Bonnard did not paint outside, however he wanted to preserve in his studio paintings the freshness and immediacy of their starting point in nature. He sought to go beyond the Impressionist position; through an emphasis on composition and colour he strove to capture in paint the equivalent of an experience. Many pencil sketches exist of landscapes such as this one, where he captures the incident, the atmosphere of the moment and the texture of the visual experience.
Vernouillet is a small town in the North of France, to the West of Paris, on the Seine between Poissy and Mantes. It is fairly close to Giverny, where Monet lived. Divided into three distinct sections this painting is a symphony of greens reflecting the colours and atmosphere of the landscape. His later paintings of the South of France are far brighter and warmer in hue.
The small running figures at the bottom of the painting are characteristically enclosed within the structure of the gateway and the heavily wooded surrounding vegetation. Behind this section, where the trees and bushes are described by a myriad of differing brushstrokes and dabs of paint varying in colour from yellowish green through to dark blue, is a wide open plane divided by a zigzag road which leads the eye around a couple of dark trees to the horizon. On the horizon is a brightly lit cumulus cloud, framed by a dark cloud moving across the landscape. Rain marks can be seen diagonally on the surface of the painting from the right to the left, indicating the direction of the oncoming storm.

Works Well, Until It Wears Off After A Few Washes.I was pleasantly surprised by how well this treatment worked on my frizzy curly hair. I have been doing professional salon keratin treatments for the past 8-10 years, so this was my first time trying to do it solo at home. The process was a little tedious, but once I saw the results I thought it was well worth it for the price! It lasted about a solid month on my hair before I noticed my hair returning to its natural curly state. I am planning to touch up my hair with the remaining product I didnt use the first go around- which is nice. However, if you have really curly frizzy hair like me, you cant compare this to a salon treatment (at least the length of time it lasts on your hair) I might possibly repurchase one more time before I head back to the salon to save some $$$.Feb 17, 2016Jessica M. / MiamiHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Changed My Life!Every now & then a magical product comes along & changes everything. For my unruly, fine curly/frizzy hair, this is it. I'm on my 4th kit, & I get 2 uses out of each. My hair is quickly, & easily transformed into smooth, manageable healthy, shiny straight locks that take less than half the time to blow dry.
- before applying the treatment, you must shampoo, using the product in the kit. Shampoo a good 3 times; not just once. This made a huge difference.
- the instructions suggest immediately blow drying after the keratin is on. I wrap my hair in plastic for 30 mins to let it really soak in. Then, blow dry thoroughly, in small sections, but don't fry your hair. It must be bone dry, though, before flat ironing.
- Get a flat iron best suited for keratin treatments: they are not all the same! I bought the blue Babyliss 1" Nano Titanium (another life-changer!)
- The directions say to use the flat iron at 450 degrees. That dried my hair out the first time & I did the treatment. I now get wonderful results at 370, taking thin sections.
- The directions say to shampoo & condition using the products in the kit. DON'T! wait 3 days to shampoo & DON'T use the products in the kit. Discard the conditioner but keep the shampoo use before your next treatment.
- Use a top-notch sulfate free shampoo (Theorie Helichrysum!!!) & conditioner. The treatment lasts twice as long this way & you get no damage whatsoever.
- I gave it 4 stars, simply because the conditioner is useless & the clarifying shampoo they suggest you use, strips the treatment form the hair.

The Best EverHi girls,made a review a couple of days ago I am back for the end results. Amazing!!! My hair never looked so good and felt so soft. Yesterday we had a down pour of rain with winds and my hair did not buckle one bit. My hair stayed in it's place did not frizz at all. I have never seen this happen in my 50 years of living. I love,love this product and will always use it. Will not live with out it, I just can't . With out it I look like a hot mess. You girls who tried stand it'd did not work do not give up,read the instructions carefully and do not worry if you put to much because you can wash it off the next day. I live in Florida and I need this,hope they never stop making this.Apr 24, 2015Cecilia M. / FloridaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

A Lot Of Work But Very Nice ResultsMy first time trying this product,had to try it since I moved to Florida two months ago and just tried it today April 21st. The state of high humidity!!! My hair is very short and curly frizzy and I don't look so pretty with it so short and curly just does not fit my face although I love curls just on long hair. So far my hair is smooth and soft and shinny. I did my hair outside because of a little burning of eyes and because of fumes,other than that everything else was fine,thank god I was not allergic to it like some people mentioned. Now all I have to do is put it to the brutal humid temperatures of Florida and will update the end results for you guys. Because of my short hair I used very little of it and so I have a lot left over . If I see it frizzing a little will do it over a few times again,maybe it will take better after a few times,because hair will improve after several uses. So don't give up so easily. We as curly girls can't afford to give up,we want perfect curls and smooth hair in such brutal hot humid temperatures . I have noticed it getting better for I have tried a different brand before this one and my hair is showing a big improvement.Apr 21, 2015Cecilia / FloridaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Diy Keratin Treatments .. Much Cheaper/faster Than Salon Treatment!I have been getting professional keratin treatments for years, at no menial expense, I may add, and finally had the courage to ask the salon what chemical they were using so I could buy it myself and save on the immense labor fee (>$100). They use this exact chemical, so I began buying this in bulk, maybe 3 at a time to save on shipping, and have never looked back. As long as you prepare adequately, enough time, space, supplies, and make sure to do it in a room with open windows and fans to aerate the chemicals, the treatment is a piece of cake. I am 100% satisfied with the outcome of the treatment, and only wish my hair grew slower so I wouldn't have to redo the treatment every 6-8 weeks. This treatment to me is the best thing you could possibly do for frizzy, curly, unmanageable hair, and it cuts my styling time down to about 15-20 minutes. I was born with thick, frizzy, curly, medusa-like hair, so to properly blow it out and straighten it without the keratin treatment took upwards to 1.5 - 2 hours. I honestly cannot recommend this treatment more and hope that it is available for purchase for the rest of my life.Sep 29, 2014ElainaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

The Shampoo Has Sulfates!!!Not sure why but the shampoo that comes with this contains sulfates.. I would not have purchased had I known, its common knowledge that any straightening keratin product should be washed with sulfate free shampoo. !!!!

Easy And Effective!I have blonde highlighted thin hair and this treatment is easy, fast and effective on my hair. It does not make it pin straight but it gives smooth frizz free hair... specially with Miami's humidity. I have done this twice so far and I love it. I had a bad formaldehyde allergy before with a keratin treatment and I don't get any with this one. Just some eye burning. Keep the treated wet hair away from your face while doing the process. And it only has a 24 hour wait period and not 72!Aug 19, 2014Magui Q. / Miami, FLHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Works Well, But Application Is BrutalI've had several keratin treatments both in salon and at home. Very few times, during the blow dry do my eyes water. When I applied this system, I had to constantly stop to get air.
I have a large, well vented bathroom and while spraying the treatment in my hair, my eyes, nose, and throat burned worse than they have ever in my life. I had to open windows and literally walk out of my bathroom and stick my head out another window to be able to clear my eyes enough to continue. I think half the issue is that this is sprayed on, so it disperses into the air more than into your hair. During my blow dry, there was very mild discomfort, but I'm sure that was residual.
My hair looked amazing once it was complete. I waited more than 24 hours to wash it out, it took about 15 minutes to blow dry straight (normally an hour process) and no flat iron was needed to get it straight. My second wash, i let it air dry, it took 3 hours to dry, and it is very wavy, but no frizz. Not quite the results I got with the salon treatments, but not bad for the price.
I would probably do it again, but have someone else spray it while I cover my face, or possibly even just do it outside.Aug 19, 2014Kris A.HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

This Has Changed My LifeOf coarse I live in Maryland which is one the most humid states in the US! With having very frizzy, curly, thin hair, I've tried "them" all! Nothing has worked as good as this stuff! I left it product in for 36 hours instead of the 24. When I showered with no cap, I wet hair and did not wash it, I just used the conditioner provided and when I blew dry my hair I was so amazed how straight it still was and thicker feeling too! Walked my dog in the early humid morning...still straight! This is by far the best at home Keratin treatment!

The United States. Daylight saving time, also called "summer time," is the practice of advancing clocks forward by one hour in the spring to gain additional daylight during the early evening. In the fall, clocks are again turned back an hour. The U.S. federal law that established "daylight time" in this country does not require its observance. Arizona, Hawaii, and the territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and American Samoa do not use DST. These areas receive so much sun throughout the year that gaining another hour of sunlight in the summertime is not seen as a benefit.
DST Dawns in Indiana. Until April 2005, when Indiana passed a law agreeing to observe daylight saving time, the Hoosier state had its own unique and complex time system. Not only is the state split between two time zones, but until recently, only some parts of the state observed daylight saving time while the majority did not. Under the old system, 77 of the state's 92 counties were in the Eastern time zone but did not change to daylight time in April. Instead they remained on standard time all year. That is, except for two counties near Cincinnati, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky., which did use daylight time. But the counties in the northwest corner of the state (near Chicago) and the southwestern tip (near Evansville), which are in the central time zone, used both standard and daylight time.
The battle between the old system and DST was contentious and hard-won. Bills proposing DST had failed more than two dozen times before it squeaked through the state legislature in April 2005. In April 2006, Indiana joined 47 other states in observing DST for the first time.
Around the World. About 70 countries around the world observe daylight saving time in some form. Here are some interesting facts:
The year 2006 will be the last year in which clocks are set forward one hour on the first Sunday in April at 2:00 a.m. local time and set back one hour the last Sunday in October, also at 2:00 a.m. Starting in 2007, DST will be observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding a month to daylight saving time.

On February 14th, L.A. originals, Binary, released "Dreams" – the much anticipated collaboration between Futurecop! and Binary's own Keenhouse. Yesterday we featured the original track on our Waves ≠ Raves Vol. 6 and today we are having a go at the outstanding trio of remixes.
On "Dreams", Keenhouse's lyrics deal with hope in a grown up world and are coupled with Futurecop's signature feel-good melodies, all of which make for some super solid power pop. Ride The Universe, ODahl & Show Your Shoe all up the ante with their futuristically funky+soulful remixes (PrinceWave?), each taking the track to new levels.
For Futurecop! + Binary in 2011, UP, indeed, is the only way.

Annie Leibovitz
A Photographer's Life
Now this is how we like our photography books. Seriously sized, voluminous and packed with photos, page after page, after page. No minimal selections - A Photographer's Life keeps them coming. Annie Leibovitz says she doesn't have two lives, but just one. Her assignment work and personal pictures are all part of it, combining both the beauty and ugliness of life. In terms of creativity that personal and full passion is without a doubt her strength - financially it may very well have been her weakness. All we know it resulted in a wonderful portfolio and book.

Cherington: Brentz shot himself in the leg
FORT MYERS, Fla. Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said this morning that outfield prospect Bryce Brentz shot himself in the leg while cleaning a handgun last month and is not on the spring roster as a result.
"He was at home cleaning a gun and it accidentally went off. He was injured in the process," Cherington said. "Fortunately for him, it was something he's going to recover from and be fine and won't affect his baseball career."
Cherington said the bullet passed through Brentz's leg.
"I guess you could say he got lucky relative to what could have happened. I think he understands he got lucky and it's a serious thing. He's got to be careful," Cherington said.
Brentz is in Fort Myers. He would have been invited to major league camp but is not yet physically ready to play. He could be cleared for games by the end of spring training.
"He's doing well," Cherington said.
Brentz is an avid hunter and owns several guns. Cherington said the Red Sox have no team policy that addresses gun ownership or use.
"Certainly in a case like this we've talked to Bryce. We've had a couple of conversations with him about how serious this is," Cherington said. "He wasn't doing anything illegal or anything like that. He had a gun he was trying to clean and there was an accident. It's something we may have to deal with case by case. We talked to Bryce about it."
Brentz, 24, hit .290/.349/.465 last season with 17 home runs and 76 RBIs. He spent most of the season with Double A Portland and was very unlikely to make the major league team.
Alex Speier of WEEI first reported this morning that Brentz was involved in a gun accident.

Booth's Slings and Arrows
Thomas Drance
February 14 2012 11:38AM
David Booth has been extraordinarily unlucky over the past couple of seasons, both in terms of his health and in terms of the bounces. Sometimes, however, the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune can in fact work in one's favour. Booth's slow-start in Miami this October was driven by the percentages, and were partly what caused him to be shipped off to Vancouver in exchange for Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm. Upon his arrival in the Northwest, Booth's luck didn't change: it took him seven games, twenty-two shots and one hell of a second effort to tally his first goal as a member of the Canucks.
Read on past the jump!
Hockey fans in the Vancouver market took a while to warm-up to the well-tanned and well-coiffed American born power-forward, but with his speed and his array of power-moves - Booth is changing minds in a hurry. Since the trade, Booth has played 30 games and scored 10 goals while contributing 11 assists. That's pretty impressive, and over an 82 game pace equates to 57 points. As is so often the case, however, the counting stats only skim the surface of the value Booth has provided to Vancouver's hockey club.
Booth's run of success on Vancouver's second-line aside: his luck hasn't changed for the better yet. He has been harassed again this season by the injury bug, and missed six weeks after Colorado's Kevin Porter stuck his knee out on him in early December.
Meanwhile, the percentages have continued to be unkind to Booth. His personal shooting percentage (13.5 with Vancouver) is four points higher than his career average, but his even-strength on-ice shooting percentage is still an unsustainably low 6.1%. Luck has been going against him at the other end of the rink as well: while Canucks goaltenders have a .928 even-strength save percentage overall, when Booth is on the ice that dips to .912%. That is not an indictment of Booth's defensive play: that's just bad bounces over a small sample.
That Booth is carrying a positive goal differential, and producing at (nearly) a 60 point pace despite a 971 PDO, is very impressive. The bounces will even-out eventually which, is exciting because the man with the tan has a very high shot volume (2.46 SOG per game), and is easily the Canucks best possession player at even-strength. Because of this, inevitably, there will be a correction (whether or not it comes over the balance of this season or next season) and Booth will begin to score in bunches. If we're lucky, that correction will come during a playoff series.
Even without the bounces, Booth brings several things to the table that the Canucks really didn't possess last season. In particular, his power-forward traits (his effectiveness in a net-presence role, and his net-crashing style) will surely prove useful in the postseason. David Booth isn't Shea Weber, and he isn't Allen Iverson - but if he isn't "the answer," then at least he has come correct.
February 14 2012, 08:25PM
David "the answer" Booth. I think the refreshing rain of the Pacific Northwest has done wonders for him. Maybe he doesn't need that tan after all.
His game last night against the Coyotes was fun to watch.

Verified Purchase
Good stuff!
This product has been a godsend. After just one bottle (plus daily exercise - walking in the park) my adrenals calmed down and stopped causing me stress and fatigue. My adrenals now are in much better shape . . . but whenever I run out of the Liquid Phyto-Caps I can start to feel a bit of the old burning and stress coming back. So that's when I jump online and reorder. Thanks to iHerb for the great savings

Great Adrenal Support!
Posted by Reviewer2860352 on Oct 19, 2013
I was recently tested and was found to have an elevated TSH level. I just started on this supplement a few days ago, and I can already feel a big difference! I do exercise regularly and I take a plethora of supplements, but this really compliments my regimen well. I initially tried a product with glandular constituents, and I found that to have side effects (mostly nausea!). With this product, I feel no side effects - only increased energy and well-being. Definitely give this one a try. BTW - this is my first review of a product ever. That has to count for something!
Very effective!
Posted by Reviewer2371746 on Mar 30, 2009
I have been using this product for seven months now and it is very effective for giving the support needed for my overactive adrenals. I have fewer spikes and episodes of nervousness when using this consistently. I would recommend this to anyone dealing with adrenal issues. It is pure and easily digestible.
Sress Support & More Energy
Posted by CoolinArizona on Oct 04, 2010
I have had hair analysis for about 2 years now and used other supplements for supporting my adrenals based on the test results showing weakened adrenals. I switched to Gaia adrenal health and noticed a difference in my energy and stamina levels almost immediately. These herbs are about as pure as they get and I like that they are all vegetarian, no fillers and alcohol free. Gaia herbs are the best in my mind.
Posted by Reviewer1057804 on Dec 12, 2010
I love this product! I am using it for adrenal fatigue and it has worked wonders for me! Definitely the best thing I have tried. I am on my second bottle and will continue to use it. So happy to have found this...it does what it claims.
Good for your nerves and your figure

I don't think this product is enough on its own, but if you actively try to practise relaxation etc, this is a really good product to support you with that. I was going through a really bad high-stress, no-sleep period, and after starting this supplementation it's been a lot easier to stay at an optimal energy level and sleep enough. I also need less coffee to stay alert, and I can see my abs again. Super! :)
Excellent Product

I have been taking this product for a number of months now and this was actually prescribed by a physician. It certainly has helped my adrenal problems as well as my allergies.
i love this product

I buy these on iherb as i order other things that are more expensive in australia and i was looking for a good adrenal herbal formula - a blogger had recommended them upon taking a look at the reviews it seemed a good option to order...well... i love these liquid phyto caps - i really noticed a difference when i ran out - and in stressful times and when i am up cooking all night or at my desk to stupid hours it really makes a difference and soothes the trauma i am creating for my body! so anecdotally i say these are fantastic ...i sometimes also use some adrenal cortex from thorne and i drink teas with tulsi and lavender - and sometimes i really try to just get to bed on time and rest and meditate and do yoga and all the other things that support the adrenals - i herb you are awesome!
Anthony Williams recommended product - excellent!

I found this product excellent in effectiveness, increasing physical energy. However you have to take 4 a day so one bottle of 60 doesn't last long and needs to be factored into your order.
My holistic gave me this
Posted by Reviewer1558522 on Feb 01, 2010
I find that it really helps my energy. I take 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.

"I thought he looked outstanding. It was my decision to keep on the defensive left side because I thought we could save some running for him going back and forth. I wanted to take that away from him because he only had the week of practice. I just wanted to put him on the left and we put Cro on the right. Hindsight being what it is, we probably should have matched him on [Anquan] Boldin. At the time, I felt it would be better for Darrelle that we just keep him in one spot where he wouldnt have to travel. We did that last year in some games. Wed have a right corner and left corner. Obviously, the day that Boldin had, its probably easy to go back and question that."

Hindsight Rex? I was screaming at my TV in the second quarter because Boldin was running up and down the field and Mason is far less of a threat.

It was a chess match. Once they realized after they moved Boldin around and Revis wasn't on him it was on.

Speaking of Brownies, my daughter is one. Last week her Girl Scout Brownie troop participated in a healthy cooking demo at the HyVee in Sycamore with a registered dietitian. One of the recipes that they made was a black bean brownie.
I have substituted applesauce for fat in baked goods before, but have never tried using black beans. The beans replace the oil and egg that are typically added to the brownie mix. The idea is that the beans will provide the moisture to the brownies that the fat normally would, but will be lower in fat and calories, and higher in protein and fiber.
Healthy brownies? Count me in!
Tonight my girls and I will be making the following recipe at home and I will tell you how it turns out later in the week.

Twenty years since the day the music died
August 09 2008 09:37AM
I can still remember where I was, walking though the "Bay" in hell, I mean Calgary with my parents. It was on the wall of tv's......
I was in the process of moving that August. On the 9th, I was in Edson but my TV and stereo were still back in Edmonton. I first heard the shocking news on Edson's CJYR radio and didn't want to get out of the car even though I had lots to do there. It didn't take long for me to decide to scrap my plans and drive back to Edmonton so I could stay tuned to the reaction back home.
I was seven years old, and I too shed tears. I'm pretty sure it was the first time in my young life that I had felt loss and disapointment.
Tough, tough day. Even worse when my mom bought me a Kings hat. I didn't forgive her for that until last week.
However... it was twenty nine years ago today that we drafted my favorite Oiler of all time, MR. MARK MESSIER.
August 09 2008, 05:26PM
In 1987 I have my first ever memory of being at an Oilers game. I was standing with my face pressed against the glass in the Oilers zone during warm-up. I was in awe watching the team doing their drills. All except W ayne Gretzky. He was standing watching the team do their thing right in front of me and I asked my Dad why Gretzky doesn't have to practice. He said, "Because he is the greatest. They are all trying to be as good as him." Just as he said that, Gretzky tapped the glass to get my attention, looked right at me and gave a nod and a wink and skated off to join the rest of the team. Something so simple, yet 20 odd years later it still resonates in me. On August 9, 1988 I was 8 years old and I was sitting in the living room when my Dad heard the news on the T.V. I couldn't then, nor can I today understand why he had to go. Gretzky is God. Never forget.
August 09 2008, 10:24PM
I was outside Molson House during the press conference, and hoped they would announce it was all a joke. Screw you Pocklington
Katz was right when he said that Pockilngton shouldn't be hated for the trade. If not for him, we wouldn't have a team. That said, I would still kick him in the scrotum if I ever met him on the street.
Jeremy -
uh huh. straight up
I was a paperboy making deliveries when I saw the headline,"Gretzky Gone". I almost vomited I was so upset. I can pinpoint the exact moment I became an Oilers fan: when Grant Fuhr made his stand in New York back in '84 for a 1-0 victory in game one of the final. Years later when the trade happened I was still so young it hadn't occured to me that the Oilers wouldn't just go on winning forever. The fact the Oilers were not invincible hit me like a tonne of bricks with that headline... Call it a death of innocence. It remains my policy to this day to not brake for Pocklington in a street crossing.

Attractive, Not Run-of-the-Mill
"This is an attractive shoe. It was a Christmas gift for my conservative husband. Although it's not your run-of-the-mill, common-looking casual/sneaker-like shoe, it received a thumbs up -- he was very pleased. Although he works in a professional downtown office, he wears comfortable walking shoes through town and changes. He has yet to put it to the true test for comfort by walking a lot in it on hard cement, but he always seems to be able to tell right away by trying shoes on. I can't say whether it runs short/long or narrow/wide because sizes seem to be in flux these days. Way back he was strictly a 9 1/2 and I was strictly a 7 1/2, and I find myself getting 8's these days and getting 10's and 10 1/2's for him. do think he has a wide foot, and the medium is fine; maybe the larger size helps."

After the nicest weekend of the year many of you woke up this morning with a bad farmer tan, a burnt face or visions of sun dresses and bikinis. Hopefully it was the latter, but as we gear up for an awesome week of patio weather we'll recap a conversation with Justin Schultz, who he should play with next season, dominant athletes and the Esks woeful offence.
I chatted with Schultz on Friday and my first impression is that he's a very humble young man. He consistently mentioned "If I make the team," in many of his replies. He wants to get stronger before camp, and feels that his ability to move the puck will be his best asset in the NHL. He also saw the Oilers youth, Ralph Krueger's vision and Edmonton's geographic location as major reasons why he choose the Oilers.
"I felt it was the best fit for me, if I ultimately make the team. There is a bunch of young players I'll be able to play with, the coach Ralph Krueger was a huge influence on me and just playing in Canada is going to be pretty cool. I grew up around the game in Canada, I know what it is like and it's going to be fun," said Schultz.
What about the pressure of playing in Canada?
"My buddy Jake Gardiner plays for the Leafs and he loves it. He loves that it is hockey all the time, and he did say there is pressure with it (playing in Canada), but he said it takes time to get used, so I'll see how it goes for me. I'm really looking forward to it.
What did Krueger say that influenced your decision?
"We had a pretty good conversation and he actually showed me a video clip of when he was at a Stanley Cup final game in Edmonton in 2006. He told me it will be like that there again when we start winning, and I'm excited to be a piece that can hopefully help us get there."
Did you know he was a motivational speaker, and did he motivate you during your meeting?
"He definitely fired me up. I didn't know he was a motivational speaker until after. I could have figured it out based on what he said, but he was very inspirational when he spoke to me."
What did Taylor Hall tell you about Edmonton from a player's perspective?
"Just how the fans in Edmonton love their team and how great it is to play there. He talked about the teammates and how close of a group there are. You could see his passion for his team and that was great."
Did Hall sell you on how much this team needed a young right-handed D-man?
"That was definitely part of the conversations I had with him and the Oilers. I haven't made the team yet, but if I did that was definitely an area they saw me fitting in to. That was a big factor in my decision."
What is the best attribute of your game right now?
"I think my poise and vision on the ice. I think what really helped me in my second and third years in College was seeing the ice and making plays. Hopefully I can bring that to the Oilers."
Your former coach Mike Eaves said you are exceptional on the powerplay. What is your philosophy with the man advantage?
"Just being patient and having poise, seeing lanes, passing lanes and shot lanes. I learned a lot my first year playing with guys like Brandon Smith and Derek Stepan. Definitely my second and third year I improved a lot on the powerplay. Having the confidence to be patient leads to the most success I think."
Schultz currently weighs 190 and he said he'll be focusing on getting stronger not just gaining weight. He'll come to camp between 190 and 195 pounds.
There is no guarantee that Schultz will make the team, but I'd say there is a very good chance he'll be on the opening night roster, but who he plays with isn't a guarantee. There are a few options.
I'd be surprised if Krueger didn't keep Ladislav Smid and Jeff Petry as a pair to start the year, so I won't include Smid as a viable option. I think Smid is the Oilers best shut down D-man and he'll face the best players on most nights, so it wouldn't make much sense to play him with a rookie.
If Ryan Whitney is healthy, and he says his off-season training is going very well, then he will log a lot of minutes. When Whitney was healthy at the start of the 2010 season, he made every partner look better. He has been powerskating this summer for the first time in three years, and if he can get his footspeed back to where it was in 2012, he could be an option for Schultz.
I think Nick Schultz might be the best option if they are looking for a mentor.
He's incredibly smart, rarely makes a mistake, doesn't get caught out of position and would be a great on-ice tutor for the younger Schultz. Kevin Quinn and Jack Michaels might be the only guys who wouldn't approve of this pairing.
The only concern about playing Schultz with Schultz is that would leave Whitney to play with Corey Potter, Sutton or Peckham, unless they find a way to acquire another top-four D-man via trade or free agency. I know some fans, bloggers and media have written off Whitney and feel he is destined to be a 3rd pairing D-man. I'm not one of those guys.
Suggesting that Whitney is done is just as ridiculous as suggesting that J. Schultz is automatically ready to be a top-four D-man without playing one game. If Whitney is healthy he is still a top-four D-man, and I suspect J. Schultz will be a top-four defender, but he doesn't have to be one on opening night.
The Oilers could start Schultz on the 3rd pairing with Andy Sutton or Theo Peckham. Krueger could shelter him from facing top-six forwards for the first few months of the season and possibly make his transition to the NHL a bit easier.
I'd lean towards starting him in your 3rd pairing, while having him on the 1st or 2nd PP units.
Who do you think they should play J. Schultz with?
Is Roger Federer the most dominant athlete in the last 20 years? Some will say it was Tiger Woods, but when you look at their numbers, it is hard to argue that Federer hasn't been more dominant.
- He's won 17 majors after winning Wimbledon for the 7th time yesterday. He's won 17 majors in 10 years.
- He's the first man to win the Wimbledon-US Open double four years in a row.
- He's the only man to win five consecutive titles at two different Grand Slams, Wimbledon 2003-2007 and US Open 2004-2008.
- He reached 23 consecutive Grand Slam semi-finals, meaning he was top-four in majors for almost six straight years. Many tennis pundits feel this is his greatest record.
- Between 2005 and 2006 he went 173-9.
- Unlike Woods, who played minimal no-major tournaments, Federer played in more tournaments yet still won the Majors.
- And the athleticism and endurance necessary to be a top tennis player far exceeds that of a great golfer.
- I like that J. Schultz wants to play in a Canadian market, and I wonder if Rick Nash really is a superstar if he only wants to play in the States. I could understand if Nash was like Roberto Luongo and spent years in a hockey hotbed, but Nash has played his entire career in Columbus, and now the only teams on his short list include Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Jose and New York with the Rangers. Those teams are contenders, but Ottawa was very interested and the Sens have lots of talent as well. I think Nash is very good, but he still has some "junior" tendencies in his game. He tries to beat guys one-on-one all over the ice, and while that works in junior it doesn't in the NHL. I'm guessing his new coach will remove that element from his game.
- The Oilers would be better served to wait until late August to sign any of the remaining UFA defenders. The longer they wait the cheaper those players become. They could look at Michal Rozsival, Carlo Colaiacovo, Brett Clark, Pavel Kubina or Scott Hannan if they really want to add another veteran.
- They currently have seven D-men signed: Whitney, Schultz, Schultz, Smid, Petry, Potter and Sutton while they've qualified Peckham and they have Colten Tuebert. They likely need another experienced guy, in case of injury, but I don't see any need to rush out and sign him this week.
- Speaking of greatness, Anderson Silva is the most dominant MMA fighter. He's yet to lose in the UFC, and he crushed the #1 contender. Sonnen took Silva down early in the first round, but he didn't inflict any damage because Silva's ground defence was superior. In the 2nd round Silva showed great takedown defence, and when Sonnen slipped, Silva pounced and finished him. True champions know how to finish.
- Don't be surprised if Vince McMahon goes after Sonnen. Sonnen is a great wrestler, and he'd be unreal on the WWE microphone. He is good buddies with Steve Austin, and at 35 years of age, unless Silva retires, Sonnen is never winning the middleweight belt. Sonnen could make more money in WWE as well.
- Where are all the fans who thought Ricky Ray was the problem for the Esks? Ray went 30-for-40 and 407 yards in Toronto's 39-36 win over Calgary, while Steven Jyles went 10-for-19 and 91 yards and Kerry Joseph was 3-for-6 for 25 yards in the Esks 17-1 loss. Ray leads the league with 705 passing yards through two weeks, and he's doing that without any big-name receivers and an ok O-line.
I ripped that trade when Eric Tillman made it, and I don't see how anyone is surprised the Esks offence looks woeful through two weeks. Jyles has never been consistently accurate. Sure he has a stronger arm than Ray, but being able to over throw receivers doesn't lead to many completions.
I said Tillman was putting his job on the line when he made that deal, and unless Matt Nichols can come off the bench and make some completions the Esks are in trouble.
Yesterday a spry, young Marg Ritchie celebrated her 80th birthday by going skydiving. (Me, Marg and Len Pick in above photo).
I was lucky enough to be asked if I wanted to go and didn't hesitate at saying yes. I've always wanted to go skydiving, but it ended up being even better than I thought.
We jumped out from 12,500 feet (About 2 1/2 miles) and you free fall for 50-60 seconds. The parachute releases at around 5,500 feet and then you experience what it feels like to soar like a bird.
The original jump out of the plane was awesome. If you are thrill seeker, I highly recommend going. The staff at Edmonton Skydive was great and if you are worried about the landing, don't, it was very soft.
Happy 80th Marg, that was a blast.
July 09 2012, 12:18PM
You jumped out of a perfectly good plane? Why?
July 09 2012, 12:41PM
Our Eskies have always been a good distraction to help bridge the gap between hockey seasons. By the looks of things it could be one of the longest offseasons on record. All of a sudden the coaches and management don't appear to be as smart as last year. The leagues best defence along with one of the strongest groups of receivers in the CFL, it all could come crashing down without a quarterback. Might as well put Nichols in and let him find his way.
How many sleeps till training camp arrives?
July 09 2012, 01:34PM
I happen to know someone who had an accident while skydiving, and I'm with you 1000% on this one, RB!
Although you would never catch me jumping out of a plane (I barely like to get on them at the best of times)....
...I know someone that had an accident walking across the street.
cant wait to see our PP next year and glad to see RFed is first in the world again

Pair the Schultz's. Then have Colonel Klink videos played at Rexall with the infamous "SCHUUUUUULTZ!"
Based on his play, I think that Sutton should be give more ice time and responsibility with the younger d-men.
This guy never seems to get the recognition that he deserves......I do not recall too many time when he got beaten one on one. His reach and ability to defend makes him a solid shut-down type of defenseman. He also make poised plays with the puck and did score ocassionally with nice plays!
I say this guy is under rated.
Gregor, you are in love with summer dresses.
July 09 2012, 12:25PM
Woods fell fast and hard after his scandel, and was a non-factor in most of his tournaments. Federer has been consitently strong on all surfaces (although grass is obviously his favourite).
Why couldn't Whitney play with Petry?
Whitney - Petry Smid - J. Schultz N. Schultz - Potter/Sutton
MMA talk? Love it.
J. Schultz N. Schultz
Get the grizzled vet to show the kid the ropes. It really is a no brainer.
Leave Smid Petry as the #1 one unit.
J. Schultz N. Schultz as #2
The one legged man(is legged a word?) and whomever is not in the press box as #3
What I would really like to see is a top 4 d-man come in.
Big #2 center would be nice too.
You jumped out of a perfectly good plane? Why?
I happen to know someone who had an accident while skydiving, and I'm with you 1000% on this one, RB!

@Quicksilver ballet
On the contrary, it was a wonderful weekend. As usual, my team is building high expectations so that they can be crushed at playoff time. I keep hoping, though. Being a Rider fan has developed enough patience for me to be able to wait through the Oiler rebuild.
(Long-time lurker, first-time poster)
Jason, have you heard if the Oilers have initiated discussions with the Smid camp on a contract extension?
Given the $$$ Suter/Carle/Wideman received on their SPC's Smid's value has certainly gone up but it would appear that he would like to remain with the organization long-term. It would be great if they could come to an agreement soon so that there's no distractions around the trade deadline.
Our Eskies have always been a good distraction to help bridge the gap between hockey seasons. By the looks of things it could be one of the longest offseasons on record. All of a sudden the coaches and management don't appear to be as smart as last year. The leagues best defence along with one of the strongest groups of receivers in the CFL, it all could come crashing down without a quarterback. Might as well put Nichols in and let him find his way.
How many sleeps till training camp arrives?
Yup, not saying I was against trading Ray but I would have thought you would get someone more reliable as a quarterback. Its was depressing trying to watch the game last night.
MMA, I just wish someone would beat the sh*t out of Silva. If Sonnen hadn't of slipped I think it would have been a totally different story. Also did anyone notice how Silva took the vaseline from around his eyes and rubber it all over his arms shoulders and chest. And tell me this, how much do you really get off using a towel?????
Also we have too many forwards going on now and I for one would prefer to have the 4th be nothing but young guys fighting and clawing for the spots. Tuff the other Vets espically Belanger, CVV can do just as well as Belanger did last season in my opinion. What do you all think?
July 09 2012, 01:19PM
@ Jason Gregor:
I think it's fairer to say that the comments on Whitney are less that the Oilers should write him off and more that they're taking a risk if they rely on him.
If he is healthy and can stay healthy, he's absolutely a top-four defenseman. But how confident do you feel that he is/will be healthy? It's not a knock on the player, it's just something the team needs to include in its calculations.

Just for the record not saying I'm a Sonnen fan or a Silva hater but after that fight with Mia and Silva unwillingness to engage I lost a lot of respect for him.

@ Jason Gregor
Missed one Jason. The rule (implemented July 1st 2010) is all newbs (OilersRidersChargers) were to be spayed/nuetered before posting here on ON. This is in conflict with article No. 8543697382567203935673 in the HFD guide.
Welcome to Oilersnation OilersRidersChargers. Please try to keep the rider pride to a minimum.
Had my kids already, been snipped. :-)
The plan here in Edmonton was always to find the next Travis Lulay/Drew Tate. Tillman just jumped a year early. Too bad the 1st overall in the CFL draft doesn't help as much as Nail will.
In the meantime, my Rider Pride is keeping its head down until we beat BC or Calgary.
Ricky Ray trade = stupid
Anderson Silva > Federer > Woods
Gretzky > Silva
Gregor: I've been told you look kinda like me (or the other way around)...I've definitely got the same haircut...looks good!
Did the skydiving thing last summer for my 29th bday - it was a phenomenal experience...I recommend it for anyone looking to be able to say they lived their life to the fullest (even though the actual experience is only about 15 minutes while the rest of your life is spent in front of a computer chearing on the Oilers).
I would pair the Schultz's. Nick is strong enough defensively to support Schultz junior.
Ideally, the Oilers go forth and sign one more defender to work with Whitney should he be healthy, and as Whitney insurance in case his is not.
Assuming Smid and Petry are top pair, you could split the ice fairly evenly between the other two pairs if Whitney is good to go, or adjust up or two ice time between the other two pairs as the game warrants.
I like the idea of a Schultz line, but I don't like the idea of them being our second pairing. I hope Whitney gets healthy and I hope we get another veteran depth defender like the ones suggested. That way we can have Smid and Petry on number one. A very solid and competent number 2 vet line with Whitney and ? Then the Schultz line can go out at number 3, and he can be mentored by one of the better positional defenders in the league, while playing against easier offense.
This also works nice if Yak ends up on the third line as we'll be able to see Schultz fire some nice breakout passes to the other rookie. This entire line structure gets more interesting if the D man we end up getting is Klefbomb. Then I really am praying Whitney gets healthy as a healthy Whitney Klefbomb line at 2, with the Schultz on 3 begins to get a little dicey, especially in the first half of the season.
Is it possible to get Smid on mic saying, "Hi, I'm Ladi; this is my brother Schultz, and this is my other brother Schultz."
July 09 2012, 02:43PM
Q...HFD Guide?
hockey for dummies...speaking of dummies
Tilman ...is it at all possible our Eskimo GM got asked by Mr.MarkCohon of the CFL to trade the RickyRay to Argonauts because the Argos need to be in the hundredth GreyCup game and win it because the game's being played in Toronto?
...and how much did the Esks actually benefit
July 09 2012, 02:48PM
Not sure what Tillman had to gain selling his soul to the devil like that. Grounds for dismissal is what that earns you i'd have to think. Eric sewered his own football club with this deal.
The board of directors must've ordered the rope for the public hanging by now :)
Oiler Domination to Follow
Whitney as our #5 potentially - is this the same oilers team?
The Defense has come a long way - we add a solid #4 cheap - short term and we will finally have D depth -
I cant believe I just said that
July 09 2012, 03:23PM
WW predicts:
Whitney will come back strong; by the end of the year he'll be the Whitney that was a 1-2 dman.
Long before the end of the season we'll all know why the Schultz signing was such a big deal. 3 years from now the kid is an all star.
By the end of the year there will be no question as to why RK was the right coaching hire. Many will be drawing comparisons between he and Scotty Bowman the younger.
Within 3 years MPS and Hartikainen will be integral members of the club.
Anton Lander will disappoint.
Two of Moroz, Pitlick and Hamilton will be on the Cup winning team of 2016-17.
7 of Schultz, Schultz, Whitney, Smid, Petry, Klefbom, Teubert, Gernat, Marincin and Davidson will be on that same 16-17 cup winning team.
Tambellini will still be GM.
RNH, Hall, Yak, and Eberle will be in the scoring top 10 in 16-17.
Before they win the Cup, the Oil will have acquired a 2nd line centre with size and skill.
And finally, in order to keep the team together financially, the Oil will have to hope that Gretzky, Coffee, Messier and Anderson are able to convince the young nucleus that sometimes a home town discount is a 'life,' decision. Opportunities to go down in history, together, recognized as one of the best clubs ever assembled don't grow on trees.
Ray has won nothing for the last 7 seasons, missing the playoffs many times. Would not have made it out of the west semi final in 04 if it were not for Maas. Don't disagree with trading him at all but surely the Esks could come up someone better than Jyles and Joseph???
July 09 2012, 04:15PM
If you think this weather is good your crazy. I almost died just getting to the rec center.
This weather is me sitting in a cold bath all day.
It's only 2 games for the Esks, chemistry takes time, if it develops at all. It was a dumb trade but it may not be the end of the world yet.
Go Oil.
Ray/Eskimos were brought up, so I figure it's okay to comment. At the time of trade, I was sure he had someone lined up to QB (Burris). I like Ray though he's not as good as Cavillo and I think you have to be as good as Cavillo to play that style in this league. Ray will do fine but I don't believe you can win a championship nowadays with nothing to complement the drop back pocket passer.
Almost bought season tickets this year but decided against it figuring that with no QB it would mean sitting through many disappointing games. So far I don't regret that decision. Until the Offence starts doing someting, it's PVR and Esk's in an hour.
The defence looks good and much improved!!
July 09 2012, 05:19PM
The Esks have to change something offensively. I don't think it has to be Jyles though. The Esks are trying to make Jyles something that he isn't instead that should be building the offence around his strengths. He's great running the ball so we should get him outside the pocket as he looks more uncomfortable inside it then the thought of Brownlee skydiving ;).
The offense needs to change more the Jyles because there is no better option. Joseph doesn't have it anymore and Nichol isn't ready. Sask just pinned their ears back and flew up field towards Jyles because he was hopeless under pressure yet I didn't see a single screen play aside from one near the beginning of the game before Sask was really coming hard.
Make the offense fits the players instead of forcing players into an offense.
I have no issue with trading Ray.He never was a favourite of mine.
Pocket passer below average arm and very little mobility.
To win in the CFL requires a scrambling QB with a better than average arm.
The issue I have with Tillman is not replacing Ray.
Jyles and Joseph, come on now.
There should have been at least two late NFL cuts from last year in camp along with a journeyman washed up by NFL standard QB.
Maybe even a couple undersized (again by NFL standard) recent college grads.
Tillman had to know what he had in camp would not cut it.If he didn't that is grounds to let him go.Gross incompetence.
July 09 2012, 11:59PM
The skimos are, what,1-1? Relax. It's too early for an Ottawa Roughrider-type player airlift.
Federer is an all-time great but could he beat Serena Williams? Maybe in a tennis match but in a fight? No chance, he would be outweighed and out-gunned.
Fights. Silva. I would like to see a return to classic UFC, no weight categories, no time limit and no rules. Nut shots and all. Real blood sport. Roice Gracie remains unparalleled.
What to do with Schultz? The play at even strength is going to come at him faster than imagined. He needs to play 3rd pairing competition, with Sutton as mentor/protector. The PP is another story. He will have time to see the ice and should succeed right away. As far as the Col. Klink video, good idea. A less good idea would be to show a Col. Hogan home movie(that Bob Crane was a naughty boy)
Quick asked how many zzzz until camp? I for one am too excited to sleep. Bring it on NOW.

GDB22: Another Matinee
November 28 2008 10:37PM
What could be more exciting than a matinee game against the St. Louis Blues? How about an Oilers team that could very well lose the game?
We don't know what to make of this squadron. What happened to the team that was going to come in first in the Northwest? What happened to the team MacT basically told "don't be too confident lads. Take 'er as she comes" a few short months ago? The Oil got 99 problems and over confidence ain't one.
What happened to the team that made us buy Oilers Pyjamas and A Dustin Penner Snuggle Bug Teddy Bear? (trademark pending)
The only thing more exciting this game is, well pretty much everything. So of course we will be watching.
Damn you Oilers. You had better win.
November 29 2008, 01:11PM
I think Peckham would be a good fit too.
LOL wow that was a weak shot
November 29 2008, 01:11PM
a goal, just one goal please....If I only drank when they scored, I'd need AA by now.
November 29 2008, 01:11PM
You know who needs to score? ANYBODY!
November 29 2008, 01:11PM
Penner, Penner, Penner...
top shelf is where the cookies are for Pens.

November 29 2008, 01:13PM
BM - you got a seat on there for me?
November 29 2008, 01:13PM
Bagged, I got the windows washed so we can see don't miss a bus stop
November 29 2008, 01:13PM
BM - shotgun!!
November 29 2008, 01:14PM
What the hell was he shooting at? There was absolutely no room for him to sneak a puck in on that side. Alex Ovechkin he is not.
you're late to the party Law. back of the bus.
November 29 2008, 01:14PM
I robbed a school bus and took the seats. There's plenty of room.
November 29 2008, 01:15PM
#@!~%! Nice job El Capitano
November 29 2008, 01:15PM
I think we're going to see a trade first, if only a minor one before Katz kicks MacT out on his ass.
Do you think MacT has lost his enthusiasm? He seems tired, and without passion. NO yelling, no jump. He says the right things but I think he's at the end of his rope. Maybe he needs to get away?
November 29 2008, 01:15PM
Cole has been a Peirre Maguire monster minus some scoring chances
November 29 2008, 01:15PM
I got my thumb out. Please pick me up.
November 29 2008, 01:15PM
So when is this season saving trade going to happen again?
November 29 2008, 01:16PM
Shouldn't your captain lead by example? So, a slashing penalty in front of the OTHER team's net is good then?
November 29 2008, 01:16PM
Jesus suck nards....,shorthanded again
November 29 2008, 01:16PM
Fiveandagame, who do you see going away?
November 29 2008, 01:16PM
TD you're going to have to show a little leg to get picked up.
November 29 2008, 01:17PM
Mact does look stressed, but it has been while since he took a man's life.
nice to see a blocked shot.
November 29 2008, 01:17PM
I think the Oilers 4th line should go out and each guy grabs a player and drops the gloves.
November 29 2008, 01:18PM
Nice blocked shot by horcs
November 29 2008, 01:18PM
He's like a vampire that way. He must feed.
where's wayne? doin' chores?
November 29 2008, 01:18PM
Our 4th would get their asses kicked. Tkachuk has old man strenght would beat all their asses
November 29 2008, 01:18PM
It was a woman... but uh, oh man we can't go there. not cool.
Ha, nice one HO GO. I doubt that will last long on the site, cuz I know a comment of mine like that was taking down quickly.
November 29 2008, 01:19PM
When was the last time there was a good bench clearing brawl? That type of thing bonds a team. Get on it Souray.
November 29 2008, 01:20PM
"Fiveandagame, who do you see going away?"
Depends on what we are getting in return. But Veteran D are hard to come by. I think Staios would be a good bet for a team looking for late season depth or to cover for an injury. It would be a big shake up for the team considering his friendship with Moreau and Souray. It would certainly get people angry.
November 29 2008, 01:20PM
I'm curious, before the break it was Cole, Hemmer and Poo....was that just a mish mashed line change goof? or is that a blender result?
November 29 2008, 01:20PM
Sarah Palin should go on Milf Hunter.
November 29 2008, 01:21PM
PALIN COMPARISON! OH Gene you've done it again!!!!!
November 29 2008, 01:21PM
Why make Souray and Moreau angry though, they have beenamong the best and most consistant
November 29 2008, 01:22PM
somebody needs to do something to get people angry and desperate! Rod phillips is pissed
November 29 2008, 01:22PM
Please, can the Oilers NOT be the team that Tkachuck gets his 1000th point? I hate when the Oil are on the bad end of a milestone stat.
November 29 2008, 01:22PM
Forget the damn kid line already. Dammit! Put Cole with Nillson and Gagner and drop Cogliano to the third.
So does everybody up Shaw have an HD feed? Other channel still says 'channel will be available shortly'
November 29 2008, 01:23PM
five, are you listening to the game? Not near a tv?
November 29 2008, 01:23PM
I'm pissed too, and have all day to keep this buzz going
November 29 2008, 01:23PM
That does it. They're making Rod Phillips angry, now I'm angry. He hope he takes refuge in one of Stauffer's necks.
November 29 2008, 01:23PM
Prove me wrong kids! Prove me wrong...
November 29 2008, 01:23PM
No HD here bruthah...tomorrow's game will be though, according to my guide.
November 29 2008, 01:24PM
"Why make Souray and Moreau angry though, they have beenamong the best and most consistant"
To put the fear of souray and Moreau in the rest of the team. Moreau should slap the smirk off of Nilsson's face.
November 29 2008, 01:25PM

June 14 2013 06:29AM
It is one of the most famous goals in the history of the NHL. Petr Klima--his ass stapled to the bench for most of the game--jumps over the boards and earns eternal fame. It happened exactly that way.
Petr Klima was a well regarded NHL prospect, and arrived as part of an exceptional draft season for the Detroit Red Wings. In 1983, Detroit selected Steve Yzerman, Bob Probert, Joey Kocur, Klima, Lane Lambert and Stu Grimson in one draft. That's an outstanding draft.
Klima of course was from Litvinov, but was not readily available to the Red Wings. However, as would happen many times during his career, Klima found a way to slip through the cracks and cause a stir
Klima would score 32 goals as a Red Wing rookie, than 30 the next season and 37 the next, but Petr Klima's major skill was getting into the doghouse.
The 'straw the broke the camel's back' came in Edmonton, believe it or not, and it is the stuff of legends.
Imagine a time when Ken Holland was the Western Canadian scout for the Red Wings, when Neil Smith was assistant GM, Colin Campbell assistant coach and poor Jacques Demers the head coach for Detroit. It is a story with endless plot twists, but let's make a long story short: Klima and Bob Probert joined some others and got into trouble the night before a huge game, the team lost a game and a series to the Oilers and the Red Wings were sent reeling as the details of the story reached a national stage (on both sides of the border). The Mitch Albom piece has as much bite today as it did in 1988.
That incident got Klima in trouble and the Red Wings management came down very hard on him. However, Klima's enormous talent gave him another chance--he lasted in Detroit until November 2, 1989. That day, Detroit sent Klima, Adam Graves, Joe Murphy and Jeff Sharples to the Edmonton Oilers for Jimmy Carson, Kevin McClelland and a 5th rd pick. It was highway robbery in the first degree.
Latest OT goal: Petr Klima May 15, 1990--game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals. 55:13 of OT. Klima's most famous for that goal, and the circumstances around it. After all, you have to be pretty deep in the doghouse to be fresh 6 hours into a hockey game, and you have to be lucky to have Jari Kurri make a creative and brilliant play after that long a stretch to set you up. Klima's goal--and his exceptional goal scoring ability--kept him in the NHL for a long, long time.
It is a strong example of that old saying "the hardest thing to do in hockey is score goals." What kind of reputation did Klima have as a player?
- Terry Jones, Edmonton Sun: "Petr Klima is 32 years old, played 12 years in the NHL and has never broken a sweat."
Klima was a splendid player, terrific shot and a scorer's hands, and he was a terrific skater. He is known for a lot of things, but that goal May 15, 1990 trumps all. He is the last Oiler to score 40 in a season. As of 2010, he was living in the Detroit area and doing well.
From this fan's perspective, I always liked Klima. He had a great sense of humor, was an outstanding offensive player and could score goals in bunches. He drove coaches crazy, but I've never really hard a problem with enigma types. Glen Sather used to collect them by the dozen, and if Slats hadn't grabbed Klima in the Carson deal maybe that 1990 Stanley doesn't come home to Edmonton.
Barber pole taped stick. What a goof and what a goal!
June 14 2013, 08:00AM
40 goals and 113 PIM in'91...what a legend!
June 14 2013, 08:07AM
That year was the first cup I remember watching, and Klima was the first Oiler I remember disliking. Strange how I seemed to wipe from my memory that it was he who scored that massive goal.
June 14 2013, 08:49AM
Klima was an unrivaled waste of talent, but that Herman Munster helmet was perfect. As for the notorious Goose Loonies episode, what was the big deal? For big Probert, a couple of lines and it was 'WHERES MY SKATES HAVE YOU SEEN MY SKATES LETS GO'. Hang over be damned.
Wow; seeing that video sends chills down my spine. Funny how seeing reminders of iconic pop culture events in one's life sort of re-frames everything else.
I was one who liked Klima; his talent and speed were mesmerizing. I also remember that backcheck he did in a later playoff year on #99 when Gretz was about to pile in on a slapper from the top of the slot and Klima caught him, stick checked him at the top of his wind up and left #99 on the ice while he turned the puck up ice.
Just great.
Ted Green used to rake Klima up and down calling him chickenpoop and worse..
It went off Klima like water off a ducks back.He was afraid of Green like most everybody on oilers but he couldn't be motivated.Lots of talent not much heart.
Yep....I too remember the Klima yrs with the Oil.
The guy had talent and skill, speed, and,...that striped up stick...lol. But as pretty much is agreed upon overall, the guy had no hard work ethics nor the attitude to get one.
He always just seemed to do as well as needed just to stay on team, although he did score goals too.
But as I do remember also very well, that I cheered loud and happily when he scored in the playoffs big time, especially in that triple overtime against Boston.
Funny how I immediately thought of him/his goal when Shaw scored for Chicago the other night.
June 14 2013, 10:04AM
That was one classic bucket, and that's what I will remember most about Klima :)
Fond memories from a gifted offensive talent . Still have my coasters from 1990-1991 Sports Talk Trivia Winner OLDIES 1260 hosted by J.Short . I won them answering the question , who was the Oilers plus minus leader that year . You guessed it - Petr Klima ! Wondered and questioned the whole overtime time why they were not using him earlier . Klima seemed to be a bit like K.Nielson .
When people talk about Alex Kovalev, I immediately think of Klima. I still remember that goal to this very day...let's hope the glory days will return!
"I like fun, and I like Rambo"
Sounds like Wanye
I was at Peter Klima's first game as an Oiler. He played with Messier and Anderson. Lot's of speed. Peter made a behind the back pass in the neutral zone and put it right on Mark's tape. As a kid and a fan, I loved that pass. But now that I'm older, I can see John Muckler pulling his hair out on that play.
May 15th, 1990. A great day for the Oilers. Klima scores in 3x OT and Jordan Eberle is born!!!
I remember that Kilma goal like it happened ten seconds ago.
Look at the stick that is being projected for the deflection in front by the Mystery Man with all that hair who set the Table for Petr, the perfect body positioning, the perfect amount of pressure on the goaltender, and also in the perfect position to tap it in backdoor.
Really nice timing to delay the playaction get the man to the front perfectly. And good job of going to the net perfectly there Chief.
Klima was like a Taylor Hall type, a pure demon with the puck. Hell on Wheels. Also Hell on coaches last nerves, ha ha ha.
June 14 2013, 03:50PM
I remember that goal very well. I was in Grade 12 and I think the game was on a school night, although I'm not 100-percent sure of that.
A few random memories of that game and series...
- One of the prevailing thoughts of that game was whether or not the Boston Garden was capable of staying operational. Oilers/Bruins finals had a somewhat spotty record in the Gaw-den by that time.
- Esa Tikkanen shadowed Craig Janney so closely that Janney ended up getting dehydrated and carried out to an ambulance. There's a clip on one of those Hockey Night in Canada post-Cup montages (done to the tune of Tina Turner's "Simply the Best"), in which you can see Tikk perfectly matching Janney step-for-step and stride-for-stride for a few moments. (Aside: Isn't it weird how "shadowing" has completely fallen out of the hockey lexicon?).
- By the finals, Bill Ranford was basically the best goalie on the planet. The Bruins had no solution for him. Ranford would remain the best goalie on the planet for at least two or three more years.
- Andy Moog probably ended up having a nervous breakdown after the series. There were times, during the final, when you could see the veins pulsating on his forehead, through his mask.
This would be yet-another final in which Moog would be outdueled by a goalie on his old team, only this time, it wouldn't be Fuhr; but rather some relative-unknown. (Aside: That's why I found it so strange that the Oilers had an Andy Moog Night this past season – he didn't exactly leave the team honourably and didn't have too many nice things to say about it after he left).
- Martin Gelinas was a 19- or 20-year-old and he actually looked less tired as the game wore on. He was dancing throughout most of the game. He probably could have played two more overtimes.
- I remember Harry Neale comparing Steve Smith to Larry Robinson in that series; which might seem ridiculous now, but for that spring, Smith did resemble the Big Bird. Big, rangy guy who skated well, moved the puck well and who NO ONE wanted any piece of. Even Cam Neely didn't mess with him.
- Meanwhile, Geoff Smith, probably one of the smoothest skaters I'd ever seen play on the Oilers to that point in their history (and that's saying a lot), made the NHL's All-Rookie team that season... but did not play a minute of hockey in the Stanley Cup final and only three playoff games, period. To this day, I've always wondered why John Muckler didn't have any confidence in him.
- After his goal, I don't remember hearing much from Klima that series. The 40-goal-scorer Klima didn't come until a year or two later ...when he was also a better playoff performer.
- The consensus among the media is that the Oilers were underdogs ... and I suppose they were, on paper ... but that series could have been a best of 15 and the Oilers still would have swept it.
There was no way, at that point in the Oilers' chronology, that guys like Messier, Kurri, Lowe and Anderson were ever going to get that far into the playoffs and lose to a team like Boston. The Oilers got a lot of breaks and some out-of-this-world goaltending, to be sure ... but they just knew how to do all the little things to win. The Bruins just didn't.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Jenangel Great little jacket! This jacket is great for dressing up an outfit as it is form-fitting and shorter than most jackets. The hood is very good and provides great coverage from the rain. I bought the same jacket in white and I am very pleased with both of them. November 6, 2012

Will 2014 be the year of the dollar?
Ira Iosebashvili at the Wall Street Journal checks in on growing bullish opinion. The key: the Federal Reserve is beginning to dial back monetary policy at the same time Japan and Europe are staying ultra-loose.
From Iosebashvili:
Many investors and strategists believe the dollar will move higher next year because the Fed is taking the first steps toward tightening monetary policy while other central banks still are easing. Last week, the Fed said it would begin trimming its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program in January.
Most market players expect the yen to keep weakening against the dollar, as Japan continues to purchase its government bonds to fight chronic deflation and glacial growth. Many also believe that the euro remains vulnerable to the region's moribund economy and political infighting. But it will be the U.S. recovery, which is gaining traction, that will be the buck's biggest driver, said Masato Yanagiya, head of foreign exchange at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. in New York.
"The stock market is much steadier, Treasury yields are rising, and that's all going to help the dollar," Mr. Yanagiya said. "We expect the dollar to stay strong throughout next year." ….
The Fed decision "strengthens our conviction that 2014 will be the year of the dollar," said Aroop Chatterjee, a strategist at Barclays, in a note to investors.
The euro is jumping to a two-year high versus the dollar Friday. The yen slumped to 105 to the dollar this morning, and the 10-year Treasury yield's ascent to 3% makes the dollar that much more attractive.
Among currency ETFs, PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP), down nearly 1% on the year, is down 0.3% in Friday afternoon trading. ProShares UltraShort Euro (EUO) is down 1%, CurrencyShares Euro Trust (FXE) is ahead by 0.5% and ProShares UltraShort Yen (YCS) is gaining 0.7%.

"This is the first pair of leopard print heels I own. Awesome look! Can be dressed up or down depending on your mood. They fit wonderfully. Open toe adds that bit of wow to casual looks or little black dresses. Wish the heel was a little higher."

This year at the 10th annual San Francisco Holiday Luncheon, Wells Fargo was recognized for their generous contributions to The Salvation Army and all of San Francisco. For the Army, the holidays are a special season of service to those in need, and therefore are also a perfect time to contribute to the programs that serve the disadvantaged in San Francisco all year long.
