Skip to comments.Weiner Refuses To Pull Out Of Mayoral Race In Admission Sexting Continued After Resignation
Posted on 07/23/2013 4:02:05 PM PDT by RKBA Democrat
Typically we wouldn't note such tabloid gutter trash as the pilot episode to the upcoming reality show "In The Carlos Danger Zone with the Weiners", but since what is going on in the farce that is NYC's mayoral race is just another analogy for America's broken market, broken politics, broken morals and, ultimately, broken society, this deserves at least a few words, so here they are. Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress after being exposed for having a "sexting problem." As it turns out the Democratic mayoral candidate's sexting problem never went away, and continued well after said resignation with at least one young female, with whom he used the alias "Carlos Danger" and likely more. We learn all this because despite simple logic, Weiner decided to not only run for mayor but following today's revelations, will continue his run for mayor as he announced at a just concluded press conference. And the most inexplicable twist in all this: his wife was there beside him, supporting him and urging him on in the mayoral race.
From The Hill:
New York City mayoral candidate and former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday admitted to exchanging additional sexually explicit messages with a younger woman over the Internet well after an initial "sexting" scandal led him to resign in disgrace. In a dramatic press conference, Weiner's wife Huma Abedin stood by his side as he acknowledged his sexting problem was something the couple dealt with well after his summer 2011 resignation from Congress.
"Some of these things happened before my resignation, some of these things happened after," said Weiner, who added he was surprised more hadn't come out sooner.
Abedin, making her first comments to the press during Weiner's campaign, offered her full-fledged support and acknowledged his sexting continued after his resignation. "It took a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony," she said in a halting voice while reading a written statement. "It was not an easy choice in any way but I made the decision that it was wroth staying in this marriage. That was a decision I made for me, for our son, and for our family," she said.
"Anthony's made some horrible mistakes both before he resigned from Congress and after but I do believe that is between us and our marriage," she said. "We discussed all of this before Anthony decided he would run for mayor. So really what I want to say is I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him and as we have said from the beginning, we are moving forward," she concluded.
Abedin has worked for Clinton as far back as 1996 when she was a White House intern. Clinton once said if she had a second daughter, it would be Abedin.
When he answered questions on Tuesday, Weiner repeatedly insisted the sexting was behind him even as he was vague about when the behavior had stopped.
"I am prepared not to dispute anything that is out there but suffice it to say that people are out there saying things that are not true," he said.
"But that's not the point, I accept the responsibility for having these conversations with these people who I never met, with exchanging inappropriate things in the context of our marriage and that was a mistake and I bear responsibility for that," he continued. "
"That is behind me and we're trying to move forward and we recognize it's not going to be easy. We knew at the moment we got into this race it wasn't going to be easy, but I believe I believe this is an important thing to be doing," he said.
But didn't he say just that two years ago when he quit for the same scandal? Oh wait, like the economy, "this time it's different." At least he didn't blame his pathological addiction to showing off his assorted body parts on the weather.
As for Weiner, it is difficult to handicap if today's revelations have hurt of helped his mayoral chances. Since America got the president it deserves, one can only extrapolate that New York City will get the mayor it too, rightfully, deserves.
I wouldn't think this would impact the election for mayor. People in NYC never met a liberal with whom they disagree that much. But they do want the crime rate kept down, which they may fear Weiner can't do.
Maybe the Bobbit woman should visit him. If he lost his man part he wouldn't have anything to run on.
Democrat Political wives are POLITICAL WHORES.
No Weiner interruptus?
The real danger is the fact that the culture in America today is such that he is still a viable candidate. You can't cure that rot at the voting booth when that rot is what brings you to this point.
No early withdrawal for Wiener!
Moderate content warning for sexual humor, which is pretty silly stuff
I presume that Huma is still taking her orders from her girlfriend, Hillary.
I presume that means that Hillary thinks that Weiner will be a useful political ally in her coming run for the White House. I would hope she was wrong, but these days the Dems seem to win no matter WHAT they do.
Weiner calls for Viagra and Trojan to sponsor him.
It was safe sex. Online only. Anthony Weiner doesn't want to pull out. He's not finished yet.
Weiner won't pull out...
Just when you think politics couldn't possibly get nuttier...along comes Weiner...again....!
In the interview, his wife gave her him her full support. Of course, under Islam, Weiner is allowed four wives, so he's still under the limit, which is OK with his wife.
Weiner has embarrassed the Clintons again.
I'm surprised he hasn't wound up in some public park somewhere, having shot himself 5 times in the head with two different guns.
Our political system is very efficient in the sense that the politicos tend to reflect the underlying values of those who elected them.
Weiner blew it again and should pull out. He's had far too much exposure, and, while it's a small story, it's left him with an impotent campaign. He needs to take the problem in hand today, and come back later, when he has cleaned up his image.
Man's a walking talking innuendo.
Well, that was predictable.
Ann....seriously????? Look at that nasty Vitter's wife standing next to her dunce. I am so pissed that the voters did not get rid of him. Louisiana should be ashamed of themselves for not getting a better person at the primary.
My point exactly! Those of us that inhabit FreeRepublic are, unfortunately, an inconsequential minority. American public education, captured by the left, has served to put us there.
And NYC will most likely elect him.....they deserve what the get.
This society has devolved into nothing but smut and licensciousness.
Hey DU....Vitter was an EXCEPTION.....even YOU know this.
Why should he pull out.
It's New York, he has a good chance of winning. New Yorkers don't care if he sent a picture of himself in his drawers to women.
Quick! Somebody notify Sandra Fluke!!! She'll get on top of this!!!!
The thinking with democratic party candidates is that, if Clinton could get away with much bigger crimes, including sexual assault and lying to congress and America, somebody like Wiener should have easy sailing towards getting elected in a liberal town like NYC.
Also, Huma is just a democratic party political operative, and to her, and most liberals, the end justifies the means, and democrats will do anything to make sure that liberals win as many elections as possible, no matter how distasteful a candidate may be.
If Wiener were to get elected mayor of NY, Huma will stay at his side, but, if Wiener loses, she's gone. It's just politically expedient marriage for her and Wiener, and the marriage had no meaning from the get go.
Watch wieners poll numbers go up
Neither democrat politicians nor democrat voters have any morals. This will not be a problem for him.
How sad is that? Every time Weiner and Fluke get together, my federal tax liability would increase.
Well played.
Sad but true.
What! No electius interreptus?
Probably should be Carlos Halfcocked
If Screw York Chity votes for this trash they deserve said trash and all he brings down on em..... Low information dummy voters that even give this sort any serious consideration are domestic enemies of the worst kind.
Wonder how many minors he's exposed hisself to with his sexting hobby....?
Wouldn't want to be in those crosshairs ....
Agreed. His wife's response was disappointing. At least Hilary pretended to be annoyed.
Well done, LOL
I count 8. That makes you the wein... uh... winner!
Seriously? He kept doing it? Is he 15 years old?
To liberals, what's the big deal? Morals are relative; nothing is sacred; why be so judgemental? Sharpton and Rangle have done much worse than this and look where they are? Filthy rich with homes abroad and broads on each side.
I actually hope he is elected because I think of New York as what they think of us. We will have some comedic release as we watch it rapidly decay. As a Texan, I'm disgusted that lots of oil we produce and refine goes to the North East.
This man has an OBVIOUS problem and is NOT FIT for leadership.
get it? "Bang-kok" /rimshot
—— As it turns out the Democratic mayoral candidate's sexting problem never went away, -——
Who would have guessed?
Just further proof that politics and lust for power trumps any notion of love or morals for liberals. What a farce, including the sham marriage. If Abedin had any manners she'd dump the SOB, in fact, never "married" him in the first place.
"As a Texan, Im disgusted that lots of oil we produce and refine goes to the North East."
Y'know, there is a way for Texas to stop doing that.
Vitter was an EXCEPTION.
Ok Ann...if you think so. I could say Livingston and Jim Gibbons and many others. Both are guilty of cheating on wives and other sexual things. You call me DU...I call myself realistic and truthful. You should be trying to be the same.
Why should dems like Weiner and Filner (running for San Diego mayor)be prohibited from office over a little thing like sexual harassment! /dem thinking
Living proof that Politicians have no morals, not even shame.
Watch wieners poll numbers go up
Yep. The lower he goes, the higher he goes.

Using the Library Catalog—A Quick Reference [1]
This guide explains how to use various features of the library catalog. It covers searching from the 'Search' block on the left-hand side, placing and canceling holds, and renewing items.
Keyword Search
With this search you simply look for records containing the search terms you enter. You can limit your search to titles or author names (and more) by using the 'Search by' dropdown menu. You also can limit your search to a specific format such as book, DVD, music CD, or audio-book.
Finally, you can have your search results sorted alphabetically by author last name or title, by call number, by publication date, or by popularity.
Note: Popularity is determined by the number of other patrons placing holds and checking out a specific item within the past 120 days.
- Type a word or words in the search box. The catalog ignores words such as: and, the, on, an, a, of, for, to, by. It does this even if you use quotation marks. So, if you're looking for the title like 'On the Road' or 'To the Nines', perform an Exact Search instead.
- Use the dropdown menus to set any limits for your search.
Click the 'Go' button.
Entering Terms
To search for the plural and singular form of a word, add an asterisk (*) to the end of the singular form. For example, truck* will find truck and trucks.
To search for various forms of a word, add an asterisk to the shortened form of the word. For example, comput* will find computer, compute, computers, computation, and computerization.
Quick Search
This allows you to perform a quick search of the library catalog and limit your search to a specific format:
- Type a word or words in the search box.
- Limit your search to a specific format by using the 'Limit by' dropdown menu to select the type of material you want.
- Click the 'Go' button.
Exact Search
This search allows you to look for an exact title, title phrase, author, series name, subject, or subject phrase. Unlike a Keyword Search, an Exact Search will not ignore 'stop words' like: and, the, on, an, a, of, for, to, by and other common two- and three-letter prepositions. An exact title search for 'On the Road' will only display items with the exact phrase 'on the road' in the title.
- Type the title, title phrase, author, series name, subject, or subject phrase you are looking for into the search box.
- Use the dropdown menus to set any limit for your search.
- Click the 'Go' button.
Browse Search
This search allows you to browse a catalog index alphabetically by title, author, or subject heading. This type of search is particularly useful if you are looking for two-letter titles (like 'A.I.'), short titles containing common words (like 'Big'), or researching a subject area and want to narrow your search using Library of Congress subject headings. You also can perform a Browse Search by Dewey call number.
- Type the title, author, series, or subject term(s) into the search box.
- Define what is being searched for using the Search by dropdown menu.
- Click the 'Go' button.
If you are performing a subject search, the search results are Library of Congress subject headings listed in alphabetical order. Click on a subject heading to have the catalog display the titles associated with the heading.
Advanced Search
This search allows you to search for multiple keywords or keyword phrases within a variety of fields. It also allows you to use Boolean operators (AND, OR, and NOT) to refine your search. This is the most complicated search screen. Please talk to a reference librarian if you have any questions about how to take advantage of Advanced Search.
- Type a word or words into various search boxes.
- Use the dropdown menus adjacent to the search boxes to refine your search further.
- Connect your search terms by selecting AND, OR, and NOT from the dropdown menu.
- Click the 'Go' button.
Boolean SearchMore Search Options
Below the search boxes defining the various search choices—Keyword, Exact, Browse, and Advanced—are the words 'more search options.' If you open Search Options by clicking the link, you will see ways to further limit your search.
These search options allow you to limit your search:
- to a specific branch of the library
- by publication date
- to a specific material type (DVD, book, music CD, Book-on-CD, etc.)
- to a target audience (Juvenile or Adult)
- to a specific language (Spanish or English)
Viewing Search Results
After you perform a search, the search results will be displayed. The system may offer spelling suggestions at the top of the list. If there is only one result, that specific item record will be displayed. If there is more than one result, a list will be displayed. The list results include brief information about each item.
Below the description of the item is information about the item's availability: the number of copies of the title owned by the library and the number of copies currently on the shelf. Also included is the number of holds on the item.
On the right side are five links:
- Location/Availability—Shows number of copies owned, the number of copies on the shelf, the call number of the item, and where those copies are shelved within the system.
- More Information—Displays more detailed bibliographic information about the title. You will access professional reviews of the item, a short summary of the item's contents, a larger image of the cover, an author biography, the text of the first chapter or an excerpt, access to information about the item in the NoveList database, and a Librarian's View of the bibliographic information.
- Place Request—Allows you to place a hold on an item.
- An icon (book, CD, DVD), with the year of publication next to it, indicates the format of the item.
- Add to My list is the final link.
If all the copies of an item are checked out, you can place a hold on it. This puts your name on a waiting list. When your name reaches the top of the waiting list, the item you requested will be set aside for you and the library will notify you that the item is ready for pickup.
- Click on the 'Place Request' button. You must be logged into your library patron account to place a request for an item. If you are not, you will be prompted to enter your library card number and password.
- Your title's information will display along with your library card number. You will need to designate at which location (Drive-Up Window, Ellettsville Branch, etc.) where you want to pick up your item.
- Click the 'Submit Request' button.
Canceling Hold Requests
You can cancel hold requests for items you no longer need. This may be especially useful if you have placed the maximum number of hold requests (the limit is 50), and you want to delete a request so you can place another.
- Log into your patron account (make sure you're in the 'My Account' tab).
- Click the 'My Hold Requests' link.
- Click on the boxes next to the items that you want to cancel; a check mark should appear.
- Click the 'Cancel Selected' button at the bottom of the request list. The requests will be canceled.
If you want to cancel all of the requests you have placed, click the 'Cancel All' button to the right of the 'Cancel Selected'.

The San Rafael Back Country Horsemen answered the call of the Emery County Progress and Sun Advocate newspapers to leave no grave unadorned. The project recently concluded its fourth year. Back Country Horsemen chose three isolated grave sites to decorate.
The first was a baby's grave in Hambrick Bottoms on the San Rafael River, near the former town of Wilsonville, Emery County. The second was the monument to the deadman who was found in Deadman Canyon, near the Centennial Mine, in Carbon County. The third was the grave of Annabelle Marsing, who was buried on the Marsing Ranch overlooking the Price River, about 8 miles northwest of Woodside, Emery County.
Secretary/Treasurer of the club, Priscilla Burton said, "We enjoyed learning about the lives of these pioneers who paved the way for us. Their lives were so different 100 years ago, it makes one wonder what changes the next 100 years will bring.

The Chicago City Council Proceedings are the primary documents that record the business of the city. They include: petitions; ordinances; committee reports; reports on the city's infrastructure, such as the construction, maintenance and re-naming of city streets; and reports on issues concerning public health and safety. Information on a wide variety of topics fascinating to both historians and genealogists, including schools, jails, epidemics, animal control, wharves and docks, can be found in the Proceedings.
Unfortunately, because most of the Proceedings were not indexed, locating a specific name or event often requires a lot of patient reading. Because of the historical importance of these documents and the limitations in searching them in print format, the Newberry proposed that they be digitized as part of the CARLI Book Digitization Project mentioned in previous posts.
We are excited to report that the Newberry's proposal was accepted. In July, 177 volumes, covering 1865-1963 (including 12 separate bound indexes for the years 1929-1942) were carefully packed and shipped off in 74 boxes to be digitized. They are being made available on the Internet Archive, free to everyone interested in the history of Chicago.
Watch for our announcement when all of the Proceedings are "live"!

The not-so magnificent seven
Jonathan Willis
April 25 2013 09:56AM
With two games left in the season, the Edmonton Oilers can finish no lower than seventh overall in the pre-lottery draft rankings, and could finish as high as the second overall pick if everything breaks right (wrong?).
The Standings
Important games tonight include:
- Carolina vs. N.Y. Rangers
- Tampa Bay @ Boston
- Nashville @ Detroit
- Calgary @ St. Louis
Both the Lightning and the Predators can pass Edmonton with a win tonight. They're only a combined 4-13-3 in their last 10 but both clubs are coming off wins. Tampa Bay is a long-shot, having played last night and facing Boston tonight, but Nashville is rested and facing a tired Detroit club. Calgary and Carolina, meanwhile, can add some space to their leads on Edmonton.
The Prizes
From NHL Numbers consensus draft rankings, here are the top-12 players available; the Oilers will almost certainly be selecting one of them.
The Oilers would need some Steve Tambellini lottery magic to grab Seth Jones – not only the best player available but also the best fit for need – but there are a lot of players to like here. I admit I'm partial to Aleksander Barkov, a guy who plays a complete game and has size, speed and skill, but that's also because I'm more familiar with him than with the other prospects available here. The other big centre, Sean Monahan, likely also appeals to the Oilers, and of course the big defencemen group - Nurse, Ristolainen, Zadorov – all have a lot of appeal as prospects.

Players don't sign with Edmonton because its in Edmonton.
BPA got the Oilers in the mess they are in now despite having 3 first overall picks. Give your heads a shake "city of champions".
BPA got the Oilers into this mess?
Are you sure? The Oilers best players are the ones they selected and the players they could have chosen but did not are all worse than the guy they did.
Are you not, maybe, confusing the idea of choosing the best prospect in the draft with a complete and total failure to identify and bring in other talent from alternative sources like Free Agency of via trade?
Because its really easy to mix those up.*
*Actually not true
April 25 2013, 01:55PM
BPA has to mean not the best skilled player. It has to mean the best hockey player available. There is more to hockey than skill. Things like heart , toughness, grit and the fear of failure.
All things the Oilers now lack.
The Oilers lack that but it isnt coming from the Oilers' last 3 BPA 1st round selections.
Hall is a motor that never quits. Big kid who served a suspension for a check that crossed the line.
Yak is physical and plays with more heart and passion than anyone. ANYONE.
Nuge just played 90% of a season with a torn Labrum based on the hope that THIS squad could make the Playoffs. If that isnt tough then I must be missing something.
The Oilers got into trouble at the draft when they stopped taking BPA and started looking at Organizational needs. Mitch Moroz anybody?
I really am at a loss for people who think we drafted wrong. Seguin, though really good, is not Hall. This team needs a Hall way more than a tough centre. Hall brings so many other things to the table above Seguin it's not even a comparison. RNH over Landeskogg? comon, how is Landeskogg working out in Colorado? A team with another really good big two centre? Oh they are at the bottom again. Huh. And Yakupov for Murray? Murray was the most overrated player at the draft, and has already had shoulder surgery. A case could be made that Gal might have been the better choice, but that is one hell of a gamble with the first overall on a player that spent the previous season injured. I mean that would have taken some serious faith in Gal coming back, and I don't think anyone's crystal ball is that good. And Gal is only a better payer purely because the oil need a centre with size. Having said that, Yakupov is one of our more physical players. The kid is a poor mans Ovechkin with the way he plays, only without the attitude. Plus why draft Murray when we signed Schultz. Getting Yakupov and Schultz is, in my opinion a better combo then Murray. You think Schultz would have signed here if we just drafted Murray? Nope.
April 25 2013, 10:06AM
I've got this goofy feeling like the Oilers are going to finish 3rd and win the Lottery. Obviously they dont need to do that and hoping for it is completely selfish in a Karma sort of way, but the Oilers could be in 3rd VERY easily by the end of thursday night's scheduled games.
For the Record, I think 4th is very reasonable and Barkov would make me a very happy camper.
Alternatively, if the Oilers DO NOT win the lottery and choose to trade the pick I would be ok with it if the return was a legit top pairing Defenseman.
Did you forget to take your meds again?
It's is only noon you still have time today.

Players don't sign in Edmonton because Pronger wanted out. Then accused Oilers fans for burning his baby crib despite the rental company saying it never happened.
I was there. I lit the first match.
April 25 2013, 03:17PM
BOLD move alert....Oilers sign Legolie - Mac T "...we see Legolie as an upgrade to our goaltending going forward."
Question, Nishkinen, Barkov, Jones, and Mohnahan are gone. Do we take Druoin or Mckinnon, or do we grab a worse player with some size and let these two potential future stars fall to someone else?
The Oilers would be dumb not to grab either Drouin or MacKinnon if they had the chance. Take MacKinnon if you have the choice.
The Oilers are small and timid, but you don't pass on those players IMO.
Yea cause that strategy has always worked for us. BPA is a very subjective metric IMHO.
I would consider BPA with toughness and attitude being a very strong consideration.
I agree that there are some areas that need improvement with EDM's roster - it doesn't mean that picking the BPA has been the source of those problems.
I could see the oilers selecting 3rd on draft day. Would they pass on Drouin for Barkov? That is one tough choice to make. I would take Barkov ahead of Drouin.
I can't wait for the draft. I've always loved the prospect side of the game. Being an oiler fan it all fits together so nicely ;)
Oilers did a reasonable /acceptable of drafting since the rebuild , but have done a very unacceptable job of procuring an NHL core to supplement them . That is now stage two for MacT. to do respectfully . Drafting different than we did , would not have probably solved the bigger problem of a competent core .
April 25 2013, 02:59PM
Blood from a stone, how do you procure something when you clearly do not have the resources to procure it.
@george burnett
"Murray overated? You obviously have never seen the kid play"
I'm pretty sure nobody has seen him play an NHL game against NHL players, so until he does I find it absurd to compare him to a player who has played a full (albeit shortened) season in the NHL with reasonable success.
Funny how someone else's shiny toy always looks more interesting than your own.
I must admit, on one hand, I want the Oilers to win their last two because a guy like Hall that's carried this team on his back as best as he can deserves it. On the other hand, I'm all for drafting Barkov. There is a very very good chance he'll be gone before we draft at 5... at 4 he MIGHT be there.
Barkov is definitely the guy I want from this draft, assuming we can't get Seth Jones by moving up in the draft (which, really... any team would be crazy to move that #1 pick this year). Monahan would be a good consolation prize, but I still think its a consolation prize.
April 25 2013, 10:10AM
Is it time to put a bow on that second line center position?
If you're in MacTavish's (won the draft lotto) shoes Jonathan, would you take MacKinnon in that first overall spot. Seth Jones isn't likely to be the best D'man in this draft anyways.
If the Oil don't win the lotto, they should trade up to that probable second spot and get their guy.
Deadwood out, new life in. I heard The Sports Closet in the park is taking pre-orders on Shea Weber Oiler jerseys for the fall.
Seth Jones may be the best player and at a position of extreme need but he is not a player that Edmonton can use to solve their immediate problems.
If by some reason they lucked out with the lottery then they should be looking to move the pick.
Hell even at #7, if the value is there they should unload the pick.
Nichushkin has been ranked much higher on other lists. If he falls to us though, that could be the perfect partner for Yakupov. Russian, big, centre. Though I still think Barkov is the standout here, as he would make our nordic line a bit better then Lander.
Well here's hoping for four first overalls in a row and we get Jones, but if not him then one of Barkov or Nichushkin.
Oilers likely to garner 1-2 points in final 2 games and subsequently may finish in 7-8th position . If so , our draft could be in play if fab 4 and Nicushkin are gone , to acquire a star of note probably defencesively . Slepechev would be another 6-2 player we could get in second round with any luck . Remember , Detroit banner years carried 3 star Russian players of note . Yak it up boys .
From your list of six on down I,d prefer to trade for a star of note for center and/or defence .
Hmmm, trade the first overall to tampa for their first overall and oh, I don't know Ben Bishop? They get their defender they so badly need, we get our back up goalie to push Dubnyk, and we also likely still get our big centre depending on where Tampa's pick is.
Will anyone on that list drop their gloves to protect a team mate? The oilers are way to timid.
BTW, doing some more watching, here is the remaining schedule for teams in that bottom area:
Oilers: Away vs. Wild (very likely a loss) Home vs. Canucks (probably a loss) Predicted finish: 41 pts
Avalanche: Away vs Coyotes (likely a loss) Home vs Wild (likely a loss) Predicted finish: 37 pts (note though, if they somehow won these two and the Oilers lost their two, the Avalanche would finish ahead of Oilers)
Lightning: Away vs Bruins (likely a loss) Home vs Panthers (likely a win) Predicted finish: 42 pts
Predators: Away vs Red Wings (likely a loss) Home vs Blue Jackets (likely a loss) Predicted finish: 41 pts
Hurricanes: Home vs Rangers (likely a loss) Away vs Penguins (likely a loss) Predicted finish: 42 pts
Flames: Away vs Blues (could go either way) Away vs Blackhawks (likely a loss) Predicted finish: 42 pts
So by my guesses, I have the Oilers likely finishing 4th last. But there's possibility they could finish even 2nd last if they really blow it and Colorado wins both theirs, and TB gets at least 1 point in their remaining 2 games (could be likely).
I wouldn't be surprised if the Oilers finish 3rd, with Panthers locking up #1, and the Avs #2. But it will be hard for the Preds to jump ahead of the Oilers, I figure.
I don't think the Oilers will get any points vs. the Wild or Canucks though.
Barkov or bust!
April 25 2013, 10:37AM
Whoever we pick better not be on the opening-day roster in the fall. Allowing prospects a year or two getting bigger, stronger and used to North America (as the case may be) is what good teams do. MacT needs to replace 3 centers this summer - Lander counts as a replacement if he's ready and willing to play 4th line minutes.
Ott and Vermette are my wish list for the 2C and 3C - size, grit, not a complete loss offensively and both over 56% on faceoffs. And they have a lower cap hit than the Gagner/Horcoff combo. Vermette has 2 years left on his deal and Ott 1 - perfect timing to bring Barkov/Monahan along slowly and properly.
Flames won't win any more. They suck on the road.
Hopefully NASH can squeak out an overtime loss.
The Oilers will screw everything up and win both of the remaining games. Calgary will win the Lottery. I bet the Oilers are going to trade down in the draft to grab Lazar much higher than he should go anyway.
I'm still frustrated about that season finale win a few years back over Calgary that put the Oilers in 6th position, only for the 5th position Blackhawks to win the lottery and get Kane. I wonder if they would have won the Cup with Gagner instead?
April 25 2013, 10:48AM
Listen ppl we are not unloading any top 10picks thats just stupid in my eyes. the oilers should pick in this order if they finish in bottom 5 or better. valeri nichushkin, Darnell nurse, Rasmus Ristolainen than Sean Monahan. I like Darnell Nurse hes a mean in your face sob. hey can move the puck well and hes tough as nails. oilers need players like that!! On a side note NFL DRAFT DAY BABY!!!! GO RAIDERS!!!!!
April 25 2013, 10:50AM
I pray it aint so. lazar is not even in my top 15 on my list!!!
Question, Nishkinen, Barkov, Jones, and Mohnahan are gone. Do we take Druoin or Mckinnon, or do we grab a worse player with some size and let these two potential future stars fall to someone else?

druoin and mckinnon will be gone before we can get our hands on them. i have a feeling though more ppl are leaning towards barkov the mckinnon. but if i had to choose im taking mckinnon. straight work horse. him and taylor hall on the same line would be a crazy first line for years to come!!!
What about trading a player ( Sam Gagner) and a second round draft choice for another first round pick ........in the top 10?
We would have some real options then but would need to rely on the UFA's to round out the team.......risky strategy but the draft seems to stronger than some have suggested.
April 25 2013, 11:05AM
Ryan Clowe.
Absolutely to Ryan Clowe. If they don't make a pitch they don't know what they're doing. Which is up for debate either way.
Complete Speculation: MacT trades Gagner and the Oilers 1st (Barkov/Monohan/Nichushkin) for Simmonds and Philly's 1st (Lazar). Who wins?
We could also lose one position in draft order if another club above us wins lottery don't forget . Nicushkin will not go in top 4-6 unless it is the Oilers . All other bottom clubs unlikely to want to wait on him ! It could end up being a waisted pick if he prefers to stay in homeland for a long time as well . We can wait longer than the others from what I see . Maybe he can tutor Zharkov in the interim ?
BPA. Always BPA.
Yea cause that strategy has always worked for us. BPA is a very subjective metric IMHO.
I would consider BPA with toughness and attitude being a very strong consideration.
I could be wrong, but I've generally seen Nichushkin listed at left wing, not centre.
Nhl.com has him listed at RW, and another site had him as C, which I guess tells me he's dynamic and has been put in all positions.
Question number 2 would any of these picks playing with the Oil next year make our team better?
I could be wrong, but I've generally seen Nichushkin listed at left wing, not centre.
The might not be so bad either as some size on our LW to play with Yak would also be a good fit. Perhaps we pick up Antripov on free agency for two years to centre the two russian kids? Just saying, that line would have a ton of size and skill. Though I know everyone hates Antripov for some reason.
April 25 2013, 11:38AM
Question number 2 would any of these picks playing with the Oil next year make our team better?
If it pushed Horcoff/Smithson/Belanger out of the picture, then yes.
Deadwood out, new life in. Edmonton needs a top pairing blueline help now. You just can't draft a kid who may be projected to be able to be just that. It'll be 4-5 yrs before you know where Jones fits in overall. MacKinnon impacts the Oilers within the first two yrs.
Trade the pick and insure we need to keep these so called deadwood types here longer, give your head a shake. This deadwood out/new blood in process is exactly the type of progress management was tawkin about all along.
Yea cause that strategy has always worked for us. BPA is a very subjective metric IMHO.
I would consider BPA with toughness and attitude being a very strong consideration.
So your saying we would have made the playoffs with Seguin, Landeskog and Murray?
I'm pretty much never in favour of trading draft picks in the top 5, mainly because teams generally aren't willing to give you enough in return to warrant doing so.
My prediction is the Oilers will talk about moving the pick and try to create a market (just like they've tried to do in previous years), but in the end they'll keep the pick because nobody's willing to give them the King's ransom they'll be looking for, draft what they consider to be BPA and move on with their day.
I agree that there are some areas that need improvement with EDM's roster - it doesn't mean that picking the BPA has been the source of those problems.
Making the wrong call on who is BPA can be the source of those problems.
Going back to the 2007 draft:
Gagner or Voracek or Couture?
2009: Paajarvi or Kulikov?
2010: Hall or Seguin?
2011: Hopkins or Landeskog or Huberdeau?
2012: Yakupov or Galchenyuk?
A very different looking team if there is a different evaluation of BPA.
Oilers will be bashed no matter who they draft. They're still getting bashed for drafting Hall ahead of Seguin. Someone prior to the draft in 2010 said it would be the biggest mistake in Oilers history if they drafted Hall instead of Seguin.
What happens if Oilers pick #4 and Jones Barkov and Mckinnon are gone?
Do they take Drouin? I don't think so unless they are trading Eberle or Yakupov.
Now a Player like Eberle could get you a Adam Larsson who would be in the top 4 of this draft.
So your saying we would have made the playoffs with Seguin, Landeskog and Murray?
No what I'm saying is that If I were selecting between two or three players that are evenly ranked.........say number 5, 6, and 7, ............I would pick the toughest of the bunch.
It seems to me based on stats and expert analysis, there is not much of a difference between the top ten players in this years draft?
Prove me wrong.......comparing the forwards?
People really need to learn math. If they had lost that game, they would have had 69 points and finished 4. Washington would have been 5th and won the lottery and got Kane. Stop bashing wins and lying if they lost they would have finished 5th. They would have been 4th and fallen to 5th as Washington would have won the lottery. http://www.nhl.com/ice/standings.htm?season=20062007&type=LEA

Weekly Statistical Update
Robert Vollman
September 06 2011 08:25AM
Every Monday throughout this season we'll be providing a summary of how the Flames are doing using advanced statistical analysis. In a single page we'll supplement your subjective observations and the traditional box score statistics ("box cars") with the raw numbers, and some interpretive analysis.
Using all the tools of modern statistic hockey analysis, and an eye so cold and objective that it makes Jonathan Toews look like Ed Whalen, we'll explore how every Flame is performing on a weekly basis.
For those of you not fully familiar with such metrics as offensive zone starts, Quality of Competition, Corsi, Fenwick, scoring chance data, Quality Starts and so on – don't worry. In the coming weeks we'll cover what they mean, what to watch for, and how everyone did last year.
And for those of you who think this approach to hockey is a bunch of crap that provides absolutely nothing of value – don't worry. We will stay off your lawn. And we still love you on Coach's Corner.
In general I'll be your humble weekly servant in this matter – Robert Vollman of Hockey Prospectus. We've been working with these statistics for years, are starting our fourth year with ESPN Insider, and just produced our second book on the topic. Hopefully you caught my FlamesNation guest spots last year – either the write-ups on projecting a player's scoring totals by looking for historical comparables, a blurb on retired numbers, or else the fun look at Calgary's best and worst trades.
And in all Bobby Bittmanesque seriousness, please accept my apologies for the joke about getting off your lawn. Hockey's a complicated sport, and its statistical analysis is in it's relative infancy, especially compared to baseball. It's completely understandable if your experience hasn't been positive, but we're hoping to change that this year. With your help we can sculpt this weekly update into something in which everyone can find something useful and insightful. Or, failing that, at least some good Mike Ricci jokes.
With that in mind, here's what we propose covering every week.
1. OZQoC Chart
Every week we'll start with an updated OZQoC chart. That's pronounced "Oz-Coke", but since we're the ones that mispronounced Phil Housley's name for years, call it what you wish.
We'll explain what it means in greater detail next week, but essentially it's a visual representation of the role each player has been assigned. It's important to review first, because it provides the context by which the remaining analysis can be properly understood.
2. Even-Strength Differentials
The statistics themselves are fairly simple: the on-ice goals, scoring chances and shot-type events (Corsi/Fenwick), for and against, for each player. The complexity comes into play when extracting their meaning.
3. Special Teams Update
We'll supplement the above even-strength analysis with a run-down of how each player is performing with the man advantage and while killing penalties.
4. Goalie Update
We'll conclude our analysis every week by looking at the Flames goalies, looking at their save percentage in various manpower situations, and keeping track of their Quality Starts.
Sounds Great!
The first weekly update will appear October 10th when the season is just a day old. Until then we'll use our time together to review last year's final totals for each of these four components. Not only can this act as a reference later in the season when we forget what Corsi actually means, but we can make any Flames-specific additions or modifications to maximize its usefulness to us.
With that in mind, if there's anything we want to include or avoid in our weekly analysis, let's discuss that right now in the comment section. While we're at it, please suggest a name for this column. Leave it to me and it'll either be the boring title you see already, or else it will involve either a Ricci/ugly or Chelios/old joke.
Go ahead. Call my bluff.
September 06 2011, 08:30AM
Great idea Robert! I would suggest you call it the Black Box. As you'll have a deeper understanding of just what caused the inevitable wreck.
September 06 2011, 08:37AM
"the Black Box"
in electrical engineering parlance, that would be the attempt to divine a system's inner workings by examining only the outputs.
approriate, i think!
September 06 2011, 09:12AM
haha. Black Box is a great idea.
September 06 2011, 12:05PM
@Kent Wilson
I see my attempts at trolling have failed. I'll show myself out.
September 06 2011, 12:29PM
@Danny Gray
Yeah, sorry man. Next time try to be more mindlessly antagonistic.
Flames r suk!! etc.
September 06 2011, 01:49PM
@Kent Wilson
Oh you just wait.
September 06 2011, 02:27PM
I'm personally looking forward to this project. It was allow us to see the minor bumps in the road as the season progresses and to parse the data a lot better once the season is done.
@Kent Wilson
I agree i am really excited. I for one don't have a firm grasp on all the terminology yet, so seeing it in action on a regular basis will help. Mainly, I'm quite interested in analyzing on a game by game, and then watching the runs and slumps that the team goes through and how the stats are affected. How the players are utilized etc.
I also think this is a good idea. Curious how the data will be parses out each week. Will we get some indication of the line combos? This is where I think this will add a lot of value in terms of understanding units working together and changing over a season.
Thanks in advance to Rob for taking this on!

I am looking for a product I have seen in the past. I went back to our local home improvement center and described this product. The manager of the department said that this product was called "pro stone" and has been misterioulsy recalled by the manufacturer.
My wife is insisting on this product or a similar one. Where can I find this product or one similar to it? It was an aproximately 3/8" thick type of a plastic, synthetic marble or stone. My mother has a similar product in her home which was present when she purchased it.
This product is atractive and easy to maintain?
Where can I find this product or a similar one?
Why was it recalled? Is there something wrong with it? I would not like my mother exposed to a defective product.
Thank you.

Pros: Custom-tailored frequency response contasts notes better, meaning, they're easier to play in. Which is why they're often used for playing synths. Also very useful for sniping dirt in samples and fine-tuning mixes.
Cons: Awful stock cable.
AKG K-240 Studio are at least the 4th (really 5th or 6th?) iteration of K-240 design, which started with the K-240 Sextett in the 1970s, themselves a circumaural version of supra K-140. The basic idea behind the "Sextett" design is that the main diaphragm drives six passive radiators, which enhance ambience and spatial imaging. Now, while this is a very good idea for headphones in an era when most headphone amps were powerful enough to drive 1200-ohm and even 2400-ohm headphones, unfortunately modern amps have not been able to keep up and thus the K-240 and K-271 have a reputation of being power hogs. Really modern device (cell phones', pocket players', netbooks'...) headphone outputs are too weak and lame though. They're still efficient enough to be driven fine (thoughly slightly weak) by most Apple players.
Classic K-240 (Sextett, Monitor, DF) are all 600-ohm. The K-240 Studio are the modern 55-ohm version, lower impedance, higher efficiency. While they work with anything, really they have lost some of the smoothness of imaging and stability that 600-ohm offers. Still, they can be driven by pretty much anything nowadays. The only issue is that weaker pocket players and notebook PCs won't be able to drive them to fullness. They work just fine with any professional gear though, which is what they're meant for.
Make no mistake, the K-240 Studio are designed for use by musicians and sound engineers. Which is why they have a frequency response which is not straight by definition: midrange is raised to improve note contrast and show details in recorded takes, mixes and samples. It is not carelessly lifted though, and the K-240 still manage to have a very musical and rather natural sound signature, unlike their sibling the K-271, which has a weird treble/midrange transition and an overall melancholic character. The only advantage the K-271 Studio have over the K-240 is being fully closed; if you're trying to choose between the K-240 and K-271 for listening to music, go for the K-240, they are warmer and more natural.
Sometimes the K-240 are said to have a "sloppy bass", but this might be more an issue with amplification (the K-240 by design are not very efficient, having passive radiators that are driven by the main diaphragm too). The K-240 Studio are not designed as a boombox, but with the right amp they can deliver a lot of low-frequency power and massage ears with just about any kind of music, as long as it has low frequencies.
High frequencies can feel a tad too rolled off, but really this is a design decision as it seems AKG decided to roll some K-240DF properties into the Studio design too, bringing the overall frequency response closer to the DF model, while still keeping some HF response. As a result the K-240 Studio can sound darkish at times, but they're still sparkly and 3D.
Where the K-240 Studio really shine is space definition. As an example, stock-cabled Denon AH-D1000 will play a rock piece with the guitar in the centre, bass right next to it, and drums in the background, the singer floating in mid-air. In K-240 Studio, this same piece plays with the guitar in the centre-sides, bass separated better and tugged to the back, and drums panned all across the soundstage. The soundstage is quite large, and it's defined rather well to any side, even vertically. The K-240 like to separate instruments and pan them properly. This might also be an important quality for any classical music listeners.
The one big flaw of the K-240 Studio is the stock cable. Some say it's made of leftover old scrap copper, and to tell the truth, it sure sounds like that. The stock cable just won't make the K-240 show all they're capable of. Too dirty, too many stuck harmonics, too dark, too slow, bass and high frequencies slightly falling apart in the time domain, and of course, the delicate high frequencies get lost too, simply because the stock cable is not shielded. To make K-240 Studio show what there really is in a record, you need a good headphone amp (or output; a stationary stereo system amp will do, as will a mixer, a good pro sound interface, etc.) and a shielded high-quality cable. Shielded high-purity copper is one option, but they really become accurate with a shielded silver-plated copper cable.
Dynamics are slower than Denon/Foster headphones, but still quite good. K-240 aren't as fast, but they still paint with a good accuracy. They could be a bit sharper in dynamics, but with a silver or silver-plated copper speed/response is improved.
K-240 can be used for mixing, though really they're mostly for "zooming in" on parts of the soundscape and discerning details that are not as clear on speakers. They're very helpful when cleaning up samples and microphone takes. Like a "magnifying glass" for sound. They also work fine for monitoring. Don't let the "semi-open" bit fool you - even a singer in front of an LDC won't let music bleed into the microphone. A producer friend uses the K-240 Studio for singers in front of his C-414. They might bleed something when cranked up way too high (which is difficult), but in practice they're fine for any kind of studio work, though frankly closed headphones are still better for monitoring microphones, as they block more external noise. On the other hand, you can have radio talkers hear each other "live" and their own voice without taking off the headphones, which might be a downside or a plus.
The K-240 are built tough, from a dense plastic that's guaranteed to hold (mine once got bumped by a moving car). The "Studio" name is really appropriate, they're studio gear meant to last.
Overall, highly recommended. This is a must-have for anyone who plays synthesisers, edits sound, composes music, and mixes. Just recable :-)

This is our second fan, one for the dining room and one for the master bedroom. Neither dinner nor a night's sleep is lost to noise and the moving air allows us to run the AC one degree higher.

Alpine adventures and instant weight-loss.
Head for the hills with the Deuter Guide 45 Backpack, with carrying capacity for all the necessary gear for your climbing, skiing, or mountaineering expedition. Wide-ski straps for your powder boards, gear loops and attachment points, plus super-handy top, bottom, and side access make this pack a multisport wonder. And this take-it-all carrying capacity won't slow you down, harnessed with a pivoting, anatomically cut hipbelt, aluminum X-frame, and sweat-reducing Alpine back system. You'll stay so sure-footed and balanced on uneven terrain, you won't even feel the weight.
- Alpine back system balances and stabilizes your load and provides cool, comfortable, sweat-reducing ventilation for demanding technical adventures
- Two air-channeled foam stripes cushion your back with super-breathable, stabilizing, and cooling ventilation
- Removable VariFlex pivoting, anatomically cut hipbelt with pull-forward straps moves with your body so you stay balanced over slippery or uneven terrain
- Removable bivouac foam mat supports the back system and can be used as a seat when you want to stop and enjoy the view for awhile
- Adjustable straps on shoulder straps and hip fins allow carrying options on varying terrain, loose or snug depending on comfort and control needs
- Removable aluminum X-frame stays support and effectively transfer the load to the hips
- Carries an ample 45 pounds of your necessary gear, layers, and goodies
- Side-zipper, bottom, and top access means everything is easy to get to, with no need to unpack and repack on the trail
- Bottom-access compartment with zip internal divider keeps muddy or wet gear from mussing up the rest of your gear and goodies
- Tough, light, and durable MacroLite and Duratex-Lite will last through your summit list
- Accommodates your hydration system to keep you quenched
- Wide (130mm) ski slots carry your powder sticks in an A-frame with ease
- Modern ice tool attachments and hip-belt gear loops secure tools for easy access
- Optional stability waist strap is leaner when wearing a climbing harness; optional under-lid rope strap secures rope when lid is open
- Spin-drift collar helps prevent leaks into the main compartment

A great, versatile pack
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This was my first season using this pack and I'm loving it so far; just like all the Deuter packs that I've used. Performs very well in everything from ski touring and mountaineering, to general backpacking. It's got all the features you could need in a pack like this; ski-slots, ice-axe loops, bivy mat, hydration sleeve, and easy access from the top, bottom and sides. Felt very comfortable and solid while moving with a full pack and skis over all types of terrain. Great pack!
Guide 45 fits the bill
Toss it all in there- it can handle it
Deuter Guide 45 Backpack
Great pack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have the first revision of this pack from 2010. It's very versatile and I've used it for everything - from a suitcase for vacation to peakbagging 14ers in California. It was important for me to find a pack that I could live out of for 2-3 days in 4-season weather and have it double as a day pack for the summit push. At the end of this month I'm going on a 30-mile slog over 4 days with 10,000ft of elevation gain (cumulative). I can BARELY fit everything in here but because I can, I'll be taking it instead of my 65L.
I do have one complaint that I really noticed with this trip: When you max out the extra capacity (the '+' in the 45+), the lid does not fit all the way around the top. However it looks like they resolved that with this revision because the side of this lid look wider and deeper.
Solid Pack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Got this pack a few weeks ago. I have already put it through some pretty good tests, which it passed with flying colors. I have used it on several hunting trips so far. Packed about 80 pounds of moose meat a mile and it worked great. The only tiny complaint was that the hip belt didn't offer as much support as I would have liked (it works much better when you keep the load under 45 pounds like they advertise). The the Vari-Flex hip belt is nothing to get excited about. The hip belt is just held in with a small piece of velcro that allows a little movement, which I am not really convinced is a good thing. Love the divider that zips in to separate the top and bottom sections. It is great for organizing and making sure the weight in the pack is distributed perfectly. The side zipper is also pretty handy. I have never seen a pack that has so many well placed tie on points all over the outside. I plan to use this pack on a few bigger splitboard trips this spring. My board just barely squeaks into the ski-slots. I will probably just strap it on with the two sets of compression straps because it seemed to fit and ride better like that anyway. I also pulled the "sitting pad" out. It is really not necessary because there is so much padding in the back. The pack is much lighter than you would expect, probably because it is so simple. Super stoked to use this pack this winter, I would highly recommend it.

Guide 45+
Almost a do-everything pack for me
I cannot say enough about this pack. I felt trapped between a big 85L pack (8 lbs, bought in 1984, summited Mt Rainier a couple times, but ugh) and my tiny 25L day pack (really only good for shorter fair weather hikes), but needed something for day scrambles of 5-10 hours and summit pushes on multi-day climbs that could hold more gear, ropes, maybe a bivy, food etc. Enter the Deuter Guide 45+.
Great price, super solid construction, waterproof, and what really thrilled me was last week when I sized it down for my 10 year-old on a three-day backpacking trip. It was only slightly too big for him at its smallest (and we didn't load it full, of course). (Even most kids packs don't go small enough in the waist for my son whose waist is 24".) I was kind of grumpy because he had my favorite and my 12 year-old had my 70L Osprey while I was stuck humping along in the family truckster pack once more.... But now, when looking for a pack for my kids, I'll consider this (or the Guide 30) which will still be usable by them when they're grown!
Back to me: I really love this pack for me as well, though it might be too heavy to tack onto the outside of my bigger packs for use on summit day only for overnight climbs. On the few climbs I have made with it (all in snow this winter), I love the fit, strength, capacity, features, etc. Can't wait to bring my skis up on a climb with this baby. My ONLY gripe so far: the color is a bit blah. I'm not an ultra-light kind of guy, but will probably try to make due on an overnight or two in good weather with this....
Are the ski loops wide enough to accommodate a splitboard ?
What are the dimensions of the back? Without the top compartment being used? I am trying to see if I could use this as a carry-on bag if I did not fill it (restrictions are roughly 21.6"x15.7x9). Thanks in advance!

Movie Summary
Negroes with Guns: Rob Williams and Black Power
Description: Robert Williams was an anomaly in the 1950s during the dawning days of the Civil Rights Movement -- while most African-American leaders espoused peaceful resistance and abhorred violence, Williams advocated meeting force with force, and suggested that blacks should arm themselves for their own protection in his controversial book Negroes With Guns as well as his outspoken newsletter The Crusader. Williams' bold views were not the only thing about him that caused a stir; an incident involving a civil rights protest in 1961 led to Williams being charged with kidnapping by the FBI (charges which were later dropped), and the author and activist went into exile, living for a while in Cuba (where he broadcast a radio show into the southern United States, Radio Free Dixie) and later in China (as a guest of Mao Tse-tung). Negroes With Guns: Rob Williams and Black Power is a documentary (created with the cooperation of Williams' estate) that looks at the private and public lives of a brilliant but wildly controversial man. Negroes With Guns: Rob Williams and Black Power was screened as part of the 2004 Los Angeles Film Festival.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Why I Won't Be Blogging for the Foreseeable Future
I don't post a lot of pictures, especially of my kids, but in this particular case, a picture really is worth a thousand words:) (Besides, newborns all kind of look the same, don't they?) I'm pleased to introduce you to Baby Number Three, whom I will affectionately call Monster around the Internet. (He has a real name, honest, but you know how much I like nicknames. And Monster is the name our four-year-old suggested when we asked him what he thought we should name the baby.)
The delivery was uneventful--or at least it was after the anesthesia finally worked. (For some unknown reason, the spinal took five extra minutes to kick in. (I didn't particularly care for those five extra minutes.)) Monster was born just after daybreak on Wednesday, January 11. He was a whopping eight pounds, seven ounces, which is almost a full pound heavier than Lady was when she was born, and he was twenty-one inches long.
Ironically enough, Monster has been the least monster-ish of all our kids. He actually sleeps sometimes, and he hardly ever cries. Still, I don't plan to blog for the next couple of months. I need time to adapt to my new normal.
I'll be back later this spring, probably sometime around April, and as I mentioned once before, I already have some interviews and additional rounds of "An Agent's Inbox" in the works. Until then, I hope you all have a great first-few-months-of-2012. I'm sure we will.

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Afternoon Headshots: March 6th

Jeff Vinnick captures the precise moment M.E. Vlasic feels the impact of this Jannik Hansen hit.
I feel like Vlasic face could be a thing.
Today at Canucks Army we wondered whether or not the Canucks were maybe, possibly thinking about trading the wrong goaltender, scoffed at Damien Cox's latest criticism of Mike Gillis' avarice on the Luongo trade front and recapped Tuesday night's home shootout loss against the San Jose Sharks.
More links and analysis (and links to analysis) after the jump.
Jeff Paterson zeroes in on Daniel Sedin's massive drop in power-play shot-rate as a primary reason Vancouver's struggling with the man-advantage. [Team 1040]
Cody Hodgson scored a pretty sweet short-handed goal for Buffalo yesterday, which caused Wyatt Arndt to sob gently, the sentimental chap. On the subject of Hodgson, it's pretty clear he's not driving the bus offensively in Buffalo, as he only has two assists in the 80 minutes he's spent without all-world sniper Thomas Vanek on his wing at evens. He's also not driving play, and is underwater like Atlantis unless he's on the ice with Christian Ehrhoff, who might be having a career year in Buffalo this season. You want a former Canucks skaters on the Buffalo Sabres to miss, pick 'Hoff. [Legion of Blog]
Brad Ziemer lavishes some well deserved praise on the Chris Higgins, Jannik Hansen, Mason Raymond line who have been fantastic together since Kesler returned to the IR. I'm not saying that the shift that led to Jannik Hansen's late second period game-tying goal on Tuesday was beautiful per se, but I definitely want to buy that shift a malt if I ever work up the guts to ask it out. [Vancouver Sun]
David Ebner with an excellent take on Chris Tanev's meteoric rise and transformation into one of the Canucks' most dependable "defensive stalwarts." [Globe and Mail]
With their "Dreaded Two-Goal Lead" feature, Daniel Wagner summarizes in entertaining fashion (including a really amusing tongue-in-cheek swipe at my cheeky headline about Cory Schneider's Millionaires mask earlier this week) some of the news that the Pass it to Bulis crew missed this week (until now!). [Pass it to Bulis]
Cam Cole thinks the Canucks need more Killer Instinct. Perhaps Cinder, Riptor and
Ballrog T.J. Combo (same damn thing!) are available at the trade deadline? In all seriousness, killer instinct has nothing to do with it and neither does the defensive play. The Canucks' problem at the moment is that both Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider are struggling to stop saveable pucks when the games are close. Luckily those two are awesome at hockey and will figure it out. [Vancouver Sun]
Jim Jamieson reports that Nicklas Jensen might play his first game with the Wolves this season as early as Saturday against the Milwaukke Admirals. Also drops that while the Canucks consider Jensen's agreement with the Generals to be "nullified" as a result of his SEL transfer, Oshawa's General Manager doesn't quite agree. As I said yesterday, and will probably say again: I don't think we've heard the last of this story. [The White Towel]
Despite his sore groin, Kevin Bieksa will join the Canucks on their upcoming roadtrip through Columbus, Minnesota and Columbus again. Fuck that's a boring roadie. Also the headline writer's groin pun here is just awful (in the best way). [Vancouver Sun]
Henrik Sedin, who took a puck in the face off of an Edler slapshot and missed a grand total of zero shifts because he wears appropriate protective gear, would like to see visors made mandatory in the NHL. "If guys aren't doing it," Henrik "Mayor Bloomberg" Sedin told Ben Kuzma, "somebody has to make the choice for them." [White Towel]
Jason Botchford writes some interesting stuff about Keith Ballard and also hops onboard the "sometimes the defenseman who leads the team in average ice-time by a square minute, plays the toughest competition among all blue-liners, and attempted seventeen shots on Tuesday should be benched when he has an occassional brain-fart" train. [The White Towel]
