At last summer's draft, the Edmonton Oilers made a somewhat controversial selection early in round 2. Mitchell Moroz--20 fighting majors, excellent size, speed and enough toughness to give smaller, less skilled linemates room to create. Moroz' scouting report was manna from heaven for the Edmonton Oilers, and they jumped at the opportunity to select him. A year later, was it a good move?
This season, the Oil Kings (to my eye) did not employ Moroz on a skill line; in fact, for much of the season he was part of a designated "shutdown line" with Travis Ewanyk and Klarc Wilson. That line was a big part of an early season turnaround and Bruce McCurdy from Cult Of Hockey gave a great description of the line:
- McCurdy:The Oil Kings have two full-fledged scoring lines, so the Moroz-Ewanyk-Wilson trio is cast in the traditional third line role. They do get bonus time on the second powerplay due to the unconventional make-up of the five-forward first unit. While advanced stats like ZoneStart and QualComp (or TOI for that matter) are unavailable at this level, by eye they have been getting the same sort of assignments that you might expect to see a Smyth-Horcoff-Jones line get at the NHL level. The type of minutes that since-graduated Oil Kings like Rhett Rachinski and Jordan Peddle covered off in last year's playoff run.
I think that was the story of Moroz this season. Despite post-draft discussions about his playing on a skill line in 13-14, the Oil Kings coaching staff saw him as a checking option with enforcer ability.
If the Oil King coaching staff, under the watchful eyes of the Oiler organization, see Moroz in a checking/enforcer role, who are we to argue?
The Oilers management has been telling for us years--and were probably telling the scouting department--there was an organizational need for a big, tough enforcer type who might be skilled enough to jump up into a top 6F role. Somewhere between Lucic and Glencross, there must be someone who can fill the void.
The search goes back to the turn of the century. In the early 2000's, the Edmonton Oilers spent at least one pick per season on a big forward. These men routinely belonged in the 4th or 5th round but the Oildrop plucked them 50 slots earlier in order to make certain they'd be Oilers. Size mattered.
From 2000 through 2004, the Oilers spent at least one valued pick per draft on a player with size and some questionable offense:
- 2000-#35-C Brad Winchester, 6'5, 210.
- 2001-#52-C Eddie Caron, 6'2, 230.
- 2002-#79-LW Brock Radunske, 6'4, 199.
- 2003-#51-RW Colin McDonald, 6'2, 190.
- 2003-#68-LW JF Jacques, 6'3.5, 217.
- 2003-#94-RW Zach Stortini, 6'4, 225.
- 2004-#57-C Geoff Paukovich, 6'4, 207.
When the lockout ended, rule changes suggested that skill would be more important and the Oilers drafted smaller forwards (Cogliano, Gagner, etc) but the 2012 draft saw Edmonton shoot the moon again in an effort to find the modern Mike Bloom.
Tom Wilson was the highest ranked enforcer type in the 2012 draft, and he was the first to come off the books. Here's the Bob McKenziepre-ranking, with the actual selection listed second:
- #18 Tom Wilson (went #16 to Washington)
- #36 Henrik Samuelsson (went #27 to Phoenix)
- #52 Lukas Sutter (went #39 to Winnipeg)
- #56 Mitchell Moroz (went #32 to Edmonton)
Since the draft, Wilson and Samuelsson have improved greatly, Sutter has taken a step backward and Moroz has improved slightly season over season:
- Wilson 1.208ppg this season, .551ppg a year ago (+ .657ppg)
- Samuelsson 1.16ppg this season, .821ppg a year ago (+ .339ppg)
- Moroz .493ppg this season, .379ppg a year ago (+ .114ppg)
- Sutter .333ppg this season, .843 a year ago (- .509ppg)
Based on this season's totals, it would seem the Oilers made the right choice by taking Moroz over Sutter. He certainly had the better season. Samuelsson is emerging as an outstanding young prospect, and Wilson had a strong season, too.
The Oilers spent a lot of picks on this player type a decade ago, and the quicker the club fills this "need" the better, as there are other organizational areas of need (goaltending, center) that have to be addressed.
My guess is that the Oilers fell short of getting the skill enforcer they were looking for, but that Mitchell Moroz may have a solid future as an Ethan Moreau-type: 15 goals and solid checking with the ability to imtimidate and drop the gloves.
A very useful player if he makes it. The Oilers avoided Lukas Sutter and appear to have a legit prospect in Moroz. He'll do much of his work outside the scoring lines should he make the NHL.
March 21 2013, 07:48AM
I was hoping beyond hope they would have been able to get Henrik.... they needed to trade up, something, to get him. Dont know if there was a deal to be made to get that extra fist round pick, I guess well never know.
Retarded pick, I can only hope he turns into a useful nhler. I think the odds are against that though.
March 21 2013, 08:15AM
A more eager version of Eager perhaps. Didnt like the pick then, still dont like it now. I really wanted them to make a deal to grab Samuelsson at the draft but i think we all did.
@The Oilers Shot Clock
Yes, I think we all did....
At the risk of being a pessimist, I bet Moroz doesn't have an NHL career.
They should have drafted Brandon Saad in the 2nd round back in 2011 but took Musil instead because they were filling an organizational need. Why they continue to draft for need vs. best player available I will never understand.
March 21 2013, 09:20AM
I talked to Rich Sutter, Lukas's dad at a Pirates game while at the draft after the first two rounds, he told me the Oilers had said that if Moroz was gone they were going to take Lukas.Being from Viking I had always hoped a Sutter would play for the Oilers, I guess there are a couple more that could be NHL's someday, for now just Duane the scout.
With Gagner, Nuge, Hall, Eberle, Yakupov, and Paajarvi, I'd suggest our top 6 will be solid for years to come (I'll suggest 5-10 years). So I don't blame them for drafting guys who will need to fill into spots they need down the road (ie: bottom six). A guy who can shut other players down is incredibly valuable, and if he provides that grit and the potential to jump into the top 6 in the event of injuries, even better. I, for one, am a big Moroz fan, but I hope his development is a little faster than our more recent 2nd round picks.
The Oilers were so focused on drafting for size that they were complete blind to any of the better options that were available. Moroz was a terrible choice. He's a player who was on an above average team that helped heighten his box scores; even then he didn't stand out.
Oilers late round drafting has been a sore spot, they need to look outside the west.
March 21 2013, 09:42AM
If Moroz had been a 3rd or 4th round pick I would have liked it. I don't think there is any chance he is a top six NHLer but he could become a useful bottom six guy. Unfortunately people might always hate on him for being a second round pick like they hate on Horcoff for being paid 5 million a season. For a junior player he's effective at his role. His line plays fairly good defense, and often spends their shifts cycling in the offensive zone. Every once in a while Moroz flashes some skill and roofs the puck. He also plays with the physicality and nastiness that none of the guys on that list did (Winchester, Jacques, etc). Next season he'll probably play in the top six on a weaker Oil Kings team. May have a shot at the world juniors too. I've come around to like the guy. Cheering all the way for him.
Mike Winther was available and expressed his desire to be an Oiler. The Oilers told him if they could get another 2nd round pick they'd take him, didn't happen. Instead Dallas traded Mike Rebiero to get the pick that drafted Winther.
The Oilers missed out on a Todd Marchant type player who has more of a gritty edge to his game. Exactly what the Oilers have lacked since trading Marchant.
Anyone watching the Rebels/Raiders playoffs this weekend keep an eye on Winther. Will stand out in important games.
March 21 2013, 09:51AM
I have total confidence in young Mitch. Barring injury and non-hockey related setbacks, he is better than a 50-50 bet to maybe someday develop into a solid AHL depth player. Wonderful pick from an incompetant scouting system/management gruppo.
So he improved offensively, playing on a shutdown line? So does that mean he's stacking up against the tough competition? Is he succeeding in his shutdown role? If so I that sounds like fantastic news. Having a guy that has been effective at shutting down tough competition while still being able to improve his offence, likely while playing on a defence first type of line sounds like a solid developing prospect.
I know the adage is that you can always teach defence. But any prospect that is defensively aware out of the gate will have a much easier transition into the NHL.
This would seem to make sense. They want Ewanyk and Moroz to be bottom 6 NHLers. Why have him develop as a scorer then switch in the AHL to a checker.
They are attempting to identify early players that are well suited to that roll draft them and then mold development tailored to the specific player.
Here's hoping it turns out.
I'm not sure why you would suggest the Oilers fell short in getting their skilled enforcer? It could be that they got exactly what they thought they were getting and Moroz's more defined 3rd line role with the Oil Kings may be further indication of that.
It is tough to imagine anyone looking at the Moroz selection and seriously believing that this was a top 6 hail mary, nevermind seasoned hockey minds like Stu.
However, it is easier to see that this team is in equal dire need for some multi-tool bottom sixers as well and Moroz could possibly fit in there. A tough, hard skating third liner that can intimidate, on a team with a complete void in toughness, can be just as useful as a top 6er that can intimidate.
I think you nailed the Moreau reference - albeit with less offence - and this team could desparately use a pre-captain Ethan Moreau right now.
I think the way Moroz was handeled - Ewanyk as well - is an indicator of just how involved the Oilers are in using the Oil Kings as a development tool.
I'm very happy they took Moroz & I think he'll be a very useful Oiler down the road! Enough skill & aggressiveness to warrant the 2nd round pick! Henrik will be an aggressivesive player but no scrapper, it's in his genes! Comments on here suggesting a trade up should have been a fore gone conclusion! Just who would the Oilers trade to move up that anybody would want?
Moroz is no coke machine either, get a grip!
March 21 2013, 10:44AM
Where would our Oilers be if it weren't for having these first overall selections.
Still looks to be all gong show after that first selection every year. MacGregor appears to be no better than Pendergast.
When the Oilers picked Yak everyone could see the offensive-zone upside. Watching him in the other two zones, it's clear he wasn't asked to learn much about where to go and what to do in the rest of the rink when the other team has the puck.
So with the next pick the Oilers went for someone with some size and belligerence and enough hand-eye coordination to put up some points. Good debate at the time about the fans' reaction if Zharkov and Moroz had been chosen in the opposite order. Bottom line, today the Oilers spent two picks and have the rights to both prospects.
With Moroz now in the system, on a team that the Oilers have direct influence over, coach has decided to assign him a season's worth of training in actual hockey skills that will keep him employed at the NHL level if he does them right. (Paging Mr. Eager, Mr. Hordichuk, Mr. Brown, Mr. Petrell and Mr. Jones, a cheaper replacement for at least one of you is developing in the system).
A person could look at this as evidence that Moroz was drafted way too soon and leave it at that, or could look at it as evidence that there is a plan involving selection and development before ELCs and NHL contracts apply. Assumptions matter.
Who knows what would have transpired if Zharkov had been picked in place of Moroz? Would the Oil Kings be using Moroz the same way this year if his rights belonged to, say, New Jersey?
I don't think this issue is black and white at all.
March 21 2013, 11:01AM
"The Oilers spent a lot of picks on this player type a decade ago, and the quicker the club fills this "need" the better, as there are other organizational areas of need (goaltending, center) that have to be addressed."
As long as the "good ole boys saw him good" is the baseline for jr and pro scouting this will never end. In fact, if the team is ever successful and land a Lucic or a Benn that will simply validate their stupid logic. Expect more stupidity.
"15 goals and solid checking with the ability to imtimidate and drop the gloves."
I would think if they can ever get 15 goals out of him in the nhl over a 3 season span they'd be laughing. No way he score more than 8 a year barring some freakish turnaround in his development.
Moroz and that hopeless list of coke machines above ought to put the lie to the people clamoring for more size, grit, etc.
I always look at early second rounders as first rounders who fell through the cracks. Moroz was never a late first rounder in anyones eyes, the Oilers chose to draft by need not best player available. There no right or wrong. Frankly I'd always go with BPA in the first two rounds, and I think if he becomes a useful 3rd or 4th liner then we should eat crow. Hard to project how it will turn out or if the Oil made a mistake. At least he was in the best WHL organization for development and I hope this has positive arrows for his development.
March 21 2013, 11:20AM

Oilers late round drafting has been a sore spot, they need to look outside the west.
Not that Moroz is a surefire NHLer - jury is still out - but I would contend that his numbers were hurt, not helped, by being on a 3rd line of a very good team. Laxdal plays the crap out of his top 2 lines - especially in offensive zone starts. I would suggest Moroz's numbers would be better as a 1st line player in say .... Moose Jaw, than a 3rd liner in Edmonton.
At the end of the day, big numbers do not typically get generated unless you get a fair bit of PP and top six opportunities. If he has less than 50 points next year in a starring role on this team then we have issues.
As a 19 year old in the top 6 next year, I would expect 65 or more points, even though the team will likely be weaker. The kid has scored some pretty nice goals. I would say skill has always been there ... opportunity has not. Sammuelsson is certainly a tier above in terms of talent, and would have been a very good pick, but too early to write off Moroz IMO. He may not end up being Milan Lucic but he is definitely NOT Cameron Abney either.
I am thinking a Ryane Clowe type is not out of the question based on skillset, size and numbers. Having said that these are kids so who the hell knows??
Raise the draft age by a year and you would see a lot of scouting staffs get better over night! Drafting 18 year olds is a real crap-shoot.
PS - I bet scouts and management just laugh at all the "told ya so" comments about this player and that player.
In typical Oilers fashion, the Oilers once again get criticized for who they draft.
- Oilers got criticized for drafting Hall. Fans wanted Seiguin as he was a centre. - Oilers criticized for drafting RNH. Fans wanted Landeskog of Larsson. They said RNH was too small - Some fans criticized the Oilers for drafting Yakupov. They wanted Ryan Murray as he was Canadian. -They got criticized for the Brown trade.
No matter what the Oilers do, some fans will find something to criticize the team for. It's the Oilers fans way.
March 21 2013, 01:12PM
@The Beaker
Absolutely bang-on. Theres no way that phoenix would part with the #27 for #31 plus something? Mr. Dithers comes through again for us. The Oilers were high on Samuelsson, kid is unreal. Moroz was a backup plan that was a miserable selection. When Henrik Samuelsson makes it to the 'chel and crushes an oiler and gets suspended, I will shed a single tear, and not for our guy...
March 21 2013, 01:31PM
It's not fair to critisize a management group for not moving up in a draft. That's what the draft is. You wait your turn and select whom you think is best of the players still availiable. I could give a list of ten players every draft who I would like the oilers to trade up and get. Every team will have that. But unless you are willing to pay a steep price for a potential player you wait your turn.
March 21 2013, 01:37PM
i'm not so sure they picked the right guys, but other than the first overalls, and eberle, the oiles drafting has been atrocious.
if they were so bent on finding a similar styled player to lucic why did they not take kassian when he was available to them in the 09 draft?
they came way up the board to take a player whose junior numbers are substantially inferior to jf jaques. can we really expect any offense out of a guy who is under half a ppg?
dont really see this guy having any impact on the oilers other than a wasted high second round pick. third one in a row.
March 21 2013, 02:08PM
They'll have to give Mitch a look see but he has little chance of playing in the NHL....Zharkov, Khaira and Brandon Davidson were better picks than Mitch.
March 21 2013, 02:14PM
It is a good thing that perceived 'bang for your buck' doesn't apply to evaluation of oiler pro and amature scouts. If it did, and if Katz paid ANY attention to the oilers whatsoever, they would all be replaced. What a senseless waste of salary, paying clowns to agonize over who to select 1st overall, and then they just follow Bob Mckenzie's list. Then, giddy like school girls, they piss away the remaining value picks(Plante, Moroz). And any pro scout recommending Khabbi, or predicting success for a big defender who skates like an ankler(Teubert)... it just seems like it is possible that management is trying to fail to spite Northlands.
March 21 2013, 02:21PM
Sure that's great, there's always wonderful picks to be had, just look to 2003, that still stings. However, When the Oilers are picking #1, there needs to be far more time and effort devoted to the rest of the draft. ESPECIALLY When you're picking #31. That's basically two 1st rounders. and no way was Moroz a late 1st rounder. Any moron could have told you to take yakupov over murray and to be honest I wouldn't be disappointed with either landeskog or seguin, both have been fantastic so far.
I took a look at the Oilers draft record in the past 15 years, here: http://www.coppernblue.com/2013/3/21/4130774/whats-wrong-with-the-oilers-amateur-scouting-analysis
The Oilers under Prendergast had middling draft results.
What they will be under MacGregor, is almost certain to be better due to the young guns themselves. Even if you take out the 3-1st Overall picks. By the logic I have employed the Oilers are in the top 5 in the Western Conference for drafting.
We can criticize the Oilers drafting, but the last Flame 2nd Round pick to play more than 1 game in the NHL was Kurtis Foster in 2000. Or the Coyotes whose best pick ever is Keith Yandle, and Ben Eager is in their top 5 best forward picks. There is allot worse going around.
March 21 2013, 04:45PM
These are the picks I see as definate positives for the scouting staff:
#22 Jordan Eberle #163 Teemu Hartikaizen #10 Magnus Paajarvi #1 Taylor Hall #1Ryan Nugent-Hopkins #1 Nail Yakupov
The picks that I believe will be positives
#40 Anton Lander #46 Martin Marincin #19 Oscar Klefbom #31 David Musil #92 Dillon Simpson #114 Tobias Rieder #122 Martin Gernat
Other picks that I don't hold against them and that could be positives
#133 Philippe Cornet #101 Toni Rajala #133 Olivier Roy #162 Brandon Davidson #181 Kristians Pelss
All of last years draft outside of Yakupov is much too early to make a call on. As are almost all these picks. Players generally deserve till they are 25 to right them off so we shall see...

Are you nuts?
Phoenix draft choices:
Ekman-Larsson - 160GP
Boedker - 238GP
Turris - 216GP
Mueller - 284 GP
Hanzal - 373 GP
Yandle - 395GP
Wheeler - 354GP
Porter 176GP
Still too early to tell on their later draft choices but they've had exceptional drafting.
March 21 2013, 05:26PM
How many players play for them? And OEL, Wheeler, Turris, and Mueller were all top 5 picks. Wasn't Boedker 8th overall aswell?
Statistically speaking, that is not that impressive. On 92 Players drafted from 1997-2007 - to have 11 players with more than 160 games (2 full seasons in the NHL.) They average 53 Games per draft pick made and .31 PPG of draft picks that actually play, which is the worst in the Western conference. Then from 2007-2012 they have had 2 players with more than 160 games.
So while there are some good players, every team drafts some good players, the end result is that they have the worst drafting in the Western Conference by some distance.
Put in another way in the last 15 years, draft picks from San Jose played more than DOUBLE the number of games that Phoenix draft picks have played in the NHL. That is huge.
In addition, Colorado, LA & Chicago were also more than DOUBLE - so we are not talking about just one team with amazing draft success, or even one player that is affecting the results.
March 21 2013, 06:47PM
Don't bet against Moroz, peeps. He's brings a lot to the table. He may accomplish more than what people have pegged him to.
I'd even bet he ends up being on the 2nd unit PP as a net front presence in the future.
As you can tell I like him and will cheer for him to succeed. What I think he needs to do is not get confused as to his role. Play big, strong, bullish hockey.
Genghis Khan type mentality, yo. You either surrender or he's gonna burn the whole freakin' city to the ground.
Give 'em hell in the Playoffs, Moroz!
Moroz was not going to be available in later rounds, and the Oil liked him so they took him when they did. So what. He has about a 20% chance of making the roster, just like any other second round pick, and if he does everyone can quit b!tching about how the oil don't have enough size.
Gagner gets a point every game and everyone still wants to trade him, if I were the Oilers I wouldn't draft anyone under two hundred pounds ever again since the fanbase are such a bunch of dorks about it.
Pretty easy when you have the #1 pick.
Face it Oilers have drafted poorly compared to other teams.
If Moroz does not work out today lets wait 10 more years to make an evaluation .
Poor upper management.
Pretty easy when you have the #1 pick.

What are you talking about?
Pajaarvi, Eberle, Hartikainen and Petry were not number one picks, and all look like good NHL players. That's just in the dark years since the cup run.
Who know's if Musil, Davidson, Klefbom, Pitlick, Klefbom, and Moroz will be NHLer's or not, but even if all of them stink, this scouting department has done pretty well with the picks that weren't #1's.
Check your facts.
Bingo! I'm sick and tired of most of your sick and tired. Nothing happens overnight people....big breath in, big breath out. Now carry on with your lives
I wasn't a fan of the pick then and I am not a fan of the pick today. Pick 32 is essentially another 1st round pick and to me should still be treated with a best player available mentality. I have less of a problem taking flyers on guys like Khaira and Zharkov with the later picks. Those guys might not have the floor that Moroz has but I do believe that they offer a better ceiling. I hope Moroz pans out but I don't see him offering anything that can't be found in free agency.

BAM! Rarely has DSF been so comprehensively bodyslammed. Touche, my friend.
March 22 2013, 09:32AM
not a big Moroz fan, but i keep hoping he might turn out to be something for us in the future and not another Cam Abney.
March 22 2013, 10:53AM
Of course, Ethan Moreau had a much different junior career than Moroz.
March 22 2013, 05:21PM
Obviously the Oil liked what they saw in Moroz so much that they were unwilling to risk him not being there next round.
Hank Aaron had almost twice as many strikeouts as he had home runs.
It is what it is. They saw something they liked and went for it. I can never fault anyone for doing that.
We wait.

About Bill Morris
A foundation of children's book publishing, William C. Morris worked at HarperCollins Children's Books for 50 years. He started out as a temp, became a salesman, and finally became the head of the advertising and library promotion department. Every inch of his office floor and desk space was filled with papers, files, books, and three overflowing rolodexes containing the names and phone numbers of every librarian, teacher, university professor, author and artist he knew. A legend in the industry, he never saw himself as a legend. Instead he saw himself as a middleman, a liaison between HarperCollins and the institutional world. The fact that he was aware of the tastes of every librarian he knew -- and he knew a thousand or more -- was something he just thought was part of his job. Bill loved his job.
His legacy also included a large estate, a good portion of which he left to more than one division within ALA. Funds from this estate are helping to make this Symposium possible, a fact Bill would have been very proud of, for young adult literature, young adult librarians, and young adult authors were very close to his heart.
Friends of YALSA
Give $10 in '10
YALSA is launching a major campaign to add many more members to its Friends of YALSA group by encouraging everyone to "Give $10 in '10." The Financial Advancement Committee has voted to use all funds collected during 2010 to support YALSA's Advocacy efforts by paying for the cost of printing materials, helping to defray expenses of members who travel to promote advocacy, and developing an oline class in Advocacy Techniques. This is a great Opportunity to show your support for YALSA, and give back to a division that helps everyone who works with teens by contributing $10 to the Friends of YALSA fund. Giving any multiples of $10 will be highly appreciated. If you would like to make your donation in person, there will be many opportunities to do so while you are at the Literature Symposium. Directions for giving can be found on the YALSA website [1]

Split from "Decode No More", since it seems to be turning into a topic of its own. -- Jonathan
I have the same problem. The "critical mind" (left brain) needs to shut down and it doesn't want to.
In addition to repeated reading with intentional expression (mentioned by Jeffrey),
I'd suggest adding gestures, acting out the thoughts.
According to one expert on second language acquisition (J. Asher), the physical action of gesturing helps to bypass the critical part of our brain (left brain) that slows down learning with its desire to spell every word, understand the names of every construction or parse every form. Since many of us had traditional grammar/translation training, we developed that critical function extensively. So for us, it can be a big challenge to overcome the critical, gate-keeping part of your brain and just let the language in.
I've been using memorization together with gestures to overcome the pull of decoding. Once I can effortlessly and fluidly recite (and at the same time "gesture") a passage, my critical mind goes quiet and I really start soaking in the language as language, rather than code.
I'm sold on "gesturing." Let me give an example of one little succes story. I change my hand motion depending on case. If the text says εἴπεν αὐτῷ my hand is gesturing (to an imaginary αὐτῷ) palm up, as if offering a gift. If the text says εἴδεν αὐτόν my hand is pointing with two fingers, palm down. (I save the standard one finger point for other things than accusative). This has very helpful in understanding cases at a gut level. My students readily understand that διδωμι should go with αὐτῷ and τύπτω (hit) should go with αὐτόν even though they have yet to a) see written Greek, or b) get a whiff of terms like "Genitive" and "Accusative." Gesturing has potential for teaching, but, for me, it has proven value for my own learning. I will go on pulling the curtains and gesticulating away in my office, no matter if I never teach again.
Gestures help the Greek to sneak by that great left-brain decoding addict and slip into the half of the brain that receives indiscriminately and in large gulps.

Post-Game: The Wild Get Mild
Ryan Pike
February 23 2013 11:11PM
The Flames were back in action on Saturday for their final Saturday home game of the season, this time welcoming the Minnesota Wild to the friendly confines of the Scotiabank Saddledome.
What would materialize when one of the league's worst home teams faced off against one of the league's worst road teams? The answer would be....a fairly typical Flames/Wild tilt. Low-event, low-scoring and punctuated by a 39-minute scoreless stretch from mid-way through the first until mid-way through the third. Oh, and some fairly awful officiating.
Calgary opened the scoring fairly early in the opening period. Jay Bouwmeester missed on a pinch from the point, leading to an odd-man rush by the Wild. Their forward whiffed on a two-on-one one-timer, allowing Bouwmeester to rush back and deposit a gorgeous stretch pass to Alex Tangauy. Left all alone, Tanguay wristed the puck over a sprawling Niklas Backstrom to put the Flames up 1-0.
Fans were then treated to six minutes of Flames/Wild, low-chance hockey. This period of low-chance hockey was broken up by Charlie Coyle's first NHL goal, on a nearly-perfect slap-pass from Pierre-Marc Bouchard. MacDonald had basically no chance at making the save. The game was tied at one apiece.
The Wild carried the play for the remainder of the first. The Wild out-shot Calgary 13-7 in the opening period. The Flames, however, led in icings by a shocking 5-1 margin.
The second was, to be blunt, a fairly tepid example of the game of hockey. The shots were 11-7 for the Flames. Calgary had two icings to Minnesota's one. Very little happened. Notable was Chris Butler being horse-collared by Mike Rupp without a penalty call. Also, Akim Aliu and Rupp were given 10-minute misconducts mid-way through the period for seemingly no reason. It wasn't announced in the press box and scuttlebutt was that it was for beaking each other and not calming down when told to by the referees. Aliu also had a tremendous body check in his own zone that probably (definitely) was charging. Or boarding. Or something. Either way, it led to the only shift of sustained pressure for the fourth line all game.
The grind continued throughout the third period, although Calgary gradually began to carry more and more of the play until, mid-way through the second, the Flames scored a goal – the first goal by anybody in nearly 40 full minutes of hockey.
A Chris Butler point shot was stopped by Backstrom. Jarome Iginla jammed at it, Backstrom kept it out. Matt Stajan jammed at it, then got his own rebound and it trickled in for his second of the year. The Flames led 2-1.
Also noteworthy in the third period was the inspired play of one Sven Baertschi. Baertschi created chances in his own and nearly drew a penalty when he was man-handled in the offensive zone. Alex Tanguay also should have drawn a penalty for having Dany Heatley sit on him during a period of sustained offensive pressure by the Flames. Nothing emerged from either scenario.
A penalty did emerge – as well as thoughts that the Flames would need yet another goaltender – when Jason Zucker cut through the crease and took Joey MacDonald's legs out from under him. MacDonald was shaken up but stayed in the game. The power-play was negated mid-way through by Dennis Wideman taking a defensive zone penalty.
The Wild pressed late but were unable to tie things up. Matt Stajan potted an empty netter for his second of the game to send the fans home happy.
Neither team played particulalrly well. Calgary showed up for the third. The Wild didn't.
Sven Baertschi. Kid had some good looks for his first game back and didn't look out of place.
Honourable mention to Lee Stempniak who had a strong third and Matt Stajan who scored the GWG and empty-netter.
Flames back in action tomorrow. Let's see if they can sweep the weekend.
February 24 2013, 11:13AM
Lets declare Feburary 30th Matt Stajan Day.
I've never really jumped on board the "I hate Stajan!" bandwagon. Is he a 1st line center? No. Not his fault Darryl decided to pay him like one. He wins more draws than he loses most nights, used effectively he can put up 45-50 points. He might be a little soft, he's never going to win the Selke. So what? He's not the spawn of satan. Nor is he the worst contract on the team.I think he's overpaid, I don't like his contract; I just refuse to hate the player because the last GM was terrible at judging and paying his assets accordingly.
Sure go ahead and win flames. ugh.
Stajan showing why we won the Phaneuf trade once again! I don't drink much but that game was beer-worthy in a yawning sort of way for about 49 of 60 minutes!
I was expecting a 5-2 Flames win with Iggy breaking out for 2, but i will take a win. Great game by Stajan, he leads the team with blocked shots, +/-, and takeaways. He deserved to be rewarded for his hard work and play.
Stajan put 21:06 on the clock at even strength and his total TOI was just one second short of Giordano's. Hartley *really* likes Stajan! Either that or he hates all the other forwards more right now.
February 24 2013, 01:18AM
Could be the start of a very prosperous weekend.
Go Flames!
I refuse to let myself get excited... this IS the Flames... they are so frustrating to watch and cheer for.
trades and draft picks would get me interested though, but not for R0R - don't need his type around here... and especially not if it involves giving any of our too few legitimate prospects

I wouldn't worry about Feaster going after ROR... They seem to be quite content with Stajan as their number one Center.

I think you meant to say "They seem to be content with Stajan as their one Center."
Which is fine, because it's not like that's an important position in hockey or anything...
Ah excellent! We are back in the running for 10th place! :)
February 24 2013, 04:40PM
Lets declare Feburary 30th Matt Stajan Day.
Or maybe even June 31st! No wait, that's Darryl Sutter day!
Finally, the vintage two goal Iggy performance we have all been waiting for. Normally his breakout game in 82 game season is usually happens during the third week of November. Hope this gets him going more consistently.

The Division of Wildlife Resources plans to treat Ferron Reservoir with rotenone on Sept. 22 to remove its fertile rainbow and brook trout and non-native cutthroat as part of a drainage wide project. Rotenone, a naturally occurring substance derived from the roots of a tropical plant, is non-toxic to mammals, but kills fish by inhibiting the uptake of oxygen through the gills.
A follow-up spring treatment is also planned to ensure complete eradication of existing fish. Re-stocking is expected to occur by the July 4 holiday weekend. The new fishery will include Colorado River cutthroat trout, which are native to the drainage. Other sport fish introductions will include sterile rainbow trout to prevent hybridization with the native cutthroats and possibly sterile brook trout.
Re-stocking with Colorado River cutthroat trout in Ferron Reservoir is necessary to protect the cutthroat trout for the planned restoration project in Ferron Creek. However, Ferron Reservoir itself is not considered part of the restoration project. Unlike Duck Fork Reservoir, where Colorado River cutthroat trout remain protected as a source for eggs, the native cutthroats in Ferron Reservoir can be fished and taken as part of the bag limit.
The restoration of native Colorado River cutthroats in Ferron Creek is an important step toward recovery of the species, which has been petitioned for protection under the Endangered Species Act. Progress toward recovery will help ensure continued state management of the Ferron Creek and Reservoir fisheries and local management of water and grazing in the drainage.
The DWR recognizes the importance of Ferron Reservoir for family oriented fishing and this project will not alter that management objective. Following re-stocking, the 2012 proposed regulations are a four fish limit (including cutthroat trout) by any legal method. Anglers may fish with baits, lures and artificial flies. There will be no slot limit on the reservoir. Additionally, the existing seasonal closure on Ferron Reservoir tributaries will be removed to provide anglers with the opportunity to take fish that may ascend the stream in the spring.

Skip to comments.Did John McCain let the Cat out of the OBagy? (an O'Bagy/McCain retrospective)
Posted on 09/11/2013 5:29:38 PM PDT by RoosterRedux
Elizabeth OBagy is listed as a Political Director for the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF) in the groups Washington, D.C. office. SETF lobbies Congress on behalf of the Syrian rebels. During a Senate hearing this week, Senator John McCain, perhaps the most vocal supporter of the Syrian rebels in Congress, pointed to an op-ed by the twenty-six year-old OBagy that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on August 30th. He then asked Secretary of State John Kerry, who agrees with him, if OBagys assertions were correct...
Georgetown University is under the very strong influence of Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. From the Universitys website:
In December 2005, the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (CMCU) received a $20 million dollar gift from HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, an internationally renowned businessman and global investor, to support and expand the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. The Center was renamed the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU). This endowed fund was the second largest single gift in Georgetown University history.
The Director of the ACMCU is none other than Professor John Esposito, a renowned Muslim Brotherhood apologist. Here he is in a faculty photo (wearing yellow jacket, second from right):
(Excerpt) Read more at shoebat.com ...
Note the O'Bagy/Esposito/Alwaleed Bin Talal connection.
The question is also...is O'Bagy speaking for John Esposito and Alwaleed bin Talal when she directs American policy re: Syria.

Why would anybody take a 26 year old seriously when it comes to foreign policy, especially in the ME? What is her experience? How many years did she live in the ME? How many administrations did she serve with? How many foreign languages is she fluent in? She's nothing but an Al Quaeda sympathizer with a few contacts.
Because she is a mouthpiece for someone much older and more powerful.
O'Bagy was a whitewashed front for a more powerful group. Amazing that the senile McCain didn't catch it. Or perhaps he did and didn't care.
This certainly has a whiff of impropriety about it, Senator McCain. Perhaps the seriousness of the charge - so to speak - merits an official investigation.
(Turn congressional hearing tone off.)
Mr. niteowl77
McCain didn't catch it. Or perhaps he did and didn't care.
Makes you wonder if that's why he had such a chit-fit over Michele Bachmann going after the muzzie brotherhood.
Don't know if it something that he contracted at the Hanoi Hilton or much later.
But he cannot be trusted.
Also follow McCain, Obagy and bag of money.
I think he's dirty.
He's old and rich...what could possibly motivate him to be dirtier than he already is?
So Georgetown is being bribed to promote the savage Muslim religion in this country. It also foisted on the nation Sandra Fluke, the nasty-girl lawyer who wanted taxpayers to finance her birth control. Both are unforgivable.
HOORAY Ben Barrack and Walid Shoebat!
Domestic enemies alert!
Not saying Shoebat is a bad source...just saying that I have had some doubts on some intel.
Maybe those doubts will go away as things develop.
Georgetown has definitely been turned.
I agree, but lately Shoebat has been doing great research and providing links to all his sources. He's definitely doing his homework but like you said, time will tell.
We need to know if he is telling the truth or is simply creating a career out of his foggy experience.
There is no room in the search for truth for lies about one's path.
Agree, heard about him being a fraud a couple years ago. I hope it's not true, but haven't looked deep into it. But understand your concern.
No idea.
What motivates Soros, Buffet?
With some people it seems the more money they have— the more they seem to hunger for it.
The wealthier they are, the more they feel entitled to try and run the lives of others.
Power is much of it, I suppose.
Heck, look at the Saudis.
That said, if there is an ongoing battle between good and evil...it all comes into focus.
And McCain has gone over to the dark side.
And McCain has gone over to the dark side.
"He's old and rich...what could possibly motivate him to be dirtier than he already is?"
McCain is a publicity hound. He lives to be on camera. In order for a Republican to be featured for comments and Sunday talk shows as frequently as McCain, he must have friends in the media. In order to have influential friends in the media he has to do the bidding of the progressive establishment. McCain sold his soul long ago to be in the spotlight. For him it matters little if he has to back stab fellow Republicans and his constituents.
Those PICTURES were unbelievable!!! WHAT'S IN THE BAG, JUAN??
He's not rich....his wife is....she has all the money.
>> the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.
I'm sure Christ fully understands the insanity of Islam, and that's why Islam desires to destroy Christianity.
Do we all now understand?
I don't think McCain is dirty. I do believe that he's arrogant and self righteous without any warrant for being so. This results in him adopting vey superficial positions without fully thinking them through, or even looking at information that would allow him to, then stubbornly digging in his heels and defending the positions at all costs in the face of any ... Even legitimate ... opposition or new information.

Great Color & Expensive-Looking
"I've been looking into finding the perfect smoking slippers, and I could've stopped the search here for the color alone, but the pointed toe and gold embellishment truly make it a beautiful shoe. This shoe looks and feels expensive, and will create a great pop of color (the teal is true to the picture). They'll need minimal breaking in: you do notice the cutouts along the side, but the leather adjusts to the shape of your foot. These feel European and cool - a great buy."

Instead of creating a new thread for every influental artist that died, let's use this thread to post future notable music related deaths. - Phixion
Rest In Peace Peter Steele, you awesome vocal work and solid bass playing will be missed.
Link: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/...ead_at_48.htmlype O Negative singer/frontman Peter Steele has been confirmed dead at the age of 48.
The legendary frontman Peter Steele is rumored to have passed away due to heart failure. His passing was first reported by Mistress Juliya (a.k.a. Juliya Chernetsky) of Fuse TV. Her Twitter page, stated that she spoke to Type O Negative guitarist Kenny Hickey just before midnight New York time, and that Kenny confirmed that the rumors were true.
"He passed of heart failure today. Just spoke to Kenny."
"Today is a very sad day in metal. End of an era. Peter Steele passed today. I loved my friend…our idol…my heart is with his band and family…"
Peter Steele was previously rumored to have died in 2005, when an image of a tombstone was posted to the group's website bearing his name. The announcement turned out to be a hoax. Peter Steele had recently been thought to have overcome his long-standing cocaine and alcohol dependencies.
Peter Steele was born in 1962 and released seven studio albums with Type O Negative between 1991 and 2007.

The Emery County Care and Rehab in Ferron hosted an evening of art at the facility. The paintings on display are the original art work of Lance Turner. He is 84 years old and lives in Provo. He is a former first place winner of pastel painting in the St. George Art Show. He is also a co-creator of Smoky the Bear. He has paintings throughout the southwestern United States in many galleries. He is the current designer of the Monte L. Bean Museum addition and is a former Brigham Young University Instructor of Art in Advertising.
His paintings include many of the Emery County landscapes. Turner has a love for fishing and painted the upper Provo River and the Teton River. He also paints Native Americans.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the paintings will go to the facility for activities and supplies and field trips for the residents. Turner works on 20-25 paintings at a time and it takes up to six months to complete a set. Turner travels around to different places and then recreates them on the canvas by memory. He visited Emery County and created the mountains surrounding Castle Dale, Dutch Flat and the BookCliffs near Green River.
Larry Friis is the new adminstrator at the facility. He said he loves it here in Emery County and is so impressed with the facility. Everything is working out well for him and his family. They found a house near the care center, so he said he can walk to work. "I love working with the staff. Diane Tadehara is the new director of nursing and she has increased the level of care for our residents. She is a leader in innovation and quality of care. As a team we have been doing self assessments and interviewing the residents to get their ideas on what we can do better. Resident feedback is important and it gives them the opportunity to let their wishes be known. They made suggestions on times for showers, food items they would like to see served and activities they would like to have. These are things we can change. Our average number of residents here at the facility is 38.8. There are people coming and going here constantly as the rehab patients get well and return home. Our rehab side is really growing and we are accommodating more patients. The average stay here for a rehab patient is three weeks.
"They come here and receive intensive therapy and medication. They do exercises that will increase their range of motion. They will have strength and stability training. The whole goal of rehab is so the patient can gain strength and mobility before they return home," said Friis.
Tadehara said one aspect of the therapy is to prepare the patient to return home, so they practice the things the patient will need to do once home. They will practice standing at a stove to cook their meals and at the sink. They will practice getting in and out of cars. They will do exercises that build stamina. The therapy helps them to go home with confidence that they can take care of themselves.
Tadehara said it's a compliment to their program because so many of the residents didn't want to leave to go home, they were enjoying the care they received at the care center. They enjoyed the three meals, showers and all of the services the center provides. When they return home they must pick-up all those chores again. The people must learn to be confident again that they will be able to handle the chores and the return home.
Tadehara said the home health care organizations are really great to assist patients returning home. They will follow-up the care they need at home. They will visit three times a week and spend an hour a day in the home with the patient. A nurse will visit once a week and the aides will visit three times a week.
With the hospital, care center and the home health working together there is a three step recovery plan for those recovering from surgery or injury.
Friis said Emery County Care and Rehab provides the best service possible for the patient and the residents are happy here. "It's their home. We treat the residents the way you would treat your family members. We have comfortable surroundings. We treat our residents like guests and respect this as their home. It's a short drive to Ferron for the quality care received here.
"One thing I've noticed about Ferron, coming from the Salt Lake and Utah County area is the commitment to this facility by the community. The people here know the residents here. They remember them as school teachers, friends and acquaintances. They love the people here. That's the real difference between here and the city. You don't experience that in Utah and Salt Lake counties. It's been a real eye opening experience for me and the sense of care here. It's isolated, but the care here is fabulous. Our grounds cover six acres and we have a garden for the residents. The residents can go out on the campus and walk through the flowers. The local business people are really wonderful to our residents. They are accepted with open arms. We receive great support from the community. We are also a support to family members in their time of need," said Friis.

Introduction | Science | Tools | Partners
Humanitarian operations go green19/
Geneva, 19 August 2010 - Humanitarian action and relief efforts save lives and provide essential aid in the aftermath of natural disasters, conflicts and other crisis. But despite this critical role, humanitarian actions can result in damage to the environment, which is not often prioritised as a life saving issue. A new online resource centre developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) will help boost efforts to reduce the environmental impact of humanitarian relief and recovery operations around the world.Launched today, on World Humanitarian Day, the Resource Centre for Mainstreaming Environment into Humanitarian Action is the first online collection of practical information explaining how to integrate environmental considerations into humanitarian action. The new website features guidelines, training materials, case studies and other tools and is intended as a handbook for humanitarian workers. The site can be accessed at http://postconflict.unep.ch/humanitarianaction Actions like cutting down trees to provide shelter and firewood and the inadequate management of medical waste can impact the success of recovery activities by putting stress on natural resources and livelihoods, thereby leaving populations vulnerable to future crises.In the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo for example, the size and density of settlements for internally displaced persons has led to severe degradation of wildlife populations, trees and other natural resources in some areas, even encroaching on the Virunga National Park. Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti in January, emergency food distribution resulted in a big increase in solid and liquid waste, mainly due to packaging. Additionally, the distribution of raw food has increased the need for charcoal, which can lead to the removal of even more trees in a country with an estimated total forest cover of just 2-4%.Making relief and recovery operations more environmentally-sound will ensure that both human welfare and the environment are protected and conserved in response to a disaster or conflict.Several best practices have proven that including environmental considerations in humanitarian operations is not only better for the environment but also cost-effective, such as sending supplies by ship rather than by air.UNEP has set up the resource centre in response to a clear need from humanitarian organisations for reliable and current information on incorporating environmental considerations into their policy and strategy development, programme design and relief activities.More than 150 resources from over 20 organisations are already featured on the website, arranged according to sector and environmental issue.To ensure the resource centre provides the best available current information, UNEP is calling for contributions of resources in any language from NGOs, governments, UN agencies, private sector and academic and research institutions. UNEP also welcomes further feedback via email at firstname.lastname@example.com to make the resource centre as useful and relevant as possible for a wide range of humanitarian personnel. UNEP will continue to work with partner organisations to ensure environmental considerations are effectively integrated in the international humanitarian system. Notes to Editors UNEP is focused on ensuring that environmental issues are integrated into humanitarian action at every phase of response efforts - relief, recovery and reconstruction - in order to adequately address environmental needs in emergency and post-emergency situations. Most humanitarian programmes and operations intersect in a variety of ways with the environment, from providing shelter and protection to logistics and energy. UNEP works with humanitarian actors to build capacity and awareness to improve the way in which operations are carried out. As part of its Disasters and Conflicts programme, UNEP leads training, serves as the liaison with clusters and partner organizations regarding environmental issues, provides in-country expertise and facilitates policy and advocacy efforts for members of the international humanitarian community.For further information please contactBryan Coll, UNEP/Nairobi, +254 20 7623088 mobile +254 711 203 148 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Halle, Disasters and Conflicts programme, UNEP Geneva, Tel: +41 22 917 8441 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Gospel Reading
Document Actions
17th Thursday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Mark 11:27-33
At that time, Jesus came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?" Jesus said to them, "I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer me." And they argued with one another, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But shall we say, 'From men'?" -- they were afraid of the people, for all held that John was a real prophet. So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

|In response to Re: Shallow well jet pump cycling too much
: What do you mean by the statement the shallow well jet pump is fed by a 1200 gallon above ground tank? Is the 1200 gallons supplying gravity feed to the jet pump, and the jet pump then pressure feeds the toilet and washing machine? If so, is there a vent or pressure equalizing valve somewhere in the line's supply side? The washing machine fill cycle is timed, and uses an electronic fill safety shutoff and utilizes an electric solenoid valve to open and receive 30 psi to fill the washer. If the supply from the jet pump supply line allows air, or has a cavitation pressure vortex in it, the washing machine will create a vacuum in the supply, and will make the pressure gauge jump wildly. Any cavitation in the pressure line will show the same fluctuation as the 3/4 supply line to the toilet reduces to 1/4 inch at the fill valve, too. The showers and sinks don't have such a restriction, and therefore pass the cavitation and vortex through them as aereated water.
: : Had this exact same problem with my last pump, only those 2 instances make the pump go spastic???
: : Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

We'll respond shortly.
The RightScale SQS gem returned an exception from SQS multiple times, including retries. Not an unusual event. This could have been caused by the SQS service being unavailable. However, the team noticed that despite the failure the message was actually successfully added to the queue and processed as normal.
ActiveSupport logger appears to open the default ruby logger and remove everything except the basic log message passed through. This is done for all subsequent uses of the logger. Perhaps this is done so that the log message could be passed to a syslog service which will add timestamps.
