If Mikael Backlund is available, the Leafs should pursue him
Cam Charron
July 05 2012 08:12AM
Reminder, Jonas Gustavsson will make $3M over the next two seasons in Detroit.
Some interesting possibilities. Sometimes teams get handicapped with a lot of clutter toward the back of their roster, and some good players get forced out. Yesterday, the Calgary Flames signed Akim Aliu and Paul Byron, who are, by my count, the 45th and 46th out of a possible 50 contracts for the Flames. Aliu's deal also makes him the 13th forward with an NHL contract for the Flames.
Remaining unsigned is former first-round pick Mikael Backlund, a centreman with 15 goals in his 138-game NHL career. He had 11 points in 41 games last year. I think he would be an exceptional candidate for the Toronto Maple Leafs' first line.
From Kent Wilson's FlamesNation.ca piece (linked above) discussing the two signings yesterday:
That leaves just a couple of notable RFA's hanging: Mikael Backlund and Leland Irving. Backlund is obviously the most interesting Flame still without a contract. His poor season last year in terms of health and counting numbers may be contributing to a hesistance on the team's part to commit more dollars and time to the player. He's a 23-year, skilled forward with an undetermined ceiling in line for a rebound, but he's also been rumored as trade bait. The longer this drags on, the less likely it seems he'll be sticking around the Flames organization.
Kent is less than optimistic that the Flames will end up with Backlund. And why would the Flames want him? After all, he's been less than effective offensively, with forwards drafted around his level in the 2007 draft, David Perron and Max Pacioretty, strong offensive contributors in the NHL.
Here's the thing though: the Leafs need a first line centreman in between Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul. Kessel and Lupul aren't exactly the most stellar defensive players. Backlund can do two things: play centre, and play defence. The rest doesn't matter too much:
|Corsi Rel
|Corsi Rel QoC
|11.7 (1st)
|1.249 (4th)
|44.6% (2nd)
|15.2 (2nd)
|-.168 (11th)
|54.3% (11th)
With tougher minutes in the 2012 campaign, Backlund's scoring dropped from .34 points per game to .27, but possession was still pretty good.
I see Backlund as a guy who can play extremely well in the defensive zone. He's not a good faceoff guy yet, having gone below 50% in each of the last two seasons, but that hasn't done too much to effect possession numbers. Kessel and Lupul are two guys who like to get it done off the rush. They aren't exactly possession players who need to start with the puck in their zone. Backlund is a guy who can play closer to the Leafs' net, get the puck forward to Kessel who carries it through the neutral zone.
Backlund makes players better. Lupul and Kessel are pretty poor possession players. Check out how Backlund's top two linemates over the last two seasons, Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay, fared with and without Backlund:
|Poss. Rate
|Iginla w Backlund
|Iginla w/o Backlund
|Tanguay w Backlund
|Tanguay w/o Backlund
CF/20 and CA/20 refer to 'Corsi Events For' and 'Corsi Events Against' per 20 minutes of play. A Corsi event is any goal, saved shot, blocked shot or missed shot at even strength. The possession rate is calculated simply: CF / CF + CA. Both Iginla and Tanguay were better defensively and offensively with Backlund in the lineup. Some of that is, I'm sure, due to the easier minutes in the 2011 campaign, but in 2012, Backlund made Lee Stempniak, already a good possession player without Backlund at 52%, a 56% player. Iginla went from 45% to 49% with Backlund in the middle.
Whatever the reason, players are better off next to Backlund. Question 2, is he available? Two tweets:
As stated before, Backlunds' agent has said that the #Flames have yet to begin contract talks. That was yesterday, will update later today.— Ryan Holmer (@RyanHolmerNHL) July 4, 2012
Followed by this from this morning:
Barry did tell me that they started talks yesterday, which leads me to think that a contract will be signed soon. #Flames #NHL— Ryan Holmer (@RyanHolmerNHL) July 5, 2012
Do the Flames understand how valuable Backlund is to the team? Maybe, maybe not. If the contract negotiations turn sour at any point, who knows how much patience the Flames will exhibit, given how much they already have committed to forwards. This is just one of those times where a piece or two should be used to swoop up a very good NHL player while he's young. If there is still no news in a week, it is potentially good news for those who like the prospect.
Backlund for Nazim Kadri.
REALLY hope the Flames don't mess this up.
July 05 2012, 09:19AM
Steinberg says he expects a Backlund contract to be completed today.
July 05 2012, 09:26AM
@Kent Wilson
First take back Stajan as a sign of good faith. Otherwise, I say we never trade with the Leafs ever again.
The idea of this trade made me throw-up in my mouth.
So Cam, IF the Leafs were interested in Backlund...what should the Flames ask/expect in return (In theory)?
July 05 2012, 09:53AM
Mikael is not going anywhere, especially Toronto.
In contract terms, Backlund is likely going to have to suck it up and sign a short term deal, for a lot less money than he thinks he deserves. At this point he does not have a lot of leverage, he is an RFA, and didn't produce much in the way of offense last year.
The Flames on the otherhand need to be carefull not to sour the relationship, Backlund might be slipping down the depth chart with the recent signings, but he still has potential, and is an interesting asset. The Flames should really sign a longer term deal, even if he 'overpaying' him based on last years production.
lmao two lost tribes wondering the nhl desert.
As a aside and a chance to take a bit of a poke at TO (luv U!) while we are talking about connections between the two teams.
As known, Calgary's first rounder this year is Mark Jankowski. His great Uncle is Red Kelly, who the only player to have never played with Montreal Canadians to who won the most Stanley cups at 8. Also he is one of the team members who won the 1967 TO Stanley cup.
hehe 1967...
Hmmmm....... Backlund would make a good centre for the Leafs.....good defensively to compensate for more offensive line mates.....makes his line mates better......
Let's see....the Flames need a good centre....have lots of offensive wingers who are suspect defensively......has the player who Backlund supposedly made better.....
If all this is true in what universe does it make sense that they trade him to the Leafs?
@Cam Charron
No, not for B prospects. There is always room to add players if they are better than what you have.
If Feaster trades Backlund to Toronto I think Kent might spend the summer hiding in a cave.
By the same token, if Backlund finds out he's been traded to Toronto he might want to demand a trade to a more functional team with a brighter future. Like the Islanders maybe.
July 05 2012, 01:06PM
From what I can gather, it seems management (and some fans) might be getting a little fed up with Backlund's scoring touch. Are they playing hardball with him or something? Just sign him already! Although he has good possession numbers and drives play, he hasn't scored a whole lot. As the writers here on FN have previously pointed out before, it seems more of bad luck type of thing ailing him. Eventually, as long as he continues to drive play (and do it against very tough competition), his luck should start to turn.
If they deal him now, they won't get fair value. And its not really fair to give up on a guy in his early 20s just because he's not lighting things up. Backlund is one of only a few guys in the org that is within that valuable age range (22-28) So they should re-sign him (he'll come cheap), and have him play next year.
July 05 2012, 01:37PM
Backlund is too young for Calgary's liking. He has to be at least 28 to fit into their plans
Yuppp!!! 1 yr 1 way $725,000 finally! Up next Irving

If you color with henna you know it doesn't last anywhere near as long as regular hair dye. This conditioner does help keep the color longer. I mix it in with my favorite conditioner.
Product Formulation Change
Posted by Reviewer2385733 on Oct 01, 2012
The ingredient panel for the product I received last week contains benzyl alcohol pretty high up on the list and other changes that are not apparent on this website (since 9/18/2012, the date of my order). I'm not planning to use this item anymore since this type of alcohol can be very drying to hair. Anyway, the previous formula coated my hair - giving it a kind of waxy feeling that was acceptable only because I was experimenting with it as a co-wash product that was inexpensive, somewhat natural with key extracts for healthy hair and scalp and felt that the resulting "weight" was okay for my hair style. I wasn't too worried about the DMDM hydantoin (softener/perservative) or phenoxyethanol (preservative) that was used as a preservative in the prior formula. Wish they could find a way to make it with all the extracts and without the benzyl alcohol.Oh well, - inexpensive, somewhat natural, has some key (ayurvedic) ingredients such as buruti oil, capuaca butter, alma and ylang ylang oil, and other extracts, but not for me anymore. Don't think it helped at all with color retention. iherb offered to refund my purchase cost, but the shipping cost to return the item was almost as much as the purchase price!

Celebrating Daymond Langkow
Kent Wilson
April 01 2011 08:44AM
About six months ago I was planning on penning a piece like this, except as a eulogy for Langkow's career, cut tragically short by an unfortunate injury. All the signs pointed to Daymond Langkow never playing hockey again - each attempt at a comeback was met with a significant regression, to the point he wasn't even skating mid-season.
It's therefore something of a minor miracle that he is playing tonight. I don't know how effective the 34-year old will be after sitting on the sidelines for more than a calender year, but I am certain the team has be worse for his absence.
In March of last year I penned a defense of Daymond Langkow. Spurred by lackluster scoring totals, the general Flames fanbase had begun to turn on Lanks thanks to the perception that his value was not living up tp his cap hit.
The truth is, though, Langkow has been the best two-way center on this team since he was acquired and in the wake of Sutter's failed experiment of matching Iginla and/or Jokinen against top lines, Langkow was handed the unheralded role of being the Flames go-to shut-down option last season. His counting numbers suffered for it, but he continued to get the job done nonetheless. Amongst regular centers on the team last year, Langkow started most often in the defensive zone (zone start = 47.7%), played some of the toughest competition, but still ended up with one of the best possession rates on the team (+7.65/60). His regular linemates ranged from Nigel Dawes to Ales Kotalik and they all ended up above water in terms of advanced numbers, no doubt thanks to Langkow's influence. Dubbed "Mr. Chemistry" by Matt Fenwick years ago, Langkow is that rare player who quietly makes his line mates better. In his absence, Rene Bourque has seemingly gone from a difference maker to an inconsistent floater for example. Remember when Langkow, Huselius and Iginla was one of the best first lines in the league?
Langkow is an easy guy to underestimate because there's nothing overly compelling about him. He isn't very big and he doesn't knock people down. His skates in a sort of squat, choppy manner. He doesn't have a blazing shot, nor does he make Tanguay-ian passes through sticks and skates. He's also fairly terrible in the face-off circle. Despite those issues, Langkow simply gets the job done. He's a guy who rarely makes an error, is almost always in the right position and is excellent at winning puck possession along the boards despite his lack of size. He also has some of the best hand-eye coordination on the team and is probably the best player at tipping pucks the club has had in years. Langkow isn't great at any one thing and he doesn't have the physical tools that make people notice him, but he's good-to-very good at just everything that matters.That's why he ended up with one of the best scoring chance ratios on the team last season. There's no doubt that Brent's unending "dance of the match-ups" this season has been due to the lack of a proven, tough-minutes pivot like Langkow on the roster.
It's an open question whether Daymond can come back and be the same guy he was given his age and the extent of his injury. He'll turn 35-years old next September, which is about the time guys really start to fall of a cliff. Those issues can be assessed and dealt with when they crop up, however. For now we can welcome back Langkow with open arms.
Congratulations on the recovery, Daymond. We've missed you.
Welcome back Langkow!
He really has been one of my favorite flames over the last 5 years or so and was very sad to see him get hurt. Its great to see him back. Hopefully he can be an effective player instead of a shell of the man he used to be. I'm hoping this carries over to the next year and he will be just as good as he once was (eventually of course). If nothing more this will be a victory lap of his determination and pain threshold.
Best of luck!
April 01 2011, 09:43AM
I think Langks is the kind of player whose skills diminish more slowly than others because he doesn't rely on speed and power, but experience and intelligence.
I'd bet that he has another 5 good years, assuming the injury hasn't done more damage than expected.
April 01 2011, 09:56AM
Thanks for posting this, Kent. I'll only add that I hope his mid to late 30's are as fruitful as Craig Conroy's turned out to be. I'm not expecting much over the next week from DL, but I am very happy to see him back in any state, because that looked a most unlikely prospect for much of the winter.
April 01 2011, 10:16AM
well, it's nice to see a familiar face again.
still only a 4% chance of making it though :S
April 01 2011, 10:28AM
smart move by the org to get langks back in there after the fans were let down last game against anaheim. nice little morale booster and a nudge towards being excited about next season's possibilities....
i said it before and i'll say it again: if the flames don't make the playoffs this year (which looks to be the case), fleury's #14 will get lifted to the rafters next season perhaps as early as opening night. watch for an announcement anytime, would be my guess.
i'm just really honestly happy for daymond langkow the MAN ---that he's healthy and suffering no lasting damage from such an unfortunate incident. we'll see how things go for daymond langkow the hockey player....
Great news indeed!
I remember the days of Phaneuf, when he would be out of position and fire it high and wide. Puck would come out of the opponent's zone, and who would be the one to chase down the inevitable 3 on 0? Daymond Langkow.
I always cursed his name for being old and slow, but really, he was the only one doing something right on the ice at that point.
woops, sorry for the double post!
So glad 22 is back.
If a fully recovered Langkow is in the lineup when Morrison et al go down, Flames make the playoffs. Simple as that.
I don't play 6/49, so I'm not betting on the Flames making the dance.
So glad to see Lanks back in the lineup. It's probably too late for him to help them make the playoffs, but it's great nonetheless because I thought he was done. Calling for a hatty from Lanks tonight! :D
April 01 2011, 11:36AM
What WI said...
April 01 2011, 11:40AM
Are we sure this isn't an April Fools joke?
Kind of a sick one if it is.
I've always liked Langkow and hoped he'd be able to play again.
Yeah, while I am happy for Langkow and echo all the positive things that Kent had to say about his value to the club, my initial reaction to this (based at least partially on all the recent press on the influence of the purported non-hockey management on the hockey operations department) was "I guess Ken King wanted to give the fans a reason to watch these last four games.
This may be unduly cynical - but I bet there is some truth to it as well. It can't be solely a hockey only move.

With him signed for next year, I think that they wanted him to get his feet wet before the end of the season. I'd be awfully hard on a guys confidence to spend the summer wondering how it's going to feel in a game.

GDB minus-6: Putting up the Wall
Jason Gregor
September 18 2009 11:34AM
Does anyone know what Bulk Barn is? If you're wondering why I'm asking such a random question so early in the morning it's because, the Oilers were supposed to be on the ice at nine, and as of this writing, I'm sitting here watching Khabibulin and goaltending coach Freddy Chabot do through the paces. Bulk Barn is one of the logos on the ice, and I have no idea what they are.
As you know I'm not a fan of goalies — more so goaltender commentators, but it was interesting watching Chabot warm-up Khabibulin. They were out for at least 20 minutes before everyone else. Chabot had 50 pucks in the slot and he would rotate firing them at Khabibulin's left and right side. Every shot the Bulin Wall would put into the corner. He put eleven straight from the left side in the exact same spot; directly to the corner under the NHL.com logo on the boards. Pretty impressive puck control from Khabibulin.
The lineup tonight looks very similar to Tuesday's game in Calgary.
Jacques — Horcoff — Schremp O'Sullivan — Comrie — Stone Lazo — Brule — Linglet Brennan — O'Marra — Stortini Gilbert — Chorney Staios — Arsene Strudwick — Plante Khabibulin and Dubnyk
We'll see Brule and Khabibulin for the first time tonight, along with O'Marra, Linglet and Lazo.
Brule was scheduled to play in Calgary but sat out due to the flu, and he says he feels fine now.
Things to watch tonight
- JF Jacques needs to be much better than he was on Tuesday. He wasn't physical and on four separate occasions he didn't help Horcoff on draws. Quinn pointed it out on Wednesday, and I'll be curious to see if Jacques "gets it" tonight. Jacques better show he knows he has to play a 4th line role regardless of who he plays with.
- Brule has a job to win if he wants it. He is much more physical than Pouliot, is just as good in the draws, and plays way more aggressively. I spoke to him yesterday and he is eagerly waiting for tonight. He wants a regular spot in the lineup.
- Can Schremp make some plays five-on-five? We know he is good on the PP, but he won't make this team if he can't contribute even strength. He has been much better moving his feet so far this year. It seems he has broken the habit of getting across the blueline and then coasting into the zone. He needs to keep moving his feet.
- I know many of you were impressed by Stone on Tuesday, and you should have been. But he was playing against predominantly AHL players. He won't stick here, but he can make a good impression and be one of the first guys called up when the injury bug hits.
- Will O'Sullivan and Comrie have the same chemistry or was it only one game? At some point this pre-season, either Comrie or Cogliano will have to play a game on the wing. There isn't enough room for both of them in the middle. Neither should centre the 4th line, so I'm curious to see which guy will be the first to play the wing.
- How long will it take for Brennan to drop his gloves? He didn't find a dance partner on Tuesday and you know he wants to make a statement with his fists tonight. Brennan firmly believes he can take MacIntryre's spot on this team. I don't see how, since he only has an AHL contract, but he is confident he can.
- Will they play Cotton-Eyed Joe again tonight? I can't believe they still play that song, since I don't know any fan or player who gets fired up by that song. It is AWFUL. They played it on Wednesday, and the Islanders scored a minute after to tie the game in the 3rd period. The only way that song should ever be played again is if the actual "Joe" makes a one-night only return to Rexall.You remember him don't you? The song would come on, and he'd jump out of his seat and start to dance up and down the stairs, then halfway through the song he'd take his shirt off, and finish his dance. He looked like an idiot, but it was entertaining for a year or so. It ended when he thought he should get paid more than just getting to gold seats every game.
***An aside about "Joe". One night at the old Cocktail Club on the southside, I was drinking after an Oiler game. Brett Lindros was in there and a buddy of mine knew him through a friend. He was retired and now hosting the "Be A Player" show that aired on TSN. We are having few pops and Lindros is telling us some classic stories about his time with the Islanders, when "Joe" comes over and interrupts. "Joe" starts in on Brett about how he should do a variety of things differently on his show. He starts telling him how to ask question better.
To Lindros' credit he was calm throughout. He said thanks for the tips and turned around to talk to us. Well, "Joe" wouldn't let it go and gives him the "Don't you know who I am" line. I'm not lying. Lindros, of course, had no clue who he was, so we filled him in. Lindros starts to laugh and says, "You keep dancing man, maybe one day you'll be on Broadway.""Joe" starts on with "My career will last longer than yours did", and then he must have thought his song was playing because he took his shirt off in the bar and takes a step towards Brett.
Finally Lindros has had enough. He takes one hand and puts it on the face of "Joe" and literally picks him up by the face, and shoves him away and says get lost. The bouncers come over and grab "Joe", who is fuming now. He challenges Lindros to come outside, but the bouncer steps in and says he'll take care of it. "Joe" stood outside the bar for an hour and a half waving at Lindros through the window. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. The guy was off his rocker, and he really thought he was an Edmonton celebrity because of his song.
Coaches' roles
I asked Pat Quinn about what roles his coaches would have this season.
- Tom Renney will be in charge of the defence and practice.
- Wayne Fleming will run the powerplay and be one of the observers from up above.
- Kelly Buchberger is in charge of the PK and will be an in game observer on the bench and relay info to Quinn.
- Quinn will oversee all three of these facets and plans to work closely with all three.
Tune into Just A Game on the TEAM 1260 today, and I will play Quinn's response about all three of them. I will play it right off the top at 3:05 MST. Or you can listen online at Just A Game.
You asked for it
Many of you asked to have Brownlee's Irritants of the week posted, so I put them up at Just A Game. They will be there every Friday from now on.
September 18 2009, 11:41AM
I listened to Brownlee's Irritants last night, and was laughing my ass off. What a cranky old man!
But I already knew this. It was just refreshing to hear.
This is a great segment, Gregor. Glad you added it to the show.
Thanks Jason, great post.
Bucky has an important job, and I hope Horcoff is on the PK more and not on the PP. He is very valuable 5-on-5, and should not be on the PP with all the skilled players on this team.
So early in the morning? 11:34 the morning is over.
I'm going tonight and will finally get my first look at this club this year. I will be watching Stone vs. Jacques. I want to see what Brule can do on the draw. I want to see what Comrie can do on the draw and see how he is overall. The final thing I am watching is Schremp. I really want to see how his speed is compared to others, and I also want to see his defensive play.
Sidenote. Not sure if you do it on purpose, but I like how you bring things that are talked about on ON to your show.
I guess to I want to see Lazo and Brennan. See if they actually have any abilities outside of being nut jobs.
September 18 2009, 11:44AM
I have my fingers crossed for Brule. He really seems like a good kid and he has a ton of talent.
September 18 2009, 11:46AM
All hail Joe
W.T. always appreciates JG honest and real life comments. W.T. says JG you should of had your tobacco spit cup with ya since no one was around.
W.T. suggests JF needs to show up tonight in a big way. This appears to be the year he has to make it or move on.
W.T. watched the MacT interview with TSN and also listened to the interview MacT did with Dan and Bob. This is going to be interesting as MacT comes across with a bit of an attitude. W.T. hopes he keeps it up throughout the year and tells it the way he see's it. MacT sure shut up Dan real fast when he asked him about the Oilers this year. To his credit Dan did ask the difficult question whereas Bob would not. Kinda disappointed W.T. as everyone knows how Bob felt about MacT as a coach from his old radio show.
W.T. wishes Robbie S. would make the big club but W.T. thinks the gig is over. Best of luck with the NYI.
Do NHL teams have to submit their gameday rosters at a certain time in the preseason? I remember last year that there were quite a few games that I didn't know the roster until the puck was dropped.
I can't wait to see Brule tonight....
If the streaming live video is available in BC...
** grabs bible, rosary, chugs a pint of holy water, and prays "Oh gawd puh-leese" **
I miss Edmonton.... sigh.
Brownlee was cranky when he was back at the Journal ages ago. I remember him storming into the editors office on a regular basis.
It was always a tempest in a teapot but he had the look of a guy you didn't want to joke with. Kind of a psycho/crazy/just released from the asylum look.
In fact look closely at his profile pic on here 'cause it's his old Journal mug. I wonder what he looks like now?
Less hair? More crazy?
No mention of Craig MacTavish's first comments since being replaced as coach? No insight, comments or opinions? There's nothing you guys want to share with your readers regarding a coach we've had for almost a decade who finally broke his silence?
If the reason is because the interview was conducted by your competitor, CHED, than that seems very petty.

Bulk Barn is just like it sounds - a big barn-like store that sells everything in bulk. Mostly food I think. It's pretty cool actually; prices are very good compared to a grocery store. Chocolate covered raisins are my fav...
I'm looking forward to seeing the Bulin Wall in an Oilers jersey tonight...
Bulk Barn is a Canadian bulk food store franchise which carries a wide variety of bulk food items, ranging from candies, nuts, grains, dried fruit, and cake mixes to beans, flours, pet food, and drink mixes. It also carries piñatas, chocolate and spices.
Bulk Barns has a close relationship with Loblaws and shares some of the No Name branding of their products, but it is not part of the supermarket giant.
September 18 2009, 11:57AM
Some good things to hear about the West Edmonton Wall, as well as the defined roles for the coaching staff. It will be interesting to see how Schremp does tonight, but I get the impression that unless he notches a hatrick at even-strength, there's no room for him on opening night. I think Schremp is playing for a press-box spot at this point, which is still probably better than the alternatives. Curious, though; supposing he does end up on Long Island, do you think he gets a starting role on that team or is he the thirteenth forward there anyway?
September 18 2009, 11:58AM
Who knew Joe was such a douche in real life, hilarious.
My one question is why is Bucky running the PK when this was such a deficiency last year and Renney ran the best unit in the league???
September 18 2009, 12:00PM
I'm sad that I've been to Bulk Barn. Basically they have bins of bulk food - jellybeans, pasta, trail mix, etc. Classy joint for sure. I'm sure Penner loads up on jellybeans there in the offseason.

@ Porter: Willis said on his Hockey or Die blog that he was able to stream the Oilers games outside of province so you should be safe.

@ -30-: Look, "-30-" is cute -- it's used to denote the end of a story, so I'm guessing you have a newspaper background. But if you're going to say stuff like you've been around me, then let's have a name -- first and last. Put your name to your words, just like I do.

September 18 2009, 12:08PM
I do agree with Brownlee that yellow runners are irritating but even more annoying to me are the retards that waste the turning light for everyone. Usually due to daydreaming, texting, make up checking or just by crawling through slowly. It shouldn't be complicated.
On the hockey side of things; GO OILERS!! I doubt I'll watch it all but it should be a telling game for some of these players.

I have no trouble streaming the games in Manitoba. For the first preseason game I even made it through all three periods without buffering or getting disconnected.
September 18 2009, 12:11PM
not only does Schremp need to create plays 5-on-5 but the 7 million dollar man could do him a favor and HELP HIM start/finish a play. isolating Schremp from the rest of the linemates is typical "show us what you got" while the Vet-Pro on the line can be average as hell.
the vets are just as instrumental at helping these young guys as the young guys need to help themselves. looking at it any other way is stupid.
@ Death Metal Nightmare: Schremp is kinda pouched one of his linemates has 1 point in countless NHL games and his other linemate can't finish passes that are right on the tape. Perfect guys for a passer like Scremp to play with.

What, like dish some dirt after MacT takes the high road and keeps it classy? What pound of flesh are you looking for? Dig up mistakes he made and discuss them for the 313th time? Maybe share some off-the-record stuff for kicks?
MacT took the high road. That's class. There's your opinion.

@ B-rad: because hes the Warrior, he does it all the time
What does everyone think the reaction to Comrie will be? I hope he does not get BOOED, and I know if you buy a ticket, it's your right, by I hate to see any OILER get booed at home.

West Edmonton Wall,
That's a quality nickname right there I tell ya hhhhwhat
The way the lines have been setup the last few games leads me to believe that Eberle, Schremp, and stone are fighting for the 2nd line RW position and Brule and Pouliot are fighting for the 4th line center position.
Every other spot seems to be set.
I can see this happening
Penner Horc Hemmer Cogs Gagner Schremp/Ebs/Stone Sully Comrie Pies Moreau Brule/Pouliot Storts
Nillson Big Mac
@ Milli: To tell you the truth I haven't really heard any Oiler fan be pissed of about the past. It's more been we don't need him, so I don't think there will be any booing.

Hmm? I don't remember my post saying anything negative about Craig MacTavish. Defensive much? If anything, your last few sentences are exactly what I was looking for.

"Jacques — Horcoff — Schremp"
So, did Horcoff forget to flush the locker room toilet yesterday after practice?
September 18 2009, 12:44PM
@ lol: Stop talking out of both sides of your yap. That's exactly what you were looking for. You heard his comments. What "insights" or opinions need to be added when what MacT said and how he said it speaks for itself?

You can purchase a program to run a proxy and fool the site into thinking you're a prairie boy. That's how I get hulu in Winnipeg. I pay $65/year for mine, though - might be excessive for preseason games.
On that note, you'll be able to catch the game against Tampa on TSN if you get it.
@ Robin Brownlee: "Stop talking out of both sides of your yap."
I made a simple comment wondering why there was no mention of Craig MacTavish making his first comments since being replaced as coach and you go all Christian Bale on me. You then assume that I'm looking for you guys to "Dig up mistakes he made and discuss them for the 313th time? Maybe share some off-the-record stuff for kicks?"
Wow. Wrong. Actually, I was looking for something more along the lines of "MacT took the high road. That's class."
But speaking of class and you, I digress.
September 18 2009, 01:02PM
Pooolots time has pretty much run out here - lets hope they dont hold on to him as long as Schremp. Send both of them and all Schremps mentally blind followers down to the AHL asap. 30 bux will get us one of these U-Haul trailers to put them all in and lets all pray for the lack of ventilation.
I don't know who has been in charge of music at Rexall for the last.. forever. Fired. Fired! Please someone fire them. How do they have a job? The music selection can get exactly zero people who don't have dyed blonde hair that is still the same as it was in 1982 excited. It's horrible. Is there a worse venue for musical atmosphere than Edmonton? It's the worst. More Black Box! More Walking on Sunshine! My God! Play some metal... play anything that keeps the crowd wired. Stop trying NOT to offend the aging season ticket holders please. Ffrrrrrunkus!

I was going to do that and it is excessive for preseason games but i tried a few and the proxies routed through were slower than dial up and there wasnt enough bandwith to stream. I was able to watch the calgary game but was vut off midway through first against the isles. before i anted up i wanted to make sure it was fast enough. i think oilersnation.com should get a slingbox for us fans to hijack.

@ lol: I thought the YKOil post summed it up well: hxxp://ykoil.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-year-new-attitude.html
We had high expectations going into the year. For the most part of the year we were in a playoff position and we were in pretty good shape. At the end we really didn't fulfill those expectations and when that happens changes are made. I think the players lost their trust and faith in me and my ability to get the job done, and for a large part I think that was the same for me, that I lost faith in the players." Craig MacTavish (TSN interview)
That quote pretty much echoes everything that I, and a few others, were saying last year. And it hurt because I (and 'we' in some cases) am a MacT fan. Guy is a great freakin' coach but he got thrown under the bus by this team's player procurement department too many times and finally lost it.
I can't dismiss the fact that MacT may have said all that so as to take a fall for the team. I can't. My third favorite Oiler ever, everything I have ever seen from the guy indicates that his first instinct is to take the hit to make a play.
So maybe he did.
But for now. Perhaps for me. I'll take him at his words.
If true it means that Quinn and Renney may be able to get a lot of mileage out of this roster and if so maybe they take 3rd in the division and if they can do that then maybe 7th or 8th is a possibility. 6th if another team completely falls off the map (it happens).
Look. I'm trying to be positive here okay?!?

So It Is To Be St. Louis
Jonathan Willis
April 13 2009 10:47AM
The Vancouver Canucks will play the St. Louis Blues in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Blues, like the Canucks, are a team without much in the way of playoff success. They do have a rich history, and how they ended up in St. Louis to begin with is an interesting story. When the NHL originally expanded to 12 teams, it placed the six newcomers in the Western Division. Five of the teams were quickly purchased and established in five promising markets (Oakland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and Bloomington). The sixth team was to be located in Baltimore, but the Wirtz family (who still own the Chicago Blackhawks) owned the rights to the St. Louis Arena, a decrepit building which had not been maintained properly (and was hit by a tornado in 1959), and they wanted to sell it. They insisted that the sixth team be placed in St. Louis, and eventually an ownership group stepped forward.
Scotty Bowman, who saw a crowded management ladder in Montreal, was hired as the team's first G.M. and shortly thereafter also became the team's coach. It was Bowman's first NHL coaching job, and the St. Louis Blues quickly became the best of the expansion teams, reaching the finals in each of their first three years of existence. The next year they lost in the first round, and owner Sid Salomon III, who had been battling with his chief hockey man, fired Bowman. Bowman went on to coach the dynasty team in Montreal, and the St. Louis Blues went into a death spiral. Both their on-ice performance and the off-ice financial situation deteriorated to the point where the ownership group was forced to sell off the team in 1977.
The team changed hands several times in the years that followed and had a few bizarre incidents along the way – they skipped the 1983 Entry Draft, and at one point almost relocated to Saskatoon, among other items. They did, however, go on a run of 25 straight playoff appearances, although they only twice made the Conference Finals and never advanced past that point. Their lengthy post-season run ended in 2003-04.
The Blues have been in a rebuilding stage since the lockout, and are returning to the playoffs for the first time since their run of 25 seasons was ended. The current team has been getting outstanding goaltending from Nashville castoff Chris Mason, and a number of sheltered youngsters (David Perron, Patrick Berglund, T.J Oshie) have been putting up points and gaudy plus/minus numbers. The Blues leading scorer is the somewhat one-dimensional Brad Boyes (33 goals, 72 points, -20) and David Backes (31 goals, 54 points, -3) is probably their best forward – the same David Backes who Mike Gillis signed to an offer sheet this past summer. The Blues run a surprisingly effective checking line (waiver wire claim B.J Crombeen, Toronto castoff Alex Steen and career checker Jay McClement) at their opponent's best players.
On defense, Barret Jackman does the heavy lifting, with Roman Polak, Jay McKee and Mike Weaver taking the next best players. Jeff Woywitka and Carlo Colaiacovo have had some success as third-pairing defenders.
Two key players for the Blues, Eric Brewer and Paul Kariya, have been injured for the majority of the season.
The Blues have been white hot of late, largely fuelled by the offensive production of the sheltered youngsters and incredible special teams. Both their powerplay and penalty kill are better than the Canucks' – if they're going to challenge for the series it will be on special teams. Ultimately, though, the Canucks are likely too deep at even-strength to be overcome; I'll predict the Canucks win in six games.
Wow! A la Lowetide. Nice job Jonathan!
I see alot of similiarites between The Blues and The Oilers teams between 97-02. The blues dont have alot of talent but they work hard everynight. I think Vancouver will win this series, however, St.Louis is going to put them through the wringer. This will be a fun series to watch. Lots of hitting, lots of emotion and lots of intensity.

That's very high praise. I just finished a book on Scotty Bowman, so when St. Louis came up it just seemed natural to go into what I'd read.

@ Deans:
I see quite a few similarities between the Blues this year and the Oilers last year - particularly their group of kids. Their season took off after a bunch of key injuries, largely because the kids playing sheltered minutes started setting the world ablaze.
April 13 2009, 03:16PM
And if you folks are looking for a more detailed breakdown of the St. Louis Blues' defense, do check out this site which does an excellent job of it.
Your right the St.Louis prospects have really s tepped it up with all the injuries. They are one of the feel good stories of the NHL. Hopefully they can carry this momentum into the next season.
Another great read JW. You have been on a tear as of late, keep up the good work.

Lincoln Electric hosts wind tower welding seminars
Lincoln Electric recently hosted more than 120 industry professionals interested in learning more about wind tower fabrication for several daylong seminars.
Seminar attendees traveled from across the U.S. and as far away as Brazil and Portugal to the company's Cleveland headquarters. Each seminar featured an industry overview, technology sessions, and live welding demonstrations for companies already fabricating wind towers and those considering it.
According to Patrick Wahlen, Lincoln's global segment business director, power generation, the seminars provided guidance on capitalizing on the wind power market and gave an overview of the company's products. Attendees also had the opportunity to network with others who are in the business and share best practices.

Shocker to find out this was made in 1999. Looked waaaaaay older. I guess that's what "low production values" means. I wonder if, as an American, it's fundamentally a little harder to appreciate stories about people moving here from other countries, facing western temptations, losing themselves in cash and booze and loose morals, then realizing their mistakes when they hit the bottom, finding a nice girl from the old country, and going back. Part of me thinks that if the only reason you want to move to a country is to make a quick buck, you're gonna end up associating with the wrong people and aren't seeing the real value of that place. Let me clarify that there's a difference between taking opportunities where they come because you want to do better for your family, etc., and milking innocent people or formulating grand plans and schemes, such as, in this case, marrying someone for a greencard. You sort of deserve what you get if you try to be shifty.
That said, I'm glad the boy ended up with the nice girl, because she really was nice - and smart and sassy too. Long-lost father disappearing out of nowhere was a pleasant surprise too.
The subtitles were awful on this DVD. They came up about halfway through someone speaking and carried over into another actor's reply, so it was a little hard to sort out who said what. And the songs weren't subtitled at all. They were also done by people who didn't seem to know English well and said things like "the Seaside Hides Hotel," which I assume was either Hideaway or Heights, and "I am your friend long time."

Saracens were forced to overturn a half-time deficit to claim a 22-13 Premiership victory over London Wasps at Adams Park on Saturday.
Saracens were forced to overturn a half-time deficit to claim a 22-13 Premiership victory over London Wasps at Adams Park on Saturday.
Saracens left it late as Chris Ashton's try and three penalties from Owen Farrell snatched victory in last quarter.
Wasps had been defeated narrowly by Northampton a week earlier, while Saracens had wind in their sails following a win over Harlequins.
The hosts made a tremendous start to the match and held a 13-point advantage with less than 15 minutes played.
Elliot Daly got the ball rolling for Wasps with a penalty goal and he added a second, after Christian Wade intercepted to race over for the game's first try.
13-0 down, Saracens sprung into life and by half-time they'd reduced the deficit to just five points.
Chris Wyles' try on 17 minutes, scored from a quickly-taken tap penalty, got Saracens off the mark and, though Farrell was wide with the conversion, his penalty just shy of the half-hour kept the visitors in contention.
Mouritz Botha saw yellow at the end of the first half for a deliberate knock-on, but Wasps were unable to make their numerical advantage count in the minutes following the restart.
Farrell's penalty just after the hour put Sarries to within two and the visitors had the lead on 66 minutes when Ashton latched on to Alex Goode's kick to crash over.
The conversion was missed, but a brace of penalties from Farrell in the final ten minutes took the game away from the hosts.
Sarries remained in control for much of the final quarter to confirm a frustrating afternoon for Wasps, who were unable to bounce back from the previous week's heartache against Northampton despite a promising start to the match.
The scorers:
For Wasps:
Try: Wade
Con: S. Jones
Pens: Daly 2
Yellow card: Taulafo
For Saracens:

Chapter 21
Ahab desires the vineyard of Naboth—Jezebel arranges for false witnesses, and Naboth is stoned for blasphemy—Elijah prophesies that Ahab and Jezebel and their house will be destroyed.
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it me, that I should give the
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 ¶But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a

11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15 ¶And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 ¶And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Lord.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy
22 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 And of Jezebel also spake the Lord, saying, The
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 ¶But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 And he did very

Spot NWS forecast for your location (keep in mind that these forecasts on the point and click page are the NWS forecast thoughts - my thoughts are below and/or on my weather Facebook page) -- Click here - then enter your zip code for the most up to date spot forecast from the National Weather Service.
Good Friday morning everyone! I have made a few changes to the blog. I am going to try place the weather tracking tools at the bottom three quarters of the page. The top quarter of the page will be my current thoughts and comments concerning what I am seeing on the models and the latest data.
We are about to go on a roller-coaster ride of weather. But what is new? Seems like that has been the case for quite awhile. A very active weather pattern is unfolding - multiple storm systems will move through our region over the coming weeks.
If this pattern repeats in April and early May then we will have quite a bit of severe weather. Something worth noting.
The first item of interest will be a few snow and rain showers today. Little in the way of accumulation is forecast. It will be turning colder - lows tonight will be in the 20s.
Highs on Saturday will struggle to reach 40 degrees. Saturday night will bring the coldest night of the week with lows in the upper teens and lower 20s.
Sunday will be dry - southerly winds will pick up ahead of our next system off to the west. An increase in clouds is also likely by Sunday night.
Monday will bring showers and thunderstorms back into the forecast. Right now I am not expecting any severe weather concerns. Rainfall will average in the 0.25"-0.60" range with that particular event.
Rain will come to an end by Monday night and Tuesday.
A much larger storm system will impact the central United States by Thursday/Friday of next week. This system will need to be closely monitored. If dew points can recover enough then a few severe thunderstorms can't be ruled out.
This event is likely to produce heavy snow to our north - anyone with travel plans on Wednesday night into Friday should check back for the most up to date information.
In the long range I will be watching for a system to come out of the Gulf of Mexico. Models have been hinting at this for quite some time. If it happens then we could be looking at a wide range of weather to its north and northwest. Long way off but worth a mention.

Exact date of photo is unknown, though it was likely summer 1927. Photo courtesy SouthDakotaMagazine.com. As we wind down summertime and get back to school and work, lets all pause a moment to be jealous of President Coolidge's three-week vacation to the Black Hills in 1927. He reportedly enjoyed the fresh air and mountain streams so much that he stayed for a total of three months, and his presence helped to kick start the carving of Mount Rushmore. By the end of summer 1927, work was beginning on the famous Rushmore carving. Coolidge's full address from the opening can be read in our speech archive, but he remarks that "The fundamental principles which [these four presidents] represented have been wrought into the very being of our Country. They are steadfast as these ancient hills." Stay tuned! Every Friday we'll highlight a whimsical item from presidential history.

Sometime before March 21, several ATV riders who were in the Coal Wash area of the San Rafael east of Ferron, did damage to the area by riding off the marked trails and traveling across a wilderness study area. A tip was received by the Emery County Sheriff's Office concerning the identity of the riders.
An officer began the investigation, which led to the citation of six Emery County residents. The subjects will stand trial before Judge Stan Truman and could face fines, jail time and restitution. In addition to the tip the Sheriff's Office received, there were a number of ATV club members who called and complained. They also contacted the BLM and county commission. The ATV club asked for extra patrols in the area. Sheriff Lamar Guymon said, "Be aware that there are people watching for illegal activities on the public lands."
There are five WSAs in the San Rafael area of Emery County. These areas are closed to motorized travel and are surrounded by land open to limited, conditional use for motorized vehicles.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers – all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.
Colossians 1:15–20 (New Revised Standard Version)
Life after Easter never settles down easily among people who find in its special celebration the kind of energy leading at the same time to exhilaration and a renewal of confidence in the possibilities of life.
It is usually acknowledged unashamedly as a kind of emotional surge, a high that cannot be sustained but which is best internalized as renewed optimism that particular people who hold to something good can make a difference.
The day of celebration has to be followed by seasons of work, an outright emulation of Jesus and his deeds involving other people, offering hope, giving encouragement, always caring for them, healing them and feeding them.
If we're prone to believing that our own time is bad and limiting, we should remember that Jesus faced off with both the Roman Empire and the religious authorities of his place.
The new life he claimed after, for all appearances, he had lost it all to his opponents, outlives all of them, most visibly in the lives of ordinary people who follow his way.
The Rev. Hardy Kim writes in a reflection for this season, "It's interesting that the Greek word translated "image"(in Colossians) is the same word used in Greek translations of Genesis that tell us 'God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.' Therefore, we might understand that the same Jesus who was resurrected is an 'image of the invisible God' in the same way that we are – an image in which 'all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell.'"
"I also believe that we are called to live like him – like images of an invisible God, in whom all the fullness of God might be pleased to dwell," Kim said.
Kim quotes from a poem written by a group in Scotland's Iona community:
If we met you, Jesus Christ,
we might not think you were on a mission.
Your talk would be of common and curious things:
salt, dough,
lost lambs, lost coins,
paying taxes, hosting a meal,
wise virgins, and foolish house-builders.
We would not know you were on a mission,
we would think you were making sense of life,
lighting up the ordinary, identifying the truth.
When next you look with compassion on the world
and need mission done in your way,
Lord, send us. Amen.
(from "Present on Earth" by Wild Goose Worship Group, Iona community)
We should all aspire to lighting up the ordinary times and ordinary spaces.

Tallahassee City Manager Anita Favors Thompson recently announced the appointment of Roxanne Marietta Manning as Executive Director of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Manning will begin her new assignment today.
In her new position, Manning will oversee three full time staff members. The CRA is responsible for fostering economic growth by facilitating redevelopment and other community improvements in the Downtown and Frenchtown/Southside Redevelopment areas.
Manning has extensive experience in local government management, planning and project management. She joined the Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department in 2005 and has since worked in a variety of roles for the CRA and the Planning, Land Management and Community Enhancement (PLACE) Department. She previously served as Assistant City Manager for the City of West Palm Beach, Fla., and has served in both elected and appointed positions for the towns of Jupiter, Fla., and Juno Beach, Fla.
During her tenure with PLACE, the CRA and the Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department, Manning has focused on economic development, project management and process improvement. She has also been involved in many multi-departmental projects, including serving as project leader for the Gaines Street project.
Manning holds a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Architecture and a master's degree in Urban and Regional Planning, both from the University of Florida. She is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners and the American and Florida Planning Associations.
"Under the leadership of Michael Parker, the CRA has evolved into a viable and effective entity with significant potential to the point it requires a full-time director," City Manager Anita Favors Thompson said. "This transition will allow Ms. Manning, with her planning expertise, to take the agency to the next level, while it also enables Mr. Parker to concentrate efforts on overseeing Economic and Community Development."
The Community Redevelopment Agency was previously housed within the Economic and Community Development Department. However, due to the need for full time management of the agency, the CRA will now be a separate department, reporting directly to the City Manager's Office.
The City of Tallahassee established the CRA to create a framework for the redevelopment and enhancement of specific urban areas. The CRA Board is comprised of nine members, including the five City of Tallahassee Commissioners and four of the seven Leon County Commissioners, selected by the Leon County Commission.
The CRA has two distinct redevelopment areas. The Frenchtown/Southside Redevelopment Area, established in June 2000, covers 1450 acres. The Downtown Redevelopment Area, established in June 2004, covers 441 acres.
Each of the redevelopment areas has an advisory board that meets monthly to provide guidance on project plans to the CRA.
Cherie Bryant will serve as the interim Planning Manager until a new person has been selected to fill Manning's former position.
