The Edmonton Oilers used to feast on the Minnesota North Stars. Over 14 seasons the Oilers were 27-7-11, but once they dropped the North, relocated to Dallas for the 1993/1994 season and became the Stars, they have owned the Oilers.
The Stars are 54-13-4-2 v. the Oilers since moving to Dallas. If you add in the playoffs, 23-10, they are a ridiculous 77-23-4-2 all-time against Edmonton. That is not typo.
Nine different Oiler head coaches have witnessed their team get dominated by the Stars over the past 18 1/3 seasons, so Ralph Krueger will be in tough to try and change this one-sided series.
The Oilers are the only western conference team that Glen Gulutzan, 5-0, has yet to lose against, and he'll try to continue that streak tonight.
The Stars have kept their supremacy over the Oilers through five different head coaches and numerous players. From Mike Modano, Ed Belfour and Sergei Zubov to today's group of Jamie Benn and Kari Lehtonen it doesn't seem to matter who plays for Dallas the Stars usually win.
The Stars enter Rexall on a three-game winning streak, and Benn is starting to heat up with four goals in those three victories. Jaromir Jagr scored his NHL-best 17th OT winner last Wednesday in Edmonton and after that game he said, "If you skate with them (Oilers) they will beat you, so you have to beat them along the boards."
Krueger should take that quote and show it to his players and then Steve Tambellini should also read it because it is clear how you beat the Oilers. Don't play run and gun with them. The Oilers have yet to figure out that they won't be able to carry the puck into the zone on every shift.
The Oilers are 3-for-23 on the powerplay since Shawn Horcoff broke his knuckle, and a big reason for that is their unwillingness to dump and chase the puck with the man advantage. They have continually turned the puck over at the blueline, because they won't chip and chase it.
If the Oilers are going to string together some wins during this five-game home stand they need to be willing to alter their game. They've only scored eight goals five-on-five so far this season, and unless that changes in the next quarter they could find themselves six or seven points out of the playoffs at the halfway mark of the season.
The Oilers need to start winning some one-on-one battles, and stop trying to play pretty, fancy hockey all the time. There is no doubt they have lots of skill in their top-two lines, but when you aren't producing highlight reel goals, you have to be able to produce some garbage ones, and so far this season the Oilers haven't shown the willingness to get their nose dirty.
That needs to start tonight if they hope to beat the Stars.
Eager-Vande Velde-Petrell
N. Schultz-J.Schultz
Chris Vande Velde wasn't at the morning skate, but he will play tonight and Ryan Smyth will take a seat in the pressbox for the first time as an Oiler since Ron Low made him a healthy scratch.
Smyth is a very emotional player and he loves the game, and he took the news very hard. He politely declined comment, but said he will speak tomorrow. It really doesn't matter what he says, because we should all understand that he isn't happy with the decision.
Kreuger isn't afraid to bench a player, rookie or veteran, and whether players like the decision or not, they will respect a coach who isn't afraid to make a tough decision. Krueger did hint that the schedule was a factor, and with the Oilers not playing again until Saturday giving Smyth the night off allows him five days rest between games.
I'd suggest it is way too early to write Smyth off. I'm amazed at how many people are suggesting he is finished as a player. Guys have slumps, players get off to slow starts, and while Smyth won't be the player he was ten years ago, it is way to premature to suggest he's no longer an NHLer.
- Jaromir Jagr is still a force in the NHL. He is 8th on the all-time points list with 1,653 and his work ethic is a major reason why. "I always felt when I was tired I should work a lot harder. I think tired is just in your mind. I'd rather feel strong and tired than rested and weak," Jagr told me when I asked about his training regime.
- If I was Steve Tambellini I'd look very hard at signing Jagr this summer. Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux raved about what they learned from his last season and Jamie Benn has already said the same this year.
- I asked Jagr about being a mentor and what he tries to teach the young offensive stars that he plays with.
"There not many players, maybe Gretzky and Lemieux, who were born to be great players and didn't have to watch anyone else. I think you always have to learn and watch older players. Maybe they (Gretzky and Lemieux) did, but they were great at a young age. If you don't listen to anybody and just do it your way, you will find out that you might get it but probably too late in your career. That is why I try to help those guys. What I've learned during my hockey career, those little details, I can tell them right away so they can learn at 22 and not have to wait another ten or fifteen years."
Are you telling me Hall, Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins, Gagner, Hemsky, Paajarvi and Yakupov couldn't learn a few things from Jagr. I would seriously look at a one-year contract with Jagr.
- Ryan Whitney will also sit tonight, and it should come as no surprisine that he is frustrated. I don't understand why people call players whiners when they state they are frustrated and want to play. Do you think the player is happy about not playing? Talking about it doesn't make them a whiner. Far from it.
"I'm very frustrated. I want to play. We got outshot 40-14 and I'm not playing, so I think that shows where their thought on me is. I don't really know what to say. He (Krueger) did say he wants to talk to me today, so I'm going to ask him what it takes to get back in the lineup," Whitney said regarding his second straight game in the pressbox.
- "He doesn't care. He wants to win. Whatever he thinks the best lineup for him to win is, is the one he is going to play. When I got scratched the first time against Vancouver he said those are the six D that gives us the best chance to win. I don't think he cares who you are. I just need to play better when I get a chance," Whitney said honestly when asked about Krueger's willingness to bench veterans.
- Whitney sitting out two straight games will have many wondering how long he remains in Edmonton. It seems likely that he will get moved at some point and Whitney didn't avoid the question when he was asked if his future in Edmonton was solid. "I would have to say that right now it's not looking that way. They are paying me a lot of money and I'm not playing. I like it here a lot. I like the guys and I like playing here, but I don't think they necessarily like me right now. I'd like to play. I'm just frustrated. I will not ask for a trade and it's not my place to ask. If anything they'd be looking to do it. Why would they pay me this much to just not play," said a very candid Whitney.
- Before you get too concerned about Eberle's goal scoring woes keep in mind he only had three goals in the first 16 games last year. He had three goals on 34 shots for a 9.1SH%. This year he has three goals in 12 games, and he is confident that once he scores one they will come in bunches.
GAME DAY PREDICTION: The Stars domination over the Oilers continues with a 2-1 win.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: The comment section regarding Smyth and Whitney will be more entertaining than the actual game.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Last night Jaromir Jagr went to Strudwick's house for dinner. After sharing a few stories of their days in New York when Jagr was Strudwick's personal stick maker for six weeks (true story), they play NHL 13. They had a friendly wager on the game which resulted in a stunning Strudwick victory. In the post-game scrum Jagr honors his bet when asked about his game-winning goal.
"I learned that move from an old teammate of mine in New York. Jason Strudwick didn't score many goals, but he actually had really good hands. I used to watch him use that move in practice over and over, and I have to thank him for making me try it tonight."
Jagr's game winner didn't even come off his stick. He crossed centre and dumped the puck in. It bounced off the end boards into the low slot and ricocheted off Corey Potter's skate into the net. Jagr was completely straight-faced during his post-game scrum when he honoured his bet to mention Strudwick.

Also if your paying for Game Center Never should a game be blacked out and if it is I'd be asking for my money back. And if all else fails, google "first row sports" you can stream any sport you want for free. Quality sucks but at least you can watch it.
February 12 2013, 03:59PM
Ralph Krueger has the guts that we have been lacking behind the bench for too long. The lineup that he feels gives him the best chance of winning, will play. Whitney hasn't played as well as he can and Smyth was just asking to be benched with the 3 needless penalties he took against Columbus. Good on Ralph for setting egos and contracts aside in an effort to win.
The Stars own us and until I see it, I don't think the Oilers are winning to get greasy enough to win games consistently. I'll say 4-2 Stars. GO OILERS GO!!
If you've got a problem with Jags you've clearly got a problem with your self.
February 12 2013, 04:14PM
Doan and Glencross . . . I hope people lost their jobs because of these decisions.
Clearly Steve Kelly WAS the prudent choice while the entry draft crowd in Edmonton chanted Doan's name.
Are you saying acquiring Ales Kotalik was not an upgrade vs signing Curtis Glencross? I mean they did have the market cornered on guys named "Ales" that year.
Next thing you will be telling me that quashing the Mike Comrie for Corey Perry trade because Mikey would not give his signing bonus back was a poor move based on ego ....
Pffft. Rookie.

Ryan O'Reilly
Oilers have assets they could trade MPS Gagner Whitney.
Ryan O'Reilly is good but he isn't worth that. He may be marginally better than Gagner.
Oh, and he seems content to stay in Russia.
"They are paying me a lot of money and I'm not playing. I like it here a lot. I like the guys and I like playing here, but I don't think they necessarily like me right now. I'd like to play. I'm just frustrated. I will not ask for a trade and it's not my place to ask. If anything they'd be looking to do it. Why would they pay me this much to just not play,"
I won't ragdoll on a guy who wants to be here, but with Whitney it seems injuries have taken a toll on his effectiveness as a NHL player. I don't think he accepts this, but his movement and ability to guard the offensive player is severely hampered and you hope it will get better, but it does not seem too.
Very impressed with the message Kreuger is sending, but I think the benching of Smytty is not fair in a sense. The guy accepts the role to play fourth line center, and you can tell hes not natural at it, and then takes some dumn penalties. Its just seems like Smytty should of been extended a little rope and grace. Anyways I think these are the decisions that sometimes send a message to turn a team around, and there seems to be a coach who communicates accountability that has been lacking for 6 years.
I'm also impressed with Kreuger's handling of MPS. I think hes finally becoming that 2 way winger ala Fernando Pisani that we have lacked. Watching him taking pucks to the net, working the cycle, hitting defenders and using his God given size is wonderful to see.
Re.: The Stars are 54-13-4-2 v. the Oilers since moving to Dallas. If you add in the playoffs, 23-10, they are a ridiculous 77-23-4-2 all-time against Edmonton. That is not typo.
Would you not agree that a move to Seattle could reverse this trend? If it were only that simple.... S.
Ryan O'Reilly
Oilers have assets they could trade MPS Gagner Whitney.
Overpay... and Col don't want 8 million of salary for 3.5 back.
Reilly and Gagner are a saw-off give er take a asset. Reilly's a better skater, better at faceoffs, neither are super tough.
I knew Glencross had a no trade clause, but I have never heard him say anything negative about his time in Edmonton or the way they parted ways.
If he does not have hard feelings I would not think there are many players that would rather play in Calgary than in Edmonton with the current age and prospects of both teams.
I only mentioned it because of the suggestions to go for Penner who has all the tools but no motivation.
Glencross don't have a career with the audition he got from the Oilers to showcase his skills for the Flames. The trade from CBJ was a huge win for the Oil, except the Gm could not figure that out. He's probably greatful for the opportunity and says thank you to the Oilers everytime hits Eberle.

If you want to measure courage by benching a couple of veterans........might I suggest that Ralph has not yet displayed the courage to tell his young stars to stop with all the pretty plays.........and start shooting or directing pucks to the net.
Just a casual observation.......most of the high scoring games so far this year are void of the pretty passing plays.
Interesting stat here (correct me if I'm wrong). Current conference standings show as such:
1 * - Chicago CEN 12 10 0 2 22 2 * - Anaheim PAC 11 8 2 1 17 3 * - Vancouver NW 11 7 2 2 16 4 San Jose PAC 12 7 3 2 16 5 Detroit CEN 12 7 4 1 15 6 Nashville CEN 12 5 3 4 14 7 Phoenix PAC 13 6 5 2 14 8 St. Louis CEN 12 6 5 1 13 9 Dallas PAC 12 6 5 1 13 10 Edmonton NW 12 5 4 3 13
If Bieksa hadn't scored that late goal to send the Edm/Vcr game to OT and Edm wins that game in regulation, Edm would actually be tied/leading the NW division with a record of 6-4-2 over Vcr's 6-3-2(complete with more RW's than Vcr) despite the recent 5 game losing streak (and despite Vcr's 5-game win streak). Just begs the question...would the mood here be quite so "doom and gloom" if the standings actually read this way as opposed to the current standings today? If so, it's interesting how much difference a couple more minutes of one game out of 12 might make on the team's outlook.
Makes ya wonder, if Edm is leading the division today despite how the season's gone...sure, issues still remain and certainly still a lot of room to improve...but maybe the focus is more on some of the gains that have been made since last season rather than the hate comments seen during the losing streak (too small, too soft, no size, no grit, no NHL centres, 1 NHL defenseman, vets are no longer NHL quality, etc, etc.).
Heres hoping our guys dump + chase as odds are we'll beat the Dallas D to the puck but more than anything lets pray its not the ZZZZZ-fest that occured in cowtown last nite....it should be unlawful to charge for that crap.
February 12 2013, 06:23PM
I have always loved Smytty's work ethic and professionalism. Will never forget having Pronger re-arrange his face with a clearing attempt, just to have him return with a bloodied Oiler jersey on to continue to battle in '06. I don't think his career is over just yet. He's a bit slower than he has been in the past, but he was never a high flier. His grit and greasy goals are something the Oilers are lacking in a huge way this year. I hope a view from above will spark some of his old school magic for the rest of the season.
Whitney is looking bad. Hope they can offload him, but his contract and recent play will have his value at an all time low. I have serious issues with our defence as a whole. I think it needs to be addressed very soon or this year will be another wasted one. That and some size up front would be nice. Only the Oilers and 29 other teams looking for these commodities.....
February 12 2013, 06:25PM
Can't say I'm surprised. Smyth has taken way too many bad penalties this season, especially over the weekend, and his overall game isn't where it needs to be. Hopefully he mans up, recognizes his mistakes and works to correct them instead of sulking and pouting.
Howson been axed in Colum. maybe a prospect or 2 in minors new GM will move for a veteran name ie.. Whitney....
Bye bye not-Howes-son in Columbus.
Carnac the Magnificent sees you spending even more time on OilersLunch than you already do.
Funny pic JG. Laughed out loud on that one.
Oil doing the right things. Make a point of what you have to. Stay out of the "he said, he said" crap.
One guy needs to learn the game is changing. One guy needs to learn he CAN still be great, but he can't get there with his ego blocking the door.
Scott Howson, a good guy. Everyone saw this coming tho.

GCL: If you think GP is far away: I live in Hawaii and I get Kings and Anaheim games blacked out, even though I'm 3000 miles away.

I think Lindy Ruff is close to being fired, gut feeling.
I think benching Smyth is a mistake. Give him some time to get into things, and give him some PP time.
Matt Kassian was put on waivers. Discuss.
A few years back didn't Jagr want to come to edmonton, to play with Ales Hemsky?
February 12 2013, 08:06PM
GDP: Oilers win 4-2. Eberle gets 2.
OGDP: At least twice per period, game announcers refer to both Smyth and Whitney, while showing fans hold signs bearing messages of encouragement.
NSOGDP: Krueger is frustrated with the lack of grit provided by GM Tambellini. Showing his moxy to bench big names, Ralph walks over to Tambellini and sternly points to the pressbox. Shuffling along dutifully, Steve sits down beside the two Ryans. Looking briefly at the chair marked "S. Tambellini," the GM wonders aloud, "How did he know???" Meanwhile, Scott Howson is seen banging on the Rexall Place doors, holding a sign that says "Will Work For Food."
February 12 2013, 08:07PM
Matt Kassian was put on waivers. Discuss.
Very interesting.
"Pierre-Marc Bouchard will be a healthy scratch tonight. The playmaker has one goal in the past 10 games and one assist in 12 games this season. He has played on the fourth line the past two games and last night was taken off the No. 1 power play in the third period after a rough first few power plays.
Bouchard can't get into the top-6 now because he has struggled and he is useless on the fourth line. "
A few years back didn't Jagr want to come to edmonton, to play with Ales Hemsky?
Yep, and there were quite a few people around here who thought Jagr was done at that time with no hope of producing at the NHL level again.
Hmm...kinda like Souray too eh..
Oil definetly got the memo about shooting more. Worked for Hall, just need to get Eberle to hit the net.

NHL officiating is up to it usual self. It appears cross-checks, slashing and tripping are legal options for the Stars tonight.
February 12 2013, 10:22PM
I am a few calls away from contacting Interpol and asking them to investigate the NHL and it's officiating. This sh!t has to be rigged.
Why do we even bother playing the Stars? Just give them the two points and skip the game! They own the Oilers.... so frustrating!!
Just make sure you have an up to date virus scanner on your computer. Actually, I watch on first row sports pretty much all the time.
February 12 2013, 10:34PM
I hate Dallas.
So Sunday we play our worst game of the year, and win 3-1. Tonight we play our best game of the year and lose 4-1. Go figure...
Good grief that was just f'n awful!!
Goal 1 - Rexall Plexiglass (unassisted)
Goal 2 - Off the back, hit the shoulder pad, off the mask, post and in!
. . . . . Tick tick Boom!
"I'm very frustrated. I want to play. We got outshot 40-14 and I'm not playing, so I think that shows where their thought on me is. I don't really know what to say. He (Krueger) did say he wants to talk to me today, so I'm going to ask him what it takes to get back in the lineup," Whitney said regarding his second straight game in the pressbox."
-Kreuger's response
1 Engage in offensive zone (you are not a shutdown guy) so make a choice to pinch - trust your instincts and engage 2. On PP shoot the puck in 5g you have taken 6 shots! 3. Win more one on one battles than you lose in the defensive zone.
February 12 2013, 11:25PM
Not much to dissect over this effort. Oil just got beat by a better goaltender tonight.
Have to think that Captain snowypants rep with the officials (that he goes down far to easily) is starting to catch up to him. Even when he's tripped now, it's a flip of the coin that the Oilers get a powerplay.
The game prediction was pretty close. Have did get the final mail in the coffin. On a crazy bounce and a nice spin shot.
February 13 2013, 08:31AM
@Jason Gregor
Never said you did or did not, but there were a lot. Do we really need 10 guys to ask Smyth how he feels about being benched? Because you know one guy from TSN, Sportsnet, CBC, Sun, Journal, 1260, 630 etc.. will have to make sure they ask him.

Lead Hazards May Be In Your Home
In 1996, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission determined that there were hazardous levels of lead in imported, vinyl mini-blinds that could be especially hazardous to young children. They strongly recommended that the dangerous blinds be immediately removed from homes, apartments, and other dwellings. The blinds were once readily available in home improvement stores but are no longer imported into the U.S.
Young children under the age of six are most susceptible to the poisoning. It can happen either when the blinds are directly chewed, or possibly when the blinds dust, which may accumulate on the sill or floor as the blinds deteriorate, is touched and then the hand is touched to the mouth.
You may be asking yourself why this continues to be an issue in the U.S. It is because as people move into older homes and apartments that were built or decorated before 1996, the potential for lead poisoning still exists. It is important to be diligent about checking existing blinds in pre-1996 homes and apartments to be certain that they do not contain lead. In reality, it is probably cheaper to replace questionable blinds than to test them. And do not limit your diligence to your home. Childcare centers and homes of friends or relatives that your children may visit should also be of concern.
But blinds are not the only hazard. Lead-based paint remains a major concern along with water from old lead or lead-soldered pipes.
The dust produced while renovating homes built prior to 1978 could be especially hazardous if lead-based paints or products were used. The opening and closing of window or doors that were once painted with lead-based paint can be especially problematic as they can readily produce hazardous dust caused by the friction of their movement.
Depending on the severity of the problem, remedies for homes with lead paint may include a specialized process of repainting with lead-free paints or the need for full lead remediation and repainting. As always, where issues of safety are a concern, you should seek the advice of licensed experts.

St. Peter's First Universal Letter 1:1-25; 2:1-10
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 98.9,1
Exalt the Lord our God.
Verse: The Lord reigns; let the people tremble.
PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the exiles of the Dispersion in Pontos, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:
May grace and peace be multiplied to you. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Without having seen him you love him; though you do not now see him you believe in him and rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy. As the outcome of your faith you obtain the salvation of your souls.
The prophets who prophesied of the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired about this salvation; they inquired what person or time was indicated by the Spirit of Christ within them when predicting the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glory. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things which have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.
Therefore gird up your minds, be sober, set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy." And if you invoke as Father him who judges each one impartially according to his deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile. You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake. Through him you have confidence in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord abides for ever." That word is the good news which was preached to you.
So put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander. Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to salvation; for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.
Come to him, to that living stone. rejected by men but in God's sight chosen and precious; and like living stones be yourselves built.

Maryann Martindale, executive director of good government group Alliance for a Better UTAH, has released the following statement, calling for urgency in considering health care reform:
"The legislature's vow of silence on expanding health care to the poorest Utahns must end. Despite broad public support for the adoption of a Utah-centric plan to cover those who fall in the coverage gap, the majority of our legislators remain intractable. Perhaps their own highly affordable, taxpayer-funded health care plans are getting in the way of their ability to see the issue clearly.
"Legislators should be approaching this issue with extreme haste. Instead, their vow of silence on health care reform is doing irreparable harm to the health of thousands of Utahns. This is out-of-touch politics at its woeful best."

August 21 News and Notes
Robert Cleave
August 21 2011 03:12AM
The NHL is mostly in the doldrums in regard to player movement at the moment, but that doesn't mean that the business is completely peaceful, so it's time for a brief review of some of the happenings around the game. In this installment, the league's R and D camp has a few useful ideas, off-ice doings dominate in Phoenix, St. Louis, Dallas and the Island, and a member of hockey's family is laid to rest.
Quiet, isn't it? The roster looks complete after the addition of Scott Hannan last weekend, and about 1.6M under the number if Ivanans can't play or PL3 gets sent down, so maybe Feaster has finished his summer's endeavours. I'm still not sure how Stajan and Hagman both fit on the roster absent one of them playing 4th line minutes, but I suppose there's no cap pressure to force anyone out the door, which makes me think that we could see this group intact when camp starts.
One article that didn't get much notice this week was Vicki Hall's story on Rich Hesketh making the rounds, which included a roadtrip to see Kipper in Finland. I'm moderately hopeful that Miikka put the cigs away for that visit, but the bit that struck me was the note about Matt Stajan hiring a personal trainer. He looked gassed, and hurt, most of last season, so we'll see if a summer's toil can get him back to at least being a middling forward. Hard to imagine him being worse, though.
The other item from that story that caught my eye was the fact that Cory Sarich is still being treated for his pubitis. There's been some grumbling about how signing Hannan might block someone like Brodie from playing, but if Sarich isn't fully fit, the team might need an extra body to make up the numbers.
I don't really count asking David Aebischer to camp as a worthwhile add, so the club still sits two forwards short of a top nine and with Zach Bogosian unsigned. I'm not crazy about a team likely to gross north of 90M next year actively trying to lose games, so, as always, I can only hope the current roster gets a few players appended by October 9th. At least the idea that Bogo has been asking out got nipped by his remarks that he'd rented a place for next year, but oblivious source aside, keeping players in town will almost certainly require winning more than 30 games a year. I'd guess that the best hope is that there's a market out there for Oduya or Hainsey, since those two guys are the most likely to return a forward of some ilk.
I did notice in the news that the Jets will have every game broadcast, but that did lead me to wonder when Winnipeg's local CBC affiliate will be available in HD. I don't doubt I'm showing my snobbery at this point, but watching 20-odd games in peasant vision isn't that appealing. Beats seeing the Leafs every weekend, of course.
R and D:
The league's tinker-fest this week looks like it might have found a few equipment changes that will make it to the NHL soon enough. The changes to the general state of the goal net, with better cameras and thinner mesh, are all to the good, as is the shrinking of the waste area of the cage behind the goal line. The curved glass around the benches is likely good as well, although Zdeno Chara and the Montreal police might quibble with that idea.
I'm still wondering what the league sees in the current icing rule. I fell a bit odd agreeing with someone whose view of the game appears to be rooted in a sepia toned era that never really existed, but Cherry's been dead right about this specific matter for years. Blind squirrel finds acorn, etc. If the league was really interested in player safety, no-touch icing would have been incorporated already, but as we've seen from other debates, there are entirely too many in the game's hierarchy that are content with the status quo.
Travis Zajac's summer took a nasty turn this week when he tore his Achilles' tendon working out. Lou has advised the public that no moves are afoot to fill in, but there are a few cheap guys around that could be had in the interim, so a free agent signing of a Wellwood or someone of that level might be the easy way out until November.
Over at C and B, Scott Reynolds looks at individual points percentage. Turns out that good players are in on a high percentage of scoring when they're on the ice. Who knew, right? It is obvious, of course, but it's another metric that helps discern who's good and who's just along for the ride.
I try to stay out of blogger bun-fights as a rule, but the kvetching by Panthers' fans over some fairly innocuous comments from Ryan Lambert has had me alternating between laughter and head shaking over the last couple of days. Combined with the over-reaction to Gabe Desjardins pointing out that the Panthers might not be a President's Trophy contender, I can only surmise that living in Florida drives people slightly around the twist.
$erious inquiries only:
Three clubs are looking to turn over the keys to new ownership, at least publicly. Of those, the Stars seem closest to finalizing a transfer, with Tom Gagliardi closing in on a September take-over. Dallas, like a few teams, are in rebuilding mode in the aftermath of Richards heading East, so any potential dividends from having a new owner will have to wait for next summer and beyond in the FA market.
In St. Louis, Monday has been set as a deadline for acceptance of bids on the Blues. The team has been available for well over a year with no takers, which really makes me wonder what the current owners expect to get from a sale at this point. That market's pretty decent, but the ticket prices were dramatically lowered to get the seats filled, so at some juncture the club will have to ask its patrons for 20-30% more just to keep up with the middle of the pack.
And of course, the Coyotes are still in the process of trying to find someone to spend the City of Glendale's money. The latest alleged suitor is former Shark CEO Greg Jamison. I use the word "alleged" in large part because the article comes from the Phoenix Business Journal, and Mike Sunnucks had the 'Yotes sold to Matt Hulsizer about 78 different times, so reader beware. John Shannon was in contact with Jamison on Saturday afternoon and advised all concerned not to get too far ahead of themselves.
The Isles might not be for sale, but after the referendum fiasco on August 1st, Charles Wang has been looking for an exit strategy. He might get it from the developers of the Barclays Center, future home of the Nets. The primaries behind the new building in Brooklyn met with the brass this week to kick a few tires, and the league, as with Winnipeg, has stated that the number of seats in an arena isn't a deal-breaker. 75-100 bucks a seat times 14,500 is about 2-3 times what the Coyotes bring in, and a new rink for the Islanders might have that type of initial appeal.
Rick Rypien was laid to rest Saturday afternoon after a funeral at the arena in Blairmore. The 27 year old was found dead earlier this week after an apparent suicide linked to his long struggle with depression.
The only good thing that could come out of Rypien's untimely passing might be an increased willingness of hockey's culture to acknowledge that its players, tough as they might seem on the surface, aren't immune to having some seriously dark nights of the soul. Hockey's culture absolutely includes the fans, by the way, and not just players, the suits in New York or the denizens of an owner's box. It's pretty easy to look at a hockey player as a 2D gladiator that solely exists for our entertainment. That POV is remarkably dehumanizing, and yet I'd be surprised if people didn't go back to their complacent attitudes regarding player health once a bit of time passes.
It's all a bit perverse, really. The mythology surrounding the game builds players up as nearly superhuman in their ability to endure injury, and on a physical level that's certainly true. Emotionally, though, NHLers are no more or less adept at managing their health than anyone else, and yet the atmosphere around the game largely compels its participants to keep their problems to themselves, often against their best interests.
Mike Gillis noted that the Canucks feel as if they did all they could for Rypien, and that as far as it goes, I don't doubt they did. Beyond helping players that openly manifest symptoms of depression, though, the league, like the wider society it exists within, needs to take an aggressive approach in advising employees that they don't need to wait until they're overwhelmed, and that coming forward isn't a sign of weakness others will prey upon.
As a final note, I haven't a clue whether Rick Rypien's depression was affected by his role as a regular pugilist, or whether he had any sort of concussion issues or CTE. My own personal distaste for fighting being in the game aside, I'm inclined to allow the facts to come out before making any judgements on his specific case, and it's likely best at this point for everyone to examine the entirety of the evidence in a quieter moment.
That's all for this week.

Coming to camp in better condition can't hurt, but what he really needs to do is add 20 Lbs of mussel. I really think he'has a good level of skill, but watching him is like a boy against men. I hope it works for his sake, I felt bad watching his interviews near the end of the season. His confindence was shot.

The problem is that 'a boy among men' has been the story of Stajan's career.
August 21 2011, 10:11AM
Re: Rypien and depression. The interaction between his pathology and his role need not be purely physiological. Meaning, his depression could have be exacerbated purely by the demands and circumstances of being a pugilist in the NHL, rather than a manifestation of CTE.
Anxiety and stress are particularly noxious for those prone to depression. Throw in the hockey culture you describe - the general assumption that players hide or overcome pain - the resultant tendency for players to self medicate and you have a pretty awful environment for someone like Rypien.
That said, it's impossible to know what path he may have tread otherwise and therefore no one can say he would have been better off otherwise.
August 21 2011, 10:20AM
Also, I'd like to add a link to the proceedings. Ethan Moreau signs in LA.
If ever there was a guy who survived on reputation over ability, it's Moreau. They put him in a ahrd minutes role last year in CBJ and he got absolutely murdered. That was, of course, being terrible against nobodies for the Oilers the year before. Moreau takes a ton of penalties, can't really play against any one aside from 4th liners and is incredibly injury prone. And yet he finds work every year. Nigel Dawes and Nik Zherdev are plying their trade in the KHL this season due to lack of demand for their services may I add.

@Robert Cleave
Yeah, there's no certainties when it comes to an idiosyncratic case like Rypien's, particularly since we'll never know the full truth of the situation. The only real way to discover a relationship between enforcers and something like depression would be to do a proper epidemiological study.
Apparently from what I have heard Rypien had been battling depression for a really long time, back from when he played for the Pats. I believe I read in an article (can't remember where) that it started when his girlfriend at the time was killed in a car accident on her way to watch him play. It is truly a tragedy. I'm good friends with the family he stayed with when he played Midget AA in Lethbridge and I know how devastated they are. Hopefully it brings some awareness to depression

Isn't a proper study going to be a bit tricky when studying a population of maybe 300 guys?(300 is based on a quick back of the envelope calculation of one per team across NHL, AHL, ECHL, European pro leagues and major junior)
August 22 2011, 10:52AM
You'd have to get historical and you'd want to compare the rate of incidence amongst frequent fighters versus the rest of the league and the general population.
Of course, such studies are also problematic in determining cause from correlation as well, but it's better than guessing.
The other hurdle is getting proper records of depression/anxitey/concussions/substance abuse etc. from hockey populations since players, teams and the league are motivated to under report such things.

Solaris Wedge
"I wanted to "kick it up a notch" from flip flops & everyday comfort sandals. The champagne color, wedge heel & beading take it to the next level without being "overly dressy". I like the slightly narrow fit; sometimes in a wedge my foot can slide too far forward. I MAY have opted for a half size bigger, because the shoe runs a little short, but usually, the next size up is too wide, so I went with the 6.5, my normal size. My foot does not hang over the back, but a smidge more space would be better. Not well padded, so not a good walking shoe, but OK for office or dinner."

What did you do for spring break?
Well one group consisting of 30 members of Lutheran Churches in and around Boulder, Colo. spent their spring break painting and fixing up the Community Center/Boys and Girls Club in Green River.
They brought with them tools, plants, funding and energy. Because they wanted to give to the community, paint was purchased at ACE Hardware in Green River. Ladders and scaffolding went up and the delicious lemon tinted paint flowed onto the 100 year old building. They paid High Desert Excavation to remove old tree stumps and roots so that gravel can be placed at a later date when funding is available.
Members of the group including Pastor Chad had visited the Boys and Girls Club last summer and saw that it needed their help. The Community Center was established in 2001 and this is their 10 year anniversary. In 2008 the ceiling of the building that they were occupying collapsed due to extreme rainfall and weather. They moved to the much smaller building that they currently occupy thanks to the efforts of the City of Green River and the Emery County Commissioners. Shortages in grant and donation funding have not allowed the fix up that the building needed.
Executive Director, Joni Pace said, "Thanks to our Lutheran friends, our building got the face lift that it needed, it is a fresh start into spring and the beginning of even more great things to come."
From the Community Center/Boys and Girls Club of Green River; Thank You Atonement Lutheran Church Boulder, Colo., First Evangelical Lutheran Church Longmont, Colo., Trinity Lutheran Church Boulder, Colo., Christ The Servant Louisville, Colo., your love and generosity will benefit this community for years to come and we will always remember our Lutheran friends from Colorado.
The Green River Community Center is proud to be in their 10th year of helping the citizens of Green River. Their many programs have enriched the lives of the children as well as the adults in Green River. Many events have been held through the years. The community center has given students a place to go after school with homework help, activities and computer access. The center has provided meals for children and for the senior citizens. They have held bazaars each Christmas with programs and activities for the community. The clean-up projects for the city have been ongoing since the inception of the community center. Each summer a reading program for the youth and a summer camp is held with a different theme and emphasis each year. The community center has been involved in getting funding for a new skate park for the town. The list goes on and on of the accomplishments of the hard workers at the community center. Their dreams of an active and involved community are coming true with the support of the entire town's citizens as well as Green River City and the support of Emery and Grand counties.

Meet the Hanging Judges
In case you missed it, the Youth Court just graduated its first bunch of magistrates for the teen set. The program was initiated a while back as a way to put the screws to those troublesome kids that refuse to listen, pay attention to laws and regulations, and are just a pain in general. You know, Like Kevin Bacon ('I just want to dance, darn it!') in "Footloose." My guess is it should be fun to watch the first few sessions, where the kids will still be feeling out the whole process, and hand out some punishments that do not fit the crimes. You know, like chop the hand off a texting teen instead of just confiscating the phone. I'm sure they'll settle down once they over-adjudicate over the first few weeks, so get there early and get a good seat, and watch the teen felons squirm as they await their destiny at the hands of their peers. Justice rocks!
In other news, the PTSA Super Sale is done, and word is they've taken off to Atlantic City to try and turn their profits into more profits. You can read about that in this story here, but that's my guess, that they're feeling lucky, and are going to let it roll. You'll have to read between the lines a bit, the part where it says the PTSA uses the money to sponsor "specialty field trips." The field trips my kids have taken through the school have been to far away places like Pittsford Village, and that doesn't sound like a "specialty" trip to me. What else can I assume?
Finally, I met a fan last night who came all the way from California to say hello, and for that he gets a mention here. Thanks John. I also heard someone in Atlanta gets a chuckle from reading this, but I forgot to get her name, but again, thank you. I know no one comments here, but if you have a second, when you read this post can you just click on the "Recomend" link right under the title above? It would make my day, and thanks. Right now there's a breeze blowing outside the window and the leaves are raining down, and I just raked the stupid front yard, and it looks like I will have to do it again. I can't find a picture from the original version of the movie 'Rollerball' where they use flamethrowers on trees for entertainment, but that's what I feel like doing at the moment. But I don't want the man after me, so I'll go grab a rake.
As always, if you know of anything of interest in Pittsford, feel free to drop me a line here.
