Some people self isolate at home and work by themselves for minimum wage at a convenience store

The “it’s work” excuse is lame... do you not laugh and joke around with coworkers?

Part of a work environment is that it has a social aspect to it

I don’t feel bad for them... stay in your (frank)ing rooms
- Dozzer

The question I have, though (and it is a sincere question - not a rhetorical one):

Based upon how much time they interact with each other, what is the added risk in them spending time together in a hotel room?

I expect the word for this in Finnish includes a lot of double A's

slangily and mockingly I would say pikkiriikkinen

Any one who has to self isolate by themselves is allowed to socialize with another house hold.

In the past these players socialize with each other to get their mind off the stressful job they have. You could not be more wrong here. Think of these people as human beings.

Ok.

We haven’t lived under decades of dictatorship rule.

It’s a bit early to start whining about rules.

We also have things like the courts and lobbyist groups to voice our opinions and displeasure, the soviets did not.
- Dozzer

OV was 6 when Communism fell is best friends with the current dictator, er extremely long term President. I’m not sure that he’s oppressed or feels that the rules that apply to the masses apply to him.

They aren’t self isolating!

They get to go home when they’re not on the road
- Dozzer

Home? What is home for most of these players?

For the majority of players home is far away from where they play.

For the majority of players being "home" is the same as being on the road except they have to find their own way to the rink.

Or did AM's whole family move to Toronto and settle down so that can be with him?

- Atomic Wedgie

I think this is the more valid question

I think as fans we don't think enough about the mental health of players.


In a time of uncertainty we should be thinking about this more often.

Self isolation is used as punishment in the court of law, remember that.
- Santo_44

different times though.. Now, self-isolation is used to keep someone safe, or to prevent spreading the virus, not as a punishment..

I agree that it can't be easy for players, heck, it's hard on regular, average citizens, but rules are rules right? They need to be followed especially now, with people's health and safety

No one is being asked to self isolate by themselves unless they have the virus, you are incorrect here.

How is letting them hangout with eacother in hotel rooms effecting peoples health and safety? How much does this actually increase the risk of transmission considering how much they are together playing a sport?

In this situation the cons outweigh the pros.

So apparently this is a $3,700 (USD) Gucci dress:



Damn, I'm in the wrong business.

But he would have been raised by parents and grew up in a society that held these views.

Ok let me be clear...I completely agree that your point is valid and I agree with it... BUT disagreeing with a rule is not an acceptable reason to break it

That's it, my parents have a couch from the 70s in the basement that's getting cut up and sewn into a dress

Because you think people want to buy clothes from a window licker that hangs out on HB?

I've known Dozzer for a number of years here on Hockeybuzz.

Trust me - he has the ability to be a lot more wrong.

Oh, and hello everyone.

No one is saying that.

This sparked from Ovi's wife's comments which never said Ovi was right to break the rules.

Oh, and hello everyone.
- .HOHO.

oh hi

Based on science - significantly higher. The individual players are not exposed to identical threats when going to and from the rink. The larger the group, the greater the exposure to risk. For example - a simple mathematical model if an individual's risk is x percent going to and from the rink, the risk of two people isn't simply adding the risk factors, an order of magnitude (exponential) is generally used to calculate the new risk.

Man I’ve been out of the house for social reasons 3x in the past 6 months because I’m terrified that if I were to catch something it may push back my elective lobectomy... with today’s technology you can talk to someone in real time on a screen bigger than the tv I had in my bedroom as a kid.

It’s not that bad at all. You guys are making it out like the players are going to suffer irreparable emotional and mental harm from staying at home and no offence but that’s (frank)ing ridiculous

oh hi

And I agree they broke the rules and should be punished.

But I'm bored because people who owe me work haven't sent it back to me, so I'm killing time, trying to spark conversation.

True but he is now part of a very powerful elite defined as being Putin buddies. Maybe the contrast from one reality to another heightens the sense of entitlement now that he’s on the inside. I dunno

No one is saying that.

- Santo_44

But she’s mad because her husband is being punished for breaking clearly set out rules... the one at fault here is ovie and his teammates plain and simple

She’s misdirecting her anger tbh

And I agree they broke the rules and should be punished.

I got some work I can give you.

How are you with API calls? I'd happily pay someone to do these.
