The toughest division
Jean Lefebvre
July 24 2009 11:03AM
Earlier this week, in the course of discussing a different topic, the conversation drifted to the relative mediocrity of the Northwest Division. It wasn't so long ago that the Northwest was being touted as the best in the National Hockey League, and if that claim was debatable then, it would be preposterous now.
It all depends on how frame the argument, of course, but it seemed a stretch to call the Calgary-Colorado-Edmonton-Minnesota-Vancouver grouping the league's best even a couple of years ago when the theory was in vogue. Some proponents were careful to use the phrase "most competitive from top to bottom," which is much more accurate. Two seasons ago, for instance, the first-to-worst spread in the Northwest was a mere 10 points and no team in that division finished more than three points out of the Western Conference's top eight.
The other divisions, on the other hand, feature much more disparity between the rich and the poor. The Northwest was decidedly middle class as evidenced by the fact that no winner of the division has won the Cup since 2001 (only the Northeast Division has gone longer without a championship) and that the Northwest winner has been slotted in the No. 3 playoff seed (i.e. the lowest of all division champs) for the past six seasons.
In 2008-09, several former weak sisters in other divisions muscled up and the Northwest's reputation was further diminished. Just check out the winning percentages of each division against the rest of the West — Central vs. Pacific/Northwest (.550); Pacific vs. Central/Northwest (.485); Northwest vs. Central/Pacific (.465).
The Flames were the only Northwest team to post a true winning record against either of the other two divisions (they were 11-9 against both the Pacific and the Central) while the first-place Canucks managed to play .500 inter-division/intra-conference hockey (20-20).
So, with that sparkling record against the conference's other two divisions, with four teams in the playoffs (and the fifth only three points out) and with two representatives in the Conference final, can there be any doubt the Central is the best/toughest division in the West?
In a recent comment, Wanye Gretz presents the case for the Atlantic Division, which is the East's version of the Central in regards to having placed four teams in the 2009 playoffs. As WG notes, the most notable shortcoming of the Atlantic is the absolute awfulness of the last-place Islanders, who are a far, far worse team than the Nashville Predators, who ere the Central Division cellar-dwellers.
On the other hand, an Atlantic team beat a Central team for the Stanley Cup and Northwest clubs had a 17-13 advantage in head-to-head play during the regular season (only the Flyers had a losing record against the Central while only the Red Wings had a winning record against the Atlantic).
All that said, while recognizing that the Atlantic had the edge in some key categories this past season, the vote here is that based on present rosters, the Central is presently the best division in the NHL. What say you?
Yeah goat talk is all you losers know. Shut up already and discuss the article. The Northwest Division has always been tight but never the best.

@ Lefebvre:
Must feel good, huh? Spend your day writing a logical, well-thought-out article, and 50 comments in we've yet to hear one word about a single thing you've said. That's appreciation Nation-style.
In our defense, leaks aside that's one hell of a good-lookin' goat.

You are more than welcome to ignore everything that the commenters have brought up and make a comment regarding the Article itself without telling everyone to shut up.

I'm very sorry, but I'm too busy trying to reach Pat Riggin for comment about 4-H contests to reply to this.
July 24 2009, 04:11PM
@ Lefebvre:
Wait. Are you saying Pat Riggin was a real person?
And people say we are way too serious here in ON discussing hockey in the middle of the summer...
I can just imagine the first game of the season when the lights go down and they start blasting the music to pump up the crowd as they show the video montage to the sound of 'Dueling Banjos'
The divisions should tighten up now that the Habs leafs and ottawa have bad teams. The Northwest doesn't really have any teams that score a lot. Chicago is getting better so the Wings at least have some comp.

No kidding... and don't tell me you won't laugh your arse off the next time they start playing Cotton-eye Joe at the arena.
@ oilers123 I think you're right. We'll see even tighter races this year because...I can't do. Seriously, you have a problem with the goat. Dude, that picture should be hanging in a museum and Wayne should get some sort of heroes metal for bettering our lives by posting it. I mean come on, look at it, it's fricken hillareous every time. *sigh*
is that goat peeing a little?

I still feel bad for Lefebvre getting this hilarious response to an excellent article.

The 50 or so S&P 500 companies that have increased dividends every year for a quarter century have been dubbed "dividend aristocrats."
Believe it or not, about a quarter of this group — 13 to be exact — hasn't increased payouts this year, at least not as of late last week, S&P index analyst Howard Silverblatt noted last Thursday. Among the group: Becton Dickinson (BDX), Hormel Foods (HRL), Aflac (AFL) and AT&T (T).
This turns out to be somewhat normal — lots of yield-friendly companies wait til the holiday season to deliver the goods. The bulk of the aristocrats yet to make the call this year happen to be the same ones that chose to do so during October, November or December of previous years, according to Silverblatt. So there's just about every assurance short of certainty that they can/should/would/want to do it again over the next two and a half months.
SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY), a portfolio of more than 80 stocks that have increased dividends for at least 20 years (there's lots of overlap between this group, called the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats, and the 25-year group), has all 13 of those yet-to-increase stocks, note S&P Capital IQ's analysts this week.
This fund has already turned in a rich YTD performance — up nearly 21% — and it rarely makes sense to base a purchase on the timing of dividends, since they're generally already priced into the stock.
But if current income is all you care about, it's worth noting the ETF's record date for the quarter falls in late December and the payout is in early January, so you'd have a good shot of capturing any as-of-yet unannounced dividend increases (assuming they actually happen).

No Oil Country for Old Men
Robin Brownlee
March 10 2009 11:53AM
I love old guys because I am one. I appreciate old stuff because, well, there's something to be said for time-tested reliability and familiarity even when it's obvious there's newer, better junk around.
But, even as a writer who believes my most creative years are ahead of me despite having blown out 50 candles on the cake, as somebody who has a leather jacket I'll never toss even though it's older than Sam Gagner, I'm convinced there's no room for nostalgia when it comes to mapping out the future of the Edmonton Oilers.
So, while I applaud Kevin Lowe's willingness to think outside the box in his pursuit of Jaromir Jagr, the last thing I want to see is what's left of the once-great Mario Jr. draped in Oilers silks next season.
While landing Jagr as a Czech Mate for Ales Hemsky would qualify to some as a big splash, history suggests the now 37-year-old future Hall-of-Famer is one piece of nostalgia -- at $7 million or so a season -- Lowe and the Oilers can't afford.
Hey, I still own a TV that provided the best picture money could buy in 1988, but I won't be using it as the centrepiece for the home theatre my wife and I are building downstairs at Chez Brownlee. And I still consider Sean Connery the best James Bond ever, even if chicks now see a bald old man.
What I see when I look at Jagr, a once-great player whose best days are well behind him, is a warm, fuzzy repeat of Adam Oates and Jiri Dopita, or Glenn Anderson revisited. I see good intentions, time and money wasted on looking back instead of ahead.
I see a mistake waiting to happen.
Can't turn back time
The Journal broke the news about Lowe's pursuit of Jagr, who is toiling with Omsk Avangard in the Russian League. Some people considered the bid pie-in-the-sky stuff. It wasn't, as subsequent reports have shown.
As for me, well, I didn't have to think back all that far to vividly remember some blatant failures involving attempts by the Oilers to rekindle the past glories of 30-Something players.
- There wasn't anything to lose when Glen Sather brought back Anderson for the 1995-96 season at age 34 because the Oilers were awful and weren't going anywhere despite Doug Weight's 104 points. Anderson's stint his second time around lasted just 17 games, a stretch in which he produced decent numbers with 4-6-10. But Anderson wasn't a fit in the dressing room with Ron Low's young team and the replica of the Stanley Cup Andy kept in his locker stall was, frankly, embarrassing.
- Lowe gave Dopita, a national hero in the Czech Republic for his exploits in international play, a twirl to start 2002-03. Dopita, then 33, was supposed to be the best guy in the world not playing in the NHL. Despite obvious skill, Dopita had the foot speed of a cigar store Indian. He was a horrendous fit on a team that skated well. Dopita had just 1-5-6 in 21 games when Lowe had seen enough. Dopita was bought out.
- Oates was 41 and was widely regarded as one of the best set-up men of his generation when he inked a $1.75 million deal and pulled on Oiler silks for the 2003-04 season. Unfortunately for Lowe, Oates was 10 years removed from his prime and his career-high 142 points of 1992-93. Oates was a positive presence in the dressing room and was a mentor to Jarret Stoll and Shawn Horcoff, but he didn't produce: 2-16-18 in 60 games. Such a pro was Oates, he offered to give back some of his salary for the season when it became clear he'd flopped. Still, a failure.
Thanks for the memories
I get it that Jagr, who has 1,599 points in 1,273 regular season games with Pittsburgh, Washington and the New York Rangers, was a better player in his prime than Dopita and Oates.
Still, I don't have to crunch a lot of numbers or dust off the NHL record book to know that even the best players are in decline at the age of 35, let alone pushing 38. Jagr is not an exception to the rule.
In 2005-06 with the Rangers, Jagr had 123 points. In 2006-07, he dipped to 96 points. In 2007-08 he had 71 points. In each of those seasons he played 82 games. So, in 2009-10, if Lowe and the Oilers get him, he'll produce how many points?
If Lowe and GM Steve Tambellini want to make a significant splash as opposed to a big splash, they'd be better off throwing $7 million at somebody NOT born before 1980. Find a UFA. Or make an offer sheet. What they don't need is another blast from the past to blow up in their faces.
If there's anybody who thinks Mario Sr. is the answer for the Oilers moving forward, I'd strongly suggest you're mistaken. And, for top dollar, I'd like to sell you an Eight-Track tape deck that used to be top-of-the-line.
Worked like a hot damn. Honest.

March 10 2009, 04:26PM
@ The Menace: I'm with you. Fans here don't give a squeeze about sizzle. This isn't Carolina where free admmission to tractor pulls in the parking lot draws fans. It's not Nashville, where they have live bands playing during breaks in play. Fans here want results. They want a contender. They expect it, and they should.
@ Robin Brownlee:
Like I said in my post if there is a trade to be made then I am all for that. But I think the likely hood is that Edmonton gets passed over when it comes to the Hossa, and Gaboriks of the world on July 1st.
As far as wasting a roster spot we have a lot of players that are doing that right now. 1 Year of Jagr would not doubt make Hemsky happy, it would provide some of the younger players with some shelter ofensively. Lets not forget that in Jagr's final season for whatever reason he insisted on having Dubinsky on his line which could account for some of the drop in his #'s.
@ Robin Brownlee: This is why I pose the question; What is the long term goal for this team? Is there even one?
All the moves, except for maybe the O'Sullivan trade, seem to be short-sighted and band-aid solutions.
No country for old men.
The Oiler org. blew it when they decided to have a 3 goalie system. That limited the number of non goalies on the bench. That played havoc with the goalies not having enough palying and practice time. NOW, they don't have a reliable backup esp down the stretch for a playoff spot. Garon would have been a better keeper than the inexperienced Deslaurier. NOW the 49 yr old Roloson needs crucial rest time esp going 22 straight starts breaking Ranford's record. The Oilers really took a gamble and man was a bad idea to have 3 goalies at a time.
Not 49 yr sorry Rollie who is 39. Oops
March 10 2009, 06:23PM
@ Slurve: Roloson is 49, but he slipped Olczyk a bogus birth certificate.
id be sad to see smid go.. i like the kid... he play's hard....gilbert who ever for kovs man! if only
@ Robin Brownlee: Lol. Rollie like most health conscious athletes who are over the avg age of retirement are benefiting from healthy diet and keeping fit. I guess players like Chelios, Rollie, Messier, Roberts, Nolan etc are probably genetically built with longevity genes and quick recovering skeletal muscles.
Btw, I agree with you 100% on Team 1260 with Gregor that head shots (even clean ones) should not be in the game given today's bigger and unforgiving hi-tech equipment (shoulder pads). We don't need to build up the game with more testosterone hits. What we should do is compromise by enforcing stricter rules to protect a player's good health esp after hockey but still allow great hits that are not of a career ending or high risk in nature. Games are more exciting when your skill players are involved ex. Lindros and Lafontaine.
March 10 2009, 10:41PM
Yet we have a 39 year old goalie making almost 4 mill
March 11 2009, 08:31AM
@ Dan from Wainwright: Roloson has done a better job turning back the clock than most players. He hasn't been the problem. In fact, this team is dead in the water right now without him.
March 11 2009, 09:00AM
*sighs as he puts on the old broken record*
It doesn't matter if it's Kovy, Crosby, Malkin, or Ovechkin coming here (not that i'mm saying any of them possibly could), if MacT is coaching this team in 2010....it goes nowhere but 8th place

W.T. asks everyone to remember when this rumour was flying around that both Tambo and Klowe came out and said that they had NO interest in Jagr at all, end of storey. Do you think they are lying to the great Oiler Nation? A high quality man like KLowe would try and pull the wool over the sheep's eyes? W.T. says R.B. didn't like it when W.T. suggested Kovy coming to Oil. Why won't this storey die then, maybe Tambo and KLowe can make a joint statement to clear this up. You know everyone will believe them don't you?
That's a remarkable post. Jagr isn't coming here because the Oilers' GM said so, but the Kovalchuk story just won't die despite the Thrashers GM saying so. Let's reverse it.
Kovalchuk isn't coming here because Don Waddell made him captain of the Thrashers and has publicly (and repeatedly) said that he plans to hang on to him.
On the other hand, W.T. doesn't like the suggestion that Jagr might be coming here. Why won't this story die then?
March 11 2009, 12:59PM
@ Jonathan Willis: Logic. Stop it.
RB: this thread's probably dead but what kind of a deal would you give me on some Boston 8-track's;) Their first two albums are dandy:)
Seriously, though, I think it's a bit misleading to lump all three guys into the one idea. Dopita was young enough to still be able to make an impact when he signed but there was a miscasting of him for some reason because he looked horrible when he got here.
So, Dopita never Did had the track record of a Oates or Jagr and Oates was 41 years old when he started his lone Oilers season - plus he'd missed camp and was behind right from the get-go - and Jagr would turn 38 just past the midway of the 2010 season if we brought him in.
So, all that should've been listed and the biggest question is how much we'd pay and what the ramifications would be therein.
What we've seen the Isles do in the last couple of seasons and overpay guys a little because they've got the room to do it on a short-term basis because they aren't paying anyone else. The Oilers don't have that option but if they did - and I know they probably won't - I'd have no problem with them throwing a few mill at Jagr for one year.
He might not be the young Jagr but there's a difference in him and what Dopita and Oates were as Oilers. The biggest question is if we should use the money on him.
So, I'd wait and see before coming out against this as vehemently as you did.
March 11 2009, 09:27PM
@ Dennis:
There are ALWAYS better options than throwing $6-7 million at players approaching their 38th birthdays.
And it's perfectly legitimate to mention Dopita and Oates in the same item as Jagr. I don't put them in Jagr's class -- in their primes or when they became Oilers in relation to when Jagr might become an Oiler -- but I'm philosophically opposed to taking the gamble on players this old no matter how great they once were.
And, yes, the biggest question is whether the Oilers should spend the money on him. I say no.
RB: On a one-year contract - if you have the money - then I am all about throwing some money at him. We still haven't lured a name UFA and the contract would be presumably for only one season, so why the shag not?
Of course there's a limit but I"m not gonna go against it Just because of his age.
And, because I'm just sometimes a stickler:), I think it's important to list the ages and previous accomplishments of all three guys. For instance, Oates was on a pronounced downswing before we picked him up and the circumstances mitigated further when he missed camp.
The devil's in the details, IMO.
I'd rather have Jagr for $7 mil than Horcoff at $7 mil!
March 13 2009, 09:49AM
[...] what you will about Jagr – and people like Robin Brownlee has said that he wouldn't sign him, but whatever you do, don't play the "he has a KHL contract" card, as Kevin Lowe and [...]

Accurate goal-kicking from Nick Macleod helped Sale to a deserved 16-9 win over Bath in their Aviva Premiership clash on Friday.
Accurate goal-kicking from Nick Macleod helped Sale to a deserved 16-9 win over Bath in their Aviva Premiership clash on Friday.
The win lifted Sale up to sixth in the table and sets up an intriguing Heineken Cup shoot-out with rivals Gloucester next weekend.
In a game of fine margins it was Rob Miller's 72nd-minute try that proved the difference between two sides desperate to win.
The Sale full-back hacked on a loose ball and showed great pace to beat opposite number Nick Abendanon to the touch down. Fly-half Macleod added the extras.
Until then all the points had come from penalties – three apiece for Macleod and Bath's Olly Barkley.
Bath took the lead at the end of the first quarter when Sale's Andrew Sheridan was penalised for taking out Dave Attwood in the air in the line-out and shown the yellow card.
The visitors were unable to punish Sale further, although things could have been different had Matt Banahan not suffered a 'Devon Loch' moment the night before the Grand National.
Banahan caught his big toe in the Edgeley Park turf when unopposed and in the clear from an interception, much to the amusement of the home crowd that included watching England boss Stuart Lancaster.
Instead it was Sale who scored next, with Macleod making it 6-3 at half-time through two penalties.
Bath were heavily penalised at the breakdown in the third quarter, during which time Sale extended their lead to 9-3.
Shortly afterwards Bath pulled three points back thanks to Barkley's boot, but that was as good as it got for Ian McGeechan's men whose own European hopes look all but over.
The scorers:
For Sale :
Try: Miller
Con: Macleod
Pens: Macleod 3
For Bath :
Pens: Barkley 3
The teams:
Sale Sharks: 15 Rob Miller, 14 Tom Brady, 13 Johnny Leota, 12 Sam Tuitupou (c), 11 Mark Cueto, 10 Nick Macleod, 9 Dwayne Peel, 8 Andy Powell, 7 David Seymour, 6 James Gaskell, 5 Kearnan Myall, 4 Andrei Ostrikov, 3 Tony Buckley, 2 Joe Ward, 1 Andrew Sheridan.
Replacements: 16 Marc Jones, 17 Vadim Cobilas, 18 Henry Thomas, 19 Richie Vernon, 20 Mark Easter, 21 Cillian Willis, 22 Will Addison, 23 Charlie Amesbury.
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Matt Carraro, 13 Matt Banahan, 12 Olly Barkley, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Tom Heathcote, 9 Michael Claassens, 8 Simon Taylor, 7 Carl Fearns, 6 Ben Skirving, 5 Stuart Hooper (c), 4 Dave Attwood, 3 David Wilson, 2 Ross Batty, 1 Nathan Catt.
Replacements: 16 Pieter Dixon, 17 Charlie Beech, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Ryan Caldwell, 20 Josh Ovens, 21 Mark McMillan, 22 Sam Vesty, 23 Dan Hipkiss.

I was a little worried that the sole showed too much and might look a little fuddy duddy, but it doesn't!These shoes have more cushion than your average flats. They are very comfortable. They are also wider and roomier in the toe area than most shoes. I have very wide feet, and they fit perfectly. They seem true to size in length. They don't show any toe cleavage. The heel is a little high and rubs a bit, but the material is pretty flexible so I think it will break in after a few wears."

The Only Flat You Need
"I currently own these shoes in the Pewter and they really do go with everything. They dress up a pair of jeans and also pair nicely with office wear, without looking too casual. The best part about these shoes is they are extremely comfortable. The top of the shoe is shaped more like a natural foot so toes do not feel cramped and the soles have the perfect amount of cushioning making all-day wear easy. These are the only shoes I own that I don't immediately take off when I get home after a long day at work. They're so comfortable, there's no need! I wear a 9 1/2 and these are the most perfectly fitting 9 1/2 shoes I've ever worn. They also do not make my feet look like as big as they are, even when I wear with a skinny jean."

Following the success of his Justice vs. Simian remix last year, New Yorker Chris Moody has been hard at work on collaborations and remixes for the likes of Steve Angello, Roger Sanchez, and Tiesto. It gives us great pleasure to deliver his new track with fellow New Yorker DJ Riz: a fresh take on Boney M's 'Daddy Cool'. The pair have taken the legendary disco groove to big room proportions, and the result's a feel-good club banger. Rest assured, you'll be hearing this tune destroying a dancefloor near you very soon:

Game time, bitches!
October 12 2008 02:35PM
We're told that we shouldn't swear on here, particularly in a post. Apparently we are getting "bigger traffic now" and there are "kids reading." We have gotten "two emails" to this effect in the past month and a half so we are going to try and tone it down for the kiddies.
Now I suspect that the picture above won't be appropriate for kids... Er, nor will the exclamatory swear word in the title. Hmm. Don't read that if you are under 12, kids. Or look at the picture. Is 12 an acceptable cut-off age? When your ol' pal Wanye was 12 years old, we had already had five wonderful years of marriage under our belt. When we were 12, Wanye Gretz V was already six years old himself and working on starting a family of his own. So yes, 12-year-olds can read a swear word and laugh heartily at the picture of the teacher above.
How wonderful is the season opener going to be tonight?
- Better than Budweiser bringing out a 75 pack of Bud Light in stores everywhere and calling it "The Widow Maker"
- Better than every single pre-season game in NHL history
- Better than a million-dollar knife fight between Robin Brownlee and Jason Gregor—which would be pretty awesome too.
The last Oilers' game was April 2. We don't know how many days ago that was but we remember thinking "What the hell are we going to talk about all summer?" Well thanks to all of the Citizens of the Nation we have watched the summer fly by. Two massive trades, an ownership change of the franchise, three new writers and Kevin Lowe being fired without being fired but somehow still being in charge meant a busy summer.
Go Oilers!
Final thought
Post some chatter if you're watching the game. We are either going to the River Cree to watch a beer league game of a buddy—who assured us "If you come with me to my game we can go watch the Oilers game afterwards. We get a team deal on beer"—or watch it at OilersNation World HQ.
Good for Penner to get that out of the way early

Dustin Penner for first star.
And first line.
October 12 2008, 08:40PM
All the Penner haters can tuck this in their brains
Great win. Great game Penner! It was fun chatting on here. Maybe its good luck!
See you next game everyone
October 12 2008, 08:43PM
Awful win.
I'll take it anyway ;)
Especially in regulation.
October 12 2008, 08:44PM
Mad respect for Penner. Those kinds of performances won't allow for third line ice time for long. I agree with Willis whole heartedly.
First worst star: Louie Debrusk
Points iz points JW
Another Principe Fluffer at the end
October 12 2008, 08:46PM
Wow is that ever a stupid ending to a hilarious game. Juggling pucks gets diverted to Debrusk?
Ah sportsnet way to gas it
What a fortunate ending to a horible game with brutal effort. As mentioned many times in several other postings, the Oilers are in desperate need of someone to win face offs and defencemen who can gain control of the puck in their own zone. That being said, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the Oilers are 1-0!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 12 2008, 09:11PM
Aww nuts, I was looking forward to seeing Penners juggling act.
October 12 2008, 09:22PM
Note to Wayne: Your goat is on pace for 164 points and +82.
Just in case you didn't notice.
October 12 2008, 09:31PM
dorito -
He is still a goof bit point taken. If Grebs keeps the pace up I will upgrade him from goat to 'just crappy'
I have seen so many great efforts yield 0 points. It's nice to see the reverse.
Not great. Nice.
Sat next to an Av's Fan. Also nice. Projected Point Total: 164. Always outshot. Always outplayed. Always win 3-2. Always Have 5 beers at Rexall. (Will need all three goalies if they must see that much rubber) Fourth star to the crossbar. Thank You Hockey Gods For An Ill Deserved Victory!
I was telling a bud at the bar that its a good sign when you can win on a night when you obviously left your A-game in the dressing room.
They'll be much better next time out. The team has been spending the last week working on the PP and playing 4X4 scrimmages while everybody else has been playing big boy's hockey - and it showed.
BTW. The new EARL's on Campus is a kick-ass place to watch a game.
October 13 2008, 12:31AM
Those throwback jerseys are a blast. But Colorado really outplayed us despite our win.
Sloppy breakouts and poor on faceoffs tonight but at least we're showing the attributes of a good team:
1. Good special teams (PP, PK) 2. Good goaltending 3. Winning games we don't deserve to win 4. Orange and Blue retro jerseys
Now all we gotta do is work on our faceoffs. :-D
What Kind of Kool-Aid are you drinking?
I am not going to flame you but the concept of signs of being a good team are complete BS.
The 1st line was non-existent save the first PP which frankly was a gimme because Horcoff was open almost the entire PP.
Souray was GOD AWFUL, I actually have pity for Lubo at how bad Souray was tonight.
Faceoffs were horrible, 28% are you kidding me?
15 Shots on net with 2 minutes to go, that is embarassing.
If it wasnt for Flukes and Garon playing a great game we would have had no chance.
The only good things to take away were our Time on Attack (even tho we got no Shots), PK (as usual), and the fact that Gilbert, Grebs, and Strudwick played extremely solid games.
-ya ya Grebs had a few giveaways, but so did the team (Cole had 4), aside from that his Defensive plays were what surprised me.
October 13 2008, 01:39AM
If it wasnt for Flukes and Garon playing a great game we would have had no chance.
Garon was as solid as Jell-O. Nope, flukes won that game. And after follwing up that game with a Russell Peters DVD, I say, "Take it and go."
Thank fucking god for that bitch GARON!!!! Avs are assholes....Oh wait, no swearing?????
October 13 2008, 09:13AM
Looked at bit like a Canuck's win! Get completely out played, the goalie(Lou) wins the game single handedly.
Worked The Rexall beers through the system... This morning it occurs to me that having a great powerplay will mean nothing if the Mighty Oil are unable to draw penalties. There had better be big improvement on the first line for this to happen. As for faceoffs: will improve to 35% without personal/lineup changes. (That's Good Right? Good Enough? No. Oh Well...)
October 14 2008, 01:27AM
I think those indicators are important, Andrew. I remember those days when Dallas would beat us despite the fact that we were outplaying them... based on team depth alone. We might have some line match-up and defensive zone issues, but having goaltending and overall team depth is important to winning games we don't deserve, IMO.
The rest will be fixed via hard work and/or Tambellini's first major trade/signing

"Excellent recipe, I've tried a few but this was the most successful. I added Cinnamon to the batter because it was a little bland and kept the oil heat around 350 since 375 was far too fast paced to keep them from burning."
Reviewed Nov. 28, 2011
"question, do you dip the apple rings in the batter then deep fry? or what do you do with the apple rings?"

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
Ringing in the New Year has always been a time for reflection—looking back to the past, and more importantly, looking toward the coming year. Once again it's time to reflect on the changes we want to make in our lives and resolve to follow through on those ideals.
Let's see if any of your New Year's Resolutions made my Top 12 List?
- Make Time For Fitness
- Eat properly—Lose Weight
- Get Enough Sleep
- Drink Less Booze
- Quit Smoking
- Reduce Stress
- Improve Finances
- Improve Your Career—Improve Your Education
- Don't Be a Grump—Be Happy and Make Others Happy, Too
- Manage My Time
- Volunteer To Help Others
- Eat More Dark Chocolate
It is interesting to note that the evidence is in for fitness. Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better and younger. Why not make this the time to start getting in shape?
Over 66 percent of adult Americans are considered overweight or obese, so it is not surprising to find that weight loss is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions. Setting reasonable goals and staying focused are the two most important factors in sticking with a weight loss program, and the key to success for those millions of Americans who made a New Year's commitment to shed extra pounds.
Sleep deprivation is one of the major causes of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and obesity. Make sure that you allow yourself enough time to get the sleep you need to recharge your batteries and stay healthy and fit.
New Year's Eve is always a great incentive to finally stop drinking or reduce the amount of liquor you consume. Going cold turkey is very difficult for the heavy drinker as most are not equipped to make such a drastic lifestyle change all at once; they do much better when they taper gradually, or even learn to moderate their drinking.
Smoking is a dirty, sticky habit! If you have resolved to make this the year that you stamp out your smoking habit, over-the-counter availability of nicotine replacement therapy now provides easier access to proven quit-smoking aids. Even if you've tried to quit before and failed, don't let it get you down. On average, smokers try about four times before they quit for good. Start enjoying the rest of your smoke-free life!
Stress kills; it's as simple as that. Reduce your conflicts; restrict your debates to those that count. Not everything has to be a win-all situation. Get a massage, relax a little! You'll feel so much better and so will the people around you.
Okay the economy stinks! You feel no one understands what you are going through, but that is not the case. Millions of Americans are going through a rough time and many of them are suffering for it. There are debt relief organizations that are willing to give a helping hand with little or no fees required.
So you're not in the 1% like you planned to be and you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders along with the majority of the nearly 300,000,000. It's tough out there and we all know it. Take the time to say good morning, don't forget to kiss your spouse each night and let your kids and coworkers know when they have done something right. Go out of your way to find someone in the act of doing the right thing. Put on that smile and be less grumpy.
Time is precious, learn to manage it and don't let it manage you. Allow for a balance in your life—time for work, time for family and time for you.
Make this the year that counts. If you're considering a career change, want to learn a new language, or just how to fix your computer? Whether you take a course or read a book, you'll find education to be one of the easiest, most motivating New Year's resolutions to keep. Community Colleges offer a wide variety of "lifelong learning" courses, and local YMCA's offer great recreational training for beginners of all ages. Most local colleges and universities offer distance and adult education programs. Or if the arts are more your thing, community museums and playhouses offer many adult studio classes.
Fulfill a non-selfish New Year's resolution. Volunteerism can take many forms. Whether you choose to spend time helping out at your local library, mentoring a child, or building a house, there are many nonprofit volunteer organizations that could really use your help. Make an effort to visit returning veterans at your local VA hospital. They really need the company, especially around holiday times. They have given so much to our country. Or if your time is really in short supply, maybe you can donate furniture, clothing and other household items that you no longer need, rather than leaving them out by the curb to be discarded.
What does all this have to do with chocolate? All of the latest research shows in even the strongest terms that the long-term consumption of dark chocolate is associated with lower blood pressure, lower bad cholesterol, weight control, reduction of cavities and, in addition, is a wonderful, non-addictive mood elevator. Just match this list against my 12 Top 12 Resolutions and see how you can better achieve success in 2012.
If you're interested in learning more about chocolate, its effects on the human body and improving your disposition, buy Choclatique—150 Simply Elegant Desserts. It is a great anytime gift and most importantly, the recipes make luscious tasting desserts perfectly the first time and every time thereafter. It is a foolproof guide to making all of your favorite desserts and improving your sweet disposition and those all around you.
All of us at Choclatique wish you and yours the very best of success in the New Year filled with sweet dreams and chocolate wishes.

On Feb. 28, Mayor pro tem Eric Anderson opened the special town council meeting to appoint a new mayor for Emery. Mayor Mike Williams passed away in January, creating a need for a mayor to serve until the end of his term. That term will end Dec. 31.
Gary Petty was selected by the council to serve as Emerys mayor during the final 10 months of Mayor Williams term.
The process of selection of the new mayor consisted of advertising for anyone interested in serving to apply at the town hall office. These applicants were brought before the town council to be interviewed. There were three applicants, Eric Anderson, Alisha Roberts and Gary Petty.
Anderson stood down from the mayor pro tem position during the interviews. The remaining council, Corinne Dalton, Gary Jensen and Patrick Sundstrom asked relevant questions of each of the three applicants.
The questions were: what experience will you bring to the office of mayor? what is your approach to annexation? how would you handle a resident who wants to be unincorporated from the city? how do you propose to promote economic development in Emery and the rest of Emery County? what is your most important goal to work on as mayor? what would you do to improve the sense of unity in the community? and are you competent to lead Emery through the process of getting the curb and gutter work done?
Each of the applicants answered the questions, and the council voted for their choice. Town clerk Susan Praast was on hand to swear in the newly chosen Mayor Gary Petty.

"The boots look better online than in real life. The fit was good which I appreciated, but the comfort level was bad. I wore them for a day to test them out but immediately decided to return them. I was walking awkwardly and my feet hurt by the end of the work day, the only good thing is that I didn't get blisters."

"I bought the Zipit Bootie in black a while back and loved wearing them, but I put them on last week and the shoe squeaks. At first I couldn't figure out why, but then I realized it was as if the cushion of the shoe gave way. When I press my right heel down, it feels squishy -- like a sponge. Ah HA! so that's whats causing the noise. I've probably only worn them a couple dozen times as I like to rotate through my shoes quite a bit. Being in sunny So. Cal. sandals have been my go-to whenever possible. Perhaps it just had a poorly made pair, but it certainly makes me wary to purchase another one."

Garnish with chocolate shavings or chocolate curls. To make the curls, pull a vegetable peeler across a milk chocolate candy bar, using long, thin strokes. (The curls will be easier to make if the chocolate is slightly warm, so let the chocolate stand in a warm place for about 10 minutes.) Use a toothpick to lift the curls from the chocolate to the trifle.
Drizzle the whipped topping mixture with additional caramel topping and sprinkle with additional chopped walnuts.

To the Super Bowl victors belong the spoils -- a White House visit.
President Obama formally invited the pro football champion Seattle Seahawks to the White House during a Tuesday phone call to Coach Pete Carroll, the White House said.
"The President commended Coach Carroll and his team for a great game, and expressed how exciting it has been to watch the team play all season," said a White House statement. "The President told Coach Carroll that he looks forward to congratulating him and the team at the White House in the coming months."
The Seahawks hammered the Denver Broncos 43-8 in Sunday's Super Bowl game. The team's White House visit will be scheduled later this year.

Visit : Monument
Saint-Symphorien Military Cemetery
© J.Jeanmart - Belgiumtheplaceto.be
- Address:
Rue Nestor Dehon
- MAPS: Google Maps
Gather your thoughts in one of Belgium's most beautiful military cemeteries, only 2km from Mons, an unmissable remembrance tourism site.
In a calm and peaceful setting, surrounded by fields and trees, the Saint-Symphorien has two sections for both British and German graves.
This emotional place was awarded 2 stars in the Michelin guide. It is managed and immaculately maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
The cemetery is laid out like a little hilly park that can be visited in complete tranquillity.
The cemetery's historyMore than 500 men, most of which fell during the battle of Mons on 23 and 24/08/14, are buried in the cemetery: 284 German and 229 British servicemen.
You will also find the graves of soldiers who lost their lives liberating the city of Mons in 1918.
The cemetery is the final resting place of the first and last British soldiers to fall during the first World War, John Parr, who died in August 1914 aged 16 and George Edwin Ellison, who was killed on a reconnaissance mission barely an hour and a half before the Armistice.
Memorial ceremony on 4 August 2014The Saint-Symphorien cemetery will play a major part in the First World War commemorations on 4 August 2014 during a memorial ceremony in the presence of a member of the British Royal family, as well as members of the British and Belgian governments.
The Saint Symphorien cemetery is part of a memorial route featured in a guide available from the Tourist Office of Mons or to download here from their website.
Due to the First World war centenary commemorations taking place on 4 August 2014, Saint Symphorien cemetery will be closed to the public from 31 July to 5 August.
The official ceremony, in the presence, among others, of a member of the British Royal Family, will be shown on Belgian national TV station RTBF and on the BBC, as well as on a giant screen on Mons Grand Place.
Other events and speeches open to the public will also take place on 23 August.

Grass Valley man injured in solo accident
July 14, 2014
A 66-year-old Grass Valley man was flown to a Roseville hospital after rolling his vehicle Friday morning on Dog Bar Road.
The man, identified by the California Highway Patrol as Douglas Newnan, was driving southbound on Dog Bar Road south of Wheeler Acres Road at approximately 11:30 a.m. when he drifted onto the right shoulder for unknown reasons.
Newnan reportedly over-corrected, crossing into the southbound and northbound lanes before rolling his vehicle into a ditch.
Nevada County Consolidated firefighters and Sierra Nevada Ambulance crew members carried the driver up the hill. Nevada County Sheriff's deputies also assisted.
Newnan was flown to Sutter Roseville Medical Center and was listed in serious condition as of Friday night.

Jackie GleasonActor / Comedian
Born: 26 February 1916
Died: 24 June 1987 (cancer)
Birthplace: Brooklyn, New York
Best known as: Ralph Kramden on The Honeymooners
Name at birth: Herbert John Gleason
Jackie Gleason was a big, bluff comedian of the 1950s and 1960s. One of TV's early stars, he specialized in blustering loudmouths, blue-collar philosophers and thin-mustache cocktail-hour types. His show The Honeymooners, in which he played the scheming bus driver Ralph Kramden, ran only from 1955-56 but achieved cult status in endless reruns. (Shorter Honeymooners sketches were a regular part of Gleason's variety shows throughout the 1950s and 1960s, but the 39 full half-hour episodes seen in reruns come from the 1955-56 season.) Gleason also hosted several television variety shows and played dramatic roles, most notably starring as pool hustler Minnesota Fats opposite Paul Newman in The Hustler (1961).
Extra credit:
Gleason was a successful composer and conductor of jazz-inflected mood music, recording over a dozen albums during his career… Gleason's character in The Honeymooners often is cited as the inspiration for Fred Flintstone.

Once again I it brings me great joy to expose you to surgery (via blog posts rather than actual) and the many experiences that go along with it. I hope you find them interesting. (this -- photo credit—makes me want to quilt it)
Let's begin with this one by a non-surgeon who finds scars as fascinating as I do. Dr Charles' post Cicatrix is much more elegant than I could ever write about scars, but captures my feeling wonderfully. Each scar has a story attached to it. We all have one scar in common – the umbilicus – which tells of our attachment to our mothers.
"It looks like it's healing well." I told her. I didn't know if it would be appropriate or not, but I decided to say it anyway. "Your scar is a story. I hope you can own it. Don't ever be ashamed by it. It's a testament to your strength, a mark of your courage."
Dr Charles was inspired by this article in the NYTimes "Our Scars Tell the Stories of Our Lives" by Dana Jennings, as was Tara Parker-Pope "The Power of Scars." The comments attached to Parker-Pope's are a very interesting discussion on scars and their stories.
Moving on to the gratitude (or lack thereof) associated with the outcome of surgery, Bongi tells us about a patient with acalculous cholecystitis.
…….some time after this the neurosurgeon got a call from the family doctor from their home country. he was indignant. he wanted to know why the gallbladder had been removed in such a young male, a group that usually does not have gallbladder problems and that in the absence of gallstones. he felt it was totally unnecessary and demanded an explanation……..
QuietusLeo, the Sandman, tells us of true gratitude showed by a patient's family in the form of a gift after taking care of a "12 year old boy needed ultrasound guided drainage of perforated appendicitis with abscess." The father sent a touching note along with the gift which you should go read. The child (the patient) was less grateful, but we'll chalk that up to his age.
I called the family to thank them for their generous gift. The son answered the phone. When I identified myself he said that I had done a poor job because he didn't see the James Bond movie. I apologized and assured him that it was much more important to be healthy again.
He then passed the phone to his father. I thanked him for the gift. He said it was only a small token of appreciation. I assured him that it was much more than that.
Can you imagine the story that goes with this?! Check it out over at M.D.O.D. (photo credit)
T, Notes of an Anesthesoboist, back from her vacation in France tells us about a call to the ER -- "you know it's bad when"
One day I was giving someone a lunch break and wheeling her patient to the O.R. with the circulating nurse when we heard over the P.A. system,
"Any available surgeon stat to the emergency room. Any available surgeon to E.R. stat."
That stopped us in our tracks for a second. The nurse and I exchanged a look.
"Sounds pretty bad," I said.
Buckeye Surgeon talks about tough decisions as he gets ready to put in an access port for chemotherapy.
The other day I picked up the chart of a lady who needed a port and the first thing I noticed was that she was 92 years old. I must admit, my first thought was: what the hell are we doing here? She had metastatic breast cancer with lesions seen in her lungs and liver. I was all ready to march into the room and have an honest, heart to heart talk with the patient and the family about futile care and cost effectiveness etc etc.
But I composed myself. Every situation is different. I asked questions. I listened.
Bongi tells us about the difficulties of just walking away when nothing can be done surgically. He doesn't do as his "teacher" taught. Go read the entire post.
"now why did i just walk away?" he asked. we all gave the usual blank stares. "because there is nothing we can do for her." he said with a chuckle. those of us who needed to be in his good books gave the obligatory half hearted laugh. i could just manage a smile that i think came out more as a grimace.
Orac, Respectful Insolence, writes about being faced with a different kind of tough decision in "iron surgeon?" [first posted in July 2007 and reposted recently]
The other day, Sid Schwab, surgeon blogger extraordinaire, brought up a question that, I'm guessing, most nonsurgeons wonder about from time to time when contemplating how it is that we surgeons do what we do.
What about bathroom breaks?
…………….It happened to me only once, but it provided a serious dilemma. What do I do? I'm captain of the ship of the O.R., so to speak. The entire team depends on me. The patient depends on me.
And that's the key to making the correct decision……..
From WhiteCoat's Call Room -- What's The Diagnosis #4 – this 13 year old boy will certainly have a story to go with his scar! (photo credit)
Uveal Blues tells us about Better Vision, With a Telescope Inside the Eye for people with irreversible, advanced macular degeneration. Check out the post for photos.
Vijay, Scan Man's Notes, gives us a quiz using "three x-rays"
A small mental exercise for medical bloggers.
See the following three portable (bedside) chest radiographs that were taken in an ICU setting. They are in sequence.
See if you can guess the story that they tell.
What do you do when you can't get good IV access? Check out Dr Michelle Lin's post Sneak Peak "Trick of the Trade": IO line for failed IV access. There's even a video showing how to do the IO (intraosseous) access in adults.
Adult intraosseous needles are coming more into favor in the United States, although they have been part of standard practice in the military and Europe. Various commercial devices exist. The one we have at SF General is the EZ IO Needle. (I have no financial ties with the company.) Needle placement is surprisingly easy and takes less than 10 seconds, especially if you channel your inner Home Depot self in using the power drill.
Orac does a much better job than I did discussing "Overdiagnosis of breast cancer due to mammography" and it's implications. It's a must read for all of us.
M.D.O.D talks about a surgical tragedy in the recent news in two posts – here and here where he attempts to explain how the tragedy might have happened.
Surgeon hands intern trochar. Intern, stepping up on small stool puts all her weight behind it and hubs it. Descending aorta pierced, Surgeon apoplectic, blood fills abdomen, patient's legs get blue, Vascular Surgeon scared shitless, knows it's a hopeless case, tries to punt, no one receiving, then finally gets an accepting somewhere else. Rest of story plays out.
H/T to PSP (Plastic Surgery Practice) for the link to this news article from India -- Rare surgery helps re-implant foot's thumb to write with hand. Technically the foot does not have a thumb, so it should read "rare surgery uses foot's big toe to give right hand a thumb." Still it is a nice procedure.
H/T to Barbara, Medical Quack, who shared an update on the German Man with Double Arm Transplant. You can see a video of the man here.
IntraopOrate was recently an ENT patient. Here's the first part, read her post for the outcome.
I've been having some unpleasant pressure in my right ear and a couple of episodes of vertigo over the last six days. Today I had an appointment with my ENT Dr. He entered the exam room, we shook hands, he looked at my throat, looked up my nose (but doc, it's my ear that troubles me!) looked in my right ear and while rolling across to look in my left ear, he said "We're gonna have to get that hair out of there."
Dr Alice, 3rd year surgical resident, talks about some of the "sand traps" attending set for residents.
Answering to one attending is difficult enough. Answering to three or four at the same time, about the same patients, is extremely tricky (I'm not going to try to explain the structure of this group of attendings……..

A string of burglaries in the Windsor Pointe area landed four people in jail last week.
A traffic stop made by LaFollette Police Officer Bill Owens was the catalyst that led to more arrests by the Campbell County Sheriff's Department.
According to Owen's report, he had prior knowledge that Jonathan Nipper, 19, of 169 Robin Road, had an outstanding arrest warrant and a suspended driver's license when he conducted a traffic stop last Tuesday.
The LaFollette City Council wrapped up its meeting in record time Monday evening plowing through agenda items in under 15 minutes.
The group, minus an absent Councilman Hansford Hatmaker, voted unanimously to pass an action creating a discount for early payment of city taxes. As a result of the vote city residents can receive a 2-percent discount if their taxes are paid by Nov. 25 or a 1-percent discount if they are paid by Dec. 25.
Gail Herrin and Katie Goins approached the council requesting permission to organize a Christmas in the City event.
Venita "Cissco" Johnson was wrapped tightly in a gray sweater as she timidly waited for an interview on Tuesday morning.
Her young face lit up with a smile when congratulated for being the first African American elected to the Jellico Board of Aldermen in the Nov. 2 election.
Johnson was not boastful; rather she politely waited for questions and carefully thought about her answers.
Her reason for running in the election was not to make history as the first black female on the board. She wants positive change in her hometown.
A recent LaFollette City Council hopeful had a brush with authorities just days after his bid for a seat on the city's governing body came to an end.
LaFollette Police Officer Pam Jarrett was traveling on 7th Street in the early hours of Saturday morning when she observed Andrew J. Huddleston, 51, of 610 South 13th Street, traveling on Fir Street on the wrong side of the road with two flat tires.
According to Jarrett's report, Huddleston allegedly almost struck her patrol car when he attempted to make a turn onto South 7th Street.
The decision of two Campbell County men to ride out a hurricane has brought hope to 35 Haitian orphans.
When the New Life Ministries mission team left for Haiti, there were no reports of potentially hazardous weather. Instead the men were prepared to work in stifling 97-degree heat for a week.
A month long investigation led to the discovery of thousands in cash as well as drugs and weapons.
According to Campbell County Sheriff's Det. Lt. Brandon Elkins, a number of citizen complaints prompted a joint investigation by the CCSD and the Eighth Judicial Drug Task Force into a residence located at 426 Ivey Hollow Road.
On Monday morning officers made forced entry into the home that was surrounded by an eight-foot hire chain link fence topped with barbed wire.
When CASA representatives made an appeal for funds at the commission workshop their request was met with unexpected opposition.
During her presentation Renee Tackett, CASA director, informed the group a pot of money known as the victim's assistance assessment, which is made up of specific fines collected through the circuit court clerk's office, is currently being divided between the Campbell County Children's Center and CHET's domestic violence shelter.
Free nine- volt batteries will be distributed by the Campbell County Rural Fire Service tomorrow evening.
While the recent time change means less daylight hours, it also signifies something else. It is a reminder to change the batteries in home smoke detectors.
The Campbell County Rural Fire Service is prepared to help homeowners with the task by providing free nine-volt batteries.

When it comes to health care, you make sure those you love are well cared for. You make appointments for regular checkups for your kids and maybe even for your parents. You're the one who makes sure your husband has his blood pressure checked and sees a doctor when he is sick.
But when YOU have a problem or are in pain, who makes sure someone helps you? Some may tell you that pelvic pain or incontinence can be expected after having a baby or as we get older. This is simply not true, and the physicians and therapists in the Women's Health Rehabilitation program at RIC can help.
In order to be your best for everyone in your world, you have to be the strongest version of yourself. Pain or other problems with your pelvis or pelvic floor can lead to weakness throughout your body—and extend to your spirit if the problems affect your daily activities.
The term "inner strength" reflects the importance of the pelvic floor in the lives and health of women. RIC's Inner Strength Initiative® is our commitment to helping women tap in to this source of strength for their continued well-being.
Does low-back or pelvic pain prevent you from lifting your children or grandchildren or getting down on the floor to play with them? Does incontinence make you nervous to laugh or cough? Does swelling or lymphedema brought on by breast cancer treatments make it impossible to wear your favorite blouse? Do your hips hurt when you go up and down stairs while pregnant or postpartum? If so, you may be suffering from a musculoskeletal issue—an injury or condition that affects the body's mechanical structure. Treatments with professionals trained in addressing musculoskeletal concerns specific to women can help you get back to the life you want to live.
The physicians and therapists in RIC's Women's Health Rehabilitation program work with you to determine the cause of your pain or difficulty with movement and to develop a treatment program to address your needs. We then work to empower you to take back your life through manual physical therapy techniques, stretches, strengthening exercises and a range of other approaches available depending on your need. Women who have come for treatment at RIC have been stunned by the differences they see in their quality of life. Sometimes these women have raised their families through the pain after their doctors or family members told them for years that there was nothing they could do for it.
Don't wait another day to make solving your own discomfort a priority. We stand ready to help you be your best for those who rely on you.
