Jersey Jimmy van Riemsdyk scored his 7th goal of the season yesterday, also making it 7 straight games with at least 1 point for Reemer.
13 games. 7 goals. 11 assists. Currently 4th in the league with 18 points to start the year.
Connor McDavid is a Hart Trophy winner. Leon Draisaitl is a Hart Trophy winner. Mitch Marner gets to play with Auston Matthews.

I'm not necessarily ending the debate that JvR is better than Tom Brady, but all I'm saying is that he belongs in the conversation right now.
Sidenote: The hat industry would be booming right now if fans were allowed in the arena for Flyers games this year.

Think about how many more hats everybody would have to buy if the whole crowd had to toss theirs on the ice seemingly every Flyers game. Farabee, TK, The Sergeant. This team is addicted to scoring hatties.
