Analyzing the play of Mario Hezonja in Game one of the Spanish ACB Playoff Finals. Hezonja exploded for 18 points in 25 minutes coming off the bench for Barcelona, knocking down all five of his first 3-point attempts (of six overall). Real Madrid emerged victorious, but Hezonja surely proved he deserves more minutes in the rest of the series, which will certainty interest NBA teams drafting in the Top-10 of the lottery.

Scouting Report by Matt Kamalsky. Video Analysis by Mike Schmitz
Making his Croatian A1 League debut for KK Dubrovnik shortly after his 14th birthday in 2009 and staking his claim as one of the future stars of the European game at the 2011 Jordan Brand International Game, if it feels as if Mario Hezonja has been on the NBA Draft radar for an eternity, it's because he has. Identified as a potential lottery pick very early in his career, but opting not to enter his name in the draft in 2014, the first year he was eligible to do so, the stars appear to have aligned for the athletic Croatian swingman as he went public with his intention to declare for the 2015 NBA Draft on April 23rd.
Hezonja is one of the most intriguing talents in this draft class, showing an impressive blend of athleticism and shooting ability while carving out a role off the bench for FC Barcelona in the Euroleague and ACB, the top leagues in Europe. Signing a seven year deal with the Spanish powerhouse prior to the 2012-2013 season, Hezonja served as the primary scorer on Barcelona's 2nd team in the LEB Gold during his first year in Spain amid sporadic appearances for the club's 1st team in mop up duty. Averaging only 9.6 minutes per-game playing for Barcelona's senior team a year ago and 15.5 this year, Hezonja's talent has shined brightly at times over each of the last two seasons, as he's exploded for a number of big scoring games while playing an otherwise modest role.

Standing 6'8 with a decent wingspan and a solid frame that could continue to fill out over time, Hezonja has outstanding size for a shooting guard. He's also an effortless athlete who runs the floor exceptionally well, has nice quickness, and can finish plays above the rim, ranking among the most impressive physical specimens we've seen among European prospects in recent memory.
Besides his physical attributes, the most appealing part of Hezonja's game is his offensive skill-set, which has helped him earn minutes, albeit inconsistently, for one of Europe's premier teams. Combining supreme confidence with tremendous fluidity and coordination, Hezonja's offensive game starts with his jump shooting ability both when spotting up and running off of screens within set plays. He shoots the ball with an effortless, high release point that will translate nicely to the NBA three-point line in time.
Connecting on 39.6% (57/144) of his attempts from beyond the international line on the year. including an 8/8 performance against Manresa in the ACB on February 1st, the Croatian swingman is capable of running very hot from the perimeter, but also has the ability to put the ball on the floor and attack off the dribble if the defense closes out too aggressively.
Though 60% of Hezonja's field goal attempts are three-pointers, one of the highest marks of any player in our mock draft regardless of league, and he has scored a fantastic 1.34 points per spot up possession according to Synergy Sports Technology, Hezonja's potential at the NBA level extends well beyond his talents as a set shooter, even if that's an area the team drafting him will hope he can contribute in early on.
A capable ball handler, Hezonja also flashes the ability to create his own shot, notably as the ball handler in the pick and roll. His ability to explode past the defense with his strong first step off the dribble make him a threat to get to the rim, and he has a bit of shake to his floor game as well, showing the ability to use step backs to create space for his jump shots. Making 42% of his pull-up jump shots and finishing at a 62% clip around the rim, Hezonja's scored efficiently in a variety of ways this season.
On top of his overall offensive skill level, Hezonja's athleticism also allows him impact the game in a variety of areas. He's a target to cut back-door for lob passes thanks to his leaping ability, and he runs the wings exceptionally hard in transition. Though he isn't a particularly consistent defender, he can make contributions when he's focused with his terrific quickness and size. He has some truly impressive moments defensively playing scrappy, energetic one-on-one defense, shadowing his man running off of screens, and getting in the passing lanes thanks to his speed and anticipation. Hezonja's combination of athleticism, instincts, and talent allow him to contribute at in a wide variety of ways, which is part of the reason his upside is nothing short of tantalizing in the eyes of NBA decision-makers.
(Video may not load with Internet Explorer. Use Chrome or Firefox)
Despite all his merits as a prospect, it is important to note that Hezonja is not without his flaws, which should come as no surprise considering he's just 20 years old. Playing on a short leash surrounded by talented veterans in Barcelona, the young wing posted his gaudy scoring efficiency numbers in a small role, as he averaged only 6.1 points per game and is still learning how to utilize his tremendous tools consistently.
Scoring in double-figures in 11 games but going scoreless in 10 others and playing sporadic minutes when Barcelona has had a full stable of healthy guards, Hezonja, like any young player competing against competition, has struggled with bouts of ineffectiveness. Hezonja's worst moments this season have come in situations where the intersection of his talent and confidence have led to him settling for difficult shots in the half court and looking to do too much with the ball in his hands in transition and on the pick and rollsomething that is frowned upon far more in Europe from a player his age than it is in the States.
He can take and make difficult, contested shots with deep range, and throws some highlight reel passes, but doesn't always pick and choose his spots as well as one might hope or seem quick to recognize openings for others. He can be turnover prone when he puts the ball on the floor as his handle is a bit rigid, and often tries to get creative instead of drawing contact and forcing whistles when he ventures inside as his extremely low 1.6 free throw attempts per-40 minutes pace adjusted average reflects.
Questions also remain about Hezonja's ability to defend consistently. Those questions don't revolve around his actual ability to defend as much as they're based on his sometimes non-chalant approach on that end of the floor. He tends to run very hot and very cold in terms of his intensity as his worst moments are just as glaring as his best ones. Hezonja could stand to get stronger, but his combination of size and quickness seemingly give him the potential to hold his own if he's committed to being a factor on this end of the floor. The question is, in a long 82-game season, where minutes will be handed to him much more easily than they were in Europe, will he feel the desire to get in a stance and compete at max intensity on every possession?
As we've noted in previous reports one of the more significant ongoing concerns about Hezonja is his demeanor. His body language is poor at times and he seems to get down on his teammates. Though he's become far less demonstrative than he appeared at the junior level, it will be fascinating to watch how his swagger, ego and unlimited self-confidence fit in on whichever team opts to draft him. His mentality could pay huge dividends if he reaches his lofty potential down the road, but what kind of growing pains will he experience early in his NBA career?
As with many elite international prospects competing at the highest levels, there's also a notable economic element to Hezonja's future due to his contract situation. As is often been the case, there's a fair amount of confusion surrounding his situations, but as it stands, the seven year contract he signed three years ago includes a team option to extend his deal for its final four years on May 31st. Barcelona will certainly pick it up and Hezonja doesn't have an option to terminate, meaning he'll have to pay his NBA buyout, which stands at 2 million Euro, before he makes the jump across the Atlantic. Though he may have to take out a loan and pay interest to make that payment up front, this shouldn't have a major impact on his draft stock or his decision to stay in the draft as he's a likely top-10 pick.
At face value, Hezonja looks like a player who should be able to find a way to contribute to some degree early in his NBA career with the potential to grow into a star down the road. Few international players we've ever covered enjoy the same clear-cut NBA upside. The question is just how quickly his flashes of brilliance will become extended stretches of productive play on both ends of the floor and whether his attitude becomes a hurdle between those two points.

Jonathan Givony

-Good athlete. Nice quickness and explosiveness
-Solid shooter with feet set or off the dribble

-Terrific scoring instincts and all-around feel for the game
-Intangibles are questionable. Displays poor body language. Aloof around teammates. Complains constantly to referees, teammates, coaches

-Offensive game very isolation-heavy. Can be a ball-stopper. Overdribbles. Takes bad shots. Freezes out teammates.
-Only plays at one speed. Could still improve on changing speeds, using hesitation moves creating shots in the half-court
Outlook: One of the top talents in European basketball in any age group. The MVP of the U16 European Championship. Averaged 30 points per-40 at the U17 World Championship. Already putting up good numbers in LEB Gold (Spanish second division) on Barcelona's second team, Barcelona II. Signed a seven year contract with Barcelona this past summer, with a two million Euro out clause for the NBA. Only question marks revolve around his attitude and whether that could stop him from achieving his extremely high potential.
Interview from the U17 World Championship:
Mario Hezonja stole the show with breathtaking athleticism and a silky smooth fluidity, elevating repeatedly around the rim for some explosive dunks, and knocking down shots from the perimeter. Many NBA people were calling him the best player at the camp at the ripe age of 16 (born 1995)going up against players two and three years older than him. We had already had a chance to scout Hezonja in person on two opportunities this year in Charlotte at the Jordan Brand Classic and at the Nike International Junior Tournament in Barcelona, and we could only nod our heads in agreement as scouts praised his precocious talent.[Read Full Article]
Coming off a strong performance at the NIJT qualifier in Rome a few months ago (Hezonja helped his team qualify for a trip to the Euroleague Final Four in Barcelona despite being significantly younger than most of his opponents), Mario Hezonja was one of the more intriguing prospects slated to be at this event.
Hezonja did little to dispel the notion that he's one of the top young prospects in European basketball over the course of the week, although his performance in the game was a bit uneven he scored 15 points and dished four assists, but shot just 6-19 from the field and turned the ball over eight times.
The intrigue around Hezonja begins with his excellent physical attributes. He's a true wing player with terrific size (6-6), a very nice frame and outstanding athleticism. He reeled off a couple of impressive dunks over the course of the week and showed the quickness and fluidity needed to create his own shot effectively.
Hezonja has a nice stroke from beyond the arc, showing the ability to knock down 3-pointers with his feet set or off the dribble. He can also beat his man off the bounce, getting low to the ground and even mixing in some nice spin moves at times.
His ball-handling skills are still a work in progress, though, particularly his ability to change speed and direction. His decision making ability hasn't quite caught up to his talent level, as evidenced by his poor shot selection and struggles with turnovers in Charlotte.
On the defensive end, Hezonja was not particularly impressive, showing average length and putting in little effort.
Hezonja also showed a bit of cockiness, which is a bit concerning considering his age. He looked aloof and displayed poor body language at times. Hopefully this is just a sign of immaturity and not an indication that his early success is going to his head.
In terms of physical attributes and pure talent, there's no question that Hezonja is well ahead of most players in the world at his age. If he continues to work on his game and stays humble, his future is obviously very bright.

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – There's a tree crying out for a treehouse, and it shall be done.
"It's just perfect, the way the limbs are," said Bruce Ridgway, 64.
More than five decades ago, Ridgway built a treehouse with his friends. It was an impressive structure, four stories tall with its own fireplace. Perhaps the neighborhood kids overreached on that last detail.
"Fire burned through the hearth and caught the sap of the tree," Ridgway said. "It went up like a grenade and blew us out of the tree. I was like a pinball, hitting every limb on the way down, about 40 feet."
The new treehouse won't be nearly as elaborate as that, and his grandsons, Jacob, 3, and Caleb, 2, won't need a fireplace.
The project is in its initial stages, and the grandchildren are happy, especially after helping to hammer the treehouse ladder together.
"They can see it, what it's going to be," Ridgway said. "They've hugged that tree. It's really cute."
Ridgway is building the treehouse for them. He's also building it for himself, but it's not a bid to recapture lost youth.
The Tupelo home he shares with his wife, Marcy, is a testament to Ridgway's passion for working with his hands. He did the trim and wainscoting inside. He built the mantle piece. He changed the columns on the front porch and put in French doors.
A visitor can look around anywhere and spot a project, such as the cellarette he built after a trip to Natchez.
"Back in the plantation era, you'd ride a ways to see your neighbors," he said. "The trip took eight to 10 hours. It was rude to drink their whiskey. You brought your own. I saw one of these in Natchez and said, 'I can make that.'"
It has compartments for Scotch, Cognac, Irish whiskey and whiskey, as well as separate areas for glasses. Velvet lines the inside of the cellarette's lid, and there's a locking mechanism.
"That was a lot of fun to do, in-laying the lock," he said.
Work the plan
Ridgway is a planner by nature, and that suits his professional life. He's vice president of facilities management and construction at North Mississippi Medical Center.
It's his job to project the hospital's needs 50 to 100 years into the future.
"We don't want to design something for the next generation," he said. "We want to design something for the generation that will replace the next generation."
Even in his hobby, Ridgway builds things with an eye to the future. A swing he built when his kids were young has come back into service for his grandchildren.
No doubt, the cradle he built for the grandkids will last for generations. And there's a good chance the treehouse, when it's finished, will serve kids' imaginations long after Jacob and Caleb have outgrown it.
"This has been a lifelong hobby. My dad didn't know the difference between a hammer and a screwdriver. My eighth-grade shop teacher, he opened up a world to me," Ridgway said. "I love being able to make something with my hands."
While in bed at night, Ridgway thinks over his plans. Later, he puts his ideas on paper, but every project changes as it goes from the planning stage to the real world.
"The fun part is designing it, thinking it out, crafting it," he said. "It's always disappointing when it's all finished."
The disappointment doesn't last because another project is waiting.
For a time, he became focused on fence gates in his backyard. His goal: to elevate the humble fence gate. By all accounts, he succeeded.
"I can't count the number of fences I've built for people, and gates are my specialty," he said. "My gate is a good bit different than what you can buy in a store. When it closes, it sounds like you're closing your closet door."
One at a time
A sign over his shop says, 'Grandpa's Workshop: Broken Toys Fixed Here." It's a relatively small, organized room with a place for every tool. When he's working, he backs the cars out of the garage to get more space to maneuver.
There are no unfinished projects sitting around and waiting for inspiration to hit again.
"I do one project at a time," he said. "I'm not going to have two. It will consume me until it's finished."
He spent the better part of one summer building a garden shed that comes complete with a barrel to collect rainwater.
"Our garden house I built out there, it will be standing if a tornado hits," he said. "The house probably won't."
"That's where I'm going to go if we have a tornado," Marcy Ridgway said.
Don't worry about her. She was joking. "Yeah, I'm going to be in there with the pitchfork and everything else during a tornado," she said.
Both Ridgways keep busy. She's made vintage flags, and has sewn dresses for Tupelo High School Madrigals. She made ceramic markers that label the Cognac and other bottles in her husband's cellarette.
She's planted untold thousands of flowers, and worked with her husband for several summers in a row to dredge out the now pleasant pond that borders their home.
"We're exhausted at the end of the day on the weekends," Ridgway said.
"We work really hard, then we collapse in one of our outdoor rooms," she said.
"We've got five outdoor rooms," Ridgway said. "That's what we call them."
They are spaces around the property, where the pair relax after a hard day of fun and home improvement.
One such room surrounds the garden house, and another is near the back of the property with plenty of shade.
Maybe the treehouse will become a sixth outdoor room. Or maybe the grandchildren will be left to use it as they see fit, as long as they don't light any fires up there.
The kids will have their fun when the treehouse is complete, but they don't have to wait. They've picked up some of their PePaw's enthusiasm for doing a job, not just finishing it.
"The ladder is put together with dowels. Those little guys had their hammers and they were pounding away," Ridgway said, pausing to laugh at the memory. "We're having a good time."

Every year Ron Pyle of Castle Dale enjoys decorating his yard, including his 1923 Dodge Brothers truck. He uses Disney characters and animals to decorate the truck.
On Dec. 11, he put Yosemite Sam in the driver's seat of the old truck and had Bugs Bunny, Garfield and other animals riding inside.
On Dec. 12, Pyle went out to put more holiday decorations out when he realized the items he had put out in the truck were missing.
The missing items include: a three foot tall Yosemite Sam, a four foot tall Bugs Bunny, a four foot tall Garfield, a four foot tall purple gorilla, a three foot long skunk, a four and a half foot large tiger and a very large Saint Bernard dog.
Pyle is very disappointed that a few people can ruin the pleasures of so many adults and children that come by his house to see his decorations.
Pyle stated "It is hard to put a price on irreplacable and sentimental items."
He would be extremely grateful to have the items returned.

Drill for American oil now, as Chuck Norris (of 'Walker, Texas Ranger' fame) is demanding, and leave the oil companies alone, is the answer to our oil and gas crisis and we can do it only if we get the government off the backs of the big, and especially the small, oil companies and let them drill where they want.
Private enterprise in the oil industry is the answer and it always has been. Government restrictions stopping oil drilling and production have caused the present gas crisis, not the oil companies. We have hundreds of years supply of American oil and gas in our country and we should develop it now. Our oil companies are not allowed to drill off our coasts but Communist China and Cuba reportedly are allowed to drill off our shores in the Gulf of Mexico and we shouldn't allow it.
This is critical to our everyday life and national security. We should contact our congressmen and ask them to immediately restore oil production now.

As a result of Dodd-Frank, and other related regulatory initiatives and best practices, mortgage servicers are increasingly instituting policies and procedures that ensure mortgage loan document and data is complete and always available.
Several industry solution providers have led the pack in advancing the quality and availability of mortgage data and analytics, as well as the opportunity to source and retrieve mortgage documents from any jurisdiction. With the goal of creating true end-to-end transparency—critical to compliance with Dodd-Frank—they offer the additional benefit of making servicers' workflow more flexible, cost effective and better prepared to address market dynamics.
Critical to finding the right solution is underlying expertise and technology (such as secure, Web-based document platforms), integration, imaging and workflow mapping.
These elements will all make a servicing operation more efficient and profitable, while demonstrating the commitment to creating the servicing center of excellence the CFPB and other regulatory bodies are seeking.
For example, with the right solution partner, a mortgage servicer can:
- Quickly receive recording reference data (dates, instrument numbers, recording book), beneficiary, assignments and legal descriptions.
- Access millions of document images in repositories or county jurisdictions.
- Obtain ownership, mortgage, assignment, parcel, sales value, property lien position and flood zone intelligence quickly and easily.
Also, the right solution can act as an electronic bridge between submitters of real estate documents and county offices, enabling documents to be prepared, submitted, recorded/rejected, indexed and returned with speed and efficiency.
The bottom line is that it's critical to demonstrate that everything was done correctly when originating or servicing mortgage loans. When documentation is not readily available, disorganized files can lead to audit fines, lost productivity and costly buybacks.
Quick response to audit requests and documented chain-of-custody demonstrate strong internal and external policy adherence.
And with Dodd-Frank, if servicers don't respond quickly to an audit request with clean, well-organized files, and a workflow that demonstrates best practices, they're likely to face even more scrutiny.
Michelle Rowley is mortgage servicing advisor for CT Lien Solutions, a lien search, recording services and life of loan service provider under Wolters Kluwer Corporate Legal Services.

GDB 19: A ship on fire
November 18 2008 08:17AM
While most of his teammates failed to break a sweat, Saint Fernando di Pisani found a way to break his ankle against Detroit last night en route to a 4–0 loss.
This injury may be replicated in the other bones of other Oilers by a hilariously irate Coach MacTavish—who is throwing out sound bites though his very career depends on it.
My, these are heady times to be a fan of the Mighty Oil, aren't they? The much-heralded New Era has gotten off to a bit of a rocky start wouldn't you say?
Nothing that a match against the Squadron from Columbus can't fix, is it? For you see the... Uh...
What I hate is all these ex oilers who play like men possessed when they get a chance to flip the proverbial bird to their old team.
November 18 2008, 08:31AM
It was mentioned yesterday but this team is a disaster from top to bottom. Yeah they have a few wins but have tehy eer looked dominating at any point this season? Watching them get thouroughly schooled in every aspect of the game of hockey by an infinitely better squadron in Detroit really hurt my eyes and put a lot of things in perspective. Really, something has to change now. I mean right now. I think it will be a relief for Fernando to get to sit out for a month or so. It probably hurts more having to play on this team righ now. Dammit.
Mactavish is a good coach, great person. In seven years with the oil , he's made the playoffs a few times. Had one deep run. Never finished with more than 41 wins. The team has arguably more talent now than ever during his tenure, yet they're still headed for the same round about 40 win season........is it time we find someone else to lead these boys?
The nepotism in Edm sucks. But, Katz is a shrewd businessman who wants to succeed and WILL make changes if they are needed (which most of us agree they are).
November 18 2008, 08:44AM
I would hate to see MacT getting fired. I really think he is a good coach but again, watching Detroit systematically pick the Oilers apart last night really showed me that this team needs a different direction. MacTavish's methods just don't seem to be working for this crew.
It's the coaches job to prepare the players for each game. I have yet to see the Oilers dominate a game, let alone play a whole 60 minutes. The players are obviously either a) not being motivated or b) not listening to the coach.
Situation a) get rid of the coach
Situation b) get rid of all the players or get rid of the coach.
Sure MacT did some good things here, had a few good sound bites, but his time has come and gone.
So if we were to assume he was to get fired, who do you replace him with?
Do you go with some retread sitting on the scrap heap or do you bring in a brand new guy with no experience?
Either way I am not sure I see the immediate forward progress.
November 18 2008, 09:35AM
I know Marc Crawford is not a popular choice, but he does have a good record in Colorado and Vancouver with similar types of teams. I would say that you can't count L.A. against him too much since the team was mismanaged by the GM and was barely at the cap floor. It still needs to be taken into account, but I think less so than some would say.
Or, is there a promising coach in the CHL that would be worthwhile to bring up? Or do we not want to put a rookie coach in a tough spot?
Boy am i glad i didnt sign that deal with the Oilers!!!
Signed: Hossa sitting in the Detroit locker room after the game last night.
God I hate Crawford, he is a classless ass.
That said, he is probably the only guy out there on the scrap heap that kind of fits the current need of this team.
He is a master at pushing buttons and he does have a decent track record in the standings.
Add in a connection with Tambellini and who knows...
I would love to see the Oilers go after a real up and comer from the AHL ranks but that doesn't really fit in the department of getting immediate results. That kind of hiring is more suited for the off season.
November 18 2008, 09:54AM
What about the fonz(John Torteralla)? he has won a cup recently, he knows how to deal with skilled guys. Maybe he is one hard smack against the jukebox away from being able to have the team playing the ecclectic sounds of buddy holly or the big bopper once again. Just a thought?
Well, I like MacT, but if a change is needed, maybe a figure such as Teddy Nolan or Tortarella can make them sweat, and make Penner less chubby!
November 18 2008, 09:59AM
Somebody mentioned Pat Burns. I don't know... Somebody that won't be afraid to kick some ass.
November 18 2008, 10:40AM
I like the idea of Torts coming into to put the fear of God into this team. That being said he was run out of town by the players in Tampa going up to management.
Marc Crawford may be a good choice as well. I'm really not sure, what I am sure of is that there needs to be a different direction in Oil Country.
November 18 2008, 10:41AM
I'm glad somebody else mentioned Ted Nolan. Just have a good feeling there.
The problem with Torterella is that his record isn't really that good. Not better than MacT's anyways.
If MacT isn't going to get credit for his one playoff run then I don't think Torterella deserves to either.
In the end it was a difference of one win and that is despite the two teams being very uncomparable in terms of the talent each guy had to work with.
November 18 2008, 11:12AM
McCormick on Sportsnet makes a good point today, saying that before the hammer would come down on MacT the Oilers will exhaust a few other options first.
He specifically points out that the OIlers will try a trade first to shake up the team, before letting their coach of 7 1/2 years go.
I would like that approach. YOu bring in a big gun who's new and eager to prove himself on a new team, that challenges the top six guys for ice time, brings creativity and some spark. That could be what we need to turn this around. Easier said then done, but with MacT's history here in EDM he's going to get the benefit of the doubt, far longer than your typical NHL head coach.
November 18 2008, 11:14AM
Here is the link to the McCormick blog on sportsnet
November 18 2008, 11:21AM
Thanks for the link, Fiveandagame. McCormick has the most rational take I've seen in the last little while.
If MacTavish is fired this season, I'd hope for a guy like Ted Nolan or Pat Burns.
Mike Sullivan (70-56-15 NHL record) is another guy who deserves a second chance somewhere; it isn't his fault that Joe Thornton got traded.
November 18 2008, 11:33AM
There is a reason why Nolan was run out of town on both teams he coached. I don't know what it was but I'm pretty sue i wouldn't want it to happen here.
I would vote for Pat Burns if he is healthy. I too have been defending Mac T. but now I really am starting to wonder. Is there something seriously wrong in the room? We all seem to think this team has more talent than it shows. When the Oilers had too many marginal players, it was easy to excuse the coach. Now it would appear that the Oilers have some depth but there truly is something missing. I would call it heart or pride.
Then again, I just checked the standing, the Oil have the seventh best road record in the conference which still puts them in the playoffs once they get a string of home games. So is the problem the team or is it our expectations?
November 18 2008, 11:45AM
I love that no matter what The Big Dude writes about, no one ever agrees with him in the comments and they just crap all over him. Mind you most of the time it's all Canuck and Leaf fans, but still.
Decent read. I agree with a few of his points, but I still think that getting rid of MacT is our most viable option. About the trade thing; picking up Cole, Vishnovski, Souray, those weren't big enough trades/signings? I know they aren't Marian Hossa or Sundin or someone but I'd think that they are big enough impact players, especially all three put together, to spark the team in a way that people are talking about.
November 18 2008, 11:52AM
The terrible thing is, is that the record is not indicative to how the Oilers have been playing. Realistically we should probably be 5-10-2 or something around there. There just happened to be a few nights where the ice seemed to be tilted our way and all the bounces found their way into the net, or into our goalie. And I know it's hard to play this many games on the road in a row, but even the few games we have played at home we've looked bad. Boston, Toronto, Colorado, those are all games that should have been won, but once again there was no jump, or urgency, or anything. Came out flying in the first period and then just coasted around the rink for the other two. I'm all for the Oilers trying to sort a few things out before giving MacT the axe, but something needs to happen fast, otherwise this season might be too far gone.
November 18 2008, 11:53AM
"About the trade thing; picking up Cole, Vishnovski, Souray, those weren't big enough trades/signings?"
JS- I think those were big, great signings on behalf of the Oilers, but all of them happened in the off season. A trade now would be to shake up the room in the middle of the season.
I like Nolan as an option, but I think an even better option is Kevin Constantine. I think he is ready to get back behind the bench at the NHL level and he has plenty of experience with young players. How about Dale Hunter? He has done an excellent job with the Knights and he coached a few kids in our system.
Torterella had more skill in Tampa than the current Oiler roster has now and he consistantly struggled to get them to perform other than 1 cup run.
Is Burns ready to step back behind the bench (can his health withstand the stress)? If he is healthy enough, be careful what you wish for asking for him - he is a defense first coach and watching the Oilers play the trap could be painful.
Crawford has left a bad taste in my mouth, although I agree he would know how to handle this group of misfits.
November 18 2008, 11:55AM
Pat Burns could use another shot at the NHL. The only reason he left the game was because he got sick. He's healthy now, he should have a team to coach, unless the cancer took the fight out of him.
November 18 2008, 12:13PM
Katz a shrewd businessman ????
If it wasn't for his father Barry and loans from Pharmaceutical companies McKesson - he would still be a lawyer asking for help to merge to corporations (really) - apparently he was giving too much money away to the U of A and had to borrow $100 million from CIT group - where did the other $100MM come from ??? - Rexall Corp - shareholders loan???? Listen PDAN - the oilers are at the cap - and not one player fears MACT and LOWE is getting soft pandering to Batman - too many 3,4 million dollar players - Cole, Penner, Horcoff, Pisani(shelf), players are passngers with no production and management has married itself to bad signings, limited roster spots (3 goalies), and boys on the bus management - looks like a new building is starting to crumble with the economy and tight credit - Batman does not have the cake - only cash flow from the McKesson Group - in the end how much is this former lawyer really worth and what does he owe to who ?????
November 18 2008, 12:17PM
Jeanshorts and I were just talking and he brought up a good point. Everyone is saying be patient with MacT, be patient. Have all these people just jumped on the Oilers bangwagon as of the cup run or do they not know that he's been the coach for a long time?
It's like I'm taking crazy pills when people still give him the benefit of the doubt because they have the home town blinders on. Yes he was an Oiler. Yes he was the last player without a helmet, but enough is enough.
I'm tired of having a good team on paper and making a push for the 8th playoff spot. Any other team in the league would have made a change.
I challenge anyone out there to prove me wrong. There's 2 coaches that have been with their team longer that MacT and you won't find the answer there.
November 18 2008, 12:31PM
Any other team in the league would have made a change.
Well, if we're going on a league-wide basis, would you agree that Dallas, Philadelphia, and Ottawa have more reasons to fire their coach than Edmonton?
November 18 2008, 12:37PM
Ottawa- definitely not. They have been through like 60 coaches in the last 3 season, and Bryan Murray always seems to find a way to put himself behind the bench half way through the season. They haven't really given anyone a fair chance. MacT on the other hand is on his 8th chance.
And I think Dallas and Philly are in the same boat as we are. Lots of talent and potential, but for whatever reason just cannot seem to get it together. I can't really comment on anything more than that because I don't follow those teams very closely.
Penner is fat. Penner is lazy. Penner is also a huge man with awesome hands. Penner is also smart. You really cannot give 100 percent every game. That is stupid sports talk. It's a long season and if you want players to remain healthy and have the ability to ramp it up in the playoffs there has to be built in room to coast a bit. A team is supposed to be manufactured in such a way that it can win games even with a few passengers. It's called depth. The Oiler management claims we have depth but we don't. Not really. Maybe we should run players like Penner, Cole, And Nillson out of Town to make room for the Reasoner's of the world. Then we can pretend that the Oilers are still a small market underdog and our coach is getting the very best out of marginal players... Oh yeah... and everyone is giving 100 percent every night! Personally I'll take a healthy big body that can pot 20 goals while still in second gear as opposed to Liam Reddox. Note to MacT: Spend your time developing a more effective powerplay instead of ripping your players. Penner doesn't have Moreau's fire...get over it. Moreau doesn't have Penners hands...Why not rip him Too?
November 18 2008, 12:54PM
JW, the teams that you've picked to compare the Oilers to in this sense aren't even close. Let's look at the teams you've picked that should have more reason to fire the coach.
Ottawa - Fired their coach last year. Hartsburg is in his first year as the head coach of that team. Again not the 8th.
Phili - John Steven's is in his third year as the coach. They missed the playoffs in his first year but made it back in last year. This year they've stumbled and I imagine missing 2 of 3 will not stand well for Stevens.
Dallas - Dave Tippet is in his 6th season as the coach and the Stars have only missed the playoffs once.
All these coaches have had less time with their teams that MacT.
November 18 2008, 12:54PM
MacT on the other hand is on his 8th chance.
I've been through this before, but looking at MacT's record, has he really been the problem, or has the problem been that his team stinks?
2007-08 - Did anyone really expect this group to be playoff worthy? 30 games of Jarret Stoll as a first-line centre? 8 rookies with 65 or more games? This team overachieved by a massive margin, and to dump on MacT because they weren't in the playoffs is asinine.
2006-07 - Defensemen who managed 50 games: Jason Smith, Steve Staios, M-A Bergeron, Matt Greene, Ladislav Smid. I see two second-pairing defenders and a bunch of guys who shouldn't be played higher than #6 on the depth chart. Throw in the Ryan Smyth trade and Joffrey Lupul being worthless, and this is a lottery team. But then, that's what happens when a franchise defenseman is traded for futures.
2005-06 - Stanley Cup Finals, despite relying on a trio of sieves for 80% of the season and a 36-year old backup the rest of the way.
2003-04 - The halcyon days when Tommy Salo was brutal, the team's first line centre was Ryan Smyth, and the defense was lead in scoring by Steve Staios.
2002-03 - First-line centre: Mike Comrie (-18 rating, incidentally). The defense was led by Janne Niinimaa's 28 points, and of the three leading scorers, one was injured, one was traded, and the other was Todd Marchant.
2001-02 - Rookie forward Mike Comrie debuts as the first line centre. The leading second-line scorer is Jochen Hecht (40 points).
2000-01 - Decent team with youth and no backup goaltender.
So, open question: was the problem here the GM or the coach? I'll give you a hint - I think it's the guy who has already been removed from his position.
November 18 2008, 12:56PM
All these coaches have had less time with their teams that MacT.
All of those coaches have better rosters to work with, but somehow none are ahead of the Oilers in the standings.
Longevity isn't a negative, btw; rather the opposite.
Judging a coach without looking at the pieces he's been working with only gives half the story.
November 18 2008, 12:58PM
"Moreau doesn't have Penners hands…Why not rip him Too?"
That was the one thing I found really funny. Sure Penner has been playing like ass, and it looks like this was MacT using his final straw or something to get him motivated. But there is a handful of other players who have been just as terrible as Penner, and those guys haven't even been sat yet.
Pouliot has been non existent since the first 4 or 5 games. Gagner has been floating around, giving away pucks, looking absolutely lackluster out there. And yeah I'll agree he's playing a better defensive game than last year, but he's not there to be a grinding third liner. He's there to make ridiculous passes and free up room for the other two guys on the ice with him. But so far, he's done absolutely none of that. Staios looked like a 55 year old beer leaguer out there until 4 or 5 games ago. Etc, etc.
Like I said, it was clearly a motivational technique to try and spark Penner, but by singling him out so harshly like that, to me, made MacT look like someone frusturated and desperate to take the heat off himself.
November 18 2008, 01:01PM
JW, but why was Lupul worthless here yet he scored in Anaheim, again last year in Phili with 20 in 56 games, and he already has 7 this year which would lead our team.
November 18 2008, 01:06PM
JW, so what is the excuse this year? The road games? The 3 goalies that never know when they're going to play? Or proven a proven point getter like Cole that for the first time in the past 4 years has not produced?
I don't understand the love for MacTavish over and over. This year with a better team than they've had in a long time, they can't score, they can't play 60 minutes, penalty kill sucks, powerplay sucks, "starting" goalie has no confidence and has not played in almost 2 weeks.
Last night they looked about as disinterested as I've ever seen the Oilers play.
Who's is supposed to handle those jobs?
I also believe continuity is important. When a team changes management or coaching like underwear there can be no progress in the organization. However, when there is little or no progress anyway, it is prudent to consider a change. After eight years there has been an abundance of continuity...but little progress.
So if it's not the coach, why do skilled players come here and have horrible years? The player then gets traded and the player suddenly return to their true potential? The list of these guys is endless and it's not the GMs fault he couldn't build a system or motivate them to play with some emotion.
We aren't asking to fire MacT because of where the Oilers are in the standings. It has nothing to do with the teams record - it has to do with how the team is responding on the ice. If the players aren't willing to put out any effort, regardless of the consequence of sitting in the pressbox, something has to give. IF MacT is doing his job, everything he says and does is falling on deaf ears. Again, the options are trade 75% of the players or fire the coach. Trades are few and far between in the salary cap world, so the axe starts swinging at MacT.
Katz said, "Let's have some fun this year."
Is anyone here having fun yet?
(Flames fans need not reply)
November 18 2008, 01:13PM
I'll agree that the management, at times, has been marginal at best. And there is still holes that need to be filled. But when the system hasn't worked, season after season, with a revolving door of different players, when does the accountability fall on the coach? How many more players do we need to shuttle in and out before MacT can find a group that can be successful for at least 2 seasons under him? How many times can do we have to finish between 11th and 8th place with a new look team every year?
I think myself, and most of the others that want to see a change are just jaded that year after year the team hasn't been bad enough to get a franchise draft pick, but haven't been good enough to consistently make the playoffs, let alone finish better than 8th.
It's time to try something new. What's the worst that can happen? We don't make the playoffs? We have a losing record? It's not like we haven't ever had to deal with that before.
Wow - quite the rant Deep Oil...who cares who DK owes money to. The guy is a billionaire if he doesn't want to tie up liquidity why shouldn't he borrow money from a lender to cover the 1/2 the price of buying the team?
I will agree with you that the team has been built around too many players that get paid the same amount of money & do the same thing. You look at last year when the Springfield Falcons were playing the last 20 games in Oiler silks, I think that is what the coach & us fans want out of this team. Hard work leads to opportunities.
The team will get blown up before MacT goes, as much as I think that it would be easier to get a new coach. Chances are better that MacT gets a promotion & the whole coaching staff takes another step up the corporate ladder.
November 18 2008, 01:27PM
JW, but why was Lupul worthless here yet he scored in Anaheim, again last year in Phili with 20 in 56 games, and he already has 7 this year which would lead our team.
7 goals and 1 assist, so let's look at the whole story there. Was it the Edmonton hometown fish-bowl? Was it the new contract? I don't think much of Lupul anyway, but it could be a number of things.
JW, so what is the excuse this year? The road games?
Yes, at this point. If this record continues when the Oilers start playing more at home, some big changes will need to be made. Until that happens, it's too early.
So if it's not the coach, why do skilled players come here and have horrible years?
Hit me with that list, because the only big name I see on it is Joffrey Lupul. Maybe that's my memory, but if it is, please fill me in.
Other than Garon, Cole , and maybe a few others...
The entire roster is under contract long term. The decisions have been made; the contracts signed. If MacT cannot win with this roster then it is time to bring in someone else. Does anyone really want Tambo to blow this team up?
Garon, Cole, etc as they relate to contracts, not performance.
How about some of our own talent? Cleary and Chimera can be mentioned. What about Conklin? MacT did everything in his power to destroy his confidence. He then went on with Pittsburgh where he and Malkin single handedly save the Penguins season and now he is getting starts in Detroit and happened to get a shut out against us. Where is Schremp? MacT doesn't like him so he let's him fade away in the minors to prove a point?
JW - who is to blame for the players not being motivated and not wanting to play 60 minutes? The team has looked horrible (win or lose.) If not the coach then who??? The PP and PK sucks - who's fault is that? These are the coach's responsibilities and they are not being looked after. It's not 1 or 2 guys - it's the WHOLE TEAM. That screams that the players have tuned MacT out and have no respect for him.
November 18 2008, 02:00PM
That's your list, Gord? Seriously? Cleary, Chimera, Conklin and Schremp?
Dan Cleary - Maybe Cleary's decade as an underachiever was the fault of Craig MacTavish. Of course, it could be whoever was coaching Belleville (after peaking in 95-96, Cleary declined the rest of the way as a junior). It could be the coaches in Portland and Chicago, who dealt with him first. It could also be the coaching staff in Phoenix. Or, it could be that Cleary had some personal issues that required age and maturity, and that being a supporting player on an incredibly talented Red Wings squad was an easy place to work his way back into the game. Either way, the two-time 40-point scorer isn't exactly a top talent.
Jason Chimera - A late round draft pick, Chimera overcame long odds to develop into a good NHL player. He had a bad season with the Oilers pre-lockout, and has since emerged as a good player in Columbus, where he's been coached by renowned motivational experts like Gerard Gallant and Doug MacLean. Still, he's now a renowned 3-time 30-point scorer.
Ty Conklin - Undrafted goaltender Ty Conklin emerged prelockout as a decent player under Craig MacTavish. After a lockout season where he played just 11 games, he was injured in TC and had a miserable year as part of a three-headed goalie tandem. Despite this, MacTavish used him as a backup in the Stanley Cup Finals, destroying his confidence for years. He had a bad year in Columbus and Buffalo (3.30 GAA, .878 SV%, and 3.43 GAA, .892 SV%, respectively) before emerging as a saviour for Pittsburgh, despite coach Therrien's open preference for Dany Sabourin out of training camp.
Rob Schremp - Has played three games for MacTavish. For the record, the GM decides who gets called up, not the coach.
Good grief - I could make a better list than that Gord. Try again.
November 18 2008, 02:00PM
The PP and PK sucks
The PP is average and the PK has never been this bad in 8 years under the same coach.
November 18 2008, 02:10PM
JW, you have your shields up here and I like it. Good debate going on.
I want to ask you why you think Erik Cole is on pace for his worst points total ever. Even lower than 2002 when he only played 53 games or even his rookie season.
Your play.
November 18 2008, 02:19PM
...who knows...perhaps, 10 games from now the wheels of the Fire MacT Bandwagon (tm) will have fallen off, as the team is in the midst of seven game winning streak, vaulting them into 1st spot in the NW. At that point...all this won't seem like such a massively huge deal. Winning has a way of changing minds and silencing the critics.
I just think more time needs to be given to sort out some obvious issues the team is having. With so many new faces, changing rolls and softmores sorting out their games, it's not hard to imagine why the team is where they're at. I say, give them some more time to gel.

To Daniel Barnett, the rampant presence of smoldering cigarette butts on Israel's street and beach-sides is an instant reminder of the ruin Israel's residents are causing on a daily basis to the country's flora and fauna.
"The one that really gets me personally is cigarette butts," Barnett told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday. "They are really destructive in nature. They get into the [Mediterranean] and fish eat them. But at the same time, going on a trail in the Judean Desert and seeing a Bamba bag and broken glass bottles is equally frustrating."
In response, together with some of his close friends all in the country on Masa Israel Government Fellowships, Barnett has launched Israel's first annual "Clean the Land Day," which will occur throughout the day on Friday, in spots all over the country. Barnett, a 26-year-old from Johannesburg, is joined by Max Friedenberg, 23 from Illinois; Sam Silverlieb, 26 from New Jersey; and Joel Wanger, 24 from Maryland.
The foursome decided to call upon all Israelis, but Masa fellows and alumni in particular, "to take to the streets, beaches and parks" on Friday "any time of the day, with your community, wherever you choose," according to the project.

Canadian teams get their feet wet on 2011 beach volleyball tour
BRASILIA –Canada's three teams at the opening stop on the $190,000 FIVB World Tour in beach volleyball didn't get past the qualifying round on Tuesday.
In men's competition, Maverick Hatch of Comox, B.C., (in red in photo)and Sam Schachter of Toronto, in their World Tour debut together, opened Tuesday's qualifying round defeating Daniel Hupfer and Helmut Moser of Austria 21-13, 21-13. But they were eliminated in the second round falling to Stefan Gunnarsson and Hannes Brinkborg of Sweden 21-19, 21-13.
Josh Binstock and Richard Van Huizen, both of Toronto, had a first round bye then lost to Marco Grimalt and Esteban Grimalt of Chile 21-18, 21-18.
In women's qualifying, Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Kacie MacTavish of Sharon, Ont., lost their opening match in qualifying to Priscilla Lese Lima and Angela Vieira of Brazil 21-12, 21-19.
''It wasn't easy,'' Rodrigue said. ''The Brazilians are very strong. But this was only our second tournament together and it was encouraging to see that we could keep pace with them.''
The second stop on the circuit for the women is next week in Sanya, China while the men and women compete together again the following week in Shanghai.

"this link have nothing to do with me all the credit to the blog holder"
That guy picked some horrible colors to show that armor in.
great link, thanks for sharing!
God... I'd kill to have some of the leather armor looks for my warrior! How much money will it take for that to happen...?!
I love playing my Asura, but my god most of the armors are horrible on them.
Very nice link.
Man, it's gunna be really tough figuring out my first character for this game. So many options. I have a feeling I'm going to be mixing a lot of different armor types to get a look I like. May even throw in some regular armor pieces into the mix.
I'm definitely going to have an asuran engineer. I just need to figure out where I can get a decent helmet. Hopefully one that looks fairly engineer-like.
I was worried that the racials might force me to change up my first three profession/race combos, but I like the way they lined up.
1. Human Elementalist (Light)
2. Norn Ranger (Medium)
3. Sylvari Warrior (Heavy)
I can imagine that the racial armors will help me decide the race/profession combos for the remaining alts, which is a good thing.

Nice models.
Hey I was wondering, since gear is just cosmetic, than why do we need transmute stones to wear whatever we want?
Gear ISN'T just cosmetic. It does have stats. However, there is a cap on the level of stats, so for example, one sword might have +50 to power and another might have +50 to precision. Same stat amount, different allocation.
So if you have created a build that relies heavily on crit, have a weapon with a ton of it, but find a weapon skin that you really love, you have the option of trasmuting one weapon in to the other.
"Loading screens" are not "instances".
Your personal efforts to troll any game will not, in fact, impact the success or failure of said game.
Horrible colors. So you hate blue, purple, red, green, and every color of the rainbow? Jeez, some people are never pleased.
On topic. Awesome pictures, I spent a while checking them out myself with the new "preview" feature in game. A lot of cool stuff to look forward to.
Nice link! This last beta weekend I played Thief in structured/tournament PvP and it's good to know that you can get these gear sets by playing PvP. I had the Orrian chest and gloves and it looked amazing, didn't see any other Thieves running around that looked as scary as me
Hey OP, thanks for linking that post I made!
Yes the colors are not the most ideal but I couldn't find any good combos with the starter dyes so I said screw it and just used the default coloring they picked at random during character creation.
Once the game launches though, I will put up high res screenshots with better dye combinations, promise!

JACKSON (Mississippi News Now) - When Becky Macon's sister, Lenora Edhegard was murdered inside her home last fall, little did she know at the time, the murderer lived right next door.
"He had been there two or three months and didn't present any kind of threat," said Macon.
The man who has now confessed to the crime is [name withheld], a convicted sex offender, who, by law, was registered at an address in Hinds County. The problem is, he was living next door to Edhegard in Rankin County.
"What this brought to light was that there are major problems with the enforcement of our sex offender registry and with our notification system," said Senator Will Longwitz, a republican from Madison.
Longwitz is now behind a piece of legislation to make some changes. Known as Lenora's Law, the bill went before and passed through a senate committee Tuesday morning. If it becomes law, any sex offender who is convicted of not complying with the state's sex offender registry law, will be tracked with a GPS device.
"What we are simply trying to do with this bill is add modern technology to achieve the original purposes of our sex offender registry," said Longwitz.
Currently sex offenders are required to register every 90 days and if convicted of non-compliance, could be sentenced up to five years in prison, typically spending even less time actually behind bars. That's just what happened in the case of [name withheld] Longwitz says the remainder of that sentence spent out of prison should be attached to an electronic lease.
"If you can't follow the sex offender registry law, then you need to be monitored," said Longwitz.
Although a reactive effort, Longwitz says Lenora's Law will be the foundation for better laws to prevent future crimes. For Edhegard's family, it's a small piece of mind for immeasurable loss.
"This may not have happened to our sister had this law been in place," said Macon.
Those tracking devices are expected to cost about $10 a day and the cost is set to be paid by the offenders. If the offenders can't pay, the state would have to pick up the tab. If signed by the governor, the law wouldn't be in effect until 2015.
