     Are you assuming he is going to win the Norris? He might but I sure as hell wouldn't vote for him.


Well...not really.  I am not a big Carlson fan and begrudgingly have admitted he has greatly improved his game over the past several seasons.  I do not think he is worth his contract, but I have always been down on his marshmallow play and dopey persona.
I will say I no longer dislike him, but will never be a huge fan.  I do recognize he is an asset, but I JOKINGLY gave him the moniker of Johnny Q Norris earlier in the season due to all the HYPE and total marketing ploy everyone seemed to be pouring on and forcing upon us.
I realize the role of the "defensemen" has changed, but I feel an ACTUAL Norris candidate should be an EXCELLENT D-E-F-E-N-S-E-M-A-N, not just a star player who scores a lot from the d side.  He should be the best defenseman in the game, not the best offensive player who happens to be called a defensemen.  IMO


Whoa...put the brakes on the rant...


But it was mostly said in jest.  the giggle was from it having an asterisk on it because of the shortened season.


Now Alta is gonna be mad again cause I'm picking on his golden boy  :raspberry:

To add......
The 1918  "Spanish Flu",   (apparantly started in Kansas, through a mutation from bird flu )  killed many people during the Great War.  Then there was a lull, then it mutated and came back ever more deadly and virulent.
Programme I saw on the BBC last night....

All Im saying is that a lull in figures of those infected, or dying, doesn't mean it's over and even more care needs to be taken.
This is not a secret, or hidden, or supressed fact.  It is widely known and available.
Players in a locker room, showers, changing rooms.... NOT going to happen.
Let alone what sort of hockey they could possibly play with no contact and staying at least a metre away from each other..... :huh:


Well, they did NOT have antibiotics then, so any spread of disease was certainly more lethal.


I saw a similar show....years ago...pretty eye opening.


Research Typhoid Mary....she was a real....humanitarian.

Lol!  Thanks for caring.   :hearts:
If I did, I'd be dead. :-|   Not even kidding.  My lungs are shot to bits.  If I get it, I'm done.


Not to worry Lil.  We have a cure that is 100% effective in clinical trials.  Mix of basic generic antibiotic like Z-pac (which will work on the pneumonia) and another old generic drug (I can't remember the name of), but used to be a treatment for Malaria.  The antibiotic won't due it alone, but the combo of the two drugs has cured 100% of the patients with THIS corona.  Some famous French virulogist is leading it. 
This information will be publicized (and hyped to holy hell, i'm sure) very soon.  Actually, I thought they were going public yesterday


And here comes the cynic in me....
Either that or it is just a very well conceived plan to drive up the value of the pharmaceutical companies that make the drugs so they can make another fortune on the hype of this virus.

wouldn’t have mattered 100 years ago, antibiotics don’t work on viruses, would’ve made a huge difference for actual war wounds though, outside of the gas attacks. In our civil war more people died  from infections then actual gun shots

interesting side note, India is where Europeans got the idea that bathing more than once a year was a good idea

Your spot on rich!

     Its a stressful time for everyone. Never have governments around the world taken precautions like this. Makes me think that they know more about this virus than they are telling us.
