3rd line playing good 5 vs 5. Could be an interesting factor. Otoh first line stinks. Edström is a keeper. If Rempe took that unnecessary Johnny Brodz penalty the haters would be very vocal. He has speed Johnny, but so does a headless chicken. Igor deciding he wants that big paycheck after confronting the concept of Utah Hockey

I’m not a Brod fan either

Why is light affected by the gravitational pull of a black hole if photons have no mass?
Because black holes warp spacetime, and photons travel along spacetime, so they “fall into” the steep curvature like everything else what does near them.

Always a fascinating question though.

Light is affected by the gravitational pull of a black hole due to the curvature of spacetime itself, as described by Einstein’s general relativity. Photons, despite being massless, follow geodesics—essentially, the "straightest" paths through this curved spacetime. The gravitational field of a black hole warps spacetime so dramatically that even light's trajectory bends toward it.

If we turn this into a formula:

Photons + Curved Spacetime=Light Bends!\text{Photons + Curved Spacetime} = \text{Light Bends!}Photons + Curved Spacetime=Light Bends!
Or, in more understandable terms:

mγ=0 but Gμν says, "Too bad, you’re coming with me!"m_\gamma = 0 \text{ but } G_{\mu\nu} \text{ says, "Too bad, you're coming with me!"}mγ=0 but Gμν says, "Too bad, you’re coming with me!"

I get to use this twice in one GDT.....
