Oilers Point Projections: The Rest
Robert Vollman
October 31 2012 11:25AM
It's time for our third and final piece of looking at different statistical ways to project how many points each of the Oilers will score.
If you're just tuning in, we explained our methodology in more detail in our first piece, which covered the top-six forwards. We followed that up with a look at the defensemen and finally we'll take a look at the remaining, secondary forwards.
Teemu Hartikainen
One of the many young players that the Oilers are using carefully, 22-year-old Teemu Hartikainen has 10 points and 45 shots in 29 NHL games, which works out to 28 points over a full NHL season. His 74 points in 117 AHL games work out to about the same 25 points in a full NHL season – and our statistical engines put him just a touch higher.
GP G A PTS Last Year 17 2 3 5 VUKOTA 35.5 6.5 7.8 14.3 Best 82 28.5 29.5 58.1 Worst 82 0.0 14.1 14.1 Average 82 14.8 15.2 30.0
Of his ten closest matches three scored 20 goals and four were between 30 and 35 points. If he gets some power play time, as he did in his first season, he could fall into that range himself.
Will he get the opportunities to score this year? Having briefly used him as a top-six forward last year (albeit with an offensive zone slant), the Oilers at least appear to be open to the idea.
Magnus Paajarvi
21-year-old Magnus Paajarvi has 259 shots in 121 NHL games, but just a 6.6% shooting percentage. His 25 points in 34 AHL games last year work out to just under 30 points in a full NHL season, which is exactly where our statistical engines place him this year.
GP G A PTS Last Year 41 2 6 8 VUKOTA 58.8 10.9 13.4 24.4 Best 82 29.0 10.7 39.6 Worst 82 5.9 6.2 12.0 Average 82 12.7 16.3 29.1
Five of the ten closest historical matches were between 30-33 points, including two other young players from the early 80s who began their career in similar fashion – with a strong teenage rookie season followed by a bit of a sophomore slump.
One was a very small but rugged winger who would play 20 NHL seasons, top 40 goals four times and win a Cup with Dallas: Pat Verbeek. The other was an even smaller forward known for his exceptional defensive play, Steve Kasper. He started off as young and strong as Paajarvi, then stumbled with injuries for two seasons before regaining a form that would last six more years.
Paajarvi GP G A PTS 2010-11 80 15 19 34 2011-12 41 2 6 8 Verbeek GP G A PTS 1983-84 79 13 19 32 1984-85 78 10 13 23 Next 76 17 19 36
Kasper GP G A PTS 1981-82 73 13 21 34 1982-83 24 2 4 6 Next 27 2 8 10
Paajarvi has been getting some secondary power play time, but struggled with the fourth lowest offensive zone start percentage among Oiler forwards last year (albeit against depth competition).
Ryan Jones
Claimed off waivers from Nashville, 28-year-old Ryan Jones has scored 17-18 goals in his two seasons in Edmonton, but his assists have varied from 7 to 16. He's had a consistent even-strength scoring rate of 1.3-1.5 points per 60 minutes over the years, and has been a depth power play option (especially since coming to Edmonton), where he occasionally does quite well.
He's been deployed quite differently since coming to Edmonton. Never used on the penalty kill before, now he's a top option. While he's always thrown hits, he was actually a penalty-drawing machine until he wore the copper and blue. And while his possession numbers have always been negative, previously he was getting balanced ice-time against below-average competition while last year he got the much tougher assignment mostly in the defensive zone and against second-line opponents.
GP G A PTS Last Year 79 17 16 33 VUKOTA 67.4 14.0 13.3 27.3 Best 82 22.9 16.5 39.4 Worst 82 4.4 10.9 15.3 Average 82 12.2 15.3 27.5
Four of his ten closest historical matches were on pace for between 28-32 points. Jones' closest historical matches were at the low end – James Black and current Colorado coach Joe Sacco.
Jones GP G A PTS Career 255 50 37 87 2011-12 79 17 16 33 Black GP G A PTS Career 261 46 40 86 1998-99 75 16 15 31 Next 49 8 9 17
Sacco GP G A PTS Career 185 33 32 65 1994-95 41 9 7 16 Next 76 11 12 23
Acquired by the Capitals, Black was the same type of two-way hole-filling winger as Jones, but whose NHL career would unfortunately include only two more part seasons – the same thing that could happen to Jones with all the young talent pushing for ice-time.
As for Sacco, he was playing for the Mighty Ducks at the time, in the middle of a good five-season stretch here he played the two-way hole-filling Jones role before winding out his career many years later as a defensive-minded fourth liner for the Islanders, Capitals and Flyers.
Eric Belanger
Top penalty killer and elite faceoff man Eric Belanger, who turns 35 this December, suffered a very unfortunate season, scoring 16 points and -13 after back-to-back 40-point seasons in Minnesota, Washington and Phoenix, preceded by six seasons in the 33-37 range.
You could say that Belanger was the victim of Edmonton's potentially league-worst depth lines, scoring on just 5.9% of their shots, down from 10.1% that Belanger's linemates posted the year before (of course, Belanger himself dropped down to 3.4% from a career average of 10.5%).
Belanger's scoring is unlikely to bounce back – he's been gradually losing his power play time and although he remains usable, he's treated as a depth option only. At even-strength he's used in the defensive zone more often than any other Oiler forward, but fortunately had the Quality of his Competition ease up from first or second lines to mainly below-average competition.
GP G A PTS Last Year 78 4 12 16 VUKOTA 62.5 6.5 11.6 18.1 Best 82 12.8 24.8 37.6 Worst 82 1.9 7.6 9.5 Average 82 10.6 16.8 27.4
While six of his ten closest historical matches managed 30 points, that didn't include his closest historical match, Rob Niedermayer, who was another defensive-minded center, playing for the Anaheim Ducks at this stage of his career, even winning a Stanley Cup. Niedermayer had already made the transition to a low-scoring defensive line pivot, a role he played very well for four more seasons.
Belanger GP G A PTS Career 794 138 217 355 2010-11 82 13 27 40 2011-12 78 4 12 16 Niedermayer G A PTS Career 854 149 242 391 2005-06 76 15 14 39 2006-07 82 5 11 16 Next 78 8 8 16
Ben Eager
One of the many causes of Edmonton's weak depth lines, Ben Eager (listed at 240 pounds) throws a lot of hits but takes way too many penalties, about 1.5-2.2 per 60 minutes – two or three times what he draws.
Despite being used against competition so weak that Thrasher, Shark and Oiler goalies have had save percentages of .945 and .944 these past two years when he's been on the ice, Ben Eager has chronically negative possession numbers – even when he was used exclusively in the offensive zone like he was in Chicago.
Offensively he's had a consistently even-strength scoring rate of 1.4-1.5 points per 60 minutes in three of the past four seasons (nothing wrong with that), leading to 13-17 points a season.
GP G A PTS Last Year 63 8 5 13 VUKOTA 55.5 6.7 6.4 13.2 Best 82 14.7 18.0 32.7 Worst 82 2.5 2.5 5.0 Average 82 6.9 9.1 16.0
His closest historical matches both scored a measly four points, both Dallas's former Edmonton-born fourth-line pivot Brian Sutherby, and Swedish 1980s-era depth two-way winger Anders Hakansson of the Los Angeles Kings – neither of whom carried the baggage of excessive penalization with them.
Eager GP G A PTS Career 386 42 40 82 2010-11 68 7 10 17 2011-12 63 8 5 13 Sutherby GP G A PTS Career 409 39 47 86 2008-09 59 8 7 16 2009-10 46 5 4 9 Next 51 2 2 4
Hakansson G A PTS Career 292 32 32 64 1983-84 80 10 12 22 1984-85 73 8 9 17 Next 38 3 1 4
Darcy Hordichuk
Darcy Hordichuk has scored 2-5 points a season for six straight seasons, in which he has averaged four to six minutes of what can only charitably be called hockey per game.
Hordichuk throws over 20 hits per 60 minutes, which is absolutely insane, and while he obviously takes too many penalties at least he can draw them too. Usually last in Quality of Competition in his team, Hordichuk was used mostly in the defensive zone in Vancouver, but more offensively in Edmonton.
GP G A PTS Last Year 43 1 2 3 VUKOTA 44.3 2.1 2.9 5.0 Best 82 4.3 8.6 12.9 Worst 82 1.7 0.0 1.7 Average 82 4.1 4.5 8.6
Five of his closest historical matches scored 10 points, probably for teams that didn't have a wealth of 20-year-olds that could make far, far better use of that ice-time.
Lennart Petrell
28-year-old Lennart Petrell, another one of Edmonton's horrible depth liners last season, scored 161 points in 350 games in Finland, which works out to about 15-20 points in a full NHL season. While the historical system requires more data, the VUKOTA system predicts a slight scoring boost this year.
GP G A PTS Last Year 60 4 5 9 VUKOTA 55.3 5.1 6.5 11.6
Although he is probably no better than a random AHL call-up, Petrell does have some value - he throws a lot of hits and doesn't take many penalties. He also blocks a lot of shots and can occasionally be helpful on the penalty kill.
Anton Lander
At least the final terrible depth liner is young enough to developing into someone useful: 21-year-old center Anton Lander.
Though occasionally useful as a secondary penalty-killing option, unfortunately last year Lander was terrible at faceoffs (43.3%), scored just 6 points (thanks in part to a terrible 5.1% team shooting percentage when he was on the ice), and had atrocious possession numbers despite some of the most sheltered ice-time in the entire league.
GP G A PTS Last Year 56 2 4 6 VUKOTA 54.5 4.7 5.8 10.5
Again, the historical comparison system needs more data to run a projection, but the VUKOTA engine predict a slight uptick.
Next Time
That's it! We'll check back in at the end of the season (if applicable) to see how everyone did relative to these expectations. Thanks to OilersNation for giving me this guest spot, thanks to all of you for reading, and I hope you found it interesting.
October 31 2012, 12:57PM
Yet more evidence why Lander, Petrell, Eager and Hordichuk should not be playing in the NHL right now. Unless Petrell has really turned it around with his recent offensive spurt overseas, and maybe Lander will develop a couple years down the road. But frankly I'd rather not see any of those four play a game for the Oilers this/next season.
that Hordichuk sure can throw a FIST
Disagree. Petrell used properly is far more than "a random AHL call-up". For god sake man, you have Darcy "Two minutes every third game" Hordichuk, Ben "Useless is putting it mildly" Eager and Eric "The black hole" Belanger on the roster.
Ghost comments FTW!
October 31 2012, 04:26PM
Good overview on projections, but past performance is not allways indicative of future performance.
The other " softer factors" such as how you are deployed or utilized by the coach is in my opinion even more important.
Case in point Linus Omark, Patrick Thoreson, and now Magnus......if he is played on the top two lines he will blow past the 30 points he is projected to get.
October 31 2012, 07:41PM
Thanks Rob, great job on the 3 articles. Cant wait to see how they compare once we get hockey going Dec 1 (crosses fingers and everything he can).

Laddy smashes personal best goals scored with 15 and takes the next step as a #1 defender.And is then spotted on Whyte Avenue breakdancing to Micheal Jacksons Smooth Criminal the night after he scores his 15th into an empty net,this solo dance goes viral on social networks and starts a retro-breakdanceing craze amongst young Edmontonians.
Way to Go Laddy,nice work so far,moma2 says to send every one of those hot pucks you are scoring with overseas home and keep it on ice--I am gonna need proof to back up all my bragging on your behalf!!

I think it will and i think it will be a love square or triangle but i dont thing that rukia will be in it at all i am thinking orihime and some one else like Nanao Ise so some other soul reaper
I think it will and i think it will be a love square or triangle but i dont thing that rukia will be in it at all i am thinking orihime and some one else like Nanao Ise so some other soul reaper
If I had to choose I would prefer Rukia here.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
if i had to choose ill go with orihime. More to play with. ^ ^. Plus if you where to get rukia mad, she will kendo u something shocking.
You're exactly right, Aizen. My blade is full of hate. I didn't come here to fight you. I came here to violently hack you to pieces. I don't care if this fight costs me my position as a captain if it means being able to kill you.
I didn't think the speed and range of your attacks would suddenly jump up so much after you released. Do not misjudge a Shinigami's power."
If you make Hinamori shed even one drop of blood... I'll kill you.
personally i would go for rukia, i don't get it why ppl don't like her so much, she has a strong personality and she continually worries more for others than for herself.
orihime is just an ichiaholic, not worth mentioning unless all you care for is her body.
And seriously, rangiku?!
Nanao all the way we need to remake the pole with other names

Polygamy? O.o
Rukia would have to stop being a Deathgod, and get special exemptions from SS, probably even have to revert to human if she's to have children.
Orihime is too childish, stupid, and Immature.
When Bleach gets to that point, I'll simply stop reading.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Hmm.. I figure when bleach gets to that point, it will be ending real soon... so I would probably keep reading. Isnt that how it normally is with shonen mangas.. well.. of the like 4 that ive read that have had any romance in them anyway....
Orihime could mature, then she would be a good choice. Right now she is too damn annoying, but she is 15, right? At some point soon she should start to grow up...

It's a very subjective thing. Personally I don't have much of an issue with it, but I do feel that it should have been expounded upon within this chapter to some degree. Maybe then there wouldn't be so much animosity towards it.

It's a very subjective thing. Personally I don't have much of an issue with it, but I do feel that it should have been expounded upon within this chapter to some degree. Maybe then there wouldn't be so much animosity towards it.
Obito is raging because one person died?! Sasuke's whole clan was murdered by his own brother! Can an Uchiha destroy a galaxy?
And I'm sure Kishimoto will get around to explaining it. I highly doubt that he'll leave something this big unexplained. Don't people have any patience? I'm sorry if I seem antagonistic but this all just seems ridiculous to me. Kishimoto hasn't even given the explanation yet and people are already proclaiming plot holes and screwed up timeline.
- Indeed; using both of them, would've made a great impact
Ive said that it was lame to be like this ( timeline wise and other huge details ), but also for a chapter 600, the SUPRISE factor, the reveal wasn't that HUGE!Of course he's brainswashed and all, but we've seen tons of other ocasions with shinobi's ( Nagato, Gaara, Zabuza ) where their loss/pain were from another level AND it really touched the reader from the inside. What Zabuza had to do, what Nagato witnessed and what Gaara had to endure.. all huge factors.
But now, the biggest mysterie of Naruto Manga, takes his mask off, saying he's Obito and claiming that his major factor was his loss of " Rin ". We need to take all the scenarios in account for what he has done to the shinobi world for the past years; the impact on HIS LIFE on for us ( the readers ) should be far more greater then him being entirely " Obito ".
Don't get me wrong, I understand you completely and all the people who loved it.. I'm hoping that Madara brings more intel to the story and kishi somehow fixes things up with the timeline. For me, it's like watching a movie or serie; if the timeline isn't correct, even when the writer is good in what he's doing, then how really GREAT is the movie/serie? The Sopranos / breaking Bad, one of my best series ever made; what would've happened if they screwed a lot of importants plot twists in the series, just by not following up with the timeline?
Timeline is for me atleast, a major detail.. Kishi has time to fix it, lets hope it.
... You're Dead 2 Me Now ...
Yea, i let you understand my sensitive spot for Obito-Rin, cuz i wanted to point out that it's not because of logic that I like the way the story's going. I know Izuna would make a better character to develop the story behind madara and such, but everytime i re-read kakashi gaiden, Obito's words: "Kakashi, Rin..too ad it ends here, I'd love to stay with the both of you for a longer while", i so desperatley wanted him to survive, that now I finally see him, I'm very happy, although I didn't want him to be an evil guy, I still hope he'll get somehow redeemed trying to take madara with him.
Like, in the end he'll get talked by naruto, but he won't be fully convinced. I nthe end he'll just say something like: . "I got tired playing this little game called life. Have fun, bound by this hard reality...trying to change the world. Who knows, maybe you will succeed where i have failed." then faces madara "Madara..I'm taking you with me...to eternal oblivion!!!" then he pulls a huge badass sucking-in-void-dimension-jutsu, pretty much like danzo tried to do with him, just bigger and more spectacular.
P.S: Even though I like the outcome of the last chapters, I too wasn't satisfied fully at this chapter: I expected Obito to be more tragic, explain more stuff about his past, so that we'd understand if his transformation was possible. But he just said it was for Rin. Hell, I knew it all along! tell me something I don't know, right?
- Zetzu, Izuna/Obito --> Perfect!
I get it, it was a very dramatic scene with Obito under that rock, holding Rin and Kakashi breaking down on his knees.. thats what Kishi does with you. Story and chatacter wise for me, seriously.. but lets see what happens now.
Yea, do you really think that he will be convinced by Naruto- talk-no-jutsu?? I don't know yet.. I really have a feeling that Madara is gonna take care of him, OR Kakashi. If you think about it: TOBI ( this is what I meant by character wise ), shouldn't be convinced by talk no jutsu after so many years of horror and manipulation. It would be very weak for the plot.. believe me; Madara Uchiha will NEVER turn over like that, he would rather die.. and so should Tobi.
*** guys, don't take this too litteraly, but; what about Tobi's voice? All these, better said: after his death, it was 1 year later that he talked with Minato.. his teacher. You can't tell me that his voice changed that dramatically, right? Or even with Kakashi.. kakashi was 15 years later, but with Minato it was only 1 year.. naah, overthinking stuff I quess
... You're Dead 2 Me Now ...
And maybe another two to match his height.
Another thing: why do you think obito wanted to learn edo tensei? Maybe he wanted to summon rin at some point in the future before using mugen tsukyomi? If it was so, then he'll certianly get a chance to use it. Maybe rin herself will stop him? Who knows...
And Aga..i said IZuna would make a better character to develop Madara's story...but i never said i had any interest in madara's story. The only thing iwanted to know all along was if I would get to see Obito under that mask, cuz I really wanted him to be alive. But if he's not gonna be redeemed, then he better stayed dead...so i hope he will, one way or another. Maybe in some new unusual way?
And yea, I'm ok with Rin being his main reason for turning evil, but i at least hoped kishi would show us some flshback of rin's death, and boy Obito's despair, just so we could understand what he was going trough, really at that time. Said like this it just feels like empty words, right?
Instead of that annoying flashback frm the gaiden, kishi could have done THIS.
add: Obito was at the age where voice changes quickly + he was wearing a mask, and he could simuate a more darkish voice if he wanted.
Madara joins the fray. I suppose he just left the Kages in the dust to ponder their own weaknesses lol. And to think Kakashi, Gai, and Naruto had their hands full with just Obito, now the invincible Madara shows up to finish the job. Is there a level beyond "Shit just hit the fan"?
Anyway, Kakashi recounted the events of Obito's 'death', but Obito refuses to come clean about how he survived. And obviously, there's more to his going bad than just Rin's death. And now that she's been brought up, I'm sure Kakashi will eventually recount the events that led to her death.

Nice guide, great info
---------- Post added 2012-09-18 at 03:53 PM ----------
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am looking for some UI pics to include in my guide. I am also looking for some tips/tricks that you all use to include in my "Healing Strats" section. Thanks for you're submissions!
WTB Good UI Screenies!
Good job. Thank`s a lot.
Have you found a good amount of Spirit for us Disc Priests? I was sitting at 5k and was still having mana issues...Mindbender is always up and i dont burn PW:S I try and use it every 13 secs for Rapture procs, but still having problems...are we gonna need like 6-7k spirit?
Few things to note, Jeric. One, Rapture's cooldown goes from when it last triggered, not when you cast it. If it triggered 10 seconds ago (Even though you cast it 13 seconds ago, your tank dodged that first hit) and your new shield breaks instantly, you won't get a Rapture proc from that new one and burned a lot of mana with zero return.
Secondly, Rapture isn't really a net mana return, and won't be for awhile. Try to look at it as "This shield is going to be really really really cheap".
That said, what's your Heal (or Smite) usage look like? Are you leaning too heavily on your Flash or Greater button? Crossing over cooldowns, when spreading them out could save you casts and therefore mana?
The sweetspot for each Priest is a very different number depending on who they're running with, what content they're running, and their own playstyle.
~Former Priest/Guild Wars 2 Moderator~
Now TESTING: ArcheAge (Alpha)
Now PLAYING: MonoRed Burn (MtG Standard)
Twitter: @KelestiMMO come say hi!
~When you speak, I hear silence. Every word a defiance~
I am sitting at around 11.3k spirit when I am raiding right now. We are running with a Disc Priest/RDruid and a R. Shammy, so we have a few mana CD's. I am not really using PW:Shield to much because Rapture is a net loss. Hope this helps!
Ugh. I was not thinking wen I responded, Chimaera is correct. With the amount of spirit I have, PWShield is the most mana efficient. Sorry for the confusion!
Thanks for the info guys! will let you all know how it goes!
What about build fullyabout attonement?
I hate looking at the PoH and GH casting times, and casting time for Smite (as only castable spell in Attonement) is tempting. I wondered if build Spi > Crit >> Mastery > Haste with dps trinkets would be any good?
I can succesfully complete every 5-man in Pandaria, using only Attonement, so I wondering if it would be viable for raiding too.
I would recommend just using Holy Fire on cd,low mana cost, instant, smart heal,builds Evan stack. What more could you ask for?
Being just atonement I think is just not viable at this stage of raiding maybe if you out gear the fight and want to clear faster you can dps like this.
This is of course my opinion not backed with math ( I hate math)
*Insert awesome/random/funny signature here*
For a full Atonement build I suggest Haste > Spirit > Crit > Mastery. The extra haste is nice for the DPS out put but this is mostly for using Spirit Shell/Archangel when your healers need you do. Greater haste means more casts, making haste better for Spirit Shell than mastery in theory, however if you're using Spirit Shell on cooldown, or healing being your main requirement, it is much harder to manage your mana around haste, making mastery better (for healing, not straight up Atonement).
Staight up haste build :P
Can anyone suggest me a good addon to track Rapture ICD? I tried Needtoknow, but I was unable to make it work.
So raided normal MSV tonight as disc for the first time since mop was released and I feel mana regen we are fine now.
Hell I was top healing out of a resto shammy and resto druid. By top I mean I did 5 million more healing on feng than the resto shammy.
Divine aegis seems to do the majority of my heals though.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
On March 19 at approximately 3:15 p.m. there was an accident just north of Huntington. A Nielson Construction coal truck was traveling southbound in the outside lane of traffic when it was hit by a van traveling northbound.
The truck driver said he had just come around the corner and saw the van in the inside lane traveling north. It looked like the van had stopped and then just started heading towards the truck. The truck driver left the road trying to avoid a head-on collision with the van. The truck ended up off the road with the back trailer down in the barrowpit and the front trailer off the road as well. The cab of the truck was on the side of the road. The driver was able to avoid the head-on collision and the van struck the truck on the first trailer at the rear axle, severing the axle and blowing the tire. The van glanced off the truck and came to rest facing south in the inside lane of the southbound traffic.
A number of vehicles were in the area at the time of the accident and called for help and stopped and slowed down traffic around the accident. Emergency vehicles arrived on the scene from Huntington, Castle Dale, Cleveland and Elmo. The occupant of the van was a male named James Prettyman who was extracted from the van and taken to Castleview Hospital in Price. Firefighters and rescuers reported the man was hurt pretty badly but should recover just fine. In looking at the van, onlookers said it is a miracle the driver survived the crash.
The Cleveland and Castle Dale fire departments have extraction equipment and they assisted at the scene. A cable was attached to the front of the vehicle and the front of the car was pulled forward to release the man. The paramedics then reached the man from inside the van where his neck was stabilized and he was put on a backboard and then into the ambulance.
The accident is under investigation and it isn't known why the van crossed the centerline into oncoming traffic.

The Local Project Development Teams (LPDTs) for the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) will be meeting at various locations in southwest Wyoming through the first part of August.
Conservation-minded land owners, project proponents and the public are encouraged to attend the meetings which will include updates on existing projects and discussions on potential new projects.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will also demonstrate the Integrated Assessment mapping tool available on wlci.gov. The mapping tool allows project proponents to incorporate current and potential land management activities and support WLCI landscape level planning. The USGS will be working with LPDTs to determine how to incorporate conservation priorities and accomplishments, identify suitable data, provide feedback on tool features and layout, and further train interested team members on using this tool to address specific conservation questions.
The LPDT meetings are scheduled for:
"Anyone interested in landscape-scale conservation is welcome to attend," states WLCI Coordination Team Lead Michele Windsor. "This is a great opportunity to learn how to use one of the many conservation tools available through the WLCI, meet like-minded folks and learn more about what we do."
For more information, please contact Windsor at 307-352-0227 or visit www.wlci.gov.
WLCI is a long-term, science-based effort to assess and enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitats at a landscape scale in southwest Wyoming, while facilitating responsible development of the region's valuable energy resources. The WLCI Executive Committee is comprised of representatives from the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, Natural Resource Conservation Service, Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, conservation districts and county commissioners.

Angel's Ink: The Asylum Tales (Paperback)
Buyer beware . . .
Looking for a tattoo and maybe a little something extra: a burst of good luck, a dollop of true love, or even a hex on an ex? Head to the quiet and mysterious Gage, the best skin artist in town. Using unique potions a blend of extraordinary ingredients and special inks to etch the right symbol, he can fulfill any heart's desire. But in a place like Low Town, where elves, faeries, trolls, werewolves, and vampires happily walk among humanity, everything has its price.
No one knows that better than Gage. Turning his back on his own kind, he left the magical Ivory Tower where cruel witches and warlocks rule, a decision that cost him the right to practice magic. And if he disobeys, his punishment execution will be swift.
Though he's tried to fly under the radar, Gage can't hide from powerful warlocks who want him dead or the secrets of his own past. But with the help of his friends, Trixie, a gorgeous elf who hides her true identity, and a hulking troll named Bronx, Gage might just make it through this enchanted world alive.

Chemistry - Do Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows have it?
Cam Charron
July 17 2013 01:05PM
Reading over Blake's post from yesterday, stumbling across this line, and though back to a day when such a statement would be considered sacrilege:
Burrows hasn't shown a strong chemistry with Kesler in the past...
The truth is that Alex Burrows and Ryan Kesler don't often play together at even strength any more, and when they do, the Canucks tend to get out-scored. This probably something to do with the fact that when Burrows is sided up with Ryan Kesler, the two face some extra-ordinarily tough competition. There's no way to quantify that unfortunately, but we CAN say that Kesler's primary parter on the penalty kill over the last five seasons has been Burrows.
While we can't break down quality of competition or other types of usage metrics over at Hockey Analysis, the player pages are excellent for showing time on ice, goals, points, and shots on goal with and without a particular player. When you look and see how Kesler does with Chris Higgins, David Booth and Jannik Hansen, it re-affirms not only what Blake wrote yesterday, but Thom's contention that the Canucks' haven't exactly benefit from a Burrows-Kesler partnership:
|With Higgins
|With Hansen
|With Booth
|Without Burrows
|Without Booth
|Without Hansen
|With Burrows
|Without Higgins
(That is since the start of the 2010-2011 season)
I sorted the table by shots on goal per 60 minutes of 5v5 since there's reason to believe that in the small sample of ice-time we're using there's a very large chance that percentages and luck affect goals and points numbers.
The clear indication is that Kesler and Higgins have something together. Perhaps if they were joined by a third, puck-driving player who play centre and let Kesler play the perimeter on the wing, they'd have even more success. I digress, however. Kesler has scored on 5.8% of his shots when playing with David Booth and 8.1% when playing with Alex Burrows. That makes a very big difference in the small sample, but if we're assuming things even out in the long-run (Booth is a much better player than Vancouverites give him credit for) that's a difference about two goals over 700 minutes. Not huge, but noteworthy.
I won't look at Corsi stats with and without particular players since usage roles change a lot once players dip to the first or third line. What is worth noting is Kesler is 60.3% with Booth and 58.1% with Higgins, and if the Canucks are not going to pick up a certain Belaroussian free agent, re-unification of the American Express line could pay dividends if each player managed to stay healthy for once.
Burrows simply does not fit with Kesler on offence.
Yes, there is a defensive component to hockey. It is unfortunately very tough to measure defence. I mentioned above that basically the only time Kesler and Burrows played with each other was on the penalty kill. That suits our purposes, and we can see exactly how Kesler and Burrows fared in restricting shots on the penalty kill.
Why shots? Because Fear the Fin showed yesterday that it is impossible to predict goals on the powerplay, but you can still predict the amount of unblocked shots, or Fenwick Events, fired at the net. We'll check that out in reverse and see how Canucks have done on the PK since the start of the Mike Gillis era:
|Goals Against/60
|Fen Against/60
|Chris Higgins
|Alex Burrows
|Jannik Hansen
|Tanner Glass
|Max Lapierre
I set the parameters at 1.00 minute of shorthanded time on ice per game between 2008-2009 and 2013. Small sample size did wonders for Chris Higgins and Jannik hansen this past season.
For our purposes though, we have 30 names on the list, and Ryan Kesler is not well-represented in the Top 5, coming in at 12th, 22nd, 23rd and 29th in the four seasons he's represented. Burrows is 2nd, 10th, 14th, 18th and 20th. Again, it's tough to measure quality of competition in these situations and can presumably assume that Kesler played in tougher situations than Burrows when they were separate, but Kesler never seems to have been the team's primary option on the PK.
In 2013, he was hurt. In 2011 and 2012, he played fewer PK minutes than Manny Malhotra. In 2010, he played more PK minutes than any Canuck, but not when Ryan Johnson was playing in games.
It's difficult to put together, but I think there's some indication that Kesler and Burrows haven't exactly been a reliable shutdown unit when together on the penalty kill, nor are they all-world scorers when playing together at 5-on-5. It may be interesting to see just how Tortorella uses all of his shiny new toys in October, but I think he'd be wise to keep Burrows and Kesler separate.
Am I literally the only person who remembers that Burrows and Kesler broke out together while both playing in a 3rd line checking capacity?
In the first chart are you using total TOI or EV Strength TOI only? Because if Burrows and Kesler's TOI together includes their time on the PK, which you stated is their primary deployment together, then of course we expect them to post low goals/points/shots/60 together...
Wait, there it is below the table "sorted by 5v5"...
/Shakes head, walks away muttering "though shalt not doubt Charron. Though shalt not doubt Charron"
I still like the the idea of a Higgins/Kesler/Burrows line handling tough minutes so Sedins/Kassian and a line of Booth/Schroeder/Hansen can get some easier competition. Giving Schroeder the "Hodgson" treatment this season would be a wise move, since it's pretty clear he doesn't fit with the team going forward.
"Giving Schroeder the "Hodgson" treatment this season would be a wise move, since it's pretty clear he doesn't fit with the team going forward."
I'm pretty sure teams new what CoHo was irrespective of his zone starts.
The weak return of Kassian suggests as much.
Fact about AV and Burrows is that Burr seemed to be his utility guy. 1st line scorer, Penalty killer that played the point on the power play...sometimes and 3rd line defensive stopper. One thing about Burrows is that if he is given a role he will play it. With their speed and offensive skill Kesler and Burrows would do well together. Under AV's constant line juggling mid game, they were just thrown together and told d"do something to jump start us". Torts is a structured guy that will define roles and let the players do their jobs. AV.was wishy washy that way and the teams performance showed in bad penalties and sloppy turn overs. This team needs structure, so put each player in a role and let him perform.
I don't think Schroeder is an NHLer.
Can you elaborate on that a bit Cam, mayhaps in an article?
Schroeder appears to me to be young, skilled and moving play the right way.
Am I literally the only person who remembers that Burrows and Kesler broke out together while both playing in a 3rd line checking capacity?
I remember also, but that was many many moons ago mon frere. Now the question is where do each of them fit in our team concept. Is Burrows a scoring first liner or two way second liner? Is Kesler better at center second line winger or 1st line winger? Finding the role that will make a player successful is a coaches job and the reason AV stayed too long. It seemed like he was always trying to fit square pegs in round holes. Kes and Burr have excelled beyond their 3 rd line days, but haven't found their niche.... Hopefully this year.
I feel you, but I'm just saying, if I don't ride a bicycle for a couple years, I still know how to do it. I'm just saying it hasn't been done very much since then, and I'm not willing to rule it out now either.
I'm not saying they should definitely be together though. I'm not that crazy.

Agreed, nothing can be ruled out. Lass may be a bust w the Twins and Burr is the answer. The biggest point about this offseason is that for a team that has a core that has played together a while, there are no real defined roles outside of the twins. AV ran a lose ship and juggled lines often and not always because of injuries. This is why I am optimistic about the coming year. Last year was a mess with the lockout FA and injuries, Torts will define roles and hold guys accountable, not just demote with out a reason. Take all the talent and put them in a role in which they will succeed. Still can't believe Hason was on the top line.... Who does that!
im not justifying any one point here- but last season when vancouver played edmonton- a game where they combined for 3-4 pts and ebbett managed to net two goals, kesler and burrows looked fantastic together. taking into account the opposition of course. but still, they looked smart and savvy of eachother, and that was the highlight of that game. that's what i remember, and hope to see
@Cam Charron
Exactly why I think he should be moved for as much as possible.
Can you elaborate on that a bit Cam, mayhaps in an article?
Schroeder appears to me to be young, skilled and moving play the right way.
I believe what he means by the Hodgson treatment is what Gillis said after trading Cody that he and AV inflated his numbers by giving him mostly offensive zone face offs and match up that woulld be beneficial. Giving a 3rd line center O zone face offs only put a lot of pressure on your top two lines that score more goals. We need a two way guy that can win big face offs in both zones and is tough to play against.
Good article. I have no disputes with it, but when I think of Kesler and Burrows together this is the first thing that comes to mind:
Any line can have chemistry so long as the coach doesn't jugging the lines like a circus clown...like AV did.
@sarcasm mode
" juggle "
Personally, I would like to see the lines as 2A and 2B. Assuming the first line is Sedin, Sedin, Kassian (which I like). I would set up the next two lines as follows: Higgins, Kesler and Burrows. Kesler the gun, Higgins the setup and Burrows the digger. They have speed and some toughness and grit and would be responsible defensively. Booth, Santorelli and Hansen. Booth is a power forward who goes to the net and he had a very successful year when paired with Santorelli in Florida. Santorelli is a decent 2 way guy with speed and Hansen is the perfect speed guy with some grit who can contribute. If you then have a 4th line of size with Richardson, Lain and Weise or Sestito, you can do some banging. This gives the kids another year to progress. I also think that Kassian will do fine as long as he remembers his job - go to the net and keep your stick down and hit anything that goes near a Sedin in the corner. I would like to see a face rub tried if you then had to face Kassian's ugly mug (sorry guy, but he ain't pretty looking on the ice.)

Doco about 'forgotten' New Zealand World War I general full of facts but lacking in telling detail.
Every year at this time comes the familiar barrage. The annual dusting off of the grainy footage and marching music for the Anzac Day docos.
New shows on old wars have been high ground long held by Maori Television with its broadcast of the big day in full, TVNZ and TV3 having long surrendered to anything but token coverage. So Prime's The Forgotten General on Sunday was a kind of pre-emptive strike.
Being broadcast pre-Anzac Day also meant this New Zealand On Air-funded doco came interrupted by ads and also that its credits at the end were squeezed into illegibility as the channel promo-ed yet another war doco.
Which was a pity because despite being about just one man - World War I New Zealand Division commander Major-General Sir Andrew Hamilton Russell - this programme had a substantial cast.
That included those playing Russell and his top brass comrades in the dialogue-free impressively-moustached recreations of Gallipoli or the Western Front, and its gathering of military historians as well as Jock Vennell, whose biography of Russell this doco got its name and inspiration from.
The hour-long programme attempted to explain why, among those in charge of the disasters of Gallipoli or Passchendaele, Russell emerged with his reputation intact, and how this Hawkes Bay-born farmer became a soldier's soldier whose name should have gone down in history like Freyberg or Park.
Russell's story, said Christopher Pugsley, encapsulated New Zealand's experience of World War I. And in telling of Russell's war, this certainly offered an illuminating refresher on this country's role in the Great War.
Fellow military historian Andrew MacDonald offered the view that many families today should thank Russell for getting their grandfathers and great-grandfathers back in one piece. That said, Russell was still keen on shooting men for desertion and punishing the conscientious objectors sent to him on the front.
"If it meant breaking eggs and shooting soldiers for desertion, so be it," said Pugsley of Hamilton's disciplinarian style, which apparently engendered the trust - "trust but not love" - of the thousands of men under his command.
But in its efforts to have so much expert opinion, so many scenes of Russell (played by Colin Moy) deep in thought somewhere in a trench, The Forgotten General also felt like a doco you could trust but not love.
A frequently clunky narration didn't help. "More death was just around the corner," it warned as it set the scene for the third Battle of the Somme, a place where anything with a corner on it had long since been obliterated. Neither did fidgety editing of some otherwise crafty battleground recreations, or a music score hellbent on declaring Russell's heroism from its opening bars.
The overall effect was of a biography that told us a lot, one fact after another. But it was one that had just a few telling moments - there was one about Russell the man, not Russell the leader of men, that resonated: When his son died in World War II, the now retired general continued to write letters to him until his own death in 1960. It's a pity we didn't hear more about what they said.
The Forgotten General still emerged as a solid, well-researched prosaic study of a man of war. But as television, it was more an exhaustively detailed memorial than truly memorable.

By PHIL FAUVERStaff writer
Emery County Care and Rehabilitation, Board of Directors meet monthly at the facility. Dixie Fish of Ferron was introduced by Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth as a new member of the board.
Dan Wells, board chairman, presented a recognition award to Gil Conover for the his past contributions as chairman on the board. Following the introductions and awards Bryan Erickson the CEO of Traditions Health Care gave a report on the finances and marketing of Emery County Care and Rehabilitation. He also discussed the competition in Emery and Carbon counties. He said, cash flow was better this month over the previous month and we expect 2011 will be better than 2010 because we have added a few additional patients. The good care we give our patients is the thing that encourages people to use our facility.
Erickson reported the total income for the year to date, "We have had 1,009 patient days and have averaged 32.5 patients per day. We need 37.6 patients per day to be profitable. Our total income was $185,609 and is $23,000 less than we budgeted for. We had five patients fewer per month than needed, due to the extensive renovation during all of 2010. We need more Medicare and private patients in our facility. Medicare pays better than Medicaid. Statewide Medicaid does not fund the cost of providing care for patients. Every Medicaid nursing home providing care for Medicaid patients has to provide a report annually of their costs to the state. For every Medicaid resident we have in our facility, we lose $27 per day. The number of Medicare residents helps offset some of that loss. The doctors write the orders that send a patient to a care facility. However the patient or the family can choose the nursing home they feel most comfortable with.
"CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) or the federal government has changed the way they are going to monitor us. The way they are going to evaluate nursing homes is so different now compared to the way it used to be and it is all computer based. We too use computers for gathering information. Our new computer electronic charting, our new call light system and our computer data collecting will be to our advantage when we have our new CMS survey. We are collecting data better and more accurately than ever before. We are able now to provide data about each patient and the overall care in this facility with a very high degree of accuracy. We are better able to determine the costs and benefits of each department.
There are some organizations that will not accept Medicaid or HMO patients, because the state has a reputation of doing all it can to deny the claims. We accept Medicaid and HMO patients in our facility and work hard to collect the money," said Erickson.
Alec Stephenson the Administrator reported, "How grateful we are for the support we get from the local community. The schools come here, the Senior Centers come here often and we have activities everyday. We have two formal activities every day. One activity is initiated by our staff and one activity is brought in by someone from the outside community. It is just a matter of scheduling. In the recreation area there is a big calendar posted on the wall and we almost always have activities in addition to what is posted. Because not all residents can come to the recreation area, we have some groups that will go visiting from room to room," said Stephenson.
Administrator Stephenson reported that consideration is being given to obtaining Ham Radios for an additional form of communication in the case of a disaster. This will require FCC training on the part of some of the staff. The new computer system does track all aspects of the patients and is working wonderfully.
"We have added a new call system and we have improved so many things that these changes will put us ahead of other nursing facilities. We have a computer tracking system from the time a patient presses a call button to the amount of time it takes for a CNA aide to respond to that room or patient. We have been without a Social Services person or resident advocate for three months and that will soon be corrected.
"Every six months Pinnacle our survey satisfaction company, calls random individuals, mostly family members and sometimes the residents and they compile data on the satisfaction of service. A year ago we had four Best in Class Awards, last August we had six, and this time we have seven awards. Those are for overall quality of stay, nursing care, facility cleanliness, laundry service, quality of food, dining service, and over all safety. This is not a state survey this is a national survey. We received seven of the 15 parameters they use in these satisfaction surveys. A certificate is being given to each of our departments. We look forward to Dr. Charles Canfield from American Fork being with us temporarily. He has been appointed to ECCR as our Medical Director. We have a one month contract with him and we have feelers out to at least three other doctors to take on this assignment.
"The looks of the New ECCR exterior and interior renovation, the parking lot, the room colors, the new decorations and the additional rooms available are a definite positive that encourages people, who in the future may be, needing care, to visit Emery County Care and Rehabilitation. Those who have visited the new ECCR go away very impressed by the brightness, cleanliness, and the friendly staff," said Stephenson.

After three and a half weeks without a game, the Lady Pirates were anxious to get back on the hardwood floor. They traveled to Price where they took on their first region competitor in the Pinnacle Panthers. The Pirates didn't look rusty at all as they came out of the gate running and gunning.
At the end of the first quarter the green was up 24-11. The Pirates never looked back from there as they won their first region game easily, by a score of 71-38. The game was cut short by a little more than two minutes due to a Panther player injury. All eight varsity players saw action in the victory and the big three all finished with double doubles.
Michaela Hughes led the scoring charge with 24 points on 11-14 shooting and also pulled down 15 boards and had four blocks. Jamie Johnson scored 20 and also got 15 boards. Megan Hatt in her first game back from an ankle sprain, scored 16, had 10 assists and nine rebounds. Feleisha Antillion came up with four points, five rebounds and four assists. Taylor Johnson scored four and Kira Engleman had three points in the victory. Scoring for Pinnacle was Jordan Hamner with 16 points, Naomi Dalton with 13 points, Ashia Andrews with four points, Cali Moon with three points and Celeste Smith and Rylie Birch with one each.
This was a good test for the Pirates as they had to take on the Monticello Buckaroos the following night at home. Coach Parsons knew that two of the tougher competitors in region would be Monticello and Monument Valley. These two teams had tangled the night before and Monticello came out on top with a more than 20 point decisive victory.
This was somewhat unexpected and Coach knew the girls had to be prepared and play well and hard to compete. The Pirates came out strong and with quick ball movement up the floor and precision passing to the post by Hatt and Antillion, Hughes and Johnson put up quick points to jump to a 6-0 lead.
After a quick time out, the Buckaroos came charging back and tied up the game. It was a seesaw battle through the second quarter up until about two minutes left in the half. The Pirates then found their stride and by pushing the ball up the court quickly by the guards and savvy running of the lanes by the post players, the green scored several quick buckets and enjoyed a 12 point lead at half.
In the second half the Pirates slowly built on that lead and won by a tally of 48-31. This was a great victory and gives the Pirates a fast start in region play. Jamie Johnson led all scorers with 15 and also garnered three assists. Michaela Hughes ended in double figures again with 11 points, eight boards and three blocks. Megan Hatt got a double, double, scoring 10, getting 10 rebounds and putting up seven assists.
Every varsity player was in the scoring column on the night. Feleisha Antillion scored five and pulled down four boards. Taylor Johnson, Kira Engleman and Hanna Manalili each had two points, while Sydney Thayn scored one. This is an outstanding start for the Lady Pirates, with a record of 11-3.
The ladies will next face the Monument Valley Cougars in Green River on Jan. 20 and on Jan. 21) they will be at home again against the Navajo Mountain Jaguars.

Time to Get Tough on Alien Species
By Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director, UN Environment Programme (UNEP)
22 May 2009 - International Biological Diversity Day 2009 spotlights perhaps one of the least know threats to biodiversity and economies-alien invasive species.
Some governments such as New Zealand are facing up to the challenge with tough customs controls on foreign plants and animals.
Others such as South Africa have well-funded eradication programmes. But far too many countries have failed to grasp the threat or are far too casual in their response.
This is a mistake of profound environmental and economic proportions. By some estimates alien invasive species may be costing the global economy $1.4 trillion or more while representing a further challenge to the poverty-related UN Millennium Development Goals.
So where are they coming from? In HG Wells' celebrated sci-fi saga, "The War of the Worlds" aliens invaded in space ships to wreak havoc and mayhem.
In the real world they are spread from one Continent to another via the global agricultural, horticultural and pet trades or by hitchhiking lifts in ballast water and on ship's hulls.
Free from natural predators and checks and balances, alien invasive spaces can explode in numbers in their new homes ousting native species, clogging waterways and power station intakes, bringing novel infections including viruses and bacteria, poisoning soils and damaging farmland.
Take water hyacinth. A native of the Amazon basin, it was brought to Continents like Africa to decorate ornamental ponds with its attractive violet flowers.
But there is nothing attractive about its impacts on Lake Victoria where it is thought to have arrived in around 1990 down the Kigera River from Rwanda and Burundi.
Hyacinth can explode into a floating blanket, affecting shipping, reducing fish catches, hampering electricity generation and human health.
Annual costs to the Ugandan economy alone may be $112 million. The plant has now invaded more than 50 countries world-wide.
In sub-Saharan Africa, the invasive witchweed is responsible for annual maize losses amounting to US$7 billion: overall losses to aliens may amount to over $12 billion in respect to Africa's eight principle crops.
The challenge is both a developed and developing economy one and the more scientists look at the issue the more concerned they become.
In the United States researchers believe they now know why a weed from Europe - garlic mustard - is damaging native hardwoods. The alien produces a poison which kills native fungi which the trees need to grow.
The scale is perhaps only now unfolding. One of the most comprehensive Continent-wide assessments to date has just been completed.
The Delivering Alien Species Inventories for Europe or DAISIE says there are now 11,000 invaders in Europe of which 15 per cent cause economic damage and threaten native flora and fauna.
Globalization and international trade will, when the economy recovers, increase the chances of new aliens to travel from one part of the world to another.
Meanwhile climate change is likely to favour some alien species currently constrained by local temperatures.
Scientists have termed them 'sleepers'-foreign agents who become embedded in a community to be activated some years later. Introduced rainbow trout into the UK is a case in point.
In War of the Worlds the Martians are defeated by an Earthly infection - perhaps a bout of flu - to which they have no resistance. Real world aliens are often made of sterner stuff.
Improved international cooperation through the UNEP-linked Convention on Biological Diversity is needed and stepped up support for the Global Invasive Species Programme.
Important too to boost the capacity of the responsible national customs and quarantine agencies, especially in developing countries and to accelerate via the UN's International Maritime Organization.
Preventing alien species entering a new country is going to be demonstrably cheaper than the cure of trying to eradicate a well-entrenched species.
Alien invasive species have for too long been given a free ride - raising awareness among policy-makers and the public and accelerating a comprehensive response is long overdue.
The DAISIE network of scientists is clear. Inaction "is becoming increasingly disastrous for Europe's biodiversity, health and economy". They could be speaking for the whole world.

General notes on a general Sunday
Cam Charron

Couple of points of interest...
Per David Alter, the Toronto Maple Leafs have sent Spencer Abbott and Jamie Devane back down to the Marlies so that the two can play in today's game against Lake Erie.
The move is notable because it settles a question I've had about the collective agreement. With Nik Kulemin going onto the injured reserve, Carter Ashton became the only Maple Leafs healthy scratch, putting the Leafs at 21 active players, plus the suspended David Clarkson.
Article 16.4 (b) of the CBA:
(b) Clubs are not permitted to Loan Players where the result of such Loan(s) would reduce the Club's Active Roster below eighteen (18) skaters and two (2) goaltenders. However, Clubs will not be required to Recall Players to maintain the minimum eighteen (18) skaters and two (2) goaltenders on days which they do not play an NHL Game, provided that the deficiency below those thresholds is a result of an injury that has caused the removal of such disabled Player from the Active Roster.
The article doesn't specify whether the "Active Roster" includes suspended players, which makes a big difference for the Leafs. The demotions for Abbott and Devane bring the Leafs from 19 skaters to 17, but if you count Clarkson, it's 20 to 18.
So, now we know that rule. For purposes of anything CBA-related, a suspended player counts as one on the Active Roster. It's funny how neither the rulebook nor the CBA makes the distinction of what actually happens to a suspended player. It's like everybody just agrees he won't be allowed to play.
Medical Emergency for Nonis
Some people in the pressbox noted a medical emergency last night:
Lockdown at ACC due to a fan injury. We're shut off from media room so setting up laptops at the bar. Improvise.— Wayne Scanlan (@HockeyScanner) October 6, 2013
Turns out it was Leafs general manager David Nonis who had to be taken to St. Michael's Hospital due to general unwellness. We have "fluish and unwell" from Sportsnet and "flu-like symptoms" from the Globe. There's nothing up on the Leafs website just yet, so they probably just sent a general note to reporters to clear the air.
Doesn't sound serious, but we wish Nonis all the best and a quick recovery. Sounds like he'll be discharged today if everything goes well.
Not a huge fan of the moves made by Nonis since his elevation to Burke's position in January, but from all accounts he's a gentleman. Here's hoping he's fine.
With all the Rhodes scholars (real and perceived) in Leafs management, if they screwed up the player shuttle between Toronto and Toronto, you'd think there'd be hell to pay.
Look what happened in Calgary: Jay feaster just about cost the Flames players and draft picks for nothing because he didn't perform due diligence.Now? Burke is right next door waiting to take over.
