  20. man smacks of a bit of desperation age is undefeated his recovery during breaks between rounds will lag far behind every other younger opponent he may face he simply is not as strong and nimble as younger fighters his fights will need to be short or he will not survive them and everyone will know this but i guess there is entertainment value in seeing him box again i mean, the rocky films did pretty well
  21. not sure there is a right way the current approach is clearly impacted by the assumption that treatments and vaccines are coming soon i do acknowledge that the outlook on these developments has been overly optimistic so far there is one promising treatment/medication currently... others appear to be viable soon but this approach could take the same course (and time) as successful treatment has taken for hiv and a virus for which there is still not a vaccine (and it has been around for decades now) it does seem more likely that some sort of compound medication regime will achieve success but that clearly would take more time no vaccine has been successfully developed for sars which hit in 2003 and this is a sars type virus so right now the hope/faith of most seems to be that medicine and science is the answer it may end up providing the strongest solutions but the problem really is time
  22. defensive? that is how you view my post? get real (i thought i was being responsive i always find it curious when someone has a need to denigrate a response first in hopes of strengthening their viewpoint not sure why that need is present) you wish to ignore pertinent facts i think sweden is not close to herd immunity last study i read put them close to 30% show me better information .. not headlines that simply repeat your narrative there are factors not fully known about the virus the newer concerns about the impact on kids is only one of the latest developments there may still be others seems a bit odd to me to risk a nations health blindly
  23. who is in a position to charge for pay per view? most pro leagues have sold their broadcast rights already teams/leagues cannot now compete against broadcasters who own those rights with pay per view pay per view assumes a different model of earning from broadcasting games that model is not available now
  24. well there were strong forecasts by many on here that he would be there this past season did not happen
  25. you really think loui would permit a trade to detroit i think he might just exclude most of the bottom teams in his 15 team no trade list i'd bet detroit might be very near the top of his no go list
