In reality it took only two strikes of the return key to get from moral authority back to making your case on weather/climate with all the depth and intelligence of the Amanda Seyfried character in Mean Girls...
        Not sure if you noticed, but I was answering Greg's (fair) question - not you - and figured I'd try to lighten the recent end-of-the-world-is-nigh mood on here with a funny AND topical (climate) video from George Carlin … guess I just never realized you were such a delicate snowflake soul.

        My bad. I'll try to be super careful not to trigger you, or upset your little safe space in the future.

              Bentley has beat Army two of three games so far this season, so the Cadets cannot be that tough. Oh, wait ...........

              EDIT: breaking news! JvR adds two more goals tonight, on four SOG.

                Good for him. Up to 6th on his own team in scoring, perhaps making a late run for All-Star recognition, something that's eluded him in his eleven (11) NHL seasons to date. Gotta make it eventually, eh?

                Further to my previous points when I've called JvR a "3rd liner on a strong NHL team" … guess what? Looks like the Flyers are doing better this season than in recent seasons. And guess who's the 3rd line LW on their line charts over the last month or so (although TBF he's on their first PP unit)?

                https://themorningpuck.com/line-comb...delphia-flyers

                These charts only go back about a month, so I'm not saying they're perfect, Snives. You may also notice he's moved UP from the 4th line in some of those earlier games, and isn't getting any (trackable) time on the first two lines during this stretch. I know he has had injury issues earlier in the season. Maybe his recent scoring uptick will see him earning more TOI? Or maybe his scoring uptick has to do with his place on the first PP unit (BTW perfect for him)??

                No one likes being the Grinch at this time of the year, or on this subject, but I know this has been an issue that's annoyed some of you, and you're definitely entitled to your opinions. But I'll stick with mine, which are that (1) JvR tops out as a very good player at NHL level - not elite, or even All-Star caliber; (2) he's a top six player on a weak team - his past Flyers and Toronto teams, for example; and (3) he's a 3rd line player on a strong NHL team with realistic Cup ambitions. FWIW, I'm not sure the Flyers are that good this year, but they are better. And the evidence (above) shows he's currently outside the top six forwards, except for the PP.

                Those are my opinions - then and now - and (at least) right now, that's what the facts reflect.

                  I just realized how appropriately named this thread is, with "water... trending upward" nicely representing the indisputable truth of the rising sea levels due to scientifically proven climate change.

                  Happy Holidays to all you Cats fans.

                  The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

                    Thanks for this voice of reason, Nick. I take back all of the negative things that I have posted about you over the years. You are ok. :-)

                    And, best wishes to you and your team this season, as well, as long as your team does not get in our way. :-)

                            Yup, first goal unassisted. On second line tonight with Kevin Hayes and Nicolas Aube-Kubel; fifth most TOI for forwards with 17:46 mins.
