Get your head out of the sand Fisch. It’s not misleading. I’m following the word of immunologists and infectious disease experts from the CDC. You’re ridiculous with your attempts to gaslight people on the internet. These are facts. I may as well be doing copy pasta right from the word of mouth that are leading medical experts on the subjects. Protect yourself and isolate so you can curb the rate of spread.
This doomsday crap is ridiculous. People need to calm down and focus on PROPER education for people instead of stirring up more hysteria because thats making this way worse.

michael Osterholm. All I have to say. He’s an infectious diseases expert and this is why everything is getting shut down with more on the way. Listen or not. But this is going to age well.

Maybe you and Michael Osterholm can live in your doomsday shelter and promote hysteria while the rest of us can move on with life just like we did with SARS, H1N1, birdflu, Ebola, zika, Y2k ect. ect.

you’re absolutely misinterpreting this. I never said anything about doomsday and that everyone’s going to enter some sort of apocalyptic world. The rate of infection is extremely high compared to the aforementioned also with higher mortality rates. When the infectious rate is high your rates of other comorbidities will increase as well. Maybe you don’t understand infectious diseases. I don’t know. Take it or leave it. It’s not about health young people dying from this. It’s about who they come in contact with. If you don’t think it’s a big deal then it’s on your conscious man. Michael Osterholm and his team at the centre for disease control hold doctorates in their respective fields for a reason. If you can’t come to terms with the sciences that get outta here.

Honestly just because you watched a 15 minute Joe Rogan interview of this guy doesn’t make you a specialist on this. Get a grip and stop promoting hysteria all over because that is only going to hurt the people who are most vulnerable to this. It’s going to do damage just as it has in other places around the world but it will pass in time.

My apologies to Soo fans for continuing this non hockey talk. I really hope for your sake that we get the rest of the regular season so you guys can sneak into the playoffs because your team is better than it’s record. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank you for the reasonable message and positive thoughts regarding the Greyhounds.

Cole Caufield article mentioning our mem cup bid.

Montreal Canadiens: Don’t Expect Decision From Cole Caufield Soon
An article about the possibility of the CHL for Caufield due to (in large part) Wisconsin’s depleted team next year....hmmm
I’ll state again, his play in the AHL when he signs will be the deciding factor (and the memorial cup helps).

but I guess we won’t exactly get to find out about that AHL play now ☹️, which may be good for SSM...

FYI. You have the 2 worst play by play guys in the league. Embarrassing.

If you mean TV then they aren't the greatest. Give a listen to Saginaw if you truly want to hear bad, however. That whole broadcast is an embarrassment. If you mean radio then I completely disagree. Gerry is fantastic.

If you’re talking TV broadcast then Sarnia gives anyone a run for its money for sure.

You are spreading misinformation.
Covid19 is more contagious than the other outbreaks but it is no where close in mortality rate world wide. That will change in North America because of the ignorant leaders in the U.S.A. who totally unprepared for this; told the residents of their country this outbreak was not all that serious...then 24 hours later, declare a state of emergency.
As of Thurs, the mortality rate of Covid19 was 3.4%. SARS was 8.9% and MERS was 34.8%
I don't mean to jump on you as there is so much misinformation just within our own media that it is hard to get real facts.
I work in the medical field and can't get straight facts on the extent of this.

Biggest difference between this and the other pandemics is social media. While it was around for H1N1 it was nothing like what it is today. People are using Facebook, twitter ect to get information and the panic buying and hysteria ect is the unfortunate result of it.

Mortality rate of 3.73% for COVID19. Its lower yes. But the rate of infection is extremely high and would be catastrophic had we not done a single thing to quarantine and slow it. So with the infectious rates being a lot higher and seemingly “double every 4 days” (Michael Osterholm) the raw data on mortality totals would be a lot higher. With many countries now quarantining the population it seems to have curved off substantially. The infection will still continue to do its damage but a more extended period of time alleviating the healthcare system so as to not get overwhelmed by a high number of cases in a short time frame.

Absolutely right. People need to stay calm and go about their normal day to day activities, while avoiding some social gatherings and increasing hand washing. There are no shortages of food or hygiene products. Just buy what you normally do and everyone will have plenty.

Unfortunately, people continue to cite extremely high death rates and doomsday scenarios, when that just isn't the case.

Most people like Houndsfan22 are obviously very afraid and don't have bad intentions, but clearly don't realize the negative impact that they are having.

I am not having a fear about this. I am not one of the people who over stocked on wiping paper. But the reality of it is in the sciences that people from the Centre of Disease control are reporting. For people to be out in food markets right nnow buying everything up is contrary to what you should be doing. Which is staying away from large crowds of people. The evidence is clear now with massive isolation tactics that the rate of spread has become more linear distribution rather than high peak negative skewed unimodal distribution. I thought you of all people being the statistics and probably know everything man would understand this?

You're just repeating the same thing that everyone else told you. We know what experts are telling people to do and agree with it.

Here's the issue. You are saying things such as:

"(Covid19) compared to the aforementioned (Ebola, SARS) also with higher mortality rates"

"Mortality rate of 3.73% for COVID19."

The first statement is just completely untrue and appears to be something you pulled out of your behind.

The second statement is extremely misleading because it doesn't include those who aren't tested. In South Korea, where testing has been more stringent, the mortality rate is well south of 1%.

One chart shows how the coronavirus is more deadly than the flu even in South Korea, where the COVID-19 death rate is low

I believe that you have good intentions, but I hope that you aren't sharing these untrue and misleading numbers to people in your personal life because they incite fear and things like panic buying.

Well, assuming the regular season is done, here is the final points-per-game for the greyhounds players:
Name PTS/G
Trott, Zack 1.06
Kerins, Rory 0.92
Pytlik, Jaromir 0.89
Constantinou, Billy 0.88
Kartye, Tye 0.83
MacKay, Cole 0.80
Calisti, Robert 0.78
Carroll, Joe 0.77
O'Rourke, Ryan 0.69
Peca, Jaden 0.68
Dickinson, Tanner 0.63
LeGuerrier, Jacob 0.51
Johnston, Alex 0.41
Mufarreh, Dominic 0.22
Boudreau, Marc 0.20
McLean, Cullen 0.18
Holmes, Jacob 0.16
Wawrow, Drew 0.11
Watson, Kalvyn 0.08
Halushak, Matthew 0.08

Looking ahead to next season, what is Raftis likely to do? Here is my take on the roster for next season (by the trade deadline):

Forwards


First line: '01 TRADE - Pytlik - Trott
Analysis: I think this will be the "big splash" that Raftis makes at the deadline next year. Pytlik will likely produce just above a point-per-game next year, and Trott as well, but our top line is likely going to need a high end addition. I suspect we trade away our '04 first round pick and get back a high end winger (either left side or right side), however, if our first round '04 turns out to be a real stud, then Holmes becomes the next most valuable trade chip.

Second line: Carroll - Kerins - MacKay
Analysis: This line has been really good for us this season. They should all reach close to a point-per-game next season, which should be sufficient production for a second line on a contender.

Rest of forwards: Kartye - Dickinson - Johnston - Mufarreh - Boudreau - McLean - Watson - X - X
Analysis: The depth should be there in the bottom half of the forwards next season for us to be a contender, with a few of these guys possibly pushing for top 6 roles at times (Kartye, Dickinson, Boudreau).

Defense

First line: O'Rourke - Constantinou
Analysis: This pairing was just starting to get going this season. With another half season together, I expect them to be very good in all situations next year.

Bottom Four: Calisti - LeGuerrier - Holmes - OA TRADE
Analysis: It will be interesting to see who establishes themselves as a true second line defender on next year's team. The Calisti - LeGuerrier pairing was playing better the last few games this year, but it remains to be seen if they can find the kind of consistency necessary for a second pairing on a contender. However, the way that Holmes played the second half of the year, he may just leapfrog the other two for a spot in the top 4. I can also see Raftis making an offseason OA acquisition here to help shore up the group early.

Depth Defenders: Wawrow - Halushak
Analysis: Depth is important for a contender, and if we have a promising prospect at training camp, he could always look at moving Wawrow or Calisti to make room on the roster. Otherwise I suspect we roll with our current group plus the OA acquisition.

Goaltending

Starter: Malik
Backup: Taylor
Analysis: Will Taylor be the backup next season? This may be the most controversial aspect going into next season. My money is with Taylor sticking on this roster, as Raftis has a history of making minimal moves.

Thoughts from everyone?
