I mean except for the fact that in 40-50 years 75% of the state will be under water. But yeah, for now? Get to it. 

Get busy Floridaing or get busy dying.

I trust the Red Wings' power play more than I trust cLiMaTe ExPeRtS.

Before I get banned for allowing this thread to turn political, I just want to say one thing:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

F*** the Rangers.

[Dabura 12,206]

Griffins are playing right now. Seider's registered his 7th assist of the season. He seems to be a pretty natural PP QB.

ERICSSON: I'm just glad this is my last day on the job. Retirement is so close I can taste it. It's gonna be great being retired and having no concussion stuff to worry about.

LASHOFF: Amen, partner.

Lashoff just scored his 1st goal of the season. Ericsson is in the lineup.

I don't doubt the science, it's the political existential conclusion "THE GREAT FLOOD WILL KILL US ALL IN 10 YEARS IF WE DON'T ATONE FOR OUR SINS" I doubt. As Dabs has pointed out this doomsday environmental fear mongering has gone on for quite a while now... and none of the cataclysmic results ever rear their head.

I do appreciate that the narrative has been changed to "climate change" as that at least is a lot more accurate.

In regards to flooding, something like 90% of glaciers are already submerged beneath the oceans surface. And solid ice displaces more water than liquid water. If they melted tomorrow we'd actually likely see water lines recede. The one to worry about is the Greenland ice shelves. Those are out of the water. But again, there's not enough volume their to make a significant global impact of any kind.

To keep typing when I should stop, historically warming is nearly always far more advantageous than cooling is. You look at the warmest periods in the earths climate and the landscape is dominated by rich mega fauna and almost literal explosion of species. Then you look at periods of cooling like the younger dryas and the results are reversed. So I don't automatically buy into warm = bad.

@MabusIncarnate we are simple and humble learned men of science here. No politic.

To me, one of the more telling Seider stats: 4 penalty minutes through his first 12 (almost 13) North American pro games.

You'd expect a rookie (especially a just-turned-18 rookie) to be taking a ton of penalties, as he's very likely going to be overwhelmed by the pace and physicality of the pro game. It's a big adjustment. It's why many hockey people say the jump from the junior level to the AHL is often tougher than the jump from the AHL to the NHL. We saw it with Mantha. We saw it with Svechnikov. I wanna say we saw it with Hronek, but don't quote me on that.

Seider? Seider's played against men. And he's big. And he's mobile. And he's smart.

Praise be to Yzerman.

For anyone who missed it. The Russian 5 documentary is airing on NBC after tonight game. Worth the watch I promise.

You missed Larkin. Larkin is a habitual rule breaker and everyone lets it slide.

You wanna fix this team? The first step is putting Seider on it. Yzerman has failed me in this one regard.

Probably not the best timing for this comment... Seider was on the ice for two short-handed goals against today, as well as several other short-handed opportunities that Pickard had to come up big on... The first goal, he just got beat wide, almost like the player caught him off guard with his speed down the wing. The second goal, was just a terrible giveaway in the neutral zone on the attempted breakout... just sayin'...

I guess I look at Larkin as a slightly different case because he'd faced older, collegiate players with the US development program and as a collegiate player himself. And, of course, his wheels have always been op af, which allowed him to kinda overachieve a bit in his younger days. He surprised the NHL in his rookie season and then hit a brick wall and had to learn that speed alone wasn't going to be enough. And, actually, he was a penalty-taking machine last season. 75 PIM last season!

Alas. The demon king giveth and the demon king taketh away.

(Note to self: Never praise Seider again.)

This alone, is a big reason I think this team will see vast improvement from this season to next (when Seider makes the team full time).

Why spend an asset (a pretty good one at that) on a player you're going to bury on the 3rd line with Nielsen and Hirose? Put Perlini in the top six for f***s sake... Erne f***ing sucks!

It's science, not politics, I'll allow it as long as politics are kept out of it... until the game starts. Then it's hockey talk.

"Larkin waffleboards it and Helm comes up with the puck."
"Carrying the puck now he sashays on through!"
"Oh and it's shot into the paraphernalia of Lundqvist, and it goes up and into the stands"
"Looks like a nice young lady from Shawinigan came up with it"
"Seems her birthday came 6 months early this year!"
"Haha and now we go to Pierre McGuire between the benches"
"How does everything look down there Pierre?"

"Thanks Doc, that shot came off the twig of DARREN HELM, a real staple of the Detroit Red Wings for many years now"
"A product of the Selkirk Steelers of the MJHL, but Helm actually grew up in Medicine Hat Alberta just down the road"
"Not many people know that, but I memorized it for some reason"
"Helm is actually the best player born in the month of january to come out of the MJHL"
"A real accomplishment, back to you Doc"

God I hate NBC
