Boston rookie forward Abby Newhook played 29 games averaging 13 minutes a night, and was not on the ice for a single five on five goal against. She was on the ice for 17 even strength goals for, including five that she scored

Kelly Pannek leads the league in points (33), 5v5 points (18), power play points (10), and was second in primary points (23). The only point category she didn't lead in (primary points) was led by teammate Taylor Heise with 24. Pannek also shot an unreal 26.8% over her 30 games played, the highest in a single season in PWHL history for a player with a minimum 10 games played in a season

Your hits leader this year was...Hannah Miller! With 65 hits, a huge jump up from last year where she only had 13. Of course there's multiple factors contributing to that, from how the stat may be counted by each arenas scorekeeper to her having the puck less

Sarah Nurse tied for second in five on five goals (9) but did not record a single power play goal

The unluckiest player (player with biggest differential in actual goals vs expected goals) was Emily Clark, who scored 5.37 less goals than expected based on the shots she was taking

Oldest Wine Ever Discovered in Liquid Form Found in Untouched Roman Tomb

A 2,000-year-old Roman funerary urn unearthed in southern Spain has been shown to contain the oldest wine ever found still in liquid form.

Discovered during home renovations at a property in Carmona in 2019, the contents of the urn were analyzed by a team of scientists from the University of Cordoba in a study published Monday.

Study lead author José Rafael Ruiz Arrebola, a professor of organic chemistry at the university, said that the urn was found to contain cremated remains, burned ivory thought to come from a funeral pyre and around 4.5 liters (1.2 gallons) of reddish liquid.

“When the archaeologists opened the urn we almost froze,” he said. “It was very surprising.”

The team then carried out a chemical analysis of the liquid and found that it was wine.

This was a big surprise, because wine normally evaporates quickly and is chemically unstable, Ruiz Arrebola said.

“This means it is almost impossible to find what we have found,” he said, explaining that the wine had been preserved by a hermetic seal that prevented it from evaporating, but it is not clear how the seal formed.

Further chemical analysis allowed the team to identify the liquid as a white wine, as it didn’t contain syringic acid, a substance only present in red wines, Ruiz Arrebola said.

It also has a similar mineral salt composition to the fino wines produced today in the region, he added.

“It’s something unique,” said Ruiz Arrebola. “We have been lucky to find it and analyze it – it’s something you only see once in your life.”

The researchers believe their discovery dethrones the current holder of the record for oldest wine in a liquid state, the Speyer wine bottle, found in Germany, which is thought to be around 1,700 years old. However, the age of the Speyer bottle has not been confirmed by chemical analysis.

The vessel was one of six funerary urns containing remains found in the mausoleum.

The discovery of a gold ring and other valuable artifacts suggest it was built by a family of considerable wealth, Ruiz Arrebola said.

However, little else is known about their lives, because cremation would have destroyed any DNA, he explained, adding that this means it is impossible to say whether the six people were related.

Ruiz Arrebola now plans to try to work out which modern-day local wine it was most similar to, although there are hundreds to work through.

Are you a young phenom racing out the gate for your NHL debut? You are now granted “The Kid,” e.g. Tyler Seguin et al. McDavid is called “McJesus,” so that’s fun.

Nicknames can be auto-referential. Sidney Crosby was nicknamed “Sid the Kid” early in his career. Now you will hear “Sid the Middle Aged Man” as a reference to his nickname and his age.

They can also be allo-referential. Ovechkin is called “The Great Eight” in reference to Wayne Gretzky’s nickname “The Great One.”

You also see nicknames that are less heroic and more attributive. Artemi Panerin is known as “Breadman” or Bread, since his last name sounds the Panera in “Panera Bread Company.”

EVERYONE loves a good "very powerful, very evil, very smug dude gets his ass handed to him by an underdog that he massively underestimated" story.

and for as long as there have ever been stories about Supernatural Evil Entities That You Absolutely Shouldn't Fuck With, there have been stories about Okay But What If You Did Fuck With The Supernatural Evil And It Went Great, Actually. sometimes the supernatural evil entity is Literally The Devil, Yes That One, because those story frameworks already existed and it was super easy to slot the Devil into them once he came along.

“Unraveling the Linothorax Mystery, or how Linen Armor Came to Dominate our Lives.”

While all of this mayhem (both scientifically controlled and free-form) convinced us that our linothorax was ancient-battlefield-ready, we still felt compelled to try a real-life scenario, so Scott donned the armor and Greg shot him. And while we had confidence in our armor, our relief was still considerable when the arrowhead stuck and lodged in the armor’s outer layers, a safe distance away from flesh.
