I love reading about that. So much of it is so dumb, but funny. What really gets me is the Berenstein/Berenstain bears. I remember it as Berenstein.

So do I! It blows my mind that it was "supposedly" BerenSTAIN Bears all along. That doesnt feel right at all lol.

Fun fact. That line never happened in the movie. Apparently it's always been "Magic mirror on the wall." Everyone I have ever meant remembers it is as "Mirror, mirror" though.

There is actually a conspiracy theory about this phenomenon called The Mandela Effect. It speculates that there are multiple universes interacting with each other and changing history.

I warn you, don't go too far down the rabbit hole

I can't read stuff like that, because I am pretty careful with what I say, and I am sure I still make mistakes like that, and I don't need any more reasons to feel stupid I just wanted to poke fun at deadhead for calling the kettle black and I will take any excuse to look at Jean Seberg.

Although I generally find such theories benignly as empty, I am surprised that the author didn't cite this board as evidence of alternate realities.

This is last year's results:

1. Provorov, Ivan (88%) LHD
2. Sanheim, Travis (75%) LHD
3. Konecny, Travis (85%) RW
4. Morin, Sam (54%) LHD
5. Rubtsov, German (79%) C
6. Myers, Phil (56%) RHD
7. Lindblom, Oskar (54%) LW/RW
8. Laberge, Pascal (68%) C/RW
9. Aube-Kubel, Nicolas (63%) LW/RW
10. Allison, Wade (44%) RW
11. Hagg, Robert (55%) LHD

12. Friedman, Mark (52%) RHD
13. Vorobyov, Mikhail (49%) C
14. Leier, Taylor (58%) LW
15. Fazleev, Radel (60%) C
16. Marody, Cooper (19%) C
17. Bardreau, Cole (21%, 55%) C
18. Kase, David (40%) C/W
19. Martel, Danick (26%) W
20. Hogberg (40%) LHD

Versus this year:

1. Patrick, Nolan ~ C - 98%
2. Sanheim, Travis ~ LHD - 74%
3. Lindblom, Oskar ~ LW/RW - 64%
4. Myers, Phil ~ RHD - 80%
5. Rubtsov, German ~ C/W - 53%
6. Morin, Sam ~ LHD - 78%
7. Frost, Morgan ~ C/LW - 50%
8. Allison, Wade ~ RW - 35%
9. Hagg, Robert ~ LHD - 38%
10. Vorobyev, Mikhail ~ C - 51%
11. Ratcliffe, Isaac ~ LW - 51%

Laberge and Aube-Kubel stick out right away as fallers due to a concussion and a poor offensive season. But both could have nice bounce back seasons. The big thing I noticed though is how this year's list is much better than last and the depth has to be the best in Flyers history.

Also, notice no Laczynski in the top 20. Biggest riser.
