For a while it looked as if the most interesting thing about the Leafs game against the Washington Capitals on Sunday was the pre-game celebration of John Tavares's 1,000th game. Morgan Rielly ended a season-long drought with his first goal, one of four the Leafs scored in the period, and Toronto went on to win 5-1. He raised his stick and looked to the rafters in a mix of celebration and relief after his goal. Tavares got on the scoresheet twice, setting up Michael Bunting for the Leafs’ first goal — after Nicklas Backstrom had given Washington a 1-0 lead in the first period — and Rielly’s go-ahead goal. William Nylander made it 3-1 with his team-leading 28th goal of the season, extending his point streak to seven games.

Richmond Police Officer David Edward Stone, a Louisa County resident, was arrested last week on 50 child pornography charges. Stone has served on the Richmond police force since 2006, reports The Daily Progress. And the Richmond police have been doing a creditable job in the past several months. But Stone reminds us that occasionally the cops are the criminals. Spotting and purging bad actors is all the more imperative when police departments are drastically understaffed, recruitment is suffering, and the temptation is strong to take anyone who seems remotely qualified.

In the U.S. alone, it calculated supermarket HFC leaks cause as much global warming as burning 22 million tonnes of coal. Since a typical refrigeration system lasts about 30 years, decisions made now about what refrigerant to use can affect global emissions for decades. The federal government will start to offer carbon offset credits for projects that cut refrigerant emissions, including those in supermarkets.
