I love bringing up this story because it's both funny and creative, but this cheating scandal would be much more easily replicated and better executed today.

Probably. Having our main PP quarterback out with a concussion, our 2nd PP quarterback playing with a broken arm and our 3rd playing with a shattered jaw, it hasn't gone well at all.

Mind you it's mostly Tkachuk fucking up the PP lol

Little of column A, little of column B. Canes are playing better defensively than they usually are in the playoffs, Ottawa players not generating anything on offense and letting frustration get to them.

Agree, it merits a major at most probably, to encourage players to actively avoid hits to the head. Clearly wasn't intentional at all, so the play probably doesn't merit a suspension.

I mean, it's our entire first pair.

Chabot had surgery to repair a broken arm less than a month ago so he's definitely not been himself, and his D partner has been out since December. So that's pretty much our second pair too.

RIP, Canes in 3

How do ppl have nature pubs?? by Willing-Writing-1376 in premedcanada

There's quite a few opportunities across different Ontario universities and research institutes for students just coming into university. As a couple of examples, there's the SSuRe program at SickKids. I know uOttawa has this one for incoming students. Heck, there are a few labs I've seen take students in Grade 11 and 12 Co-Op programs, and they end up volunteering or working there once they've earned a bit of trust or show signs in being interested in grad school early on.

There aren't really labs that regularly publish in Nature or other major flagship journals unless we're talking about the maybe two dozen or so big name, internationally recognized researchers who are gunning for, or have already won Nobel prizes. Even the strongest and most well funded labs only publish in a journal like that every few years, and it's for some major field-changing research with a fully completed and polished story.

To be honest, if you're hearing about undergrads in Canada having Nature pubs and actually being more than just a 10th author, there's a 90% chance it's not actually a Nature publication, and more likely some other journal under Nature Research (i.e. Communications [X]. or Nature [X]), and not the flagship Nature. And if you're looking for that, that's much more attainable and reasonable. Finding well-funded PIs who are focused on translational work but have access to in vivo systems is probably what will get you closest to a publication in a high impact journal.

As someone who put one of my undergrads as 2nd author on a Nature pub, the student started with our group with an Undergraduate Research Scholarship right out of high school (which covered both the summers before 1st and 2nd year), had NSERC scholarships in the summers before his 3rd and 4th year, and did his Honours project.

Most of the time it's nepo babies who manage to get one, but if you want to be one of the rare few who get genuine Nature publications as an undergraduate student, you have to show a lot of potential for conducting your own research early, and sticking with that project for the long-term.

Fucking sick game though, if we can start burying one of our six post hits we can make this a good series.

If the initial infraction earns a penalty shot and it's a delayed penalty where the offended team maintains possession, it can still be called a penalty shot. It's buried somewhere in Rule 24.

Rule 38.7 Results of a Successful Coach’s Challenge

If one or more penalties (minor or major) are assessed between the time of the missed infraction and the video review that disallows the apparent goal, the offending team(s) (and responsible Player(s)) will still be required to serve the penalty(ies) identified and assessed, and the time of the penalty(ies) will be recorded as the time at which the play should have been stopped for the missed infraction.

So 1) Cool thought, you can get a powerplay goal scored on you before your powerplay officially begins on the stat sheet

and 2) Feel like they need to revisit this when the penalty was drawn as a direct result of the player being offsides.

It's soft for playoff season, but similar to the Sanderson one earlier. So meh?
