USA TODAY Sports provides 5 things you missed Saturday night from the world of college hoops
In case you were out partying (likely) or going to bed early to get up for church (semi-likely) last night, there was some college basketball you missed.
There was this this incredibly boring game between No. 12 Louisville and Notre Dame. That was the first 39 minutes. Then came the last minute of regulation and a whopping five overtimes. That part was epic.
BREAKDOWN: Notre Dame's 5-overtime win by the numbers
Now that the NFL season is over, it's time to embrace the madness that precedes March on the hardwood:
1. The No. 1 team should be Miami:
Imagine this: Five of the top 10 teams in the country lost last week and the highest-ranked team remaining out of those five teams that didn't lose is a team that lost by 27 points to a team that has clearly been the best team in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Enter the No. 11 Miami Hurricanes, who made North Carolina their latest victim in an 87-61 rout on Saturday to move to 10-0 in the ACC. Miami Heat players LeBron James and Dwyane Wade watched courtside. Jim Larranaga's group hasn't reached celebrity status, but with two of the NBA's best players taking notice, it's the perfect wake-up call for the rest of the country to start taking notice.
FIGHT: Punches fly in Missouri's rout of Ole Miss
HIGHLIGHTS: How the top 25 fared
"Miami is the best team in the country," ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said. "I think they're capable of beating absolutely anybody. They've proven that."
Odds are, Duke will become the No. 1 team in the country on Monday in both polls. But voters will certainly have to scratch their head when they have a Miami team that's so hot right now (like Hansel). Duke's resume-lifting November is what makes them No. 1. But let's not mistake the Ryan Kelly-less Blue Devils for the best team in the country, especially when they're not the best team in the ACC. Just do me a favor and look at the top 10. Then find me a team that's better than Miami. Exactly. Told you. Now listen to Will Smith.
2. Meet the Sherman-ator, Notre Dame's new star:
Garrick Sherman didn't play a second in regulation, then this dude became the most important player in a five-overtime thriller. The junior center, who transferred from Michigan State, didn't see the floor until ND star Jack Cooley and Tom Knight fouled out and went on to score 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting in the five overtimes. He put on his hero hat in the third overtime, tipping in a rebound with five seconds left to knot the score at 93-all and send the game into a fourth overtime.
"I'm still trying to digest it," he said after the game. "I had to step up for my team."
WATCH: NCAA player shatters backboard
EARLIER THIS WEEK: Illinois stuns No. 1 Indiana with 0.9-second buzzer-beater
3. Wisconsin's upset was epic, but the Badgers' dance moves are better:
After Wisconsin stunned No. 3 Michigan on Saturday thanks to Ben Brust's 40-foot shot...
The Badgers celebrated in style by dancing to Ke$ha...
4. Half-court GameDay shots are foreshadowing:
Let's think about this. Butler student makes a half-court shot worth $18K on ESPN's College GameDay and we witness a thrilling Butler-Gonzaga game. Then a Notre Dame student makes a half-court shot worth $18K and we watch a five-overtime classic. Half-court shots by students=amazing college basketball. Please keep giving away money, ESPN.
5. Reeling Kansas fell off its Big 12 mantle:
Oklahoma edged Kansas 72-66 on Saturday night, dealing the reeling Jayhawks their third consecutive loss, the first three-loss losing streak since 2005.
With Kansas State's 79-70 win over Iowa State, Kansas (19-4, 7-3) fell into a tie for second place with Oklahoma State in the Big 12 standings. It's a perplexing scenario that seemed downright impossible before this disastrous skid. Then again, it also seemed impossible for Kansas to lose to last-place TCU.

Non-Stress Test
Your obstetrician really has two patients: you and your baby. Your doctor can ask you how you are feeling and perform a variety of tests to determine your well-being, but the best way to determine how well your baby is faring in your uterus is by performing a non-stress test.
A non-stress test can be performed at anytime during your pregnancy when your doctor or midwife has some concerns, or around weeks 41 or 42 if you have not yet given birth. It is usually performed in your doctor's or midwife's office, is painless and safe for you and your baby. During the test an external fetal monitor is attached to your belly to record your baby's heart rate and you are asked to signal your doctor when you feel the baby move.
The heart rate of a healthy baby accelerates by about 15 beats per minute with movement. If a baby's heart rate does not increase during a 40 minute test period, this suggests that the baby's health may be in jeopardy. While a reactive non-stress test (baby moving with an accelerated heart rate) tells the doctor the baby is probably healthy, a nonreactive non-stress test (no acceleration of heart rate with baby's movement) may be a false alarm at least 75 percent of the time. The baby may be sleeping or just not in the mood to kick around during the testing time period. Rest assured, if there is no activity during the test, as soon as you leave the doctor's office and head home your baby will probably start kicking in every direction and putting on a show (this is known as the Murphy's Law of Pregnancy).
Another type of non-stress test is the Fetal Acoustical Stimulation or Vibroacoustic Stimulation Test. This test evaluates the reaction of the baby to sound or vibrations and has been found to be more accurate than the traditional non-stress test.
Many doctors and midwives ask their patients to regularly record how many kicks, pokes, and other movements they feel over the course of one hour. Though this method is not foolproof, it can provide some indication of a baby's condition and can be used to screen for possible problems. If you don't notice adequate activity, your doctor will usually perform one of the more scientific non-stress tests.

Coral sandals
"These sandals match a spring dress perfect and they are so comfortable. I Took them to Las Vegas with me and walked in them all day."

Absolutely love these sandals!
"So I'm pretty sure you're reading this review to decide whether or not to buy this item- I'd say you'd be doing yourself an injustice by NOT buying this item! Its absolutely everything you want from a sandal/flip-flop; style, comfort, and an overall good feel when you put them on and walk in them. They run pretty true to size and they are incredibly light- you can't even feel them when you have them on! Little to say, absolutely wonderful shoes and I am very happy with this purchase."

Very Comfy and Stylish But Runs Short
"I saw these sandals over 6 months ago in a DSW store and fell in love with them but didn't get them as I had just begun my "everyday sandal/flip flop" search. They were continually on my mind and I couldn't find any other sandals/flip flops that topped their comfort level AND sophisticated (yet casual) style so I decided to order them (black and tan pairs) online a couple weeks ago. By this time, I had read all the reviews regarding how short the sandals run and my desired size was sold out so I ordered them a half size up instead of one whole size up (figured I'd still give it a try since I wanted them so bad). Got them, tried them on (fingers crossed and teeth clinched)......and, of course, they were too short (not bad but not where I could pull it off). So back in the box they went :( So now I'm waiting to see if my desired size comes back in stock! Other than running a little short, these flip flops are really comfortable and cute!"

Comments from customers who bought this item:
Xenyx Preamps
These state-of-the-art mic preamps are a tremendous step in the evolution of audio technology and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to expensive, boutique-style mic preamps. XENYX preamps offer a staggering 130 dB of dynamic range with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. As a result, XENYX mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance that you just might think someone upgraded your microphones while you weren't looking.
Sweet British EQ
The British consoles of the 1960s and '70s changed the sound of rock and roll. Without them, the British Invasion might not have even happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on our XENYX mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.

This week Brian sits down with Eleanor Hanson and Oliver Wise, the Oakland-based founders of The Present Group, who describe the project as "like a mutual fund that produces art instead of profits.â€; A quarterly art subscription project, The Present Group enables a community of subscribers to create a new avenue of support for contemporary artists.
They produce thought-provoking work in a variety of media, and each of the four annual limited editioned art works is paired with an essay contextualizing the edition.
Their goal is to engage art enthusiasts who never thought of themselves as art collectors and to introduce them to the experience and pleasures of owning contemporary art. This is the next installment of the collaboration between Art Practical and Bad At Sports.
An abridged transcript of this interview appears in AP Issue 13. http://www.artpractical.com

Simplex: LEDs are not shining
This is most probably because of the threshold level set too high.
1. Change the threshold values (+/-buttons) so that threshold would show 10uV. This will re-scale the bargraph to the typical average levels.
2. Please replace the batteries and check if it helps the LEDs to be brighter.

People are having fun with Wikipedia again, enjoy it before it disappears:
People are having fun with Wikipedia again, enjoy it before it disappears:
I absolutely loved it when David and Scott kept telling Mr. Wain he meant Neil Diamond and not Al Jolson. And then suggested he might be a little senile.
I thought the episode might be understandably a little subdued with family in the room, but Adomian managed to kill it and keep it clean as Busey.
I love how restrained Adomian's Busey is. He plays it so straight forward that I could see someone that didn't know any better actually believing it was really GB on the CBB.
Henry Wain needs his own Earwolf show.
I agree, if I didn't know it was Adomian I would have thought it was the real Gary Busey.
He really has perfected the impression entirely.
I thought David Wain's dad was an Andrew Daly character for a good 5-10 minutes.
If I could discuss the live show for a mo'
Tonight's was fucking crazy. Harris did like six minutes of foam corner, most of which was a new character: the stand up comedian who cheats at stand up; James Adomian did an extra hilarious extra long set that included his Todd Glass (I like to pretend he did it just for me), Westside Brody Stevens, and Hunter S. Tompkins (yup); and Greg Fitzsimmons did one of the most provocative sets I've ever seen (re: race) that caused one gentleman to walk out while flipping Greg the bird and one girl to cry. Greg's set really pushed the envelope of what's appropriate and I loved it, probably because it made me a little uncomfortable as well. Throw in Nikki Glaser, Sara Schaefer, Jay Larson, Steve Agee, Myq Kaplan, and Pete Holmes and you get the best live CBB I've ever seen.
Sorry to make people jealous, but y'all gotta come to these shows!
I agree that tonight may have been the best CBB I've ever seen and Gregs set pushed everything to the extreme. It left at least one guest crying (and not from laughter) and more than a few upset. Also everyone needs to pick up a CA from all the performers because they are solid. I would put down over a thousand dollars if they need to record. Just everyone was on fire.
Unfortunately one of the guys he chose to talk was a real douche and wouldn't answer harris's questions honestly without trying (and failing) to be funny in his response. (this was the same guy who gave greg the finger)
The newest episode with Ben Schwartz, Reggie Watts, and Bjork is going to get me fired from my job. Pretty sure of it.
I love Matt Besser as Bjork, top 5 show characters. Bjork ripping off Adele song killed me.
Here be my list:
1) Bob Ducca
2) Dom DiMello (sp?)
3) If I have to pick just one PFT character, I guess Cakeboss
4) Bjork
5) Bill CosbyBukowski
6th Runner up: Jack Sjunior and Bryan Pieces
Told my wife, in front of my 2 year old, that Björk told Ben that he had so much "c" in his "a" that he could get a girl pregnant if he would "f" in her "p" and she liked that.
I think I have to listen over again, very soon. Also, "Pulled Björk" is the best.
Such a good episode.
When Bjork put Ben in confrontation corner about the airport confrontation, I felt like I was so cool because I was in on this trans-podcast joke.
A lot of my emotional self-worth comes from getting jokes.
My twitter!
My show: Potato Potato Podcast
In case anyone forgot how amazing Nick Kroll is:
I love Ben Schwartz on Shameless.
I host a comedy podcast about parenting.
I have a Recury fanart request -
A valentine from Ben Schwartz to Emmy Rossum. Like a giant heart with each of their faces in it or what-have-you.
Thank you.
I greatly enjoyed this new episode with Greg Proops, Ice-T, and Jesse Ventura. It's a great example of "standard" Comedy Bang Bang, if that's actually a thing. You know what I mean.

San Diego Banksters and Insiders Had a Very Merry Christmas
11 comments:
And more recently, stocks rejected the recommendation of council minority to get an appraisal on The Pacific View property. That seems unwise, too.ReplyDelete
The value of a 30 year income stream is not an absolute number. It depends on revenue and ridership - both of which are projections at this point. To adjust the internal rate of return by just a few dozen basis points will significantly impact the bottom line value estimate. Therefore, the "value" is as subjective as anything else. What we do know is what it would cost to build out the 805 and that's a much bigger number than what was paid. Also, SBX had a huge litigation liability due to it being sued by Otay River Constructors - the road's design-builder. In the end, the road will eventually be free, it will have reduced tolls and the folks living along 805 will not have to deal with the construction impacts.ReplyDelete
And by the way, the foreign "banksters" and Maquarie LTD of Australia were the ones who got the short end of the stick in this deal- to the tune of 50% of their equity invested. The federal government's loan remains 100% intact. Why not take the time to come up with a title that reflects the reality of the project, the bankruptcy and the SANDAG buyout? How about "Merry Christmas for Chula Vista commuters"ReplyDelete
If the road were worth that much, a private firm would have bid for it.
The tolls would have been priced to maximize revenues (i.e. cheap enough to get lots of cars) and it wouldn't have cost the taxpayers a dime.
Instead, Jerome bailed out the bankers with our money.
Just because Macquarie lost money building it doesn't mean the next suckers to buy it are getting a good deal.
Was this a bankruptcy sale? If the private company owning it can't afford to keep it why pay top dollar? Something is very fishy here and it ain't Charlie the TunaReplyDelete
With the taxes we pay why have a toll road at all?ReplyDelete
Here is a wise purchase.ReplyDelete
The sellers said it was worth $287 millions. Jerome Stocks ordered $300 million in borrowed taxpayer dollars to pay for toll road (known as SBX to people familiar with the issue).ReplyDelete
Nickname unavailable,
Tell me where the following thinking is wrong…
The value of a 30 year income stream is not an absolute number.
Absolutely. I have fully recognized that. Good investors recognize there will be a probability distribution for income and the former owners said the expected value (which was certainly made in consideration of that distribution) was well below what SANDAG paid.
Why? Why pay more? What reason do we have to believe they would have said no to $287 million, or even $200 million. (They went bankrupt!)
If SANDAG's cost was a fire sale cost, why didn't these for-profit private investors instead sold it for more to another group? Couldn't find anyone to buy it at that fire sale price? Probably shouldn't claim it's a lower than market value price then.
It depends on revenue and ridership - both of which are projections at this point.
If I were on SANDAG I would have asked for a test run at the lower pricing level to see what happens to revenue and road usage. I like empirical data when it can be obtained. For a $300 million dollar deal, it could have been obtained.
To adjust the internal rate of return by just a few dozen basis points will significantly impact the bottom line value estimate.
Therefore, the "value" is as subjective as anything else.
It shouldn't be arbitrary. It should be justified with solid data and reasoned analysis.
SANDAG paid more than anyone else wanted to pay for the road, no? The sellers thought they could only get $58million less than what SANDAG paid. Why did SANDAG pay more than it needed to pay to obtain the road?
What we do know is what it would cost to build out the 805 and that's a much bigger number than what was paid.ReplyDelete
That isn't contradictory? Isn't that a "subjective" estimate of the cost? What will the costs be in 20 years?
Most important to this whole swap out justification for the price paid (and successful private companies do not operate that way) is the fact that the 805 project might not have been built with TransNet money ANYWAYS. TransNet II was a BILLION dollars in the hole on day one. SANDAG refused to prioritize all of the non-early action items.
BECAUSE of all the same justifications for the purchase, we might have depriortized the 805 expansion or eliminated altogether from TransNet. Why? Because of what Jerome Stocks has asserted. The takeover of the toll road by SANDAG means that we don't have to expand the 805… BUT wasn't SANDAG going to take over the toll road eventually anyways?
That is why I asked Jerome Stocks for the long-term program-wide (NOT project-wide) scenario comparison for the purchase versus no purchase options. He could not provide that to me. If you operate a county-wide multi-decade multi-billion dollar transportation program that analysis should be the first thing considered. No?
Also, SBX had a huge litigation liability due to it being sued by Otay River Constructors - the road's design-builder.
Don't know about that. Does that mean we should have paid MORE than $287 million dollars. Was there press coverage of this? That seems like that should have reduced the market value.
In the end, the road will eventually be free, it will have reduced tolls and the folks living along 805 will not have to deal with the construction impacts.
Even if SANDAD didn't buy it, in the end it would eventually be free and folks along the 805 would have received the relief. That a ways out. If SANDAG had paid $287 instead of $345 million the tolls on the road would be free much sooner and thus this benefit could be received sooner, no?
How about "Merry Christmas for Chula Vista commuters"
We heard that before, when the for-profit SBX was built with government support. I hope this does result in improved quality of life for many people. Does this mean it will make driving from south bay more attractive? How do the transit and walking advocates feel about that?
In my rush I rounded the purchase price to $300 million. It was $345 million.ReplyDelete
Yes, something does smell fishy. It truly feels as though Jerome Stocks continues to misuse his authority. From my perspective, he continues to violate the public trust.ReplyDelete
In my opinion, the Brown Act exclusion for real estate transactions is not serving the public trust. Because real estate is excluded from open government law, officials do not have to have transparency when it comes to "real properties." An open bidding process allows for "fair market value." Anything else is catering to special interests.
With respect to the Mossy property, now the Public Works Yard, there was a lot of "payback" on that one, I'm sure. The voters were NOT made aware of the enormous cost of building the library where it now stands, with its huge retaining wall, in a location INACCESSIBLE to seniors who might take the bus (the hill is so steep, it's very challenging to ride one's bike to the library, or to walk there from the bus stop, for most). Yet the present location was "sold" to the voters as being accessible to public transportation.
Had the library been built on land already owned by the City, near the golf course, then we would NOT have needed to pay well over $11 million for a new public works yard, which was originally sold, by Dalager and his Council cohorts as "turnkey" at first $8 million, then $9 million, INCLUDING ALL STRUCTURES!
Moreover, there never was an independent appraisal of the Mossy Property, nor the Hall Property, as far as we know. Insiders get enormous kick backs, and the tax payers and San Dieguito Water District ratepayers get the shaft. If real estate decisions were made publicly, with input from certified appraisers, then so much deception and graft could be avoided.
I feel the State Law needs to be changed. Most or all of the discussion regarding real estate should be public. If this were the case, Jerome's latest boondoggle and taxpayer loss could have been avoided. Thanks for the excellent article, LB.
Thank you for posting on the Leucadia Blog.
There is nothing more powerful on this Earth than an anonymous opinion on the Internet.
Have at it!!!

Excellent weekend for lacrosse, crawfish, and more lacrosse.
To start the weekend off, we played that Brother Martin team I told you about last week in our regular season conference game. Out of all the teams in the state, I'm pretty sure I have the most respect for Brother Martin's program. Is it because most of my fraternity brothers and best friends are from Brother Martin, or the best man in my wedding went there? Possibly.
Or it could be because they are by far the coolest, most sportsmanlike team I've seen.
It's weird – when you're the new kid on the block, you just come to terms with the fact that people aren't going to welcome you with open arms to the league. Brother Martin's players did the opposite. At the Navy Camp last year, the Brother Martin guys hit it off with the Dutchtown guys right away, and they've maintained that relationship throughout the year.
Just before we began doing warm-ups, I looked and saw a group of Brother Martin players talking with a group of Dutchtown players. When you would normally think "uh oh pregame fight," in this case, I knew that they were just hanging out. Pretty incredible to see how this sport is bringing people together.
Anyway, whenever Dutchtown and Brother Martin get together, you know you're in for a real lacrosse game. This year, our three meetings were neck and neck, with the outcome decided in the final quarter/minutes. In meeting one, at the Sugar Bowl tourney they beat us 5-4 after some mixed communications were cleared up. In the Battle by the Beach tourney, we won 7-5 (you DID watch that, didn't you?).
After three hard fought, intense quarters of this weekend's game, we were tied 6-6. It was every bit of 85 degrees outside with high humidity. Under those pads, it must have felt like 100+. Our defense simply didn't have the gas in the tank to finish the game, and we fell to BroMart in the fourth quarter.
Final: Loss, 11-7
Impressions: Proud of the team for fighting so hard through the game. Brother Martin is no joke. They beat us 18-2 last year. I'm completely content with merely being competitive with these top tier Louisiana teams. Our time will come – at least I know we're on the right track in building this Dutchtown program.
What's Next: First, a crawfish boil. Then, Archbishop Rummel the very next day.
Immediately after the game, I had to participate in one of the lady friend's family activities. No complaints from me – it's one of my favorite things on the planet to be a part of. This is my favorite aspect of Louisiana culture – hands down: The crawfish boil.
A truly festive way to spend your afternoon, nothing could possibly bother you at crawfish boil.
Sunday: Consecutive lacrosse games are tough, especially after a close loss. Players are tired. It's hot as Hell. And sometimes you just feel deflated.
I was concerned about this Archbishop Rummel team. While they've had some woes in their regular season, they came out to Battle by the Beach and dominated. They beat us 4-2, and their hearts were clearly in it to win. Here, watch this for visual proof:
Dutchtown vs Rummel BBBV from Knox Hutchinson on Vimeo.
My message was clear: Do not underestimate this team. They're coming to play, and land their first win. Something happened with my team on Sunday, and whatever it was, I'm thankful it happened. They just "clicked." Every aspect of the game, they performed well, but the most impressive part was offensive ball movement and patience. The second most impressive was dominance in the ground ball department.
Final: Win, 15-4
Impressions: Stellar patience, ball movement, and vision from our attackmen is better late than never. Some of the plays they performed were executed at NCAA D1 level perfection. Couldn't be any happier.
Next: Can't lose focus. In order for us to make the playoffs, we have to win out. We have 3 conference games over the next two weeks, starting with a road trip to Mandeville this Friday. After that, we have Louisiana's top team, Jesuit, and then Ocean Springs, who always plays a tough game to the bitter end.
Sick Pictures and Effort
We've all heard someone say "he risks it all on every single play," but it's not as often that that risk is captured in a moment.
Patrick Messenger, one of our attackmen, towers in at maybe 5′ 2″. He risks it all on ever single play. Period. It also doesn't hurt that his stick skill is superb, and that he can "finish."
See for yourself.
These are two separate goals, coming in the 2nd and fourth quarters.
All pictures courtesy of Barry Spears.
LSU had a nice win over Rice on Thursday, but somehow came up short at Tulane on Saturday. They bounced back on Sunday and took care of UL-Lafayette. Tulane is not to be underestimated – they have a few solid players.
Here's a couple pictures from the Tulane game that I found on Daniel Adler's facebook page. Not sure who took these photos, but they're nice.
Here's some footage from the LSU-Rice game.
Also, a big congrats goes to ULL for landing their first ever win over Stephen F Austin, 16-14. My sources who are close to ULL have told me they have some very big recruiting prospects coming their way over the next couple years. I'm super anxious to see how that works out for them.

Remember when I told you about Chris Dill?
He's going to Limestone.

FGD: Doing It Wrong
Ryan Pike
April 15 2013 01:50PM
On trade deadline day, April 3, the Calgary Flames basically threw in the towel. And yes, by that I mean the trade that sent Blake Comeau to the Blue Jackets was meant to be a watershed moment for the franchise. Combined with the deals that shipped out higher-paid, higher-skilled players named Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester, those moves were the beginning of the Flames' long-delayed rebuild and a sign to fans to prepare for some losses.
Since the trade deadline, the Calgary Flames have somehow won half of their games. Exempting their deadline day 8-2 spanking at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers, the team has played six competent, fairly consistent contests. They lost to San Jose and Vancouver (twice). They beat Edmonton, Phoenix and Colorado. They've missed the veteran presences of Matt Stajan, Curtis Glencross and Alex Tanguay, and it has not mattered one bit.
In other words, in terms of selling off their high-end players and trying to tank for a Nathan MacKinnon or Seth Jones at the NHL Draft in June – they're doing it wrong, but they're showing the kind of resilience and consistency that Flames fans are probably really conflicted about the whole thing.
Brace yourselves, fans, because the Flames are threatening to actually move up in the standings when they host the Minnesota Wild tonight at the 'Dome. Puck drop is at 7pm on your friendly neighbourhood Sportsnet communications venues.
The Flames had fun on the weekend, edging out Phoenix in overtime and embarrassing an Edmonton team all the way out of playoff contention, all without moving up in the NHL's overall standings. It was the very definition of having your cake and eating it too. But Calgary (16-21-4) can leap from their cozy perch and overtake Carolina, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and Nashville with a win and some help tonight. That would put them as high as 24th overall, which would just screw with any dreams of Drouin or MacKinnon.
So who's to blame for the resurgence?
Well, maybe Jay Feaster. After being told for so many years that Calgary's prospects are lousy, he puts a bunch of them on the roster to tank the season...and they've actually scored goals and played well. Recent signee Ben Hanowski will get his shot to prove his worth tonight too, by the way.
Journeyman back-up goalie Joey MacDonald, hoped to be the latest in a long line of bad back-ups, has also been quite good. Truth be told, he's won half of his decisions as a Flame and is the only netminder with a goals against average south of 3 per game. He was a big reason the Flames escaped with 2 points against the Coyotes (someone knee cap him!).
The other problem is that the team is generally playing loose, relaxed, up-tempo hockey and getting contributions from everywhere. In the last six games, Mikael Backlund has two goals and two assists and has been excellent. Mark Giordano and Lee Stempniak each also have four points. Roman Horak, Sven Baertschi and Max "Power" Reinhart are racking up points, as well.
It's just not fair.
Well, it's possible. The Wild are 13th overall (7th in the West) with a 22-16-3 record, but they're under .500 on the road and have won just three times in their last ten games. It's possible that the Flames could beat them, particularly the way they're playing right now.
If the Wild play up to their talent level, the Flames should lose and creep back down towards the bottom of the standings. But there's no guarantees. If it helps, Wild netminder Niklas Backstrom is really good and always seems to frustrate the Flames. The key to beating this tanking team lately has been to throw a hot goalie at them (Niemi, Schneider, Luongo), so that may be a good omen for those hoping for a loss.
After this game, the Flames play six more times – twice at home and four times on the road, where their horrible away record will drag them kicking and screaming towards a good draft pick. Their remaining opponents are Detroit (20-15-7, 8th in West), Anaheim (27-10-5, 2nd), Minnesota again, Nashville (15-20-8, 13th), St. Louis (23-16-2, 6th) and Chicago (32-5-4, 1st). There are at least three guaranteed losses right there. But will it be enough? Find out starting tonight.

Hano looks way out his depth to me, but the rest are playing well.
Not unexpected. We know he's not the best skater from scouting reports, and it's a sizeable jump from NCAA to NHL. He did show good instincts on that one chance he had with Cammalleri, though.
haha maybe a timekeeper or goal judge who's been around since the '50s.
I'd be keen on Burke, except I'd end up having to listen to him spew old Winston Churchill quotes thinking he's so clever.
April 15 2013, 09:01PM

burke and jim the anvil niedhart can tangle with lowe and his backup for the first overall selection in the draft.
some of them old dudes in montreal have cups as players coaches etc, serge savard has to have a bunch maybe lowe should ask him dare bout winning eh.
April 15 2013, 09:04PM
Oh yeah, there's no surprise there at all.
April 15 2013, 09:06PM
Sweet. Now stop scoring.
Great goal!
April 15 2013, 09:07PM
Well, that is how you run that play.
Hudler! The triple-Czech line!
Czech line!
Nice, I can celebrate without fear of us tying it.
Czech mate! har har har... nice passing play. Aaaan they get it right back.
April 15 2013, 09:09PM
Quite the pass by Horak on the Hudler goal.
Every time MIN scores, its good because we can score another goal and dont spoil our draft position :o)
A goal for the Czeching line!!!
Also, Pierre-Marc Bouchard is a jerk.
April 15 2013, 09:18PM
We having fun yet???
I think we should all go back to saying things we don't like about Rex.
You could feel that coming. Good for him.
Haha Hanowski has the same amount of goals as Jarome since the trade.
April 15 2013, 09:21PM
Nice work Hanno!
Will Taylor Hall dress tomorrow or will he get the Minny flu again? If he dresses, will he man up if challenged?
April 15 2013, 09:22PM
April 15 2013, 09:22PM
Good instincts. He's showing he knows where to go to score.
Nice Hands owski
April 15 2013, 09:23PM
hahaha...that's awesome for Hanowski.
April 15 2013, 09:24PM
Shoot the puck!
April 15 2013, 09:25PM
2 goals in 1:13 for the Mild.
Yeah, I know it's 4-2, but damn, that Hudler goal gets a Czechmark!
Normally I hate the 3-point games, but the underdog-fan in me wants Columbus to keep winning and the Flame fan in me wants Colorado to keep getting points - I guess OT in that game is just fine!
Damn, this end of season is confusing...
April 15 2013, 09:26PM
Shoot the puck Dennis.
Annnnnddddd....Colorado scores...
April 15 2013, 09:27PM
Shoot the puck Dennis.
He got the memo
Go Avs
I'm not even joking, I was saying Hanowski should score today literally seconds before it happened. Funny when you can just feel these things coming.
Interesting Flames trivia: the last Flame to score a goal in his first NHL game (I think) was Brett Sutter--also against the Wild.
Before Sutter, it was David Moss scoring goals in his first 3 games.
April 15 2013, 09:29PM
Max Power!
CBJ tied it.
Umberger you dick
annnndddd....there's one for the Jackets
April 15 2013, 09:31PM
CBJ tied it.
And on the PP going into OT
Wow, at this rate the Flames rebuild will be quicker than the Oilers rebuild. Nice job Maxwell's Silverhammmer, let's see if Svengali can pot one too!
Well at least the Avs got a point. This is so confusing. I want CBJ to make the playoffs, but I want the Avs to win. Screw you, draft lottery system.
April 15 2013, 09:32PM
@Scary Gary
Can't wait for Iggy to re-sign this off-season...
April 15 2013, 09:34PM
Backlund finishes his checks. He rarely peels off. I like that.
Backlund finishes his checks. He rarely peels off. I like that.
April 15 2013, 09:36PM
Very nice. Get confidence.
April 15 2013, 09:36PM
Good work there. Good for Baertschi.
Wow Svengali prediction

The Douglas County Republicans are endorsing incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorne, along with Judi Reynolds and James Geddes in November's school board election.
Like Benevento, Silverthorn and the rest of the current Douglas County School District board, Geddes and Reynolds are Republicans.
Geddes, a University of Colorado regent, seeks the District B seat now occupied by term-limited board president John Carson. The Sedalia resident is a surgeon who practices in both the Denver area and Summit County.
Reynolds, recorder for DCSD's District Accountability Committee, and a Castle Rock resident, is running for the District D seat, now occupied by Carrie Mendoza.
Mendoza, of Castle Pines, was appointed to the post in March after former board member Dan Gerken resigned. Reynolds was a finalist for the appointment.
Though Mendoza has not made a statement about her candidacy, she also has not filed a candidate affidavit with the Colorado Secretary of State.
The local party voted on its endorsements Aug. 17 after weeks of candidate interviews, and months of recruitment.
The chosen candidates are those "most likely to support the principles of the Republican Party," local party chairman Craig Steiner said. They're also those most likely to support the current board's push for education reform.
Colorado state statutes prohibit a school board candidate from running "as a candidate of any political party," and political affiliation is not included on the ballot. But they can campaign as a party member.
The Douglas County Republicans endorsed the seven current board members in the 2009 and 2011 elections.

It was a regular season game with a postseason feel.
In front of a packed house at Davenport Gymnasium Monday night, Harrisburg and Gallatin County treated respective fans to a contest that virtually proved why the two ballclubs could be considered the best in their classes.
Class 1A Gallatin County gave 2A Harrisburg all it could handle through three and a half quarters before the Bulldogs were able to pull away with a 59-42 victory in the Harrisburg Invitational.
Tyler Smithpeters led the charge for the 'Dogs, coming up with a game-high 24 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field as Capel Henshaw caught fire in the second half, coming up with 14 points to finish with 17 on 6-of-11 shooting.
Gallatin County (0-1) was led by 6-foot-11 big man Andrew Drone, who's 22 points on 11-of-17 shooting were hard to come by because of a Harrisburg two-man trap every time the Rice University signee touched the rock.
It was that relentless defense, a calling card of Harrisburg (1-0) for the past couple of seasons that helped them used a 7-0 run to start the fourth quarter to turn a five-point lead into a 12-point lead.
"I thought tonight went as well for us as we could hope for," said Harrisburg head coach Randy Smithpeters. "We knew coming in with five practices that we weren't prepared to do a lot of things. I was worried about conditioning and I think that was more of a factor on the shooting end than it was on the defensive end.
"Gallatin is a good team, a tough team with Drone that you have to put a lot of weight on to contain him, which you're not going to do and that opens up things for a lot of other people. I'm happy with the effort, but the fact that we wanted to be patient. We didn't want turnovers to become such a factor that it would cost us the game. I think for the most part, we did that."
Harrisburg forced the Hawks into 16 turnovers, while the Bulldogs shot 20-of-41 from the field.
To their credit, the Bulldogs only had eight turnovers and limited Gallatin County to 19-of-35 shooting from the field.
Despite the numbers, the one that stood out for Hawks' head coach Robert Patton was the one in the offensive rebounding column.
"They got 23 offensive rebounds, we got seven and that's where the game was won and lost right there."
Already playing with three fouls, Anthony Storto picked up his fourth when he fouled Smithpeters beyond the arc as Harrisburg's swingman cashed in on the made trifecta by sinking his free throw to give the Bulldogs a 31-23 lead with 3:53 to play in the third quarter.
"To me, that was the ballgame right there," Patton said.
Page 2 of 2 - Three consecutive turnovers to start the fourth quarter helped Harrisburg take a 38-33 lead and turn it into a 45-33 advantage with Harrisburg working in transition, stretching the lead and giving Smithpeters some room to breathe.
"The first half was really nip and tuck and this being the first game out, I was concerned when we got behind a little bit, because we didn't make some very good decisions on shot selection and we didn't want to get behind by six or eight where they could really slow it down and do things more suited for them. We were able to avoid that."
Smithpeters also acknowledged that there's something to be said for Gallatin County coming over to play in the Harrisburg Invitational, more so than the Hawks just replacing former clubs like Goreville and Anna-Jonesboro that joined forces to make the Goreville Invitational this year.
"I appreciate Patton and that program coming up here and playing a contest like this. You have to respect a program that is going to step up and face a challenge. There's no question we were going to be pretty good this year and instead of going someplace and winning five games by 20 points, Gallatin decided to come here and try to make themselves better. I just have a lot of respect for programs and people that think that way."
The Invitational resumes on Wednesday night with Gallatin County facing Carmi-White County at 6 p.m., while Harrisburg will take on Hamilton County at 7:30 p.m.
Hamilton County took out Carmi-White County 51-45 in the first contest Monday night.
