He says: "Courtney's been clean for years and is perfectly fine. This is simply about Frances preferring to live with her grandmother at this time. Frances is 17 and a strong-willed child, and this is a decision she made on her own." Wendy O'Connor, Courtney's Kurt's mother and Frances's grandmother, lives in Olympia, Washington, and last year, Frances told Bazaar: "She's probably the person I respect most out of anybody in the world." Do you remember when Courtney went on a Twitter rant in September? Frances Bean tweeted: "Someone adopt me please?" [People] Courtney Love's lawyer: "All I can tell you as Courtney's friend is that she loves her daughter more then anything in the world. Courtney will no doubt do what is best for Frances and will surely take her teenage daughter's desire and feelings into consideration with respect to the legal guardian issue." [Radar Online]Nicole Kidman's daughter Sunday Rose knows baby sign language. "She's picked it right up, Nicole says. As for her 17-year-old daughter, Bella: "She's incredibly talented… She expresses herself through drawing." [Showbiz 411]Yesterday's rant must have gotten him in a heap of trouble: Chris Brown has deleted his Twitter account. [Perez]Michael Lohan was arrested this weekend, after calling his ex-girlfriend — who has a restraining order against him. Whoops. [TMZ, Newser]Bethenny Frankel stripped naked for giant PETA billboard. "It's so tasteful and beautifully done," she claims. "I am especially pleased because it doesn't look like there's been any airbrushing, and I was already pregnant when I shot it." No airbrushing? Pardon us while we LOL. [Page Six]BREAKING: After giving birth yesterday, Kourtney Kardashian wanted a tuna sandwich. [TMZ]Elton John and David Furnish still want to adopt a kid, even though their attempt to adopt a 17-month old Ukrainian child who lives in an orphanage was denied. Furnish says: "We were upset not to be allowed to adopt but we'll fight and work with the Ukrainian government to change the law so that HIV positive children can be adopted. We'll be like uncles. They can visit us on holidays." [The Sun]So… Toby Keith was at the Nobel Peace Prize party, and Will Smith performed "Rapper's Delight." When the word "yellow" was uttered in the line "to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow," Keith pulled his eye into a slant. Asian people love that, right? [TMZ]A-Rod says: "I'm definitely single." Guess he won't be on Kate Hudson's arm at any Nine premieres. Still, a source says: "They've definitely broken up. There's been some drama before about his roving eye. But this isn't the first time they've split up and got back together." [Page Six]A-Rod was seen in Miami over the weekend in the company of a leggy blonde. A "snitch" says: "Alex has a wandering eye, and Kate is a hopeless romantic. It's not exactly the perfect match." [Gatecrasher]Wait, what? Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren is having a "secret meeting" with Victoria Beckham? Apparently friends have urged Elin to talk to Posh, whose own marriage was threatened by claims David Beckham had an affair with his assistant, Rebecca Loos. [The Sun]Several women involved with Tiger Woods claim that he wired money to them — from $5000-$10,000 — on a monthly basis. "The money comes via a wire transfer," said one woman. "There's no contract about it, there's no discussion about what it's for, but it's implied that it's in exchange for keeping quiet about his affair." And! Apparently Elin has taken his cell phone away. [MSNBC Scoop]Jaimee Grubbs, who had a relationship with Tiger Woods, has been calling and texting an ex-boyfriend, boasting about her notoriety. A sample: "Hey u... It's been rough... I'm very well known now and everything I do is being blasted across the Internet… I'm on every news channel and in every magazine as Tiger Woods mistress." [Radar Online]Items like this one, about how Tiger Woods got out of sticky situations in the past, make you wonder about all the kinds of things celebrities get away with. [TMZ]Jennifer Garner's stalker was arrested Monday, and sorry to be judgy, but he's totally got a super creepy mug shot. [Radar Online]Alabaster-skinned Kelly Osbourne is the face of St. Tropez self-tanning lotions? Ah: Fake-baking is just one of the many things she learned on Dancing With The Stars! [Page Six]Chace Crawford was seen drinking red wine alone and texting. Stars! Just like us. [Page Six]Beyoncé hearts interactive theater. [Page Six]Jimmy Fallon's Michael Jackson impression is allegedly impressive. [Page Six]Ron Howard and daughter Bryce Dallas Howard would like to make a movie together; Bryce blames her dad for not making it happen: "He knows for a fact that I pester him every single day to put me in a movie. I really want to work with him!" [Gatecrasher]Daniel Day Lewis thinks Jeff Bridges should win the Oscar for Crazy Heart. "Everyone loves him. And he's so good." [Showbiz 411]Mel Gibson "rarely" has time for his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, or their six-week-old daughter, Lucia. According to a source. "Mel can go days without even stopping by Oksana's home and checking in on Lucia - much less feeding her, putting her down for a nap or changing a diaper," spills a source. "Mel tells Oksana he isn't raising Lucia any differently than he did his other passel of kids, and that (his estranged wife, Robyn Gibson) really did the raising." [MSNBC via National Enquirer]"A movie company that hired Samuel L. Jackson to star in a big-budget film is pissed off they weer forced to settle for Laurence Fishburne instead, this according to a new lawsuit." [TMZ]Roman Polanski's The Ghost, starring Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor, will be released in the U.S. as The Ghost Writer in early 2010. [NY Daily News]Coming to a silver screen near you: In The Heights — based on the Broadway musical — directed by Kenny Ortega. Meanwhile, Corbin Bleu will do the show on Broadway. [Page Six]Alan Arkin's character in The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee: Loosely based on Arthur Miller. [Page Six]In a world of losers, SpongeBob SquarePants is a winner. [NY Daily News]The New York Film Critics Circle chose The Hurt Locker as best picture. Will director Kathryn Bigelow get an Oscar nod? [NY Post]A cheat sheet for the movies which will "most likely" be Oscar nominees at the link. [NY Post]BREAKING: Whatshisname doesn't like boobs. [The Sun]"Dear Santa, I want a boy for Christmas... wanna hook a sista up?! Oh, and not just any boy… one that holds the door open for you, and writes hand written letters, and spends time with the (parents).. ya hurrd?" — Teen star Demi Lovato, via Twitter. [MSNBC]"I thought a divorce was the best thing for both of them at the time, as they were a destructive influence on each other. But I was sad Blake had lost the love of his life. I speak to Amy on the phone. She said to me recently: 'You have an amazing son who is gorgeous and beautiful and sensitive. But other people don't see it.' I'm convinced Blake and Amy will remarry early next year. I don't know when, where or how it will happen. I'd like to be at the wedding this time round but I wouldn't be surprised if they went away and got hitched without anyone knowing about it. Whatever they do, I think it's going to be a happy ending this time." — Georgette Civil, mother of Blake Fielder-Civil, who says the drama between her son and Amy Winehouse almost drove her to suicide: "All this has taken a big toll on my own life… I reached my lowest ebb over the summer and even thought about ending it all." [Daily Express]"When I met Carey, I was an abused puppy in the corner, ready to bite anyone who put their hand out." — Pink says she has softened since meeting her husband. She also claims: "I've always said I like Britney. I swear to God, I've stuck up for Britney since the beginning." [Gatecrasher via Women's Health]Reply114 repliesLeave a reply

not a winter boot
"these boots are comfortable and cute. However, they're not winter boots, even though they are advertised as such. They're more like regular hiking boots, not warm at all. Also, they don't seem to be waterproof."

Loved the shoe online....
"To be honest, I loved the shoe online and was super excited to have my order delivered (FREE SHIPPING!), I ordered a size 9, but when I attempted to cram my foot in the shoe I could barely get it on :( The plum color was what really reeled me in. it looked more like a snowboarding boot in-person. I returned them to the store HASSLE FREE! none the less it was still a great experience!"

"I love these shoes!!! They are so comfortable and I work out on them everyday. They actually dont make your feet sweat while you work out. They fit very nicely too."
By: AshleyGator

"Ryka's thing is that they make "sneakers for women." Apparently women tend to overpronate (roll onto the outer part of the feet) because we have wide hips. So there is extra support on the outside of this shoe. It felt weird at first, since I wasn't used to it. I had painful feet and ankles the first day or 2, but I've since broken in the sneakers, and I do like them. They are very light-weight and breathable. There seems to be a little bit too much room in the toe region, but they fit snugly where they are supposed to. I don't know a lot about proper running shoe fit, but I do know they fit a heck of a lot better than my old shoes! (don't forget to replace your running shoes every 300-400 miles!)"

Excellent Exercise Shoe
"I really needed a proper light weight running shoe for when I get on the treadmill and for when I do my work out videos that wouldn't agitate my knees like my other so called running shoes. These do the trick and so far they reduce the soreness of my knees that I used to get from running. I recommend this to anyone who works out on a regular basis, you have to have a pair of shoes like these."

Skip to comments.Obama Administration Blocks Law Requiring Texas Residents to Show Photo ID Before Voting
Posted on 03/12/2012 9:04:52 AM PDT by Sleeping Freeper
The Justice Department is objecting to a new photo ID law in Texas for voters, saying the state has failed to demonstrate that the the law is not discriminatory by design against Hispanic voters.
The department's head of the civil rights division, Tom Perez, wrote a a six-page letter to Texas' director of elections saying that Texas has not "sustained its burden" under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act to show that the new law will not have a discriminatory effect on minority voters. About 11 percent of Hispanic voters reportedly lack state-issued identification.
Perez wrote that while the state says the new photo ID requirement is to "ensure electoral integrity and deter ineligible voters from voting" the state "did not include evidence of significant in-person voter impersonation not already addressed by the state's existing laws."
Perez added that the number of people lacking any personal ID or driver's license issued by the state ranges from from 603,892 to 795,955, but of that span, 29-38 percent of them are Hispanic.
"According to the state's own data, a Hispanic registered voter is at least 46.5 percent, and potentially 120.0 percent, more likely than a non-Hispanic registered voter to lack this identification," Perez wrote.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Perry should tell Holder and Obama to take a hike. No photo id no ballot and no vote.
If they require voter id then all voters mush show id not just some so the burden would be equally shared by everyone.
This is just more division from the executive branch.
I would dearly love for a state, any state, would tell Holder and Obama to got straight to hell. Do what is best for that state regardless.
Excuse me but how can you be "potentially 120%" less likely to have ID? Do they just pull numbers out of their backside because they think they sound impressive?
The last desperate punches of a bested man.
How is showing an ID racist..
I understand illegals but otherwise I just don't get it.
If I didn't know better, I'd think Obummer HATES Texas. Didn't he just pull Millions out of a Houston Fundraiser? /s
That's because Texas is crawling with illegals. I believe Kansas now requires a photo id. I haven't voted recently, but it seems I've read that.
What percentage of Texans are citizens of Mexico?
Did you read about the 35 year old man beating up a 67 yr. old man during a concert at the Chicago Symphony?
What a bunch of bums occupy our nation's capital and our president's home town.
So nice of them to tell us the scope of the illegal alien vote. If I were Texas, I'd sample that population right away and provide the DOJ all the data it needs. Model it backwards for the consequences on prior elections. Then enforce the law and let them squeal.
"saying the state has failed to demonstrate that the the law is not discriminatory by design "
Rather than the state trying to prove a negative, shouldn't the justice department be trying to prove that it IS discriminatory?
And, how can anyone survive without ID of any kind in the modern world? Seems impossible to me. You can't cash a check. You can't use a credit card. You can't have a conversation with a police officer without being asked for ID. The idea that people don't have ID and are actually citizens lacks credibility to me.
0bamao trampling the 9th and 10 amendments again!
I guess this means that Team Obama is banking on fraudulent voting to carry him into re-election in November.
The liberals have sure gotten away with a lot by using the race card. Now you have to prove that you're NOT a racist. And you have to prove that a new law is NOT racist. That's like boner proving he's NOT going to cry.
Where does it say in the constitution that the president gets to decide which state laws are valid and which are not?
The time has passed where we comply and cooperate with tyrants. Expect Perry to tell them to shove it. We need some open resistance and soon.
That's OK - most of us Texans hate him back.
Texas should reply to Obama "We don't care what you think", and implement its law.
What can Obama do, other than stomping his girly feet in distress?
It's time for Thoreau's Civil Disobedience.
I've shown I'd in Ohio for years...gladly pull it out each time.
Two weeks ago, I was at a conventipon at one of the Disney hotels in Orlando. I had to show photo ID to get into the parking lot. I commented to the guard that most of my State Legislators don't think I need this to vote, why should I have to show it to him just to park my car. Not to mention shoing it to board an airplane and get my hotel room, and rent the car.
Under the reserved powers of the Constitutution, elections are to be conducted by the states. IMO, in order for the Feds to step in, they must prove that the state law is a violation of CIVIL rights. The Feds are claiming the State of Texas has to prove a negative. That's not the way it works. Gov. Perry should indeed tell Holder to stick it.
I'm beginning to believe these fundraisers are bogus. They're getting their money from only a few sources. It was probably whispered to everyone at the fundraiser "You don't have to pay. But don't tell anyone else."
It does discriminate against illegal Hispanic voters.
About 11 percent of Hispanic voters reportedly lack state-issued identification
Perry should shove it back and ask to show where its discrimination. What is the basis DOJs claim?
Go get an ID if they want to vote. Men and women paid the ultimate price to give and defend citizens the right to vote.
Who could've guessed this? (I think any of us...)
They tried the same thing in GA. We told them to kiss our grits. I just had to show ID to vote on March 6th.
So can a hispanic college student refuse to show an id at the bar?
Kinda goes back to states rights doesn't it? Interesting concept that they don't understand states rights. It's a well known fact though that if you want to control the federal government, you have to control your individual states.
I agree, Rita. Hope we hear from Gov. Perry soon. This is outrageous...
By what authority do they "block" this law? This is a state issue. The states really need to start taking a strong stand against the DC dictatorship, and tell 'em to come prevent election officials from showing away those that don't have ID. They will get laughed out of Texas.
Thanks Sleeping Freeper, additional:
Will be interesting to see how Perry handles this
I think my plan is a good one: First gather and publicize the data that for certain will prove the DOJ contention is a bogus attempt to preserve a fraudulent vote.
Then tell them to shove it.
Under these rules, vampires can't vote. And hispanics, apparently.
I just heard on the radio that the 0 administration failed to get the law stopped. Which is it?
The Voting Rights Act via the Fourteenth Amendment.
Whites have to do it.
Blacks have to do it.
Asians have to do it.
Hispanics can't do it? Say what?
What makes them so inferior that they can't comply with this?
I don't consider them inferior. Do you consider them inferior?
Who considers them inferior? Oh that's right, Barack Hussein Obama and his flying monkeys.
Get over your racists inclinations Mr. President. Come on, you can do it. Bring that baby blanket and binkie with you and crawl right into the 21st Century with the rest of us.
Texas Secede!
Show ID. Beer, smokes, EBT cards, you need ID. This isn't "racist", it's just common sense.
They know it. We know it. This is a conspiracy to perpetuate a fraud. Period.
"the state has failed to demonstrate that the the law is not discriminatory by design against Hispanic voters"
The term "voter" is extremely loosely used, isn't it?
Just what IS a voter, anyway?...
You're not a voter unless you've already voted, right? If you're an authentic would-be voter, you still have to be legally registered, right? And even then, if required, you'd still have to show photo ID and/or registration card, SS card or what have you, right?
Unfortunately, illegitimate voters make it through and their votes get counted.
I'm not a fighter pilot but I've played one in a few computer flight sim's over the years...
I'm not a NASCAR driver but I've played one in a few computer auto racing sim's...
I'm not an illegal alien standing in line hoping to vote in
US elections but apparently, I CAN play one in real life and that's no bullsh*t.
There's something REALLY wrong with that.
Send in Federal Thugs and start a civil war.
How did these people register to vote in the first place if they have no id?
Even using the data most favorable to the state, Hispanics disproportionately lack either a drivers license or a personal identification card, Thomas Perez, head of the Justice Departments civil rights division, wrote in the letter to Keith Ingram, the director of elections for the Texas Secretary of State.
*The DOJ is blowing smoke..they're only sampling driver license data or personal ID but here are the forms of acceptable ID's to vote in Texas:
a driver's license or personal identification card issued to the person by the Department of Public Safety or a similar document issued to the person by an agency of another state, regardless of whether the license or card has expired;
a form of identification containing the person's photograph that establishes the person's identity;
a birth certificate or other document confirming birth that is admissible in a court of law and establishes the person's identity;
United States citizenship papers issued to the person;
a United States passport issued to the person;
official mail addressed to the person by name from a governmental entity;
a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows the name and address of the voter; or
any other form of identification prescribed by the Secretary of State.
It's a damned shame when voting is treated just like a trip to the movies. Wait, even kids have to show ID to get into a R-rated movie.
Hope Gov Perry tells them to stuff it.

Empirical Work in International Law: A Bibliographical Essay
Gregory Shaffer
University of California, Irvine School of Law
Tom Ginsburg
University of Chicago Law School
August 5, 2009
Minnesota Legal Studies Research Paper No. 09-32
Empirical work in international law is rapidly increasing in quantity and sophistication. This trend reflects the expansion in number and importance of international organizations and courts, as well as developments in legal scholarship and the social sciences. This bibliographical essay forms the basis for a forthcoming chapter in the Oxford Handbook on Empirical Legal Studies (forthcoming 2010). It surveys empirical work on international tribunals, treaties and many substantive areas of law. Some of these areas, such as trade, investment and human rights, are the subject of burgeoning empirical literatures. Others, particularly private international law, have received less attention to date, but good work is beginning to emerge, as is the case with criminal law and investment law. We see the field continuing to expand and diversify in years to come, as many outstanding questions beg for analysis.

If you missed tonight's game you'll be kicking yourself for a long time. For all the struggles, losses, bad signings, injuries and long nights Oiler fans have had to endure for the past six years, a night like tonight makes it pretty damn exciting to be an Oiler fan, I would think.
If you weren't old enough to watch the Oilers in the 1980s, tonight gave you a sense of what it felt like numerous times every season. The game was freewheeling, end-to-end action and damn exciting. The building was electric and every Oiler player was happy to be a part of history.
In case you missed it, Sam Gagner had a game that Oiler fans haven't witnessed since March 14th 1986, when Paul Coffey tallied two goals and eight points in a 12-3 romp over the Red Wings. Wayne Gretzky had eight points twice. He tallied four goals and eight points on January 4th, 1984 in a 12-8 win v. Minnesota and he had three goals and eight points on November 19th, 1983 in a 13-4 win over New Jersey.
Gagner was in on all 8 Oiler goals. That will never happen again. Going 8 for 8 is seriously unbelievable. IT has only ever happened once before.
For one night, Tom Renney should be applauded for maybe the most genius in-game line juggling ever. He put Gagner, Hall and Eberle together to start the 2nd period.
Gagner had no points in the first period, three in the 2nd and he tied another Oiler record with Jari Kurri for most points in a period with 5 in the 3rd. Gagner, Taylor Hall and Jordon Eberle scored on five consecutive shifts in the third period they said. Think about that for a moment. You can't score on five straight shifts in men's league, nevermind the best league in the world.
Everyone of Gagner's teammates was absolutely loving it.
I haven't seen a dressing room that excited since the 2006 playoffs, and this was a different type of excitement. They knew they had just witnessed something they will never see again.
I'm sure you will witness some incredible things from Hall, Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in the future, but you will never see another 8 points on all 8 goals again. It won't happen.
"I won't be in the same breath as Gretzky or Coffey, if it is anything but this," said a humble Gagner. "Even before this you never expect to do something like this. It is a great lesson to never set limits. The great players that have played here before never did that, and I was never thinking about that tonight. I was just looking at continuing to play and we just kept scoring. It was crazy."
I asked Gagner what was the most memorable about tonight, and his response says a lot about the young man.
"The Gagner, Gagner chants from the fans were crazy. I've been through a lot in Edmonton. The last few years have been really hard, especially the losing, but the chants from the fans and the excitement from my teammates gave me chills."
Gagner was very sincere and heartfelt when he uttered those words. You could tell he was truly humbled by their reaction, and to be mentioned in the same breath as Gretzky.
His teammates were just as excited. Taylor Hall set a career-high with four points, but on this night it was all about the one you call Samwise.
"I feel like a bit of a pigeon with only four points tonight," laughed Hall. "It was a crazy night, and every time we got the puck we were in the offensive zone tonight, especially in the third period. The puck always seemed to be on Sam's stick and every time he made a great play with it. It was fun to see and I'm really happy I was able to be on the ice with him for all the goals. It's a real cool moment."
"I think Crosby had six points, maybe seven, yet we had eight or nine goals, but I've never seen eight for eight," said Ryan Whitney. Gagner was in on all of them, it was unbelievable. I'll never see that again, and I'm sure none of us will. It is just crazy," continued a shocked and excited Whitney.
What were the guys thinking on the bench?
Whitney ---- "I looked up when we got our fifth and it said two and three (goals and assists for Gagner.) I didn't know that, I thought he had four. Then he got the sixth point, and then we just started laughing in amazement. I was out with him for a few of them, and as he kept putting up more we just kept smiling and laughing. He didn't even know what to say, you could tell by his face that he didn't believe it. It was awesome."
Ryan Smyth ---- "There was talk on the bench that they scored on five straight shifts, so we were saying get back out there. Late in the game our line was up, but I looked at Sam and said 'you go.' I wanted to see him give it every effort to break Gretz' record. It's not very often anyone has a chance to beat one of his records. It was a very special night."
Tonight and tomorrow is not the time to wonder if Gagner can be a consistent 2nd line centre, instead you should just enjoy what you witnessed tonight. If you missed it TSN 2 will be replaying the game at 11:30 p.m. I'm sure many of you will want to watch it again and just sit back in disbelief and awe.
It's not very often you get to say "I was there," for record breaking moments. If you were lucky enough to be in the building or watching at home smilling from ear-to-ear, just enjoy the moment.
Too often in life, and in sports, we don't fully ingest the wonder of something truly special.
Tonight was one of those games.
It was a night Sam Gagner will never forget, and I'm happy to say I got to watch it, as well as the reaction from the fans, Gagner and his teammates.
Nights like these are what make sports great. How many of us dreamt of having a night like this when we were kids? I'd bet most of you did, and to watch it happen for someone is very rare and special.
It turns out Gagner is only the 2nd player in NHL history to score eight points in a game where his team only scored eight goals. Mario Lemieux was the other.
Only 12 players in NHL history have ever scored 8 points in a game, and it has only happened 15 times in league history.
Lemieux did it three times, Gretzky twice and Maurice Richard 1944, Bert Olmstead 1954, Darryl Sittler 1976 (10 points), Tom Bladon (D-man) 1977, Bryan Trottier 1978, Peter Stastny 1981, Paul Coffey 1986, Patrik Sundstrom 1988 and Bernie Nicholls 1988 did it once.
Lemieux tallied all three of his 8-point games in one sizzling season, and prior to Gagner he was the last player to accomplish the feat on April 25th, 1989. (playoff game)
The Oilers franchise is the first one to have three different players register 8-point games. The Canadiens had two in Richard and Olmstead.

Travis Dankin running buck down the streets
Did not the Nordique also have two players in Anton and Peter Stastny? The fact that two brothers did it would seem to warrant mention also.

What a night. What a fantastic night.
I just read the last 3 threads worth of comments, care to wager how many "Gagne" misspellings I saw...??
Sammy, you've arrived
Simon Gagner must be pleased about that as well!
February 03 2012, 10:53AM
No they didn't...I listed the 12 who have done it. Anton never had 8 in a game. I'm not sure where TSN got that, but no other place has it. Strange.
Quite sure you're right, Gregor, but TSN had Peter and Anton listed last night on a graphic of names of eight-point-players.
I suspect that's why Darcy is asking for clarification (shouldn't speak for him, though).
Haven't seen Anton's name since then, however, so I suspect (quietly) corrected their error by (quietly) removing his name.
Good tweets last night, too, Gregor. Kudos.
February 03 2012, 10:59AM
Simon Gagner must be pleased about that as well!
If Eberle can be Eberyay, Gagner can be Gagnyay!
February 03 2012, 11:00AM
I'm trapped in a glass case of emotion on this Gagner issue.
Nice plug for Shutterstock guys. I love how not even clearly watermarked images will deter The Nation from pillaging photos from Google images.
February 03 2012, 11:14AM
I think Sammy should sport the mystical leather 8 ball jacket for the rest of the season.
"Check this out! 8 ball! You got a question, you ask the 8 ball."
I watched a bit of the first then retired to the bedroom for some nookie. I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT!!!
I wake up and hear about the 8 pointer on the radio this morning. Damn me and my small head!
February 03 2012, 11:24AM
No they didn't...I listed the 12 who have done it. Anton never had 8 in a game. I'm not sure where TSN got that, but no other place has it. Strange.
Anton Stastny had 8 points in the same regular season game his brother Peter did.
Patrik Sundstrom recorded 8 points in a playoff game, which only Lemieux also accomplished, so he is not listed with the 12 players on nhl.com.
What a game....I'm not trying to be a buzzkill or anything, I think the 8pts is awesome!!! but on the Whitney goal...didn't Bolland try to clear the puck (aka touched it) but accidently cleared it to whitney...thus making it no assist for gagner? again, I'm not trying to kill the buzz, I'm just curious. What a game though, hope this ups his value for a good Dman trade or boost his confidence so he can continue to play like this (obviously not many more 8pt games) but would be cool if he became a point per game player
That sir, is what is called an NHL assist, similar to when there is a goal mouth scrum and the defending team attempts to clear the puck and it ends up in the back of the net courtesy some lucky offensive player, might seem like it is unassisted but one or two guys started the play.
greatest night in the building since 2006
February 03 2012, 12:23PM
Peter & Anton Stastny recorded 8 points each on February 22, 1981 in an away game against the Washington Capitals. I believe they share three single game records: the most points scored in a single game by brothers; the most points scored in an away game; and the most points scored by first year players.
February 03 2012, 12:28PM
dithers can't make easy decisions let alone difficult ones.
let me make it simple for him...KEEP SAM.
congrats Sam G.
February 03 2012, 12:56PM
can we please get to the REAL story behind last night's game? I think we all know what I'm talking about.
Whitney finally got that monkey off his back! I hope all the press doesn't bother him too much.

Aha, well there you go. I stand corrected.
Wonder how many points the other-brother-Stastny (Marian) had that night?
Aha, well there you go. I stand corrected.
Wonder how many points the other-brother-Stastny (Marian) had that night?
Well since Marian didn't play in the NHL until the next season I would guess zero.
Was there first hand to witness history. What a great night for the many of us that have repeatedly defended Sam in here....I"ve said it before and will say it again, if the Oilers trade away Sam they will end up regretting it.
It's been pointed out numerous times that many, and I mean many of today's top end nhlers didn't really do anything in the NHL until age 23 and older. There's a reason that other NHL GM's keep inquiring about Sam.
I think we've just witnessed the beginning of what will undoubtedly be more successful nights ahead for Sam in this league. Especially if the Oilers coaching staff can finally figure out that Sam should be playing top 6 with other top 6 players.
Jason....heard your interview with Hemmer and listened to what you had to say afterwards.....I couldn't agree more about your thoughts on Hemsky and to the idea of getting Hemsky under contract for the next 3 or 4 yrs....
Coming off 2 straight seasons of serious shoulder injuries I can see how this year would be a difficult year and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Hemmer returns to form at the back end of this year and continue it on into next year.
Whoever ends up with him is going to reap the benefits...I hope it's here...based on your interview it seems as though he truly likes it here, has many friends here, can see what is coming here and would like to be a part of it. He even said he was fond of the fans despite of the haters in here.
February 03 2012, 03:24PM
considering era, (excluding how good goalies are these days compared to the 80s) even though Gagner did not score one bad goal out of the four. This COULD BE the single greatest performance in an NHL game buy a skater.
No they didn't...I listed the 12 who have done it. Anton never had 8 in a game. I'm not sure where TSN got that, but no other place has it. Strange.
it's in wiki

Three guys did it in '88, so yeah that was definitely the era of inflated stats. It was an unreal performance.
February 03 2012, 05:35PM
@Jason Gregor
I think Spec may have set a record for seething re: Hemsky.
It is interesting to note how little thought he has actually put into the situation. He couldn't give you a straight answer to any of your reasonable questions. Bottom line: he just doesn't like Hemsky and he seems to think affability is the key quality NHL GMs look for.
Gagner, Taylor Hall and Jordon Eberle scored on five consecutive shifts in the third period they said.
Not to take anything away from their historic night, but they didn't score on five consecutive shifts. According to the TOI charts for the game Gagner scored on 3 consecutive shifts, Ebs and Hall 4 (if you include their last shift of the second period). They scored on 5 out of their first 7 shifts in the 3rd period (still ridiculous).
That's okay Mr. Gregor. We all make mistakes, just glad you corrected yourself.
February 06 2012, 08:48AM
I was on my computer with bated breath hanging on every word Rod Phi oh I mean Jack Michaels spoke as he brought the whole thing to life in my minds eye.
PS Best fun I have had in a long time! Since #94 tied #99 for the fastest 3 goals against the Sharks.

OGDB Semifinal: Bratislavan Brawl
Jason Gregor
February 26 2010 11:37AM
After crushing Russia on Wednesday, Canada faces an energetic and gutsy Slovakian team with excellent goaltending from Montreal Canadien Jaroslav Halak. But who else is on this team?
They've got the Marians _ Gaborik and Hossa — the Human Crane, Zdeno Chara and slick D-man Lubomir Visnovsky, but after that the names are recognizable, but they don't possess the fear of the Russians.
Still, don't underestimate the Slovaks.
Pavol Demitra skated like he was 25 years old against Sweden. He won races to the puck and out-skated the Swedes all game. He is tied for the tournament lead with Dany Heatley, Jonathon Toews and Marian Hossa with seven points. The Slovaks are a very proud bunch and tonight will be the biggest game this small country has ever played.
Up front they have the Marians, Demitra, former NHLers Jozef Stumpel, Ziggy Palffy, Richard Zednik, Marcel Hossa, Lubos Bartecko, Branko Radivojevic and Martin Cibak, as well as Michal Handzus (Kings), Miro Satan (Boston) and Tomas Kopecky (Blackhawks).
Their backend consists of Chara, Visnovsky, Andrej Meszaros (Tampa Bay), Andrej Sekera (Buffalo), Milan Jurcina (Columbus), Ivan Baranka (Rangers 2nd rounder in 2003 played one NHL game) and Martin Strbak (Kings' 9th rounder in 1993, played 49 NHL games).
They seem like a rag-tag bunch made up of NHL stars, former NHLers and current NHL role players, but they play like a team and they won't quit.
Special stats for Slovaks
Jaroslav Halak will be busy. Canada is averaging 43 shots a game, while the Slovaks will test Roberto Luongo as they have fired 32 shots a game.
Canada will have to be disciplined.
The Slovaks have the best PP in the tournament, scoring seven goals in 19 chances good for 36.8%. Canada is 4th on the PP at 27.2%, with six goals in 22 chances.
Slovakia is also first on the PK at 94.5%. They've only allowed one goal on 19 chances, and they have faced the Czechs, Russia and Sweden so far. Canada is 3rd on the PK at 87.5%, having allowed two goals on 16 chances.
Other tidbits
Slovakia has a population of about five million people and is situated in Central Europe. It borders Hungary to the south, Ukraine to the East, Poland to the North and Czech Republic and Austria to the west.
Bratislava is the largest city (429,000) and the capital and they will be hosting the 2011 World Championships. A buddy of mine married a girl from Bratislava and a few buddies of ours went over for the wedding. They swear that Bratislava has the most beautiful women in the world so we are planning a trip for the World Championships next year.
Czech/Slovakia rivalry
Ladislav Smid and Lubomir Visnovsky sit beside each other in the Oiler dressing room and they are constantly exchanging barbs over which country is better. But yesterday Smid admitted that while there is a healthy rivalry between the two, he will be cheering for Slovakia tonight.
"I want to beat them when we (Czech) play them, but once one team is out of the tournament you cheer for the other. It would be great for them if they could upset Canada," said Smid.
It would be an upset, but I don't see it happening. You don't have the angst leading up to tonight like you did against Russia, or on Sunday v. the States (if they can beat Finland), but the Canadians will be ready.
I expect them to dominate down low like they did against Russia, but to this point in the tourney Halak hasn't allowed a weak goal. Canada will win but they probably won't get two freebie goals in the first like they did on Wednesday.
Canada wins 5-2 and then the country gets ready to show the United States that this is still our game, and many of you can call or email the Jim Rome show and tell those Yanks a win in the round robin means nothing if you don't win the GOLD.
Is Canada playing at Canada hockey place?
oh man, I can't wait! I've had 3 pregamers already! It's gonna be a little fuzzy by gametime!
I hope that Vanilli is the DD tonight then.

Pierre Maguire on Shea Weber:
"Weber is Adonis on skates."
I'm pretty sure he meant Atlas (for strength), but maybe it was a freudian thing and he actually meant to call Weber the most attractive man on Earth.

I'm pretty sure he meant Atlas (for strength), but maybe it was a freudian thing and he actually meant to call Weber the most attractive man on Earth.
I'm assuming he just forgot to say "no homo".
See... I said there was reason to fear the Slovaks. Now give me mad props!
Wow. More than a few sphincters tightened at the end of that one. Great game. Think the fridge will need to be seriously stocked before Sunday....
Including Shea Weber's after Pierre Maguire called him an Adonis.
Brastislava ice girls??
Or Fist!!1!1!11!...whichever makes people like me more
Do the Americans beat the Fins?
The Jim Rome show is borderline brutal. We're talking WKRP cheesy.
But Bratislav ice girls? I could get on board with that.
Canada 4-2.
GO CANADA!!! GO FINLAND!!! hehe!
I haven't been to Bratislava but I have been to Prague and I would definitely say that I saw more beautiful chicks there than anywhere else I've been in the World. The best part was that it seemed like every chick was built slim and tall like a model and every single one of them wore high heel pumps. It was awesome to be drinkin brews with my bro in downtown Prague as we watched all these beautiful women walking by shopping and doing whatever else.
We laughed to ourselves as we thought of how some fat north American chicks would bitch about wearing running shoes on the cobblestone streets while these hot assed Euro's were doing it in pumps!
Work it!
The Jim Rome show is borderline brutal. We're talking WKRP cheesy.
But Bratislav ice girls? I could get on board with that.
Canada 4-2.
Romey gets his ass handed to him in this clip. Hahaha!!!!! Pencil neck!
For some reason, I have this fear of playing USA for bronze. If Canada plays anything like they did against Russia, this should not be an issue, but am I the only guy with an ounce of fear v. Slovakia? We'll see how Halak looks. I have more fear than excitement today... the opposite of Wednesday's feelings.
*crosses everything I have two of... EVERYTHING ;-)*
The Jim Rome show is borderline brutal. We're talking WKRP cheesy.

This could be our Sweden vs Belarus (Tommy Salo is never the same) moment if the boys dont take this one seriously.
This could be our Sweden vs Belarus (Tommy Salo is never the same) moment if the boys dont take this one seriously.
The closest to a Tommy Salo is likely going to be Nabokov. Can you imagine the broken bottle in the faces of the Canada SJS line at the hands of Nabokov and Greiss, it'll be gruesome (however Heatley will have deserved it)
Parise just scored. 2-0 over Finland, not even half way through the first.
3-0 Eric Johnson
Kipper going to get pulled?
Kane scores.
4-0 , Kipper pulls himself
Kane x2
5-0, 7 minutes left in first
6-0 seconds after the 5th goal.
6 goals on 11 shots....
6-0 seconds after the 5th goal.
6 goals on 11 shots....
~ I'm sure Kipper can soothe the loss with a nice refreshing DuMaurier. Or two. ~
You're from Calgary. It is embedded in you to worry about choking in a big game. See Kiprusoff in semi to confirm this. Canada will be fine and now that the USA has taken care of their part for a rematch, Canada will undoubtedly do the same.
I hate the US, but this has made me smile. But watching Kippers mug this game......what is the Finnish word for "humbled"?
Now we just need the Finns to get vicious and go Bobby Clarke on these 'merricans
Romey gets his ass handed to him in this clip. Hahaha!!!!! Pencil neck!
Not sure if that was staged or not but I kind of don't think so. Good clip in any case; I don't mind seeing Rome get the worst of an exchange. You mess with the bull, you get the horns, right Jim?
I was going to parody you and say the exact same thing fourteen more times with slightly different wording, just to see if it kept getting funnier, but then I remembered: it doesn't. And you're not worth it, Jim.
@Jason Gregor
Au contraire, my friend. I currently live in Ft. Sask (and have never lived more than half an hour outside of Edmonton). The pressure's now on Canada after this period. I'm by no means saying I think they'll lose. I'm just saying Slovakia in particular, scares me.
Realistically, I think that if these were best-of-sevens, Canada wins every matchup (with USA being the toughest opponent).
Is the finnish verb to humiliate
Now we just need the Finns to get vicious and go Bobby Clarke on these 'merricans
Exactly! Now the Finns need to start playing dirty and take some of these guys out! Okay, not dirty, but let's get physical on them already!!!
The Fort is my old 'hood! Nice!!!
What I find ironic is this US versus Finland apparent blow out SEMI FINAL game happens the same day the IOC is questioning the competitiveness of international female hockey.
The CTV panel is carving up the Finnish coach. It is kind of funny how it is similar to the Russia/Canada situation.
They also mentioned that Kipper might be getting his "just desserts" for being such a d*ck & saying he wanted the #1 job.
@Jason Gregor
I wasn't worried before the Russian game.
~That must be from the part of me that grew up around Edmonton tho, lol~
@Jason Gregor
Just a random question... growing up, did you cheer for (love) the Oil more OR did you cheer against (hate) the Flames more?
I ask this because almost the only time you can really see the 'fan' in you come out is when its Flames/Stamps related. Its fun... and funny.
FTR, I've always hated the Oilers more than I liked the Flames (or any other team).
Love the show...
Cheers, 'RC' Tyler
Hopefully Kipper will turn this Olympic's Tommy Salo and turn into a junk tender from here on out!! I can assure you tht every liquor store in the lower mainland will be sold out of grey goose vodka after the game. That is if he can wait until the final buzzer or not.
February 26 2010, 02:21PM
Rome was saying today on his show that the Candadian Men would rather have a Gold Medal than a Stanley Cup.
A Gold Medal is a pretty huge accomplishment but I still think most guys think of Lord Stanley as the ultimate goal.
February 26 2010, 02:23PM
@Dan the Man
Jim Rome has learned everything he knows about Canadian hockey from Chris Pronger. I'll leave it at that.
Is the finnish verb to humiliate
I love the internets, you can find anything!!
Next Calgary-Edmonton game, thats going on a sign, about 3 rows behind Kipprusoff
Now, Miku Koivu, how bout a crosscheck to Zac Parise's face?
Rome was saying today on his show that the Candadian Men would rather have a Gold Medal than a Stanley Cup.
A Gold Medal is a pretty huge accomplishment but I still think most guys think of Lord Stanley as the ultimate goal.
When you think about it, the Gold medal is logically the bigger accomplishment. In the first place, every year one team in 30 wins the Stanley Cup. On the other hand, the Olympics are only once every four years. Mathematically, even if all players were equal you'd have very few chances to go to the Olympics during your playing career.
Secondly, every player on the team gets a piece of a Stanley Cup victory, regardless of their actual contribution. Rookies, bubble players, aging veterans doesn't matter; they get to 'win' the cup. Conversely, you need to be a superstar just to get named to the Canadian team. Much tougher to even get to the game, and most players would never be good enough to qualify. Even once you qualify, winning is a whole other thing and even those superstars who actually make the team one year might well only ever get one shot at it.
Lots of players might get several chances to win a Stanley Cup, but even great players may only ever get one chance for a Gold. I would think that would make it more special.
February 26 2010, 02:43PM
Jim Rome has learned everything he knows about Canadian hockey from Chris Pronger. I'll leave it at that.
Anyone else remember the Human Rake dropping the fake "Edmonton-fans-destroyed-my-house" bomb on the Rome show a few years ago? Idiot.
Go Canada Go!!!
Olet nöyryytetään maasi Kiprusoff!!!
Erinomainen Olympic suorituskyky Kipper. Olet paras! allekirjoitettu USA jääkiekko
Suomi lopulta voittaa Tim Thomas. Liian vähän liian myöhään.
Now in Slovakian:
Kanada porazím & aby ste plakať!
I'm just saying Slovakia in particular, scares me.
Really? More than the US at the moment?
So is it too hopeful of me to think that Tim Thomas is in net now b/c Ryan Miller got hurt?
~nice of Wilson to give Miller 10 minutes of rest!~
did he get hurt or did they pull him to give Thomas a taste?
(I was at work and didn't catch the game)
He was pulled just to give him ice time. No such luck
He was pulled just to give him ice time. No such luck
Then Thomas let in a goal and the fans heckled him. Bahaha! What jerks.
I'm just saying Slovakia in particular, scares me.
Really? More than the US at the moment?
No, no. In an underdog kind of way. The US & Russia aren't games I get real scared about... I know they can go either way. Slovakia on the other hand, seems an easier opponent, yet they've knocked off Russia AND Sweden - two medal favorites. I'm just saying... lets not look past Slovakia. They're gonna be fired up! GO CANADA!
