On rewatching it it kinda looks like a power play. I count only four red jerseys on the ice and that includes the goalie. Team Canada must have been in a line change when it happened.
It's 3 on 3 in overtime. They said it at the start of OT.
If you count the white jerseys, you'll see the same thing...

Nothing better than a Teams meeting to plan a Teams meeting...
The worst thing about Teams is when a client doesn't even bother to ask if a time works for you, and you end up double booked for 2 clients because they don't care that you have other clients--they are the only one that matters...
Some of my clients are good about asking a certain time works. Others just don't care.

lol, wait so some scientist tried to say that mule deer and elk were the cause of fewer beavers? That is absurd
The only thing absurd about it is how exaggerated it was.
There's nothing absurd about suggesting that one species could have an adverse impact on another if there population is unchecked. Plenty of real examples of that that don't require bogus science to see.
The unfortunate thing about that study is that their attempt to put greater emphasis and give all the credit to the wolf overshadows what is likely true to some degree--reintroduction of the wolves did create some kind of balancing effect.
This is just propaganda disguised as science with the sole intent being to suggest that nature can function without human intervention. Maybe in a system like Yellowstone that's true, but it won't work hardly anywhere else.
re: Water Salinity Measurement

You say that you have planted in the marsh…I did not know thst we}as possible. Do you just scatter a bunch of seeds or what? I am very interested in this!
Wolfman is correct in his assumption--I'm speaking specifically of grasses/rushes like smooth cord, marshay, cutgrass, bulrush, etc.
In other words, common and easily grown species. Species like widgeongrass would likely be very difficult to propagate effectively because of the relatively narrow salinity range it tolerates (up to 10 ppt) and need for sunlight, which isn't solely dependent on depth. Widgeon grass can grow in up to 3 ft of water, but that's going to be water that doesn't have a lot of suspended sediment (i.e., not much flow).
quote:
I’ve seen it go from nearly fresh water where the vegetation was so thick we had to use go-devils to get to the blinds to the other extreme of vast stretches of open water where we could actually catch crabs around the landing. The marsh has stayed a constant 2-3 ft deep all of this time.
What has caused the open water? The fact that you went from thick vegetation to open water but still have the same depth is interesting, (and not very common, unless that bottom is very hard).
quote:
My goal would be when there is a large swing in salinity, I want to find out why it happened so we can react relatively quickly.
I take it this is in a location that is relatively protected from saltwater unless something like a levee fails? Otherwise, this is difficult if you're in a naturally tidal system, or one that doesn't have significant freshwater input outside of rainfall. And at 2 to 3 feet deep, any prolonged drought is going to lead to an increase in salinity since water evaporates but salt doesnt.
Ive had project locations in South Louisiana where salinity spiked from 10-15 ppt to over 32 ppt in droughts. Not much you can do about that unless you can somehow pump water in.

Either this or CRMS. There are monitors all across the coastal region as part of that program.
If it's truly a brackish marsh, then salinity isn't likely to be an issue for the vegetation you're looking to manage for because of the wide range in salinity tolerance those species have. Water depth would be what I would be more concerned about.
General rule(s) of thumb when it comes to marsh types: Fresh marshes are typically the most diverse, and composed of plants that can tolerate wider ranges in flooding, but the least salt tolerance; brackish has widest tolerance for both salinity and depth, but depends on species; and salt marsh is least diverse and most tolerant of salinity, typically least tolerant of prolonged, deep water (since these are typically strongly tidal).
Just based on my observations from years working and planting in the marsh.
re: Which Tiger will have a better NFL career in retrospect? Will Campbell or JaMarcus Russell

When we look back in ten years, who will be the more successful Tiger in the NFL?
How are you defining "success" in a question involving players at 2 very different positions?
Career longevity? If that's the case, then Campbell seems more likely simply because if he gets demoted to backup, he's probably still going to find work somewhere. Maybe he changes position.
Does anyone consider anything about Russell's career "successful"? The only "success" he had was being able to say he was a 1st overall and got paid alot of money.
Other than that, the dude is probably at the bottom of the list of Tigers in the NFL, and may be one of the biggest draft busts of all time.
ETA: there's an NFL.com story that has him as the #1 biggest bust in the Y2K Era.
Why is this even a question?

True.
Regardless, no one that seems to know anything about that specific event/sport seems to think the ACL was the issue here--only armchair skiers.

Watching the replay now, and the guys on the broadcast that appear to know more about this sport than most posting here don't seem to believe the ACL had anything to do with this.
They've pointed out:
-she competed with a torn ACL without even knowing it back in the early 2010s
-many people have competed in this event with a torn ACL or no ACL at all
-She's known for just sending it--all gas, no brakes
-Healthy ACL or not, that crash was going to happen there
-a Healthy, 20 year old Vonn couldn't have avoided that crash
So it seems like all of this "she shouldn't have competed" nonsense is based more in vitriol for the person than a knowledge of the sport.
As someone already pointed out, she was 3rd best out of 5 Americans in the practice rounds. There's an argument if she was 5th and worse than alot of the competition.

This is accurate. I had a couple of Australorp roosters with my hens for a little while. They would do their own thing for the most part. But the bigger bird would always seemingly get tired of the smaller one crowing at around 4 PM, and start kicking his arse all over the yard for 15 minutes until he stopped.

I'm not downplaying anything anymore than those in these discussions that like to act like Catholic priests are the only ones that do this.
Nevermind the fact that the Boy Scouts had a massive settlement over sexual abuse issues, and I bet none of those leaders were priests.

Ya'll are making yourselves look like fools here all Because you think allowing these guys to get married would prevent these things from happening, while neglecting the fact that non-priests do this crap as well.
It's not okay in any situation for one. And suggesting that one thing would solve this is equally ridiculous when there's nothing to suggest that it would.

How is anything I said defensive of "gay men who prey on boys"?
It's a ridiculous argument that assumes the only people who do this kind of thing are Catholic priests, and that it is in some way tied to the requirement of celibacy, and/or someone's sexual orientation.
Taking advantage of children is a despicable act--one that has nothing to do with marital status or sexual orientation.

Because gay men never get married to put on the appearance that they are straight, right?
Oh, and there's never been a married man that was into kids, right?
You're assuming the child involved was a boy. Boy or girl, being married doesn't automatically mean the guy wouldn't have still done this (allegedly).
I had a married coworker years ago that got caught watching child porn on a company computer. I've known men that have come out as gay while married to a woman.
People like to blame the church for not allowing priests to marry, but neglect the fact that married men (and men that could get married) do the same terrible things. They just get far less attention because they aren't part of the same organization.
Nobody is ever going to say "those damn white men (or married men) are off doing disgusting things with kids again."
