The Return of The Canucks
Marda Miller
January 16 2013 09:57AM
NHL hockey is back. That means we're all over the lockout now and ready to move on, right? Feel however you will about the damage that's been done at the hands of 'he who must not be named' the truth is that there are plenty of NHL markets frothing at the mouth ready to get back to seeing their favorite players hit the ice.
Vancouver is one of those markets.
Mike Gillis told the media in early January "As far as season ticket cancellations, yes we have had some … it's not a significant amount based on where the team is positioned."
Vancouver is one of the lucky franchises where fan support is not an immediate worry, if even one at all. Time will tell but my guess is that they will open to a sold out crowd at Rogers Arena on Saturday night and every subsequent night they play at home. To show they care about fans, the Canucks are offering merchandise at 50% discount for the first three home games where various concession items will cost you no more than $1, along with some other perks. Is that going to make up for the 113 days that fans were left with nothing? Probably not but the majority will flock to gobble up the goodies regardless because hockey is a big part of Vancouver's identity.
Without the Canucks, Vancouver is a rather boring city. Beautiful, yes but boring nonetheless (sorry it is). I'm already practicing my "Can't make it, the game is on!" excuse to get out of upcoming family functions. Something to think about: the Florida Panthers are offering seasons tickets for $168. That's for the ENTIRE season. They are also throwing a free jersey and even free parking. That would never happen anywhere in Canada. But who really is getting the better deal? (hint: it's not Florida)
January 19th starts a 48-game season insanely packed into a tight schedule over 99 days. There is some talk that the Canucks window to winning a Stanley Cup has passed. Let's try to forget that one of the best goalies in the NHL and one of the best this franchise has ever seen is presumably on his way out. The pressure will now be passed on to Cory Schneider and adds to the question of what kind of team will the Canucks be in 2013? We go back to asking if the Canucks have a chance at:
1. Making it into the playoffs
2. Making it past round one of the playoffs and to the Finals
3. Winning a Stanley Cup already!
The pressure to win is on as it always is when the season starts. Can they achieve this? Well John Garrett seems optimistic that they can. The Canucks blue-line, and their power-play, will be without Sami Salo though it did gain Jason Garrison, Jim Vandermeer and Cam Barker. The trepidation of this change balanced with a hopeful excitement of how it will play out is what makes NHL hockey titillating. And maybe I missed it but I do not think that EA has made a simulation of this shortened season. They owe us still! I think the Canucks should cash in on that. That is of course if the team can take off without the solid second line as Ryan Kesler is still injured and David Booth has killed again, this time his groin, and will be out for the first month.
The competition in the league will be fierce. Minnesota now has Zack Parise and Ryan Suter who have even more pressure and expectation placed on them and their 100 million dollar contracts. The Oilers have been building up their arsenal of incredibly talented young players. Sidney Crosby is now said to be in the best shape of his career, coupled with Evgeni Malkin who has been playing hockey in the KHL since September, will make the Pittsburgh Penguins yet another terrifying team.
The NHL is back and whether you like it or not, it's not going anywhere. At least not for the next 10 years.

Lovely stuff BurrowsGirl.
May I just say that your elegant prose and pitch perfect grammar is a welcome relief from our usual schtick!
To be fair to EA Sports they didn't factor horrible referees and the harshest suspension in Cup Final history into their game. I'm sure if you added a stat to the game for NHL incompetence and nepotism then Boston ends up winning the series.
Great write up Marda!! Can't wait for the weekend!
"Vancouver is a rather boring city."
Disagree! Though I'm a nature lover, so that may not be representative of what the average person likes to do.
Anyways, you may be right about the ticket sellouts, but the team sure is pushing hard on the ticket sale angle on the live stream of the practice right now. Perhaps there's just a bit of apathy out there?

Had To Adapt ItI don't see how the bristles will go through any but the thinest hair. However, the really good brush attachment from my beloved old dryer fits onto this dryer. It wasn't a great fit - kept sliding off - but a little duct tape on the sides have solved the problem. Why can't somebody make a dryer like this with a really substantial brush attachment?Dec 30, 2009Bobbi / Conway, MA USA

Not Good For Thick HairI purchased this hair dryer despite some reviews that the boar hair bristles did not go through thick hair...thinking maybe these women have thicker hair than mine, (even though my hair dresser repeatedly tells me I have the thickest hair shes ever seen). Well, the bristles do not go through my hair either. The wide-tooth comb attachment works better, but does not style well. Fortunately, the brush attachment from my old dryer fits on this one, so I use that, even though it slips off from time to time. It does get very hot...so did my old dryer, which they dont seem to make anymore :( Positive points about this dryer are that its not super loud or heavy and the price is cheap.Apr 24, 2008Heidi / Rochester, NY

A strong performance from England saw them defeat Scotland 38-18 at Twickenham to retain the Calcutta Cup.
A strong performance from England saw them defeat Scotland 38-18 at Twickenham to retain the Calcutta Cup.
The hosts enjoyed large portions of possession in both halves and arguably should have come away with more points, despite racking up four tries through Chris Ashton, debutant Billy Twelvetrees, Geoff Parling and Danny Care.
Scotland were not without their moments – a brilliant break from full-back Stuart Hogg leading to the first try of the afternoon for the visitors – but they were forced into defence too often and conceded needless penalties at the breakdown when momentum was behind them.
Owen Farrell produced one of his best displays yet in international rugby, a long pass securing England's third try, whilst Twelvetrees lived up to the billing he has been given in recent weeks in the build-up to the beginning of the Six Nations.
The victory means that England will travel to Dublin with confidence, but also aware that there is plenty to work on if they are to finish this year's championship with a title.
A burst from Ben Morgan set England on their way early on, winning the penalty phases later which Farrell converted for a 3-0 lead after two minutes.
England controlled the opening phases, going close with attacks from Wood and then Ashton with little errors causing them to lose possession – but it was a stunning break from Hogg that brought Scotland into the game as he scorched though frozen English tacklers and ended up close to the line.
Scotland controlled possession metres out before Greig Laidlaw drew the tackle of Geoff Parling to put Sean Maitland in the corner to score on debut.
Farrell responded with a penalty to give England a 6-5 lead. A loose pass from Richie Gray then put Scotland under intense pressure on their own 22, England winning the penalty at the breakdown for Farrell to add another three points.
England were immediately penalised from the restart for entering the side of a ruck, handing Laidlaw a penalty chance on the edge of the 22 which he duly converted to narrow the gap to a single point at 9-8.
The hosts struggled to convert several chances in the red zone before a chargedown off the back of Farrell created another opening – Twelvetrees gliding through a gap before Chris Ashton squeezed under two tacklers to score England's first try.
Neither side was able to establish a foothold in the opposition's half during the closing stages of the opening 40 minutes, until a high tackle on Morgan led to another penalty for Farrell to send through the posts.
Johnnie Beattie responded with a powerful run for the Scots which ended in a penalty nearly 30 metres out, Laidlaw converting to leave the score at 19-11 at the interval.
England started the second half with a bang – Billy Twelvetrees eventually crashing over for a try on debut after a great pass from Ben Youngs.
Farrell continued to turn up the pressure in an assured performance, pinning Scotland back into their half. Any momentum generated by the Scots a few minutes later was then killed off for a simple penalty, putting England back on the attack.
The hosts fluidity and power eventually proved too much for Scotland to handle, with Joe Launchbury appearing to cross over for a third try before the play was called back for a high tackle.
A burst from Ben Youngs however threw England back into Scottish territory, Farrell spinning a brilliant wide pass to Geoff Parling to go over in the corner for England's third try.
Scotland's defence continued to struggle throughout the second half, but a turnover near their own life breathed life into their attack, Alex Goode was wrapped up by four blue shirts to concede a penalty in his own half with Jackson kicking to the corner.
Their efforts though were in vain as replacement David Denton knocked on heading for the try line. The resulting scrum did not go England's way and Scotland had another chance, but their efforts once again were undone at the breakdown.
England continued to show the greater invention in attack but a breakaway score from Hogg gave Scotland hope – Maitland's kick gathered by the rapid Hogg who scored in the corner with Laidlaw converting.
An error from Mike Brown then saw him penalised for holding on inside England's 22, handing Scotland an opportunity with a five metre lineout which they failed to make the most of.
England switched the momentum back their way and finished things off with a fourth try in the 80th minute, replacement Danny Care sniping around the fringes to leave the final score at 38-18.
Man of the match: Excellent handling, pace and kicking from Billy Twelvetrees on debut saw him cap it off with a try on debut.
Moment of the match: After being disallowed a third try, Ben Youngs had Scotland scampering and ultimately led to the score from Geoff Parling, putting the game out of reach.
Villain of the match: Scotland's 19 missed tackles meant that today was always going to be a struggle.
The scorers:
For England:
Tries: Ashton, Twelvetrees, Parling, Care
Cons: Farrell 3
Pens: Farrell 3
For Scotland:
Tries: Maitland, Hogg
Cons: Laidlaw
Pens: Laidlaw 2
The teams:
England: 15 Alex Goode, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Brad Barritt, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 Mike Brown, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Chris Robshaw (capt), 6 Tom Wood, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Joe Launchbury, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Tom Youngs, 1 Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16 Dylan Hartley, 17 David Wilson, 18 Mako Vunipola, 19 Courtney Lawes 20 James Haskell, 21 Danny Care, 22 Toby Flood, 23 David Strettle.

Cash Flow
Cash flow is your business oxygen. Without it, your business will suffocate and die. In this blog, and the next few, I want to share with you some ideas and ways to increase cash flow and profitibility.
The first thing to consider in the process is creating adequate and consistent cash flow. A cash flow crunch is usually the result of poor planning. All businesses have business cycles and they must be planned for. Starbucks knows that coffee sales go up in the winter and down in the summer. In the summer then, they introduce icy drinks to keep the cash flowing. The same should be true for you. You must know your business cycle, know when times should be good and bad, and plan accordingly.
So, another reason to create a budget (aside from the ones I mentioned in a previous blog) is to ensure that you will have adequate cash flow. I can't say this any more plainly: Without consistent, sufficient money to buy inventory, pay bills, handle taxes, handle payroll, and pay yourself, you will go out of business. Preserving and defending your cash flow therefore is critical.
Aside from creating a budget, here are three more ways to control your cash flow:
- Live by the Rule: Without your business oxygen, your business will suffocate and die. Cash flow is king.
- Create Cash Flow Projections: You need to know what will come in and when. Realistic cash flow projections are key. The question is: What do you expect your cash balance to be in six months? Always know that number.
- Keep the Pipeline Open: A client or customer you create today may hire you, but it may be a few months before you finish the work and send out a bill, and it may be another month or two before they pay. You have to keep creating clients and doing work today to keep the cash flow spigot open.
Always project three to six months ahead when it comes to cash flow. If you will need money in six months, you must create new business within the next three months. That way you can do the work or sell the product, bill it, and get it paid within six months.
If you do run into a cash crunch, there are two things you can do:
- First, receive your receivables. Allowing clients to pay Net 30 (30 days after purchase) is common business practice. But anything more than that is bad business. If you consistently have outstanding invoices, change your terms. Always remember that accounts receivables (AR) are the lifeblood of your business, representing your business' cash flow and liquidity. Getting your receivables current therefore can bring in immediate cash.
Your other option for dealing with a cash crunch, ironically, is to get a loan. Sometimes you simply need a short-term infusion of cash to keep things going until business picks up again. A prudent loan with a plan to pay it back can be a smart solution to a short term cash crunch .
Just how important is selecting the right price in your business? It could mean the difference between success and failure. The wrong price can put you out of business. Finding that magic number requires careful thought and planning.
There are basically two schools of thought when it comes to pricing your product or service (above your break-even point):
- If you are more interested in growing rapidly and capturing a larger share of the market (called, of course, your market share) then you need to price your goods as low as possible because the laws of economics dictate that a lower price will attract more customers. Volkswagen sells far more cars than Mercedes, but Mercedes makes more money, per car. If you are going for a broad customer base, then you need to figure out, often by trial and error, what price people will consider a bargain, and which still allows you to make a profit.
- However, if dominating the field is not your business model, if you are more interested in increasing profits, then you need to go with a higher price. It has to be near what the competition is charging yet high enough for you to live on. No, it's not always easy to figure out and yes it takes time.
Add into this equation the brand you are attempting to create. A big part of how people perceive your business is based on what you charge. Two lawyers may do the exact same sort of work, but the one who charges $350 an hour will be perceived as better than the one who charges $150 an hour. Yes, she will get fewer clients, but they probably are better clients.
Here is the analysis to go through to determine your fees and prices:
- Determine your break-even point. Use the formula above to calculate your break-even point and start there.
- Identify your customers and brand. Are your customers middle class or wealthy? Is your brand upscale, or not? Do customers want bargains or is quality more important?
- What is the competition doing? Again, people look for bargains. If you can afford to beat the competition, all other things being equal, you will get business.
- Don't set your price too low if you want to grow. The best source of cash for growth is a healthy gross profit margin.
- Test, test, and test some more. Finding the right price will require trial and error. Tinker.
Increasing Your Profit
There are three ways for you to improve your profits. First, you can sell more. Second, you can increase your prices. Third, you can reduce your overhead.
Sell More: Of course, the best way to increase your profit is to sell more. Easier said than done, you say? Maybe, but that sais, you probably sell more today than you did five years ago. The trick is to duplicate what you have done right, continue to do that, be sure to add some new profit centers.
Increase Prices: Many small business owners are afraid to raise their prices because they fear that they will drive away customers. That may or may not be true. When you use price as the primary gauge for your services, then other, maybe more important factors, get left out of the equation - things like quality, personal service, convenience, or speed.
McDonald's and Wal-Mart emphasize low prices because that is their business model, and unless it is yours too, then constantly worrying about fees and prices is likely a mistake.
Instead, you need to decide what it is you offer that is best, and emphasize that. If price is not critical, then raising your prices is a smart way to increase profits. Think again about Mercedes - it does not battle on the cheapest-is-best battleground. Rather, it emphasizes quality, and makes a handsome profit in the process.
Because you are your own boss, you set the prices. When is the last time you raised your prices? While you should be justly concerned that you may drive away clients if you do, it is still worth a shot. If your fears are valid, you can always lower your prices again. But if your fears are ungrounded, you will be giving yourself a well-deserved raise.
By the way, if yours is a service business, simply consider testing a price increase on a few customers first. If they do not balk, then you can roll out your price increases across the board, and if they do, you can always roll back.
Reduce Your Overhead: The tried and true way to increase profit margin is to decrease costs. When a Fortune 500 company lays off 1,000 employees, they are utilizing this strategy. Of course the risk is that by cutting costs you may cut into the very thing that brings in business. That is a real danger. And that is why firing people usually is not the answer. What is?
You have to figure out a way to reduce your overhead, and more importantly, to have employees care about keeping costs down, because it is often your employees who hold the key to cost overruns. If you can get them committed to saving, then staying consistently profitable is much more likely. Is it easy? No. But with good communication and the proper culture, it does happen, and often.
Paying Yourself
A question many small business owners have vis-à-vis profitability is how much they should be paying themselves. When figuring out how much to pay yourself, the most important thing to consider is your business' financial condition. Before you can decide how much money you can safely pull out of the business each month, you need to first figure out how much money your small business needs, because its needs come first.
So you need to calculate your break-even point and go from there. Knowing how much comes in and goes out allows you to figure out how much you can realistically afford to pay yourself. How much is that? Only you can say for sure after seeing your budget, but as you begin to formulate that number, keep the following three things in mind:
- Your business structure often determines when, and how, to pay yourself. As I have written here recently, are five forms your business can take: C corporation, S corporation, limited liability company (LLC), partnership, or sole proprietorship.
Only owners who have set their businesses up as C corporations are legally considered "employees" of the business. If your business is a C corporation, then you can pay yourself as you would every other employee - as part of normal payroll.
Many small businesses start their businesses as sole proprietorships or partnerships. Sole proprietors can pay themselves whatever they want; it depends almost entirely on how much profit you make, how much money your business needs, and thus what you can afford to pay yourself. Partners must consider the desires of each other when determining how much they will be paid.
The same is true for LLCs that have more than one owner, with one caveat: You can make a distribution of profits legally, only if doing so does not impair the solvency of the business.
- Avoid paying yourself as the money comes in. Many small business owners make this mistake. If they have a good month, they take the extra out of the business, if they have a bad month, they don't. It is imperative that your business checking account always has enough of money in it so that if something goes wrong, you can afford to fix it.
If you pay yourself whatever comes in every month, saving for a rainy day will be impossible. The smarter thing to do then is to come up with a figure to pay yourself that your business can live with, and pay that amount to yourself on a consistent basis.
- Consider the tax consequences. If you have a C corporation, when you pay yourself, the business is responsible for payroll taxes on the amount you get paid.
In the case of a sole proprietor and partnership, whatever profits the business makes "flows through" onto your personal income tax - your business' profits or losses are considered your personal profits or losses. Partners and sole proprietors are also responsible for the self-employment tax, which runs about 15 percent. Remaining profitable takes constant attention to detail. Keeping track of your margins and then increasing business or reducing costs as necessary is what is required.

Living with Food Allergies
Answers to Questions You May Not Have Thought to Ask
by Scott H. Sicherer, MD
If you have a fish allergy, it is possible to enjoy fishing by taking a few precautions.
How much food needs to be eaten
to trigger a reaction?
The amount of food that can trigger a reaction depends on an individual's sensitivity. It is not easily predicted by any simple tests. For some people, trace amounts that are not easily visible to the naked eye may cause symptoms, and for others, a meal-size amount of a food or more may be required to trigger a reaction. Your doctor may be able to assess your level of sensitivity based on your history or your response to a feeding test.
Can smelling a food cause an
allergic reaction?
Yes, but this type of exposure is unlikely to cause anaphylaxis.
When can smelling a food cause an
allergic reaction?
When the protein from the food is distributed into the air.
Under what circumstances would food proteins become airborne?
This most often occurs from heating, such as in cooking. For example, the steam from scrambling eggs or frying fish and the vapor from boiling or frothing milk can carry proteins into the air. Another way proteins can get into the air is when the food is in a powdery form and gets disturbed, for example, when preparing foods with wheat flour, powdered milk, or dried egg powder. Last, manipulations of a food might spread some proteins into the air nearby, for example, when peeling an orange or cracking peanuts.
In what settings might there be an abundance of food proteins in the air?
Examples include occupational settings, such as a bakery or food-processing factory; markets where a high concentration of the food is being processed or heated, such as a seafood market; and food stands or kitchen locations where foods are being heated, such as roasting nuts, or frothing milk at a coffee shop.
Is smelling a food likely to cause an allergic reaction?
Rarely. Most smells from foods are due to organic compounds and no appreciable proteins. For example, the smell of peanut butter is not from any significant protein in the air. Odors from foods that are not being actively heated are unlikely to expel any appreciable allergenic proteins.
What kinds of symptoms might happen from airborne food proteins?
The symptoms would be similar to those from allergens such as pollen and animal dander. Namely, people may experience itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose, and for people with asthma, a cough or wheeze.
Although every allergen is in the store, you're not likely to experience an allergic reaction merely from shopping.
Can touching a food cause an
allergic reaction?
Yes, but anaphylaxis is unlikely.
What kinds of symptoms might happen from touching a food?
The most common skin symptoms are red blotches, hives, and itchiness. But touching the food does not usually cause symptoms. The skin barrier prevents the proteins from reaching the immune system. Younger children are often more susceptible to skin reactions from direct contact, especially if their skin barrier is compromised by eczema rashes. The eyes are also sensitive to allergens, so an allergen from the fingers rubbed into the eyes can result in significant redness and swelling. Can a severe reaction happen from touching or smelling a food?
Rarely. If a person with asthma breathes in a large inhalation of a food allergen, he or she might experience a significant asthma attack. If a large area of abraded skin is exposed to an allergen, there may be more absorption, leading to stronger reactions. However, these are unusual circumstances. The primary concern about casual exposure to a food is transferring the food from the fingers into the mouth.
What are some surprising mistakes
that have led to allergic reactions?
Studies have shown that sometimes parents or other family members fed an allergen purposefully to a child with allergies, or allergic individuals purposefully ate foods they were allergic to, resulting in reactions. The reasons for this include curiosity, thinking a small amount would be OK, and testing to see if the allergy had resolved. If you are unsure you have an allergy, always discuss this with your doctor before trying an allergen at home. Teach caretakers to do the same. Can a person with a tree nut allergy be near oak trees with acorns?
Acorns are tree nuts, and they might be allergens if eaten, but they are too sour to eat, so there is no literature about reactions from eating them. Like other nuts, it is not likely that touching them would result in any significant allergic reactions.
Can a person with a seafood allergy
swim in the ocean?
Yes. I am not aware of any reports of a person being allergic to seawater based on an allergy to fish or shellfish. This is ably true for several reasons. The dilution of proteins in the ocean is tremendous. The concentration of allergenic proteins in the water becomes irrelevant. Second, the allergenic proteins in fish or shellfish are muscle proteins that would not be directly leaching into the water.
Can a person with a fish allergy
own pet fish?
Yes, since the allergenic proteins are inside the fish and are not being eaten. However, the fish food is often made of fish and shellfish. If you are handling the food, minimize skin exposure by tapping the food into the water from a cap or container and washing your hands afterward. The main risk here might be rubbing the fish food on your hand into your eye, causing swelling.
Can a person with a fish allergy
go fishing?
Yes, although handling the fish or handling parts of the fish after cleaning could irritate the skin because of localized allergic reactions. The main risk would be of skin or eye reactions, and possibly ingestion reactions if there is transfer to the mouth. It is possible to enjoy fishing by reducing direct handling of the fish, rinsing hands afterward, and wearing gloves when possible.
Can a person with a seafood allergy go to a dolphin show or swim with dolphins?
Dolphins themselves do not have allergenic fish proteins because they are mammals, but they are fed fish and swim in an enclosed area where dilution is less than that seen in the ocean. Therefore, there is some risk that the fish proteins they ingest are in the pool water and may cause symptoms for a person with a fish allergy. I have had patients develop hives from the water when splashed at shows.
Can a person with a food allergy swim in a pool with others who may have eaten the food?
When young children are snacking and swimming, there is some risk that they may share food, so supervision is needed. A better choice is not to eat while swimming. There is a risk of choking, as well! The small amount of residual allergens that might be in a mouth or on the body of a person who is swimming is unlikely to be relevant to the allergic swimmer because of the dilution effect of the pool. This risk might increase if people are constantly eating in the pool and spilling food and if the pool is small. However, in most situations, there should be no significant concern about reacting to residual food proteins in a swimming pool.
Can a person be allergic to seawater, pool water, or any water?
Yes, but usually this is caused by the temperature of the water. There is a problem called cold urticaria, where swimming in cold water, or coming out of a pool and getting chilled, causes hives. This is a kind of physically induced reaction where, we believe, the allergy cells respond to the change in temperature. It is rare for this form of reaction to progress beyond the skin. Antihistamines are often used for treatment. There is another rare illness, called aquagenic urticaria, where water of any temperature on the skin causes hives, but the person can still drink water.
Can tiny shrimp (copepods) in drinking water cause an allergic reaction?
Get ready to become a little grossed out. Yes, there is a microscopic animal related to shrimp that lives in freshwater and is allowed to remain in safe drinking water, especially from sources in geographic areas that have excellent natural water available for drinking. When sources of natural drinking water exceed government standards, the water is unfiltered, leaving these microscopic animals behind. No harmful effects have been related to these creatures. Presumably, if they have shellfish-relevant proteins, there is too little to trigger a reaction based on their small size and dilution effects of the otherwise safe and clean drinking water. Thus, they seem not to be a concern. If you are concerned, a home water filter could remove them.
If a cow, pig, or chicken is fed allergens, such as peanut or soy, can I be allergic to that animal's meat?
This should not be a concern, because the animal's meat proteins do not change based on its diet. It does not have these food proteins within its meat.
Can a person with a food allergy go shopping in a supermarket?
Although every allergen is in the store, it is not likely that allergic reactions would be elicited merely from shopping. Still, there are a few things to consider. Before seating an allergic toddler in a shopping cart, it is prudent to wipe the surfaces since it is likely that the child might suck on the handle bar or other surfaces. If a person has a shellfish allergy, it may be prudent to avoid the area where seafood is being steamed, as the seafood proteins may be forced into the air transiently.

Towards Universal Fiduciary Principles
Tamar Frankel
Boston University School of Law
February 22, 2012
Boston Univ. School of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 12-09
This Article focuses on unifying fiduciary law in Civil Law and the Common Law systems. The problems that fiduciary law addresses are similar throughout history and in all societies. However, the legal systems which address these problems differ. While in the Common Law fiduciary law is founded on property law, in the Civil Law similar fiduciary principles are found in the category of contract. However, the reach and basis of contract law in each system differ. Common Law judges tend to strictly enforce the parties' contract terms while Civil Law allows for far more judicial discretion to impose fairness principles on the parties' contract terms. This Article offers a number of ways in which the two systems of law can coincide and concludes and suggests by-passing the differences between the two systems by focusing on the results reached in each and at the same time following the models of dual systems.

About Smiley Library
In 1927-28, Cupples Hall was converted from a men's dormitory to a library and the book and periodical collections were moved from Science Hall (now T. Berry Smith Hall). By this time the library had grown to approximately 20,000 volumes and it had run out of space on the third floor of Science Hall. The conversion from a dorm was made possible by a gift from Mary L Pollard of Carthage, Missouri, in honor of her nephew, George M. Smiley, a Central College graduate of 1881, and Adjunct Professor of Greek and Latin, 1881-85. It was considered a state-of-the-art facility with 3 or 4 reading rooms and a self-contained steel stack area to house the books and bound periodicals.
The next major improvement in the library's facilities was the completion of a new addition in 1969 that doubled the size of the library. At first, almost the entire operation of the library was moved into the new three-story addition, with Cupples serving as an annex. Primarily for security reasons, in the 1990s the main entrance and the circulation offices were moved back to the original entrance in Cupples Hall.
After moving into the new building it was decided to begin the process of changing the classification scheme for monographs from Dewey Decimal (DDC) to Library of Congress (LC). This conversion was finally completed in 1995.
The card catalog was automated in 1991, using the Dynix system. In 2001-02, Smiley Library launched its present web-based automation system, Quest, as a result of its membership in the Missouri Bibliographic Information User System (MOBIUS). Students and faculty can now request books online and have them delivered in just a few days.
Today, Smiley Memorial Library currently maintains a print collection of over 80,000 cataloged volumes, with additional materials in the archives and rare books divisions. The current periodical collection contains about two hundred titles. There are over forty computer workstations, a PC lab, scanners, digital cameras, and other multimedia equipment available. The library currently subscribes to 20 databases, available to local and distance learners. The lobby/entrance area has been refurbished into a welcoming and comfortable place for students to relax with a cup of coffee and a good book.

More importantly, Phylets allow you to go beyond the typical Java simulationby creating applications that require active participation from thestudent. Students can be asked to analyze motion using parameters thatmust be inferred from "measurements" taken from the computerscreen.
The authors have recently published a bookthat provides a wealth of tutorial and pedagogical information.
Technical Remarks:
Getting started with your first Physlet application can be a bitdaunting. The very best approach is to copy the source (just right-clickon the browser screen) from an application you want to use. You candownload the java archives (jar files) if you want to host the application onyour server.
Most folks with just a bit of programming background will find it easy to modifyexisting scripts to produce customized applications. The Physlet book andthe Physlet website have tons of example script to start with.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
Some of the dignitaries in attendance were Gary Herbert, Lt. Gov. of Utah, Kay McIff, Utah State Representative, David Hansen representing Senator Orrin Hatch, and Tim Sheehan representing Senator Bennett. Most of these Salt Lakers mentioned they were glad to be out of the smog along the Wasatch front and into the clear sunny air of Emery County.
The meeting was opened by Bill Dellos with a welcome to the assembled crowd. Castle Dale Third Ward Troop #315, Doug Weaver, Scout Master, presented the flag of the United States and Pledge of Allegiance. After the buffet breakfast, the guest speakers explained their recent activities that would effect the State and Emery County.
Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert reported that Gov. Jon Huntsman was progressing in his efforts to grow the economy of Utah with the help of Republican legislators, especially in rural Utah. The party principles are guiding the Republicans allowing the free markets to work, taxes are cut, revenues are up significantly, debt is being cut, more people have jobs, unemployment is down, in October the state wide unemployment rate for Utah was 2.5 percent, it is now down to 2.3 percent. In some Utah counties the unemployment rate is below 2 percent and Utah is considered one of the financially best run states in the United States.
Some people on the other side of the aisle are saying we need to change the direction we are going. What direction do they want to go?
Lt. Gov. Herbert reported that Gov. Huntsman appreciates the support of the Republicans throughout the state. He also said "I appreciate the Republican party principles, capitalism, free markets, local government, individual responsibility and economic development. We have good Republican leadership with some of the best men in the state working to make Utah even better for Utahns."
Lt. Gov. Herbert mentioned each of the county elected officials and how much he appreciated the good work that they were doing. He also mentioned how he much he appreciated Brenda Dugmore, Clerk/Auditor and her work with the recent successful election.
This year the largest ever amount of money will be added to public education ($300 billion) and transportation ($600 million) this will happen along with the second largest tax cut in the states history.
The years before Gov. Huntsman's administration took over, the state spent $65 million a year on roads and highway construction. This year the transportation budget will be $600 million for roads and highway construction.
The economy is growing at record rate. The fastest areas of growth in the economy are construction, mining, natural resources, and manufacturing. The slowest area of growth in the economy is government. Tax cuts do grow the economy and provide additional revenue for the state. We have a fiscally responsible government in Utah.
State Representative Kay McIff discussed the challenges of a State legislator, when there are more than 1,000 bills to consider with solutions looking for problems. With that many bills it is hard to know all about each one of them. However when phone calls, letters and emails are received that focus on a particular bill, then those bills are looked at carefully.
The biggest and most trying issue this year is that of education. In the area of education $300 billion is being added to the budget. We are losing teachers to other states. Even with scholarships that have pay back obligations, which require an agreement, upon obtaining a teaching certificate, the teacher would teach in Utah schools. However almost one third of the teachers choose to pay back the state in cash and work in other states for a higher salary.
Rep. McIff said, "The most divisive issue is the school voucher bill which passed by one vote." He then went on to explain why he voted against the school voucher bill. He explained the argument of providing competition in the field of education. Then he went on to explain, in those areas where private schools are competing with public schools, the private schools take the best and brightest students and when they have a difficult student they send that student to a public school. Because the public school has constitutional duty to take everyone and is subject to the mandate "No Child Left Behind." The public school is not allowed to pick and choose whom they will educate. That is not the way the free market works.
Concurrent college credits while going to high school are helping many students and Utah State University will be offering higher division or four year college courses at Snow College and the College of Eastern Utah which will lead to four year college degree. That allows us to better utilize those facilities.
Natural resources of Utah such as water is desired by Las Vegas, Nev. and more specifically water from the Snake Valley on the Utah and Nevada border. The legislature as proposed to allocate $2 million to drill wells to monitor the water table level around that area. This is an issue because water does not recognize state boundaries.
The state land issues involving the Grand Staircase Monument and the loss of lease revenue from the school sections in the Grand Staircase Monument is again being looked at.
Rep. McIff discussed briefly the centrally assessed properties such as the power plant in Utah. In the past, the State Tax Commission sent notice of the assessment of property in counties so close to the deadline for opposing the assessment that the counties did not have time to respond. The legislature is requiring a 30 day notice to the county before the assessment decision is made for centrally assessed properties by the State Tax Commission.
Rep. McIff also discussed SR-10 and commented on the ruts in the road. He said he felt like he could put his car on auto pilot, drive in the ruts and relax."
Rep. McIff wants to continue to responsibly represent the people of Utah.
David Hansen representative for Senator Orrin Hatch thanked everyone for the support in the last election. He reminded the crowd that now was the time to start planning for the 2008 election.
Tim Sheehan representing Senator Bennett said, "The Senator will still be able to accomplish many things as the ranking minority member on the Appropriations Committee, the Rules Committee, and the Banking Committee. He is concerned about how to manage the growth in Washington County. He continues to work to find solutions for Social Security."
Emery County Commissioner Drew Sitterued updated the crowd on the progress of the proposed swimming pool. He said the architect has completed the newest drawings and those drawings can be seen in nearly every office the county building.
Emery County Republican Party Chairman Bill Dellos felt this was a very successful Lincoln Day Breakfast.

ST. LOUIS -- The words trickle out of the mouth of St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright without the slightest hint of arrogance or bravado.
"When I take the mound, I consider myself the best pitcher in the league," Wainwright told USA TODAY Sports.
"I know there's some amazing pitchers out there, but in my mind, I can pitch with any of them. I don't need any verification or secondary pats from anyone else."
Wainwright, a devout Christian who is married and has three daughters, embodies the spirit of the Cardinals clubhouse.
You can be as gracious as you want to be, but once you put on that uniform, it's OK to believe that you're better than anyone else.
"If I don't believe that, I lose my edge," Wainwright said.
These days, there's no need for an explanation. Likely future Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux, who was with Wainwright in two spring training camps with the Atlanta Braves, says Wainwright has become one of baseball's most dominant pitchers.
Wainwright even has been on Maddux's fantasy league team.
"You saw him come up as a young player and were immediately impressed with his size and the way he threw the ball," Maddux said. "It's nice to see him use his talent to its fullest extent. You can tell he's still not content with who he is.
"He's always had good stuff, but after coming back from surgery, he knows all this stuff about pitching. It's a real good combo to have."
Wainwright, who finished third in National League Cy Young voting in 2009 as a 19-game winner and second in 2010 when he won 20 games, had Tommy John elbow surgery in 2011. Yet, while frustrated that he couldn't return to the same dominant form last year, he won 14 games despite never feeling quite right.
Now, his mind and body are performing optimally.
He's 4-2 with a 2.03 ERA this year, but another statistic speaks to the near-perfection he has achieved: 43 strikeouts, and three walks in a league-leading 44 1/3 innings. He became the first pitcher since 1900 to strike out at least 28 without a walk in his first five starts.
"I'm having more fun now than I've ever had pitching," Wainwright said. "I've evolved from being just a pitcher into being a much smarter pitcher. When I missed the whole year in 2011, I paid a ton of attention to what makes the best players the best and the best pitchers the best.
"I feel like I have more of a plan in place than I've ever had."
Wainwright, 31 and a native of Georgia, might create dance-and-handshake routines with veteran teammate Jake Westbrook before games, brag about his cooking exploits as a loyal viewer of Chopped on the Food Network and still cherish his autographed picture of Braves outfielder Sid Bream sliding home to win the 1992 National League pennant.
But this 6-7 ace is all grown up.
"I think he's pitching better than he ever has, unfortunately," Cincinnati Reds general manager Walt Jocketty, who acquired him from the Braves in 2003 while GM of the Cardinals, said with a laugh.
Jocketty traded outfielder J.D. Drew and catcher Eli Marrero to Atlanta for Wainwright, starter Jason Marquis and reliever Ray King. It might not have been Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio, but it's joining the conversation as being among baseball's most lopsided trades.
"When the trade first happened, it was devastating to all of us," said Trey Wainwright, 38, Adam's brother, a corporate attorney in Atlanta. "Every single night, at 7:35, we sat around and watched the Braves games on TV. When he was traded, it was such a hard pill to swallow."
The trouble with playing for his hometown team in Georgia, Adam Wainwright discovered, was that he was too busy being a fan.
He loved talking more about the Braves' glory days — and playing golf with Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz — than actually learning what made them great.
"I had a great situation in Atlanta," Wainwright said. "I grew up the biggest Braves fan in the history of the world. I'm not kidding you.
"Those guys were all my idols, but instead of sponging (baseball knowledge) off them, I was more interested in talking about the great moments in Braves history. I was like, 'Hey, do you remember when Sid Bream rounded third, sliding in safe ahead of Barry Bonds' throw in left field?' I didn't learn anything.
"It wasn't until I was traded and given a fresh start that I changed my approach."
Wainwright, with Chris Carpenter as a mentor, matured into a front-line pitcher with the Cardinals. In his lost season of 2011, he went to Busch Stadium every day.
He watches opposing teams' batting practice, trying to spot tendencies. He even writes down goals on a piece of paper before each start.
"I was given new life when I was traded and changed my approach to pitching," Wainwright said. "I did not understand what it took to be a professional pitcher. I learned that here. I made sure that I wasn't going to waste that opportunity again."
Ten years later, Wainwright is still here, and he's not going anywhere. Cardinals GM John Mozeliak shrewdly locked him up in March with a five-year, $97.5 million extension before he could test the free agent market this winter.
"You always hear that saying about grass isn't always greener on the other side," Wainwright said. "Well, I like the grass here just fine. In my mind, it doesn't get any better than this."

This was a favorite yaoi manga of mine because it was so much more than senseless man on man. It was extremely heartwarming and realistic, following two elementary school boys up until their old age. It made me laugh and cry, made me happy and frustrated.
Of course, there's the unavoidable explicit scenes but none of them are all the horrible (besides this one, pointless, filler chapter... /SHUDDER). I really enjoyed it as a whole and it inspired me to keep looking for GOOD manga that's wholesome and real. I enjoy the coin anime junk, of course, like FMA and Full Metal Panic but when you get a manga like this, it's good to just relax and enjoy a story that's thoughtful and REAL. The psychology of the characters is really believable and there's times when things don't go the way you want because, let's face it, that's how life is.
So, for you yaoi lovers, or for you people lovers, or both!, I suggest to you "Complex". It can be found on Mangafox for sure but I'm guessing it's in other places as well. Enjoy!
Summary from Baka-Updates:
This is a story about two friends, from nearly the beginning to almost the end of their lives, who happen to love each other. It also explores the life of a child from one of them.
Tatsuya and Shinozaki are in 5th grade and their music teacher is a perverted pedo. One day the music teacher has a request for Yumi, a girl who uses him to get expensive gifts. He wants her to get Tatsuya into the music room so he can be with him. Shinozaki recently confessed his feelings for Yumi and she decides to use him as bait to get Tatsuya to go to the music room. Shinozaki and Tatsuya's future does not look good...

Six minutes per game
Jonathan Willis
June 23 2013 08:06AM
There's a theory out there - and it's one I'm often reminded of by readers - that the ultimate fourth line in the NHL is a crash-and-bang group. The idea is to load it up with guys who can skate and hit (and ideally fight) and let them skate around for six minutes or so causing mayhem to help tilt the physical scale, and not have them worry so much about anything else.
Personally, I think it's a terrible idea, but I've never really explained why.
The Trouble With Hitting
A hit statistic records more information than is always realized. Hits are generally seen as a measure of physical aggression, but they're also a measure of puck possession - when a hit is thrown, it means that the player making the hit doesn't have the puck. In other words, a team that hits a lot typically does so because a) they're physical (which is good) but also b) they don't have puck possession (which is bad, since having the puck is almost always better than not having the puck). Tyler Dellow talked about this in relation to the Boston Bruins the other day:
One of the things that we talked about was the idea that the Bruins are a big, bad team. I'm kind of skeptical. When I looked at hitting and getting out-hit earlier this year, the B's weren't a team that really tended to out-hit their opposition last year – if you don't want to get hit a lot, play a really good team that has the puck more than you.
Of course, everybody is going to not have the puck for a portion of the game - and when the other team has the puck, hammering them is a good way to go. Boston's good at it - but Boston only ranked 16th in road hits this season because they generally also have the puck a lot more than the other team does. So being a top team in hits, as a general rule, suggests the team probably isn't very good.
The Fourth Line
When we take that information and apply it to the fourth line, the results are obvious: putting together a line composed entirely of players like Ben Eager and Mike Brown and Theo Peckham (when people suggest moving him to forward, they often have this concept in mind) and the like means ceding puck possession to the other team. There's a reason that Zack Stortini's best games in Edmonton generally happened when he was the least talented player on his line - there's a place on almost any team for a guy that can hit and will fight as long as he can play a regular shift, but there aren't generally places for three of them.
It's a black and blue and red line: the other team's fourth line and third defence pairing may be bruised and battered, but the goal light is only going to be triggered in the Oilers' end of the ice. (Incidentally, that's another problem with the concept: a player like Jonathan Toews doesn't run scared from a physical fourth line because, if by some chance he happened to take the ice against them they'd spend the whole shift running around in their own end. Mostly though, the guys they're hammering on the other team are guys that play on depth lines.)
The flip side is the 'that's why they only play six minutes a night' argument. But there's trouble there, too.
Six minutes represents 10 percent of the hockey game. Last year, the Oilers averaged 2.56 goals per game and 2.73 goals against per game. The two numbers aren't directly comparable because special teams ice-time leads to more goals than even-strength ice-time, but what would a 10 percent boost in goal scoring done for the Oilers? Aside from the far ends of the NHL scale - the really good and the brutally bad - parity means there isn't a lot of gap between the 20 or so teams in the middle. People like to say 'if you're trying to fix the fourth line, you probably have a pretty good team' but it isn't really true because at a team level winning or losing comes in the margins. Being just a little bit better matters a lot - and building a fourth line that bleeds goals and takes penalties, even only for six minutes per night means the team is just digging itself a hole they need to make up somewhere else.
That's before even getting into other apsects of the idea - that you might need that fourth line to play hockey at some point. The idea that Boston has the best fourth line in hockey is often raised by hockey commentators, but when Jonathan Toews went down in game five of the Stanley Cup Final, look who Chicago had on the ice in the final minutes with a one goal lead on the line:
Fourth-liners like Michael Frolik and Viktor Stalberg and Marcus Kruger all played in the dying moments of one of the most important games of the year. Is it even possible to imagine a coach willingly plugging Mike Brown or Ben Eager in those minutes if injury intervened? It's an extreme example, but that kind of depth can matter a lot at critical moments.
The point basically boils down to this: winning is very hard in the NHL, and it's a foolish team that intentionally puts itself in a hole for the sake of adding toughness at the bottom end of the roster.
Recently around the Nation Network
The Toronto Maple Leafs are rumoured to be chasing Jonathan Bernier, and at Leafs Nation Cam Charron thinks that's a bad idea:
That said, if the Leafs want him to be a starter and Bernier will only play if he's a starter, that makes no sense. The Leafs have a guy who can capably start, and there's no objective evidence that exists that suggests Bernier would be better at this point. He may be, but there is a long list of teams who made huge deals for a big-name goaltender and it came back to bite them down the road.

Does anyone know the legitimacy of these Zack Smith/Ales Hemsky trade rumors?
June 23 2013, 03:24PM
@hfp I can confirm it's a legitimate rumour.
Zack Smith would be a downgrade from Horcoff as a third line center. If there's nothing else coming back edmontons way. MacT's first trade = Fail
Oiler Domination To Follow
Smith for Hemsky, Phaneuf for Gagner would instantly improve team toughness.
Stafford, Phaneuf, Smith, Belov, and possibly Lindholm would make us big enough to compete in the new division next year.
June 23 2013, 04:36PM
There a too many question marks hanging on Hemsky. Injuries, offensive ceiling, age, contract length. It's a deal that could go either way. Hemsky could crash and burn or even just sizzle and then leave and the Oilers could have a great 25 year old 3rd line center locked in for four years. Or Hemsky could light it up and Smith could be a fourth liner.
Well lets look at that CD.
Injury status tells us his ankle is healed, his shoulders are repaired, he played most of last season so I think it's fair to say injuries are a past problem.
His offensive ceiling is almost a PPG player. If he's half that he's still double what Smith will bring.
I'm not sure why contract length is an issue? If he's traded and signed good, if he produces for OTT that's a win, if not he's a one year contract OTT can trade or walk away, very low risk.
Finally age.......he's 28?
Hemsky for Smith straight up his robbery.
Naw, Zack Smith is an upgrade to Smithson or Horcoff, he fights hits and is hard on the puck, does a lot of the little thing right that you haven't seen done in years here IMO.
However, if this trade goes through for a Hemsky for Smith then we just got ripped off.
I have to think at the very least a second coming back.
I think a conditional 2014 2nd pick coming back based on either Ottawa re-signing or number of games played next year.
As per CBC's Friedman: Shawn Horcoff allowed to contact other teams about a trade.
Well, at least, the ball is rolling. Lets see what shakes.
Just letting Shawn know how truly bad his contract is.

First off, he's 29 and will be 30 when the season starts. And the possibility exists for him to be a player Ottawa would like to sign but he opts for free agency because he hasn't had a shot at free agency and as he is getting older this will be his last shot to cash in on the best deal he can get.
We have no idea if his ankles and shoulders are strong as ever or liable to break. I think Hemsky's years of PPG are behind him. If everything goes right for him I would say 65 points tops. Which is good but again he could opt for free agency and Ottawa traded away a young centre entering his prime for one year of a player.

I would like to see more come back (obviously) but Hemsky for Smith is a deal that could go either way. There are a ton of unknowns for both players.

@hfp I can confirm it's a legitimate rumour.
Bob Stauffer @Bob_Stauffer 2h
Being asked about Hemsky to Ottawa rumours. At this time not a likely scenario. Hemsky's value should increase a week into free agency

Do you think he Oilers are trying to put stuff out there to get teams in a bidding war?
Kind of reminds me of last years draft, Tencer and Stauffer going off on how the Oilers are taking Murray.

Good point, if this does shake lose then I can see a conditional pick coming back.
Oiler Domination To Follow
2013 Oilers
Hall Hopkins Eberle- Penner Lindholm Yakupov- Paarajvi Smith Stafford- Smyth Belanger Brown-
Phaneuf Petry- J Shultz N Shultz- Smid Belov
Defence looks bigger, stronger and more well balanced. Center position is weakened and I just put Penner on the second line lw slot for kicks. I'm sure it will get a reaction.
Interesting arguement, strong points in a non cap world. To win the fourth line has to play 10%ish of the game but be paid about 6% of the cap. The best teams seem to have top 6 forward or top 9 fowards playing powerplay and PK. So what is the role for the fourth line? Interesting argument on puck possession, but since it is easier to control the puck in non dangerous non scoring portions of the ice is this really good measurement. What is six minutes a game, about 7 or 8 shifts. What impact is a poor $1.2 M player going to make?
Phaneuf is a a bad idea, seriously, a washed up ex flame. who is zach smith, I would be totally disapointed in these choices. if true i hope im wrong, but this stinks of desperation.
Phaneuf for anything more than a bag of sticks and tickets to the Eskimos would be an error of grandiose proportions. He's a poor leader, doesn't score, telegraphs his big hits and is generally over-rated.

Well, thank goodness those rumours turned out to be nothing but hot air. Let Hemskys deal wait till mid July and try and create multiple offers if possible, that is, if he's still here and wasn't used to move up in the draft.
Rather odd to see these two long serving Oilers dumped this way. Their departures have a Souray Light tone to them.
Seamless offense from all 4 lines, and seamless defense from all 4 lines.
There should be as much parity as possible system and execution-wise from all 4 lines.
Or you can assign specific different System roles and execution to each of your 4 lines , or as Dallas seems to be hinting at doing you can teach all 4 lines multiple system tactics and adjust them all at once.
Teaching multiple Systems as opposed to simply the singular NewAge Hockey System to achieve this Dynamic Adjustment ability is less than optimal .
I dont believe this method and approach can be dominant consistantly and produce consistant winning results without a specific and concrete "single" System Template based on a very high degree of superior Intuitive input, or a pure and natural Intuit running the show.
Trying to utilise a multiple System approach is not exactly a new concept. NHL teams have always searched for this Holy Grail dynamic, but it takes a New Age Hockey System to provide this influence on ONE System Template thereby reducing the cerebral volume the roster needs to absorb, manage, and execute. This inevitable player cerebral overload is the reason why this approach is basiclly ignored historiclly.
Getting them in better shape so they can process MORE cerebrally late in games when they are tired so they can accomodate multiple System inputs from the bench is , ha ha ha, original, but it just moves the challenge around, camoflages the issue, if the players cant handle the cerebral volume required to execute this approach then the NHSs single low maintenance Template is still needed.
If this new approach fails it will be strike three, first Darkhorse, then Krueger, and now we will see a "multiple system" approach, two of these attempts have not replicated the NHSs influences yet and I dont believe our latest ideology will do much better. LA has one Cup, Chicago has number 2 both using limited NHS data, what the hell is wrong here?
Heres a taste of the NHS, all Boston needs to do is drive the puck all the way to the net instead of trying to finesse it.
Make a slap pass from up high or whatever and have the first pass initiate the charge to the net, not a shot, a charge. Stop using your size in only a defensive manner and get some penaltys called for you, Chicago cannot stop the big bodies if they take it to the bucket but they can stop them using the boards and better system defense if you piss around at all, admit their system is sharper because it is an NHS influenced Adjusted-Hybrid and it is superior.
Chicago is giving Boston the perimeter enough to draw the puck out of them quickly after a shot from up high.
Get the bodies moving right to the net from everywhere, just keep a man back to cover deep, , it is the same idea as the Tactical Shooting Program, just take it in hard the same ways consistantly for 60 mins looking for and creating cracks and you will dominate, but dont waffle do it for 60 full mins.
If Chicago is going to get possesion of the puck back it has to be after a charge to the net, NOT a perimeter shot, Boston MUST convert as many possesions into high % scoring chances instead of perimeter shots or they will be history. The outside shots give the Hawks puck possesion to fast, draw it out and hold onto the puck as long as you can on every shift.
If the puck rusher charges then changes his mind and trys a pass he will screw the cover man because if the pass is deflected or bobbled the opponents transition to offense will be very fast it is designed that way and you will get nipped.
I wanna see the Bruins making one fast lateral pass up high not off the rush but after the zone is gained and the Hawks start to set up, with the d-man recieving the puck charging in full speed over and over until the Hawks spread it out more and dont stop for 60 mins, make the Hawks drag the big men down as they pound to the net hard. Bring the rushing d-man in with an arm out inside and the puck outside so he can lean in and wont surrender it to the Hawks in the middle for a quick-strike transition, dont headman the puck or you will get stripped and defeat the purpose which is NOT to shoot but to take it right in every time.
This is the NHS advice, without the explanation. I wanna see a 7th game. The more hockey the better.
Game 6 for Boston is a game that must be won using the 6 minute, 4th line mentality of KISS and carry the mail in and hand-deliver it for 60 minutes from ALL lines.
Watch for it.For 60 minutes. Just like my template says. More completed net charges, fewer perimeter and overall shots due to reduced rebounds as the tender covers up in close, and less hits because they will have the puck more, and more goals will show up on the stats sheet for the Bruins if they follow the NHS advice and win.
