He or She has nailed YOU. The way our tax dollars are spent is a reflection of what the voters want. Not always but on the hot button items that win elections legislators do listen. Thats why over half the federal budget is defense. Most conservatives are scared to death of people different from themselves. So we have to be able to kill them all ten times over, just to be sure. So we waste billions on arms the Pentagon doesn't want for weapon systems that are no longer viable for the wars we do fight, but it gets people elected.
Thats also why we will probably never get legislation to control weapons designed with the only purpose is to kill people in mass. Most conservatives are afraid of some person, normally of some color other than theirs coming to get them. ALMOST never happens, ask around just how many people do you know that have had to use a weaponq of mass destruction to protect themselves from the bad guy coming for them, not including wars. The odds are better that they have won the Powerball and how many of those people do you know. The conserative comments are not a judgement of the people. Living in conserative areas all my life it is just the way I and others see their reaction to certain events, most that have never really touched their lives.
By the way Bill, have you been "informed" that you are a pompous arrogant ass?

"The way our tax dollars are spent is a reflection of what the voters want."
Oh, really? That has got to be one of the most clueless and uneducated comments in this thread.
You really shouldn't be involved in conversations when you don't know what you're talking about (particularly taxes, which you have no clue whatsoever)...You're a "little picture" thinker, when we need "big picture" thinkers.

I believe he speaks of limited and conservative government, but spends like it's going out of style, and now he most recently voted to raise taxes, or as he said, revenue. My belief is a very conservative candidate for his seat will emerge, almost tea party in nature. This state is a must retain for the republicans, and they will support a new candidate, Chambliis, or not.

You stupid arogant ass!! "Why doesn't if fell like it"!!?!?!
Its morons like you who think they know everything but don't know squat and VOTE that scares the heck out of me.
You can call me names and claim I know nothing but you don't argue one point with any intellect.
I agree you are a big picture thinker, you get all your info. off the 50" big screen in your living room and you must think how long you need to watch the crap.
You don't know that politicians throw us voters things we cry for and keep the rest for the rich?? Examples, again the wasteful military, abortion, guns and laws against gays are just a couple. The things that don't really make any difference to the rich upper class who rules the world they give us just to get votes, and it works.
As for the dogs I will stay on the porch with the poor working people while you go out into the yard with the dogs and the drop more senseless crap for working people to step in. A prime example is taxes, you live in Alices Wonderland on that subject.

Funny how the wealthy have enjoyed all the loopholes for all these years, spend the whole year figuring ways to cheat on taxes. Now, that many of those loopholes will be closed over the next 4 years, what do they FINALLY scream? Flat tax! I pray for all you greedy, money loving snobs. May one day you find your way to ALL things real.
#2622 Jan 27, 2013
This video is actually so embarassing to this great nation. I mean, Al Capone had it figured out CENTURIES ago, along with a few GREAT men. Give me a break. I'm all for flat tax, but I've been screaming it for about 60 years now. Come on American, always a day late and a few trillion dollars short. My word, we have one whacko, messed up government, meaning Republicans, Democrats AND congress. And the cause, corruption and greed.

The Oilers are only two points out of a playoff spot and four points back of the division leading Minnesota Wild/Vancouver Canucks.
How is that possible? Ten days ago most had written them off, after back-to-back shut out losses in Detroit and Nashville, but since then they've picked up 7 of 8 points and suddenly they sit in 10th place in the ultra-tight western conference.
The Oilers play seven games before the April 3rd trade deadline, and those results should give us an indication if the Oilers will be buyers or sellers.
The Oilers need a few more experienced players. It will be hard to find them at the deadline, especially if the race in the west stays this tight. If a few teams drop out that should put a few more players on the market.
The Oilers have so much youth on this roster and prospects in the system they could afford to trade one or two of them. You can't have an entire team made up of players drafted in the last four or five years. It won't work, and if the right deal is there for a solid veteran, I'd pull the trigger.
Ladislav Smid's contract expires at the end of the year. Smid is a solid defensive D-man who kills penalties, competes hard and blocks a lot of shots. He is limited offensively, but he understands his role on the team and, most importantly, he accepts his role.
The Oilers can't afford to lose him this summer, and they likely won't get more than prospects and picks for him at the deadline. They need to re-sign him. The Oilers can't lose a young, veteran player just as they are starting to show signs of improving, especially when they don't have much depth on the blueline.
Look at a four-year deal worth $3.3-$3.8 million/year and get the deal done.
Sam Gagner's contract status is much different.
He is having a career year and he's been consistent offensively all season. His line still surrenders more shots against than they produce, but overall Gagner's game is solid. His offensive numbers likely put him at the $5 million mark. That would only be a $1.8 million raise from his current deal, so it won't crush the Oilers cap wise.
His raise will come from Nikolai Khabibulin's $3.75 cap hit coming down. The Oilers will either sign Khabibulin or another goalie as the back up for around $1-$1.2 million.
The Oilers could take Gagner to arbitration this summer. It would make sense because this is the last year he is eligible. I know some feel that filing for arbitration can lead to bitter feelings, but I don't always agree. Just because they file for arbitration doesn't mean they have to use the arbitrator. Gagner filed for arbitration last year, and they settled prior to the hearing and neither side has any bitterness.
The bigger question for Gagner will be the length of his deal. Do you sign him to a one, two, three, four or five year pact?
I don't see any urgency to sign Gagner before the season ends. The tough decision will come in the summer when both sides try to figure out what term works best.
How long would you sign Gagner for?

|Won 2

Finally, Oiler fans get to experience an actual playoff drive in Edmonton. Scoreboard watching begins tonight.
A victory by the Ducks over the Sharks will leave the Oilers two points behind 8th place San Jose with 20 games remaining for both teams. They play the Sharks on Wednesday.
The Oilers won't want to see 3-point game between Dal/Cgy or Van/Minn and ideally you want LA and Chicago to defeat Phoenix and Colorado respectively. Scoreboard watching requires a calculator and an excel spreadsheet to breakdown every scenario, which makes the next six weeks even more exciting, but clearly the Oilers need to go on a good run to stay in the hunt.
They've picked up seven points in their last four games, but a three-game losing streak will negate that quickly. The Oilers can't afford a losing skid, and they need to win in regulation time as often as possible.
They also need to be better at home. I know the Oilers have played the fewest home games in the west, but they also have they are also 14th in winning %. You can use actual wins (5 of 12) which I prefer, of you can calculate points taken (13 of possible 24) and either way they are 14th.
The Oilers have played 12 games at home which is the same as Anaheim and Nashville and one fewer than Chicago, San Jose, LA, Dallas and Colorado. Yes, other teams have played more home games, but the Oilers winning % is only better than the Stars.
Five of their next seven games are at home:
March 20th vs. San Jose
March 23rd vs. St. Louis
March 28th vs. Columbus
March 30th vs. Vancouver
April 1st vs. Calgary.
SJ, CBJ, VAN and CGY are within four points of the Oilers (+ or -), and I suspect they'll need to win four of five to be in the playoff hunt by the trade deadline.
The Oilers need to come out with more desperation and energy on Wednesday than they did vs. the Predators last night. They didn't have one shot in the first ten minutes. I credit them for being much better in the third period, but they need to get the fans behind them early. The Oilers have only outshot the visiting team five times this year.
They need to be hungrier at home.
- It sounds like Eric Belanger could be ready for Wednesday. If so, I wonder who comes out of the lineup. I could see Krueger moving Smyth with Nugent-Hopkins and Eberle and slotting Belanger between Brown and Petrell. That would put Ryan Jones in the pressbox.
- If they do activate Belanger I suspect Teemu Hartikainen goes to OKC. The only other option is to hide someone else on the IR.
- Fun question. With back-to-back games coming up next Monday and Tuesday in Nashville and St. Louis, which game do you rest Dubnyk?
- We have 38 spots remaining (out of 100) in the Gregor Charity poker classic. The winner wins flights, accommodations and a $10,000 seat at the WSOP main event in Vegas. Info is at bottom of article. Call 780.643.4060 to register. It will be sold out by Wednesday at the latest.
- Andrew Cogliano has more goals (10) than Teemu Selanne, Bobby Ryan or Corey Perry. He's having a solid year with the 2nd place Anaheim Ducks.
- Jason Spezza has missed 20 games, Erik Karlsson has been out for 15 and Craig Anderson has missed the last 11 games, yet the Ottawa Senators are still winning. Incredible.
For the fist time in a long time, the Oilers could actually make the playoffs. Here's hoping.
Great hit by Fist-ric last night. Hey-O!!
Edit: Fail! Doh!!
I really wish the Oilers had signed Gagner long term before this career year he is having. Paying him 5 mil will make our cap situation pretty tight when Nuge, Yak and Schultz get extended.
Gagner to arbitration does not buy UFA years. With his PK, and how much Eberle is making he has a strong case at arbitration. (especially if the oilers are stupid enough to re-up nuge to 6M first). Though he may play more or as many minutes as 14 and 4, he plays a lot of them in non scoring situations.
Give him a letter, and get the home team discount.
He has been on the ice for only one pp goal against but on for three short handed for.
Filing for arbitration on Gagner would actually be a smart idea for the purpose that I believe no teams can make an offer sheet once arbitration is filed. This off season might see an increase in offer sheets due to the limited FA list and lowering of the cap.
What would be nice is if this team negates the need for scoreboard watching. What I am saying is, keep on winning and racking up points and it will be the other teams that need to scoreboard watch. Middle of march and the playoff hopes rest in the hands of the kids. Hall has said how he has been looking for some meaningful nhl games, now he has them. Time to man up.
March 18 2013, 02:05PM
It amazing that they are so close but to make the push I think they need to make moves. Problem is with the current roster/contract situation and what they have to offer, I think their hands are mostly tied unless so teams suffer some injuries and get really desperate.
To many crap contracts killings the team flexibility.
Incredibly, the Oilers get five out of a possible six points in their next three games. Continuing their slide, Vancouver only gets two out of a possible six. This sets up the game against Vancouver. If the Oilers win they edge out Van for one of the last playoff spots. If they lose, then Van stays in the hunt for number one in the division.
What is more impressive than the west being close, is how close the North West is. Three teams from any division in the playoffs is amazing. And it could be that only two from the Northwest make it. But it is just as likely that four teams from the North west end up in the playoffs.
This has been the most up and down year of Hockey I can remember.
Well, here we go again, depending on how things play out here, Hemsky goes..with whatever or whom ever for a piece we need. We cant keep them all guys and Hemmer has improved and is healthy. That makes it the perfect storm. He can bring a nice piece back. Gagner just brings more to the table. And you dont give up on Hall who is becoming beast like, Eberle, Nuge or Yak yet, he is still learning. Hemsky is not going to ever get better. He must go if anyone does.
Gagner is playing the easiest minutes of any Oiler C this year (besides Belanger). The Nuge and Horcoff are playing the toughs.
I expect that when opposing coaches are trying to decide who to try to shut down, its Nuge. When Krueger wants to shut down another team, he sends Horcoff.
There is nothing wrong with Gagner getting his points this way. But I would feel a lot better giving Gagner a long term contract if he was playing the toughs and putting up a point a game.
And...they need to find a way to make Rexall so painful to play in that visiting teams feel the pain and can get
a discount at one of Katz's beloved pharmacies on T-3's. The old barn Rexall needs to be hell. And its not.
March 18 2013, 02:19PM
Please, for the love of sweet baby Nuge sleeping in his manger, don't put Belanger back in the lineup. I know he's a veteran presence and can win faceoffs, but he brings ZERO emotion, ZERO intensity, and ZERO offensive potential. The guy might never score another goal in the NHL. Ryan Jones hauls ass every shift, and he's not a gifted scorer. But he works for his points. They aren't there yet, but they're coming, because he works for them. Belanger floats, is offensively inept, and is, frankly, frustrating to watch. Keep him out for a while longer.
I'm so torn... Winning = playoffs, but losing = bye Tambo (hopefully)
At the end of last season if I was told we would be 2 points out of the playoffs seven games before the trade deadline I would have said that's going to be an amazing turn around in one season and we would be headed in the right diection then.
I also would have checked your meds.
Its been about as good as it could have been so far. As advertized roller coaster ride of highs and lows that a talented but young team will give you.
This is the most fun I've had watching and most invested I've been since 06.
he isnt getting the easy minutes because of him, he is getting them because of who he is babysitting on his line, and the other teams giving him the easy minutes. (this is what other teams call depth, when you have enough players to actually have a threat).
Paajarvi is stepping up and if Yak rounds out trust me they would be getting the harder minutes. These three are much harder on the puck and fiestier than the nuge eberle line.
If we can get a good replacement for horc or him on a cheaper contract with a little more time we will be great.
We are getting better, cant expect it all at once..
I'm so torn... Winning = playoffs, but losing = bye Tambo (hopefully)
Maybe it's just I've been an Oilers fan for a while, but is it wrong of me to want the team to just miss the playoffs so they get entered into the draft lottery again this year. I mean, sure they miss the playoffs, but this year it might be best to have a ball in the lottery rather than draft at 16th int he league.
Yes, no I think this is in fact a very wrong mentality to have. Actually scratch that. I want them in the playoffs, and Calgary out, and Vancouver out. That way I get to rub all my other friend's noses in it. Which is really the best thing about being a fan of any team.
March 18 2013, 02:35PM
last night was entertaining and that's what it's about
"Scoreboard watching requires a calculator and an excel spreadsheet to breakdown every scenario, which makes the next six weeks even more exciting, but clearly the Oilers need to go on a good run to stay in the hunt."
Whoa, a playoff race and excel spreadsheets easy Jaason, Oilers fans and Wanye in particular may not be ready for this much excitement.
What would be nice is if this team negates the need for scoreboard watching. What I am saying is, keep on winning and racking up points and it will be the other teams that need to scoreboard watch. Middle of march and the playoff hopes rest in the hands of the kids. Hall has said how he has been looking for some meaningful nhl games, now he has them. Time to man up.
This season is proof that a shorter season is much more exciting than a long one. Every team has a chance still with 20 games to go. That is a function of only being 28 games in as opposed to 62 games in. For example, Colorado is only 6 points out today which a 3 game win streak would have them right back in the race. Prorated, if this was 62 games in, they would be 14 points out with 20 games to go. They would be deadline sellers and their fans would have to watch the crappy death march to the end of the season, which we've had to endure the last few years.
Arbitration for Gagner is risky. If the arbitrator gives Gags something ridiculous, like year 2 of Ryan O'Reilly's contract, then you're stuck between signing Gagner and possibly screwing up your cap space or you have to walk away and let him go for nothing.
I'm so torn... Winning = playoffs, but losing = bye Tambo (hopefully)
If the Oilers finish 29th again, Tambo might lose his job.
But if they improve to 20th or so, he won't, nor should he. Thats a nice improvement.
Unlike most around here, I like his patience. Pulling the trigger on a few big deals doesn't make sense when your core has a lot of growing up to do. It will just shorten the window this team has to win.
Hopefully they will sign a few college free agents, have a good draft and go after a key freeagent or two.
Next year is when playoff expectations would be realistic.
The good news for the Oil is that the Central has the Hawks mopping up and the Ducks killing in the Pacific. There's no real clear ace in the NW. If that trend continues, should be an easier road for a NW team to sneak into a playoff spot.
March 18 2013, 03:23PM
I agree, bud. Something like the Madhouse in Madison where it feels crazy just entering the building...the "Protect This House" Under-Armour slogan the Oil walk out beside is like a sad joke.
March 18 2013, 03:34PM
Is Gagner in threat of an offer sheet maybe if there is no arbitration? I wonder what a team would offer to scare us off. He's the kind of player that you cut your losses with if the money is too big.
I was in an argument with a friend whether or not Hall will play in Sochi. I said yes, and my friend just kept rattling off other players. I think he makes it.
@The Oilers Shot Clock
I kind of think anyone willing to offer sheet Gagner is a real desperate team. So I doubt they do so well and that likely means some good picks for us, which is more than we'd get for him in trade. It doesn't really help the team right now, but we get the best value for him this way.
Plus, if we draft a big 2 way centre with some skill this year, then do we really need a Gagner?

Hall has a realistic shot to make Team Canada. Hemsky might make the Czech team, while the others Oilers will likely have a nice break at the beach.
March 18 2013, 03:53PM
Are you talking 3 years from now or next year?..If its next year then I'd say no center in the entire draft would adequately replace Gags next year. I want to win more next year than we did this year. Replacing Gags with another rookie doesnt do it. What center in the 5-10 range of the draft would you put out there before Gags for the next couple seasons? Whoever we draft this year, I truly hope we dont see them in an Oiler sweater for atleast a year and preferably two. We shouldnt have to do that anymore.
March 18 2013, 03:58PM
Seriously, its funny because he's kinda down the depth chart but i bet MPS gets a serious look for Sweden.
Petry maybe as well?....maybe. Cant see them bringing back JJ.
Agree with Hemsky...he'll benefit from a lack of options.
Gags comes from a hockey pedigree and is now starting to hit his stride-- why would we think that he couldn't improve his faceoff win % over time as he's improved the other aspects of his game? I would say if you can keep him in the $4M to $4.5M annual range on a hometown discount, go for a long term deal of 5 years+. If he wants more, maybe go to the two to three year range.
As for Smid, lock him up for a similar term but in the $3.25M to $3.75M range. Shot blocking defencemen who are willing to drop the gloves and punish opposing forwards don't grow on trees.
Gagner to arbitration does not buy UFA years. With his PK, and how much Eberle is making he has a strong case at arbitration. (especially if the oilers are stupid enough to re-up nuge to 6M first).

Give him a letter, and get the home team discount.
He has been on the ice for only one pp goal against but on for three short handed for.
According to Orr Hockey Group, who manages him, he hasn't been on for a single goal against. Still, those are pretty decent stats for his first year on the penalty kill. He's been consisently in the top minutes for forwards almost every night too, playing several minutes more than Eberle or Hall on some nights. You gotta think that ups his asking price for sure. I agree with giving him a letter. I see him as more of a leader out there than Eberle right now for sure. He's definitely got more fire/spark/jam or whatever you want to call it.

Agreed, we need to stop rushing people onto the team and let them develop. We were in a bad place for a couple years where we didn't have much of a choice but now that we have a bit of depth, it isn't necessary anymore. Let these kids take some time to season and come along slowly.
March 18 2013, 05:00PM
I really wish the Oilers had signed Gagner long term before this career year he is having. Paying him 5 mil will make our cap situation pretty tight when Nuge, Yak and Schultz get extended.
I get ya......but maybe playing for a new contract is exactly what he needed to propel him to this next level.
I'm betting we'll see plenty of 3 point games through the end of the season. This is going to be a crazy finish to the season.
March 18 2013, 05:03PM
Hall has a realistic shot to make Team Canada. Hemsky might make the Czech team, while the others Oilers will likely have a nice break at the beach.
Depends if Hall can keep up his combination of physical play and ppg stats. If he did all the Hall haters can have a glass of haterade.
I would give gagner the maximum length (8 years) for a 10 percent discount on what he is worth now.
So say at 4 to 4.5 million. That would make him 32 at end of deal and would give the oilers stability for years to come.
He is durable and is getting better as his career progresses. in 4 years it will be a bargain deal for oilers.
In short term gagner gets dollars, term and stability.
March 18 2013, 05:18PM
Katz won't give a discount on anything. That means money not going into his pocket.
March 18 2013, 05:20PM
What should the Oilers do? Unfortunately nothing. We have nothing to give up that anyone would need to get anything of significance, and the management morons have shown they don't have the skill to do anything personnel wise.
@The Oilers Shot Clock
True. That certainly leaves a hole in the line up, which we're essentially hoping is filled by a prospect who likely wouldn't be NHL ready. I mean Gregorenko (though believed to be a steal at 15) is not having near the season Gagner is having. However, do we really need this guy to play top minutes? With Nuge / Horcoff as our number one and two, this centre has the chance to play with skilled wingers, against weak competition.
In a year that will likely see Klefbomb developing into a top 4 defenceman, why not have our big centre with skill developing as well?
The question I was trying to ask, is if Gagner doesn't get resigned what is his trade value? Do you think we get his trade value before the deadline? Because any team looking to pick him up is not going to give up the piece the Oilers need (top 2 defence, or a number 2 centre with size and skill). So say they give up futures, that would mean either picks, or a rough prospect. That also will likely be an underpayment for Gagner. But a bunch of high picks, even though that doesn't address team need, still might be a better return then going through other avenues.
I feel like we've been watching him for years already - and to think an 8-yr deal at this point would only take him to age 32.... crazy man.
I'd love to lock him up but realistically, he and Nuge are after the same role - and Nuge is a better option. I think they could only co-exist and be fully effective if we had two other monster centres.
Yeah let's trade Gagner 'cause 2nd line centres grow on trees and we have so much depth at centre.
After investing all that time in his development, it's finally starting to pay off. Why would ST pull the trigger on a trade unless it addresses a need and improves the club? Isn't it the Islanders modus operandi to develop players and let them go before it pays off? The perpetual rebuild is not a road I want to go down.
The only positions we have depth on are wingers and D prospects. A deal involving one of each for a decent upgrade on centre or D would be prudent. And nice 2 for 1 deal would give us an second available contract for free agent or college signings. ST seems to be nothing if not cautious and prudent.
Ah, hopes springs eternal.
If Calgary beats Dallas tonight and it's a 3 point game, the Oilers drop to 12th.
Since San Jose, Phoenix, Los Angeles Minnesota and Vancouver are all playing and using games in hand, the Oilers will actually be in a worse position than they were yesterday because multiple teams will get points tonight.
Please, for the love of sweet baby Nuge sleeping in his manger, don't put Belanger back in the lineup. I know he's a veteran presence and can win faceoffs, but he brings ZERO emotion, ZERO intensity, and ZERO offensive potential. The guy might never score another goal in the NHL. Ryan Jones hauls ass every shift, and he's not a gifted scorer. But he works for his points. They aren't there yet, but they're coming, because he works for them. Belanger floats, is offensively inept, and is, frankly, frustrating to watch. Keep him out for a while longer.
I could not agree with you more.........the only thing more painful than watching this guy play is watching Horcoff trying to make an offensive play.
We are so desperate for a true top six leader as soon as Horcoff got back, Tamby announced him King and Captain. I suspect that Horcoff has generated all the points he is capable of since his return.......two.
This team is not designed to make the playoffs.......plain and simple. We will get close and once it mathematically impossible for us to make the playoffs, we will play our best hockey!

I would want to get Smid signed to a three or four year deal at 3.5 a season. Gagner for four or five years at 4.25 a season.
We've stayed very healthy this year. If injures come our playoff hopes are done. However if they don't and Eberle, Nuge, and J Schultz get going again then we will make it.
Hall will make the Olympic team.
You're welcome
The only team that the Oilers can worry about is the Oilers. There will be plenty of frustrating 3-point games in the always tight western conference. It's up to the Oilers to put together a streak and get some clearance from the cluster of teams duking it out every night.

God, the mass hysteria on this site...
There is no realistic chance in heck that the oil make it to the playoffs
Assuming that history and the general consensus holds true the oil would need to amass a total of 55 to 56 PTs. Thus they would need 28 PTs in 20 games - record on order of 12 -4 -4. And they aren't going to do that with a so-so number one goalie and an AHL backup in such a compressed timeline to name just one of the flaws.
Trading between now and the deadline should be strictly for the purposes of making the team better next season and beyond.
Important to sign both Gagner and Smid to 4 years each. Hopefully Smid under 4 mil and Gagner only over 4 mil.
Oilers still have the training wheels on. need to see what kind of character the players we have have. Can they make the push? Or will they fold like a cheap tent? Patience is the optimum word here. Gagner is finally showing consistency and surprisingly GRIT. Magnus seems to have found the light and is dangerous, can he find consistency?
Off season we make signings and trades to fill the holes. Not this season. This season we toss bad contracts away.

Ah, hopes springs eternal.
If Calgary beats Dallas tonight and it's a 3 point game, the Oilers drop to 12th.
Since San Jose, Phoenix, Los Angeles Minnesota and Vancouver are all playing and using games in hand, the Oilers will actually be in a worse position than they were yesterday because multiple teams will get points tonight.
Lets see. SJ, Phoe, Van, not to mention Cal and Col ALL got zero points tonight. How exactly are the Oilers in a worse position?
I feel like we've been watching him for years already - and to think an 8-yr deal at this point would only take him to age 32.... crazy man.
I'd love to lock him up but realistically, he and Nuge are after the same role - and Nuge is a better option. I think they could only co-exist and be fully effective if we had two other monster centres.
Now we are talking, let the top 6 solidify nd begin to build chemistry and build from the bottom up. I absolutely agree with your analysis, we need to upgrade Horcoff and Belagner, we can roll with them for now but ASAP we need to find two bigger centers at least 6"2 and 210+ lbs to break opponents down physically for our smaller top 6, we need to lean on teams with our major muscle mass which has to come from our bottom 6 players.
We want teams to go pale and say oh my god when they see our skilled top 6 and we want them to go pale and say oh my god when they look at the bench and see our huge, lanky, mobile, hardhitting and system simple bottom 6 who are itching to rub them out like bad stains.
We have as solid a core as can be assembled already, all we need are the complimentary players to fill out the bottom 6, our real issue has been defining the top 6 to start with.
That is our top 6 .
Any and everyone beneath that top 6 can and must be juggled and mixed and matched and we cannot waver and mess with players heads, they all need to know who our top 6 are and they need to deal with it, any malcontents will be leaving the team soon anyways via trades, we need to trade some bottom 6 skill and some prospects for some bottom six size straight across. We can afford to take a small hit in the talent and skillset offensive areas as long as the defense is solid.We want the bottom six to be able to lean on teams really hard physically for 60 mins, heavy players who are tall and lanky and hard to handle. Their main job is to soften up the opposition for our top 6 skillsets.
We cant afford a small guy like Bellanger, or even a guy like Horcoff who is passive. we need a specific template to be filled and its that simple its not personal.
Both Nuge and Gagner are 3-D thinkers who see the game on a completely different level than everyone else, its lucky that we have two guys like that never mind that we actually have more than two of them now. They are definately the tandem we need, if Nuges line just kicks it up a tiny notch further offensively we will see the real one-two punch that two 3-D thinkers can provide from the same roster.
The Oilers had their chance to shake down Gagner for this many years already, for gods sakes we need to give players some slack just for staying here and dealing with our managment group. I hope he gets his 5 million per year and we would be smart to tie him up for at least 5 years.
We need to develop a territorialistic attitude and once we do that as a team it will hurt to play against us, right now we arent sure what to defend or how to defend it, we need to learn more the old fashioned way and become seasoned or we need to find a resource and take a crash course it learning what territorialism is and how to engage and maintain it and what moments and degrees it can and should be projected in .
I think we all need to sit back and relax and enjoy the show because my intuition tells me that the team has a new and healthy group perspective and direction, that they have made an internal committment to themselves on some level , I can feel it. They have come together in some new way they have not yet found so far this year, they have found common ground somewhere and it is leading them into the right mindset at the perfect time. The recent results are a product of a group mindset and the team managment both on and off-ice has had a much more dynamic flow and sequence to it for some reason. From the lines to the ways we are making adjustments to the system, we are finding our groove, our personality.
I put us in 6th place at the beginning of the season and am sticking with it. We arent making the playoffs like lambs this year, no one is, so either we are on a roll and peaking at the perfect time or we arent getting at post season peek at all.
Teams will start to fall off the grid soon and passion will be a difference maker, we have the team to take advantage of this shortened season dynamic, if we can keep focused and keep our energy and passion high we will give ourselves a chance to make the Playoffs and everyone knows that once that happens ANYTHING can happen. Our system is almost ready, we are able to adjust quite efficiently now, this is a playoff system when it is dialed in at one team at a time, we dont get to see the best this system has to offer until it is pitted against the same opposition in a series. Hopefully we get to see it this year.
This is the Witching Hour and we all need to galvanise around this group and support their new perspective , I have even promised myself not to say I hate our system as much just to do my part.
The same post where i predicted our 6th place finish I predicted that Sam would either lead the team in points or be pushing for the lead and that he would be the team leader and catalyst, obviously he has done as projected, now we just need to see the rest of the equation materialise.
Watch MPS the Lion batteling his way through the lines into the top 6 where he has always belonged, and in the process maturing into the first true skilled power forward we have developed in decades from within our own system.
Watch Ebbs the Swordsman fighting back to lead this team in points showing his moxy, he is nowhere near out of that race, in fact he is recently back in it as it seems the 1st line has found its optimum dynamic managment strategy again, much as they had it last year.
Watch Nuge the Wizard hitting the 60% mark in FOs already and remember that he said he wanted to improve, and we dont know what the word improve means to him,maybe he going to turn into a FO monster, it is entirely possible.
Watch Hall the Beast as he diversifys his game already and experiments as a playmaker for the first time at the NHL level, and realises he is a better scoring winger than a playmaker, but it is darn close, his points are numericlly the same but he can catalyse an entire line and lead the team as a scoring winger, this is called evolving and maturing. He stretched his wings and made some noise, but now is back to being a serious transitional scoring threat as he has now developed an arsenal of zone entry tactics that go beyond pure speed.
More importantly watch the bench when games are tight and Gagner is on the ice, these core players have reacted to him and it is what it is, they are counting on him and he has delivered all year long.
One last note, just because, how about that 8 point night--to all you fools who questioned and doubted Silent Sam, ha ha ha ha, it seems as if a round of Humble Pie has been bought for all of you, dig in and enjoy!!! ha ha ha .
And to add more fuel to that fire i say he is ready to break out for a six or more pointer soon, his line is now dynamiclly close to perfect and the PP is coming back and the refs are finally calling more penaltys for us at last, things are looking dynamiclly right for an explosion within three or four games. The game where either MPS or yakupov record their first hattrick will be this eruption because Sammy knows how to build on his lines sucess and there is no ceiling for him as long as they produce and push he will produce and match them in their energy for a full 60 mins. Really its just a matter of who sparks things first because you can count on the line going all out for 60 full minutes.
Yakupov just needs to watch Sams puck pursuit and transition from puck pursuit to postional focus and then to back checking, in that order, once Sam loses the puck he immediatly fights for position with his body to get it back he doesnt puck chase with his stick, he moves his feet and his body, and then he uses his stick,and he is a dogged backchecker who more often than not can generate takebacks by his responsible backchecking that doesnt draw penaltys, this is because he is sound positionally and never reaching with his stick to much. He also hits holes and shooting lanes and forces the d-men to adjust to his sphere of influence without the puck, these are ALL things Nail needs to work on , these are the little details he needs to be looking at, he is very reactive when he is asked to do something.
I am confident that if Ralph leaves him with Sam and MPS Nail will find his way sooner than later. Sam and Magnus will give Nail some dynamic consistancy out on the ice that he should be able to key in on very very well once he gains confidence in them as linemates, Gagner will catalyse the line quickly and MPS will execute zone traverses and remove puck advancement pressure from Yakupov not to mention provide a defensive support for him. Great things are coming once Yak learns to tune his radar into the dynamic consistancy Gagner can give him, it is different than system consistancy it goes beyond that. Yakupov is an instinctive player and his instincts have no place to catalyse from to begin his NHL learning curve because he has been bounced around like a beachball which for a player and a learner like him is the WORST way to handle him, statisticlly as opposed to intuatively.
Sam can teach Nail to execute the system and then find his offense from outside system dynamics not from only inside them as the coaches are looking for, he will learn to project Sams double threat of offense from both within and without the system but the focus will always be on executeing the system responsibilitys first.
In case no one is taking note Sam is working his tail off every night to execute Ralphs system dead on the money and this is where he is finding his sucess, by first doing his job as required by the system and then using the time left over he has created with his hard work and accuracy of execution to create "moonlighting offense" if you will ,ha ha ha, you need to work extra hard and for real to find sucess within this system of Ralphs but it can be done, as long as you execute properly first. Do your job first then use your spare time how you like if you can find any ha ha ha.
Rally men, Rally, all is not lost , not by a longshot. We have much more havoc and damage to cause before this year is over.
If they were planning to trade Smid, they should have done it last summer when they could have made a hockey trade to get a real NHL player back in return. Trading him for picks at the deadline is foolish and will set the "re-build" back a step.
For Gagner, they either need to sign him to a 3 year or longer deal, or trade him this summer, for the same reasons. If Gagner is not your guy, fine, trade him in a hockey trade for a real hockey player, and those deals generally done in the summer these days. If they move him they must get real hockey players in return. It needs to be a 1 for 1 or 2 for 1 deal where Edmonton is getting the "1".
The theme - this team needs real hockey players to go with the kids. No more hockey players for picks/prospect trades unless it is secondary players like Jones going the other way.
Sadly, I have NO faith in this management team to handle either Smid or Gagner well.

I bought this phone around 3 weeks ago in Hong Kong. And then I brought it to Vancouver, Canada. I discovered yellow tint few days ago. If I want to repair or replace the phone, I think I have to send the phone back to the local service center in Hong Kong and pay the postage fee myself? It doesn't make sense to me.
Be honest, I've never thought the QC of this phone is so poor by Sony. For this ridiculous high defect rate, I think all customers around the world should have free replacement/repair service instead of the customers pay for themselves.
I totally agree. I just red the Warranty manual and it states that the warranty in not tied to the country but to the region the phone was purchased in. It lists an example if the phone was purchased in Turkey and is also availabe in Switzerland you could service it in Switzerland.
It is somewhat misleading,
I need to ship my phone to Hong Kong as well but reading here and on ther formums XDA, EASTO and GSM Arena a lot of people have shipped the phone to the service centers and were told that teh parts will not be in for another 2 to 3 weeks.
A big letdown from Sony (Ericsson). Had my Sony Tablet S for over 6 months now with no issues at all but the XP S is driving me insane.
Sonys statment that only a limited number was effected cannot be true because people all around the world are having the yellow tint problem.
I just went to the Sony Service center in Hong Kong and been told there is no part available until end of April or early May.
Hi Markus,
Is their any country specific shipment or any production line which have this issue of YELLOW TINT, or it is random occuring anywhere in any Xperia S across the globe....
For example i am in KSA * want to purchase the Xperia S, Now Should i be worried of having a yellow tint ???
what i read from the threads above most of the people are from Hongkong or US.
Please suggest...Answer below will make me take a decision of buying it.
Hi Guys,
I live in the UK, and i just got my replacement of my Xperia S from my phone network by them doing a doorstep swap which was great, meant i didnt have to actually send off my phone to get fixed. I just got a brand new one, and so far so good, looks like sony have definatly fixed it now!
Seems like the network companies are much easier to get a replacement rather then going through sony.... as sony needs you to send in the phone in...
I totally agree with you, and i also got almost the same experience. I think there is only l limited no of phone are affected not affected.
By the time , i got a meaningless response from the manager of the service hotline ," at this moment , there is no stock of spare parts and no product recall plan right now, but you can keep your phone in repair centre and wait for repairment"
Anyway, will anyone use HK$4988 to but a faulty new phone and keep in service centre and waiting for repair for more then 3 weeks???
In the situation, i had report this case to Apple daily (local newspaper) and set up page in facebook, any one got the same problem, please search"Sony Xperia S screen Problem" in facebook or get some help from apple daily, hot line: 29290000. Let's joint our voice, may be we should consult the consumer council in HK.
Guys I got a quick question. Does the yellow tint stay after it reaches back to roughly 27c? I know it appears after it reaches to 40c+, but what about afterwards?
I have two S's imported from HK to the USA. Both suffer from screen issues. Mine however gets the edge yellow and bright yellow spot in the lower righthand corner from just browsing the web for a minute and getting the phone up to around 28C which is in sharp contrast to the 40C+ statement from Sony. I was told from Sony support that I would have to get it fixed in Hong Kong as it "hasn't been released in the United States, yet."
So if you owned Sony how would you handle the new screen production? Would you put them in phones that are badly needed to ship to carriers who have contracted orders or would you kindly give them to service centers to replace the screens at a huge cost to the company for the suckers who already have the phone (and not their money anymore)?
I think what we should all do is post on all the xperia s reviews on the internet in the comments section about our problems with the screen as a deterrent to anyone considering picking up this phone.
And if you (as in Sony) think i'm lying about the yellow screen at low temps, i'll gladly trade a youtube video of it as proof for two replacement phones.
Hi Markus,
Could you Please Answer,
How can Only Some XPERIA S can have this problem, when countries from all over the world are registering this issue.
If they are only some that means, one production line specific in which problem occures or the shipment of some countries have issues.
But from below link you will see that people from most of the countries are having this issue..
Please give us some clear picture, So We could decide on purchase or wait until some solution is provided by SONY.
IT WILL BE MY FIRST SMARTPHONE EVER....I don't want to take chances..
BaD Service from Sony. Why do we even have to wait for replacement display to arrive when it's their manufacturing mistake? They expect us consumer to wait for the new display yet they are still selling the model. Shouldn't they be recalling all the affected unit and doing a replacement for it instead of just swapping out the faulty display? Have to endure the unsightly tinted screen for another 2 weeks before the replacement screen will arrive. REAL BAD.

Facebook (FB) starts trading today as the newest member of the much-watched Nasdaq 100 index, leading investors to wonder if shares will get a further lift as a result.
In afternoon trading, Facebook shares were down 1.4% to $27.60.
The No. 1 social networking stock is the latest addition to the Nasdaq 100, which is a collection of the 100 most-valuable non-financial stocks that trade on the Nasdaq. Investors found out last week the stock was being added to the index to replace outsourcing firm Infosys, which is moving to the New York Stock Exchange.
Investors are wondering whether the addition to the index might generate additional buying of the stock since mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that mirror the Nasdaq 100 will need to buy shares. The Nasdaq 100 is the benchmark for 7,100 investment products worldwide with an invested value of $1 trillion, Nasdaq says. That's a significant pool of buying considering Facebook has a market value of $60 billion.
The addition to the Nasdaq 100 also comes at a fortunate time for Facebook. Shares of the company, which went public in May 2012 at $38 a share, have been recovering since hitting their low of $17.73 on Sept. 4. At Tuesday's close of $27.57, Facebook shares are 27% below their IPO price and 57% above their low.
Investors are encouraged with the company's progress making money off mobile users and the stock has been upgraded by analysts since falling more than 50% from the IPO price.
Additionally, many observers who assumed Facebook's stock would collapse following large unlocking of shares that allowed employees to sell, have been wrong. Facebook's shares have largely rallied, including following a massive Nov. 14 unlock that freed up 777 million shares to be sold.
While just being added to the Nasdaq 100 alone isn't likely to be a big driver for the stock, the upward momentum of Facebook shares continues to lure investors and any good news adds to that, says Francis Gaskins of IPO Desktop Premium. "With any stock able to recover like that, many people will get interested," he says. Being added to the Nasdaq 100, "is not critical, but a plus."

Woman admits to providing guns to Deputy Kyle Pagerly's killer
Sandra Keim sentenced to 3 years probation; 2 others to be in court next month
READING, Pa. - One of three people accused of providing guns to the killer of Deputy Sheriff Kyle Pagerly has pleaded guilty.
Sandra Keim, 50, of Kempton, was sentenced in Berks County court Wednesday to three years probation on charges of illegal sale or transfer of firearms.
Two other people charged in the case -- Maurice Connor and Jared Engleman -- are due in court next month. Connor, a retired police officer from Cherry Hill, N.J., is the father of Matthew Connor, the man accused of killing Pagerly in Albany Township on June 29.
Connor and Engleman are accused of supplying guns to Matthew Connor, including the one he used to kill Pagerly as a team of law enforcement officers attempted to arrest him. Connor was also killed in the exchange of gunfire.
An investigation by the Berks County district attorney's office revealed that Keim, the mother of a friend of Matthew Connor's, bought him three handguns, two in 2004 and one in 2005, according to court documents. None was used in the killing of Pagerly, police said.
Matthew Connor was not legally allowed to own or possess any firearms because of numerous run-ins he had with the law since 2000, police said.

|Sony Alpha NEX-3 / NEX-5 review
This promises the quality and lens flexibility of a DSLR but in a much more portable package. It's the same theory behind the Micro Four Thirds standard developed by Panasonic and Olympus, but rather than adopt this existing system, Sony has taken a different route, both physically and in terms of target audience.
Most importantly, the NEX cameras employ larger sensors than the Micro Four Thirds standard – in terms of surface area they're over 50% larger. Indeed the NEX sensors are exactly the same size as those in Sony's range of cropped-frame DSLRs. Rather than recycling an existing sensor though, Sony's developed a new CMOS model for the NEX cameras which offers 14.2 Megapixel resolution and HD movie capabilities. The latter is one of the major differences between the NEX-3 and NEX-5, with the former supporting 720p resolution and the latter boasting 1080i, but the still image quality on both models is identical.
The NEX cameras may share the Alpha branding, but to exploit their shorter lens-to-sensor distance, a new mounting has been developed. The new E-mount supports three lenses at launch: an 18-55mm standard zoom, an 18-200mm super-zoom and a 16mm pancake model. The lens mount may be different from Sony's DSLRs, but by sharing the same sensor size, the field-reduction remains 1.5 times. So the 18-55mm kit lens delivers an equivalent range of 27-83mm and the 16mm pancake works like a 24mm.
Unlike the Alpha DSLRs though, there's no room for stabilisation to be built-into the NEX bodies, so instead Sony's equipped the two zooms with optical stabilisation; there's no stabilisation for the 16mm pancake. Sony also offers an adapter which allows the NEX cameras to use Alpha lenses, but they become manual focus only.
Despite their compact dimensions, Sony's fitted both the NEX-3 and NEX-5 with high resolution screens which vertically tilt for easier composition at high and low angles. They also offer fast continuous shooting options at up to 7fps, so long as you're willing to have the focus and exposure locked at the first frame.
This fast continuous shooting is also exploited in a number of innovative modes first seen on selected Sony Cyber-shot compacts, like the HX5. Like that model, the Handheld Twilight and Anti Motion Blur modes automatically combine six exposures to reduce noise or camera shake respectively. Then there's the HDR mode which automatically combines three different exposures to extend the dynamic range of the image. The NEX cameras also feature Sony's clever Stitch Panorama mode, which automatically generates a wide panoramic image with a single sweep of the camera; NEX cameras updated to firmware version 2 even offer an option which generates a 3D panorama for compatible TVs.
All this is packed into tiny bodies which actually make existing Micro Four Thirds models look relatively large, and adding extra class are metal-bodied kit lenses. What makes the NEX cameras really different to rival cameras which pack large sensors into small bodies though is their target audience and user interface. While Panasonic, Olympus and Samsung all target point-and-shoot owners looking to upgrade, they also acknowledge enthusiasts looking to complement (or even replace) a DSLR with a degree of control and customisation they'd expect.
Not Sony though, which unashamedly aims the first two NEX cameras at those upgrading point-and-shoot cameras. While there is full manual control available, both NEX cameras have minimal buttons and a user interface designed for beginners. Many settings are buried away in various menus, and while this keeps things simple for beginners, it could infuriate more experienced users.
In our full review, we'll take a close look at the innovative features of the NEX cameras, along with the software which drives them. Does the big sensor really deliver DSLR-quality and is the kit zoom a good match for it in practice? Is the movie mode a viable replacement for a conventional camcorder? Do the innovative shooting modes extend the performance of the camera, or are they best-suited to traditional compacts? And as importantly, what's the handling like on such a small body and does the beginner-friendly user interface help or hinder? Read on to find out!
Sony Alpha NEX-3 and NEX-5 differences
The Sony Alpha NEX-3 and NEX-5 are identical apart from the following:
NEX-3 body is made from plastic / NEX-5 body is made from magnesium alloy.
Testing notes
We tested a final production Alpha NEX-5 updated to run firmware version 2. The cheaper NEX-3 shares the same sensor, so the image quality seen here is reflective of what's possible with that model. While the review is based on using the NEX-5, we'll illustrate the minor differences between it and its cheaper sibling throughout. We tested the NEX-5 with a final production 18-55mm kit lens. We were also supplied with a pre-production 16mm pancake, but due to widely reported issues with the image quality, only used it for physical evaluation; all results here were taken with the 18-55mm.
