Argentinean Pride: Colón de Santa Fe fans unveil the club's new home shirt by Aaron› 12 Aug 2013
In a change from the usual reveal, Argentinean team Colón de Santa Fe have enlisted the help of their fans to unveil their new home shirt as they continue with the new 2013/14 season which has recently kicked off. Some of the club's biggest supporters feature in the smart reveal of the new Santa Fe shirt, which features an interesting spin on the team's traditional red and black colours.
For the launch, the club's fans pose in some of the iconic locations around the city of Santa Fe, including inside the club's stadium which is commonly known as 'The Elephant's Graveyard.' The ground's official name is Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López, but the nickname comes from the fact that so many big teams have lost at the stadium over the years, including Pele's Santos in 1964 and the Argentinean national team.
One of the oldest clubs in Argentinean football, Colón have gone with a very modern shirt design for the new season. Made from a lightweight polyester material, the shirt features the club's red and black colours merging together, with a smart rounded collar and hooped cuffs. The shirt goes on sale in Argentina from today, and will be worn for the first time by the players in their game against Quilmes this weekend.

Henrietta-based Vuzix Corp. reported this week that its net loss jumped in 2013 as sales dipped.
The eyewear company logged $2.4 million in revenues for 2013, compared with $3.2 million in 2012, a decrease of 26 percent. The company attributed the decline to its limited working capital for the first seven months of 2013 that caused delays in new product development and its ability to buy components.
The net loss from continuing operations for 2013 was $10.1 million, or $1.69 a share, versus a net loss of $4.7 million, or $1.34 a share, in 2012.
"2013 represented a transitional year for Vuzix with changes to most of our products lines from lower margin, lower resolution offerings to our next generation, smart, digital and waveguide based solutions," said Paul Travers, president and CEO.
Its product introductions include its M100 Smart Glasses.
This year the company's focus is on refining technology and kick-starting growth, Vuzix officials said.
"For 2014, we will continue our investments in technology development. We also expect to continue to expand our customer base while we see our existing customers begin to offer solid solutions to their customers around our Smart Glasses," Travers said. "We expect continued revenue growth through 2014 and beyond."
As of Dec. 31, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $310,140, up from $66,554 a year earlier.
The company ranked 22nd, with roughly 25 local workers, on the most recent Rochester Business Journal list of optics and imaging firms.

"I thought this shoe was the perfect fit. I wore them on a night out. I didn't really have to break them in but I did wear them around the house before I stepped out in them. I would say they are not the easiest to walk in on cobblestone though. But how often are you going to do that? If there were more colors I would definitely purchase them again."

Awesome Steve Madden Pumps
"These shoes are not only extremely hot but they are SO comfortable. You would not think they could be since they are so high but they really are. The way the front is cut by the sides makes them more comfy. The strap around the ankle is a plus because usually high heels like this tent to slip off so the strap alleviates the problem. LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes!"

Peter Simon Sharp appeared before Judge George Harmond on Jan. 5. Sharp has been charged with the shooting deaths of his parents William and Charmaine Sharp on Oct. 21, 2009.
Sharp has been incarcerated at the Emery County Jail since that time.
The appearance in court on Jan. 5 was to hear the results of mental evaluations which were to have taken place since the time of his last appearance in November 2009.
Judge Harmon said the defendent was present along with his legal counsel David Allred. Brent Langston represents the state of Utah as the prosecutor in the case. Langston reported that Sharp has been interviewed by Dr. Nielson.
Another doctor was scheduled to come down and conduct an interview as well, but he was not able to do so because of bad weather conditions. This interview has been rescheduled.
Judge Harmon asked if the interview would take place in time that a report would be available by the next law and motion day of Feb. 2. Langston said yes it would be complete by then.
Judge Harmon directed the matter would continue until Feb. 2 at which time the results of both reports would be reviewed.

Love the look, but will take some breaking in
"Wow, these shoes are high. I usually wear 3-4 inch heels, but you can really feel the height with these. They match my 2-tone dress of black/nude perfect though. I will need some breaking in time (bring the band aids) due to the stiffness of the patent leather. I don't think they will be an all-day type of shoe, but I will keep them for style."

Call me weird or whatever, but last night was rather confusing.
I dreamt about Christmas for some reason, and it was the 23rd of December. The decorations were up, the family were around, but for some reason, there was no presents under the tree. I said that we'd get them tomorrow but for some reason, the shops were shut on Xmas Eve.
Yeah, call me weird, but I just thought I'd share that, lol.

His 'Lincoln' grabs 12 Oscar nominations, one for every year it took to get it made.
Steven Spielberg is receiving countless calls and text messages this Thursday after Lincoln received 12 Academy Award nominations.
But one congratulatory message sticks out — the one from his wife, Kate Capshaw.
"She just said, 'I'm proud of you,' " says Spielberg. "And she said that in a way that melted my heart."
The director should be proud: Lincoln led the field with nominations for best director, picture, actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), supporting actress (Sally Field) and supporting actor (Tommy Lee Jones).
The number 12 is particularly significant for the project that took Spielberg more than a decade to bring to the screen.
"It's a nomination for every year we were on this road pre-Lincoln. It's 12 years from the time I began the project to Nov. 3 when it opened," says Spielberg. "The irony is it's a nomination for every year we worked to bring Lincoln back as a motion picture. It's breathtaking and astonishing.
"You can not believe the level of good cheer in the hallways of DreamWorks this morning."
Spielberg missed the nomination telecast ("I have carpool duty, I need all the sleep I can get") but received the early-morning call.
"It was a wonderful thing to have the phone ring this morning while it was still dark," he says. "It was one of the best calls I have ever received."
Even leading the pack in terms of nominations, Spielberg is not concerned about frontrunner status. "I don't strategize. I let others worry about that. I am just full of gratitude about what happened today and in the past weeks."
"My entire crew and cast came together and it was a perfect family to tell this story," he says. "They all need to be feeling that they are sharing in this wonderful day."

Skip to comments.Great news: Federally-permitted lightbulbs a cancer risk
Posted on 01/04/2013 12:56:45 PM PST by SeekAndFind
Legislate in haste ... repent at leisure. In their haste to rid Americans of the unconscionable plague of perfectly safe if somewhat inefficient incandescent lighting, politicians in Washington have forced us to adopt more expensive technology in its place. Compact flourescent lighting (CFLs) are already known to be a considerable disposal risk, thanks to the mercury used in them. A new study reported earlier this week by Miami's CBS affiliate warns of an operational risk as well ... ultraviolet radiation that can cause skin cancers and even acute burns (via Katie Pavlich):
Every time you turn on the lights, you may be putting yourself at risk, according to a disturbing new study.
Energy efficient bulbs are eco-friendly and can save you big bucks, but experts say that some could also have a dark side.
Actually, they're not all that eco-friendly, as even the government acknowledges. The EPA wants to argue that the release of mercury from CFLs in disposal is less than that released from the burning of the amount of coal one saves by using them. That may well be true overall, but not if one breaks in your house. At that point, you need to conduct an hours-long cleanup — and even if you want to dispose of an unbroken CFL, it takes special disposal in most jurisdictions due to the eco-unfriendly nature of CFLs.
And now, it takes special instructions to use them, too:
Money saving, compact fluorescent light bulbs emit high levels of ultra violet radiation, according to a new study. Research at Long Islands Stony Brook found that the bulbs emit rays so strong that they can actually burn skin and skin cells.
The results were that you could actually initiate cell death, said Marcia Simon, a Professor of Dermatology.
Exposure to the bulbs could lead to premature aging and skin cancer, according to doctors.
It can also cause skin cancer in the deadliest for, and thats melanoma, said Dr. Rebecca Tung.
Well, these are just the defective CFLs, right? The outsides are coated to block UV radiation. And that's true, but …
In every bulb that researchers tested they found that the protective coating around the light creating phosphor was cracked, allowing dangerous ultraviolet rays to escape.
So what can you do? Stay away from them:
Stony Brook researches advised that customers exercise caution and stay two feet away from the bulbs at all times, while storing them in an overhead fixture or lamp.
Gee … maybe Congress should have thought to check this out before regulating incandescents out of existence.
Aren't they also a potential bio-hazard due to their mercury content?
Once again... the feds helping us goes very wrong.
does this mean no more subsidized homo depot lightbulbs?
Isn't this always the case?
We stocked up on incandescents and probably have enough 40w, 60w, 75w, and 100w bulbs to keep our great-grandchildren in warm, safe light.
Heck, back in the 50s, we used to break thermometers and play with the mercury in a small dish. We'd coat pennies, nickels and dimes with it, and I think all 3 of us are still alive, last I checked. LOL.
Don't won one! Don't want one! Went to S-Lowe's in 2011, but up a bunch of all the bulbs necessary, after doing the mental figuring, to last me till they carry me out of this apartment! I started this year, since last year was a 'year of doctor crap', by replacing them all. ALL incandescent, ALL cheaper on MY pocket, and fits MY budget!
Happy New Year!
Just wondering - aren't those long tube florescent lights the same? Don't they have mercury in them as well?
Yes it is.
This is a, 'Good-News/Bad-News' situation.
The good-news is that I can't afford to buy these bulbs because of the new taxes.
The bad-news is the new taxes.
"Federally-permitted lightbulbs a cancer risk"
Anyone paying attention when this moronic law was passed already knew this, but was called an "anti-environment, anti-science whacko!" at the time, as you recall.
Funny how these things ALWAYS come full-circle to bite us on the a$$, isn't it? Mustn't let little things like FACTS get in the way of the Democrat/GE agenda, can we?
Got mercury poisoning *twice* from picking up broken ones.
When *one* breaks, it releases 400x the 'safe amount' of mercury into the area.
Both times, I'd cleaned up 3 or 4 of them within a month of each other.
I only use them in low traffic areas now in closed light fixtures where they can't fall onto the floor when they invariably 'explode' for no reason.
Good to know Consumer Reports gave them such a good write up.
From "Amazing Grace":
William Wilberforce: No matter how loud you shout, you will not drown out the voice of the people!
Lord Tarleton: (insulted) People?
This is one of the reasons I bought 4 dozen 100w incandescents before the ban.
The other reasons:
We thought we'd save money "as advertised".
When your light bill is almost $700 a month, you look for ways to cut back.
This was not a good way, obviously.
$700! Ouch!
Turn off the grow lights! (just kidding)
We have electric heat *plus* the usual electric household stuff and the machine shop.
Sometimes, the bill is higher than that.
[they raised our electric prices to 'save the earth']
Liquid mercury is absorbed very slowly. But in the environment, some bacteria methylate it and it enters the food chain, eventually getting into fish and water.
Look up Minimata Disease that happened in Japan. Methylmercury poisoning in people who ate a lot of fish from polluted rivers.
Here's a scary story of a woman killed by a few drops of pure methylmercury when some penetrated her latex gloves. She died less than a year later.
I heard someone state that one CFL lightbulb, if not subsidized, would cost you $25 over the counter.
We're paying for them, of course, through our taxes.
Yes, that was mentioned in the article.......
" - - - Exposure to the bulbs could lead to premature aging and skin cancer, according to doctors.
It can also cause skin cancer in the deadliest for, and thats melanoma, said Dr. Rebecca Tung. - - - "
Where is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) when yuh need 'em?
I did the same, coating dimes and such to make them "shiny". Not much risk there, unless you lick your coins. However, flu shots contain mercury that is directly injected into your body - that has more effect on your health.
This is exactly the kind of crap that happens when government dictates technology.
Watch how fast they will remove these bulbs from the Pentagon, the Capitol Building and the White Hut and expect the populace to continue using them.
Any of you mothers willing to expose your babies to these money-saving light bulbs?
Did you ever notice old plastic cased computers turn yellow with age? Mostly on the side facing windows with exposure from sunlight. But also on the areas exposed to fluorescent lighting in offices.
I have old computers and toys in rooms with only incandescent lighting, and they don't suffer from yellowing. Yellowing happens with the UV from fluorescent lights. Try it on the new CFL bulbs, it will quickly yellow light colored plastics. Then consider what CFLs are doing to your skin.
I once asked the butcher why they did this.
He said: "Fluorescents turn the meat grey. Makes the ham unappealing. So we turn them away from the light."
we used to play in the "crick"...just down from the dump......probably not very safe....but we're all alive and kicking.....but we are a little weird I guess....lol
Ditto that. And drank out of garden hoses, rode in cars/truck wo/ seatbelts, had "BB gun wars" w/ 5-6 guys... somehow, we all survived. Amazing!
Mail all broken, burnt out CFL's to your Cong - ress - Critter / Imperial Senator, in protest.
Has anyone had one of these hippie contraptions pop on them? I had one burned out the other day. When I pulled it out, there was a big hole in the glass. Ungood.
I began my stocking up on 60w bulbs today. As I was checking out at my friendly Dollar General store I could not resist telling the young black clerk that at this time next year these bulbs would not be available for sale. She asked, "Why?" I said, "People electing Democrats to Congress." No reaction, but I knew there had to be an internal one.
The Congress is so gutless that it can't give us back the Edison lightbulb. It is so afraid of being called anti-environment that it will continue to support a POS lightbulb that doesn't work and is dangerous.
And we expect these turds to fight the nazi Buckwheat and his coven of fat welfare mommas with cell phones stuck in their ears?
Yes, it takes years and more than a ton of dirt to effectively handle 1 bulb. We have been stock piling these bulbs since this law was passed.
Every time a light bulb burns out now we buy 4 more packs of incadescent bulbs. They are great heat sources, and that is what some clever guy in Europe did to avoid the stupid law.
Just relabled them as heaters, not a light source. LOL At least that's what my daughter told me.
clarification stock piling incadescents not CFL.
Just a clarification: "white" LEDs do use fluorescent phosphors to generate the wide range of colors that we perceive as "white." The starting frequency of the "white" LEDs, however, is not red nor green, nor ultraviolet, but blue.
In general, a phosphorescent material cannot generate a color of a shorter wavelength than the impinging wavelength, so red or green LEDs cannot stimulate phosphors to generate blue light, but blue LEDs can stimulate phosphors to generate all visible frequencies of light.
Blue, or other visible light, is not dangerous at any normal intensity used for household illumination.
How this relates to "fluorescent" lights: "fluorescent" lights generate ultraviolet (UV) light (shorter wavelength than any visible light) instead of the blue light generated by LEDs. The UV light then impinges on phosphors to make visible light. This article points out that some of the UV light (dangerous at "normal" intensities) does leak out of the "fluorescent" bulbs. This is a danger not shared by household LEDs which don't generate UV light.
What's the highest watt incandenscent I can stock up on today?
Where should I get them?
Thanks in advance for all info.
My wife dropped on the a utility hallway floor and broke. Fortunately, it was the only one in the house when we bought the place.
Go here for incandescent bulbs:
She's probably fine.
The first time, a CFL in the bathroom blew out and showered its guts into a clean basket of laundry.
Like an idiot, I simply washed it all again and dried it, sending the mercury all through the upstairs of the house and embedding it in every item of clothing.
Then, 3 more broke within a short time.
My symptoms were heat intolerance and neurological problems.
[visual disturbances, incoordination, dizziness, tremors, etc]
The "treatment" was to avoid any more exposure.
They have chemicals which 'drive' mercury out of your system but it's usually more agonizing than simply waiting for it leave on its own.
However, it never totally leaves and you'll always be more susceptible to being 'poisoned' again.
Which why I wound up with it the second time after only 2 bulbs breaking.
Right after my blood reached 'acceptable levels' a couple months ago, just like clockwork, another CFL blew out in the light above my sofa.
This time, the light didn't break...the glass at the bottom of the bulb literally *melted* apart from its base.
I only noticed it when the light went out and I put in a new bulb.
It was black and had really scary looking 'blisters' all over the glass.
I hate the damn things.
But hey, it's all for the good of Gaia and the children, right?
Thank you rightlydividing, that seems to be about 3x the price I just found at bulbs.com; but, it seems they claim to last twice as long, plus, apparently have some positives with full spectrum light and etc. Worth it in your opinion?
Since my stock of 100's will carry me another year or more, I haven't bought at either website. I tend to want the rough service bulb over a standard duty, but that is because of such variations in the quality of standard bulbs. My stockpile is Sylvania and I an not thrilled with their lifespan. Then there is this place:
but I an not impressed there either.
Same technology, however it appears the curls in the CFL's cause the phosphorus coating to break, causing the cancer risk. Also, the tube florescent lamps normally are installed in ceiling light fixtures with some sort of cover on them. Not in table lamps or other easy to break locations.
You can still find 100w incandescent bulbs. Most large chain home improvement store don't have them anymore but I have had good luck at some dollar/discount stores.
Psssst!... Hey, buddy. You wanna buy an incandescent light bulb? Cheap!!??

Testing Accommodations
Students with Disabilities
Make arrangements for administering the ETS® Major Field Tests to students with disabilities in the same way you would make arrangements for administering other important local tests.
Note: Students requiring testing accommodations must be assigned to an on-campus administration.
For students who have difficulty filling in the bubbles on answer sheets, we suggest that students who are able to do so circle their answers in the test book. After the testing session, the test administrator would need to transfer the answers to an answer sheet for processing by ETS. The student's test book should be attached to the answer sheet.
The Major Field Tests online system offers a zoom capability to magnify the screen display and to reverse foreground and background colors (changing black-on-white to white-on-black and vice versa) when desired. For those students not testing online, the Major Field Tests are also available in braille, in large print and on audio cassette. We recommend that requests for tests with large print be made six weeks in advance and that requests for braille or audio cassette format be made as far in advance as possible, preferably three months ahead.
Results of the paper-and-pencil, large-print or braille exam can be combined with results of the online tests for the rest of that institution's population.
Students Requiring Additional Time
A student should only be granted additional testing time for a Major Field Test if the same student receives similar accommodations for other exams and has previously demonstrated and documented the need for the accommodation.
Test administrators will need to contact Major Field Tests Online Technical Support at 1-800-514-8491 Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m.–6 p.m. ET, to configure the Major Field Tests online system to permit additional testing time for a student. The student's countdown clock will be adjusted accordingly. Please follow the instructions outlined in the Administrator Manual.

Slightly long and wide
"These fit my odd feet, which are between 7 and 7.5, and between regular and W widths. The toe is very stiff, so the extra length helps make it more comfortable. The beauty of this shoe is that it is a cross between a loafer and a ballet flat: it has a loafer top but a deeper vamp and sleeker line, like a ballet flat. Very cute and versatile."

"I loved this shoe because it was comfortable, but i had to return it and get half a size smaller because it was too long. I think sperry top-sider runs long."

Pretty In Pink
June 26th, 2010
Just two gals heading out for a night on the town.
(submitted by Kris)
Just two gals heading out for a night on the town.
(submitted by Kris)
this picture is just awkward like the name of this website.seriously.
What a lovely pair.
seriously, why is the dog pink?
Diane Arbus in color.
I double dog dare you!
Well the Dog is pretty in pink.
The dog has this look on her face like, really darling, I did it first and I do it better. These humans are so boring and trite!
Gives a whole new name to loving your dog.
Should be a Pet-a-Like.
What dog? I think shes a very sexy lady!
What a double date they'd make.
Didn't a woman in FL get charged with animal abuse last Halloween because she colored the fur of her poodle?
If the hair is pinky like the rest of the body, i wouldn't say who is who.
I don't know who is the less thrilled one of the Pink Ladies.
Oh, to go back in time to before I saw this photo.
I'm right with you on that one RR!
Why is the dog's hair pink?
I cannot stress how bad this is…disturbing…definately, borderline sick…you need some therapy
Wow! Like passing a bad car wreck on the freeway! You don't really want to see the carnage, but can't keep yourself from looking anyway. Geeze! Poor dog, disturbed woman, great comments. Trying not to wake the rest of the house…shhhhh
Quit looking at me!!
I'm frightened Auntie Em…
I'm speechless.
I don't even WANT to know what else is going on here. Poor dog…. 🙁
My, EYES MY EYES
OK. Just noticed hair on her head does not match 'the other hair'.
oh no!!! now I can't get that out of my head!! at least the curtains match the carpet
too funny
I wish you hadn't said that. Same thing, now that's what I keep seeing. I wish it were pink.
This is truly tacky!!
Anyone else see Khloe Kardashian here?
Most cleavage I've ever seen in my life, hands down.
AWKWARD……..this is disturbing
I hope the owner took Bob Barker's message to heart.
Ok .. we seem to have moved beyond unintentionally looking like your pet .. to trying to look like your pet .. well, except for the one obvious difference.
Two obvious differences…
I was thinking, shouldn't the caption read "Just four gals heading out for a night on the town."?
The most disturbing thing about this picture? The individual behind the camera.
the fact that the girl let him take a picture is also pretty disturbing
Well, honestly, she probably did it all by herself, set the timer on her digital camera, and posed with the dog, can't see a friend doing this for her. . .
Your comment made me laugh so much…. and then I wondered who would actually send this photo in???
"dont worry, babe, i wont post this online. dont worry."
3 words: OH. MY. GOD.

Girls Articles
Girls TV Series recaps, updates, analysis and photos.
I Would Love To Surprise Someone Sometime
Girls Season 5 finale Episodes 9 and 10 recap First things first: My longing for Jenny Slate's haircut. I wanted it when she first got it, snapped back to my senses, and this episode has renewed my love. Please know that I have forced my curly hair into submission for years and I cannot be allowed to do this. Full Story
Sake Gut
Noam Galai/ D Dipasupil/ Raymond Hall/ Getty Images
Girls Season 5 Episode 8 recap Empathy, revulsion. Empathy, revulsion. It's such a perfectly balanced equation—you can't have Hannah or Marnie or even Jessa or Shoshanna without both in equal measure. Empathy, revulsion. Just when I'm feeling one, I cycle rapidly toward the other – more in this episode than in any for at least a season. Full Story
The Dangers of 'Keep Calm and Carry On' Posters
Girls Season 5 Episode 7 recap God, I love Ray so much. Do you think that he has a mansplaining monologue about the dangers of mansplaining? Because I know he does, and I really want to hear it. I will listen to him Deep Internet any day. Even though he says things like 'you deal with this one'. Full Story
Fairytale of New York
Girls Season 5 Episode 6 recap Ohhhh, this was such a great episode. I knew as soon as Desi repeated "recoiled from my touch" that we were getting to the real truth of the thing, mainly that you can be way too much, like Marnie Michaels is, and still not be able to deal with the way too much that is Desi. Full Story
Salt and a Monokini
Girls Season 5 Episode 5 recap One of the reasons the scenes with Hannah's parents have always been so good is that she doesn't pretend when she's with them. The 'Brooklyn Hannah' attitude that allows her to inform people about the conscious choices she's making in reading material for her junior high students or sexual liberation with a yoga instructor kind of fades away because her parents already know who she is, and love her anyway. Full Story
Cruel To Be Kind
Girls Season 5 Episode 4 recap The Girls of five years ago would have set this weeks' relationships on fire and walked away. Their patience in the face of things not being easy (and really, when are things ever easy in a relationship?) is due to…maturity? Increased patience? Increased experience? …The feeling that any bad relationship is better than being alone? I'm not saying that's for sure, but the show sure hints at it, where Marnie outright tells Hannah not to break up with Fran because she'll have to 'start all over again'. Full Story
Growing Pain
Girls Season 5 Episode 2 and 3 recap Let's talk about how Girls is incorporating the realities of friends who correspond in a digital way much more naturally than almost any show on television. I don't mean the bit about naked exes you keep in your phone, but about the natural way you FaceTime with whomever (I assume the Skype sounds were specifically for work-oriented calls from Aidy Bryant, who I am delighted with on this show). Full Story
Blame It On The Rain
Girls Season 5 Episode 1 recap Here was my thought as I watched the season premiere of Girls: even knowing that Marnie was going to be ridiculous because = bride, I was surprised by how real everything felt. That is, each individual reaction isn't that outsized. Yes, Marnie's a cliché—but anyone who has ever criticized Allison Williams' acting has never met someone as brittle as Marnie. Full Story
I Am Going To Be In Love With You Soon
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Girls Season 4 Episode 10 recap Everything is perfect, until it isn't. I know how elementary it seems, but I appreciated how delicately Girls approached this theme in their season finale, which was mostly devoid of the guest stars who trod so heavily over this season, and kind of hardcore what the show has always been. Full Story
I do not feel sympathy for Jessa (which in itself feels wonderful)
Ron Asadorian/ Splash News, GVK/ Bauer-Griffin/ Getty Images
Girls Season 4 Episode 9 recap How could you feel sympathy for Jessa? You can't! It's glorious! In fact, maybe it's a brilliant ploy on behalf of Dunham and Co. to make you see that you have to hate Adam – even though he was with Mimi-Rose who was weirdly unobjectionable – because he did the same thing Jessa did: took up with a narcissistic freak who considers a relationship 'material' to be worked on. Full Story

Girls Season 4 Episode 8 recap I read something recently that said Lena Dunham hopes to leave the characters in Girls 'better than we found them', like a campsite. It's not so unusual a concept, but on a show like this, that seems to revel in the continual return of the characters to their most ridiculous selves, it's surprising. Full Story

Bozie vs. Brozie
Jeff Veillette
September 07 2013 10:16PM
If this is your first visit to TheLeafsNation.com, welcome! Stay a while, and enjoy the vast variety in topics we like to talk about. If it isn't, you'll know very well that we're big fans of Tyler Bozak on this site. Cam Charron loves him (also this, and this, and this, and this, and this). Jon Steitzer thinks that he's right up there with other first line centres. Blake Murphy is also a fan. Steve Dangle wants to throw him a party. Emily G has been proven to be in love with him. I've got nothing for you on Ryan and Justin, but I'm sure they also have shrines in their rooms. Last but not least, I am his biggest fan. More than anybody else. I'm changing my middle name to Bozak. He's the best.
...okay, maybe not so much. Anyway, like everybody else on the Internet that has ever said, thought, rapped, or improvise danced a negative opinion or feeling to or about Tyler Bozak, I have been blocked by him on Twitter. When? So long ago, that I still thought that he was a good solution to the Leafs top line problems.
Contrary to popular belief, I don't hate Tyler Bozak. I think he brings down the first line by being an obvious not first liner, I think his intangible abilities are grossly overstated, and I think his production doesn't make his paycheque, but I don't hate him. I think he is an NHL level talent. I think his contract is even okay compared to market value, and I don't blame him for signing it. He seems like an good guy 364 days a year, and he appears to get along with his teammates well. He's a decent player that his management sees far too much in.
But he also has me blocked on Twitter. I don't like that, to the point where last year, I tried to get everybody who has me blocked on twitter to unblock me. Even Damien Cox gave in. Now, all that remains are Bozak, Alan Walsh, and a few Leafs fans who dislike my point of view so much that they decided they never wanted to see it again. Today, I tried to fix that.
At 11:47 AM today, Tyler Bozak tweets this (which Daft Puck sends me a minute later, because, you know)
@MapleLeafs fans, come shop with me right now at @SportChek Yorkdale for #shopwithapro day— Tyler Bozak (@Bozie42) September 7, 2013
For those who dont' know me, I live less than 2 kilometres from Yorkdale Mall. I can get there in about 15 minutes on foot without putting a ton of effort into it. On a bicycle? Five. So at 12:05, I headed out. Nine minutes later (elevators, locking up my bike, etc), I was checked on Foursquare (for the 42nd time at Yorkdale. Go figure). Right after I get to SportChek, one of the employees (hi David!) tells me he's a fan of my tweets and articles on here (WE HAVE READERS!!!!). From there, I wait for my moment to jump in.
Of course, there's lots of kids eager to meet him and Brad May. Tyler Bozak, nice guy, is good with everybody who approaches him. So I just stay off to the side, pretending to look at equipment (okay, I was salivating over Easton sticks and actually considering options for skates this winter). Bozie makes sure to introduce himself to everybody, except me who he passes three or four times. Odd, but no big deal. Another employee comes up and asks me if I'm "the blogger", at which point I start to get nervous about the entire thing.
Eventually I have to leave and I decide I'll go up to him after the next kid is done buying her gear. It's already 12:30 at this point, after all. But hey! They decide shopping time is over and that Tyler and Brad will be signing autographs. I get to the back of the line, talk to May for a bit (there was a brief period where we intersected in terms of reporting on the Marlies), and finally get to Tyler. The conversation essentially went like this:
"Tyler! What's up?"
"Not too much"
"I have an odd question.. how hard would it be to get you to unblock me on Twitter?"
"I don't know, pretty hard... what did you say to me?"
"Not sure, it was a long time ago.. probably wasn't to you, I've said plenty of stuff about you though"
"Okay, what's your username?"
"Well, you've been pretty critical about me"
"Yeah.. but it's not like I'm saying you're a bad player. I talk about per dollar, per minute kind of stuff."
"Oh. Well, maybe I'll unblock you. I'm assuming you don't want this autograph?"
He left me ample opportunity to be a dick, and I could kind of tell he was holding back what he wanted to say, so I bit.
"I don't, but somebody else might. Thanks!"
I left Sportchek, made a couple stops elsewhere in my favourite mall, grabbed my bike, and went home. In the end, I don't think Tyler Bozak is unblocking me, but I got to ask him and politely get a dig in while still making a point to say I didn't think he was flat out terrible. He isn't. He's a decent hockey player who appears to have been overestimated by Leafs management. The hockey gripe isn't with him. He's doing his best, he's good to his fans, and probably even gave the Leafs a lower price than other interested teams, but management should have realized that in his current role, it quantifiably isn't good enough for a team looking to win a Stanley Cup.
I hope he proves me wrong, but in the mean time, I'll settle for a not-coming unblock on a social media website just because I think that would be nifty.
BY THE WAY! I'm not kidding when I say I don't want these autographs. There's very few players who's scribbles I care about. Leave a comment with your Twitter username in here, and I'll pick a random one that's following me and mail them the signed 4x6's of Bozak and May.
(If you don't get the 'Brozie' part of the title, I run a Bozak parody account . Nothing to do with him, I'm running a long term experiment on how the parody community works and he was relevant at the time of creation. Contract, Kessel, and " LOL GRABOVSKI" jokes are easy, so... )
Just a few more weeks until puck drop.

Jordana wants to win signed Brad May and Tyler Bozak cards.
@MubarizA I would really appreciate this if you pick me! And also what did you day that made bozak block you?
September 09 2013, 09:47AM
I do think that a signed photo of you and Bozak would be worth more, but I started following you because of this very incident, so any memory would be hilarious! It would be so rad if you picked me :)
Warning: you'd have to send it to California though ;P

Orangeville Days on July 25 events were bike races, ice cream social and a movie in the park. For the bike races Charity Stilson and Laci Tuttle were at the Orangeville City Park registration table signing up contestants for the bike races. Todd Hinkins announced each bike race, the winners and the rules. While Nadine Hinkins a race judge handed out prizes to the winners. The contest started with children three years of age and older seated on bikes with training wheels. The winner in each bike race received a dollar and a Popsicle.
Nathan Manning went two laps on his bicycle around the racetrack ahead of the other contestants. Nathan was in the fourth and fifth grade group of boys. Nathan came in first standing up on the seat of his bicycle as he crossed the finish line.
After the bike races, tickets to win a bicycle were drawn out of the basket by age group. Five new bicycles were won. Trace Jewkes won the grand prize and the largest bicycle. Nathan Manning also won a bicycle.
Orangeville City Council hosted an ice cream social under the direction of Mayor Pat Jones who handed out free ice cream. He and the council gave out vanilla or chocolate ice cream to anyone and everyone. Those asking for ice cream had the choice of getting the ice cream served in a cone or a cup.
That evening ended with a movie, titled "Wreck It Ralph", shown in the city park.
Only July 26, Orangeville Days continued. The Orangeville City children's parade formed at the Orangeville LDS Church at 5 PM and marched down Main Street to the Orangeville City Park. Also that evening the famous Humphrey Lamb Fry/Roast Beef Dinner was being served. The Muddy Creek Band provided the entertainment for the dinner. Later in the early evening 14 small pigs were brought to the park in a horse trailer for use in the catch a pig contest. The contest started with the children ages five and under. Both boys and girls participated. All age groups were given the chance to catch a pig. A $10 bill was given to each contestant that caught a pig. The winner was not allowed to keep the pig caught. Karl Kay of Lawrence furnished these small pigs. Dakota McArthur the pig handler turned each pig loose just as each chase started. Jeff Madsen the announcer called each age group and announced the start of the race. He informed each group when it was their turn to participate in chasing and catching a pig.
Dakota Orgill was the first girl to receive the $10 prize for catching a pig. Austin Ewell caught the second pig and the $10 prize. The next race was for boys and girls aged 6 and 7. Jason Justinson was the first 7-year-old winner. The following boys and girls in the various age groups who caught a pig were Landon Wagner of West Virginia. Tyler Cox, Jamie Stilson, Devon Alexander, Savannah Lemons, Jacob Service, Trason Toomer, Jarred Burger, Lindsey Miesner, Kaylan Law, Lexie Cox, Dane Law, Tasha Jewkes and Tyler Lemons.
On July 27 events began at Orangeville City Park where Cindy Draper and Kris Bell were registering people for the 5K run. After registering the participants, the runners were then driven to the starting point near Mill Dam Road. The first six 5 K runners to arrive back at the Orangeville City Park were Gary Bosshardt, Clint Olsen, Wyatt Cox, Stetsen Bennett, Jared Anderson and Ted Luke in that order.
The Castle Dale Stake and the Orangeville Second Ward cooked and served a great morning breakfast of pancakes, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs and fried potatoes all served at the Orangeville City Park.
After the 10 AM Orangeville Pioneer Day Parade down Main Street there were a lot of races and games for children, teenagers and adults held in the city park until about 2 PM. Some of the games were a ring toss game to win a soda pop, a doughnut eating contest, find the coins in the sand, find the candy in the sawdust, body bumpers, roller racers, hair extensions, nails, the dunk tank, and horse shoes to name a few of the games available.
One exciting event was the fishing in the big tank made of hay bales forming foursquare walls and a plastic liner to hold a lot of water. This improvised fish tank formed a big pond for the trout that were brought for children to catch by hand. There were struggles, shouting and scrambling by many children as they went about trying to catch a slippery trout.
Among the children who successfully caught a wildly swimming, trout weighing about 1 to 2 pounds using only their hands were Hayden Dalton showing off the fish he caught, Adam Olsen caught a fish and Jackson Alexander caught a fish. Trason Jensen was seen proudly showing his mother Jackie Jensen the fish he had caught in the fishpond.
Lisa Johnson had her hair extension booth near the skateboard ramps, where she was offering hair extensions for the ladies. Lisa Johnson put a hair extension to Hanna Morris's hair.
Next-door Jaicelyn Shakespaere was seen doing the nails of Cady Sermon.
Julie Wilson organized a series of difficult contests titled "Survivor Orangeville". One difficult contest was the five-legged race, which the Stilson's team won. The five-legged race looked like it was quite challenging. Another contest Julie invited teams to participate in was to carry an egg on a spoon, the handle of the spoon in the mouth, racing from one end of the field to the other and back. The Law's team won the egg race. Then Julie brought out nine different types of foods to be eaten in an eating contest. Each person on each team was asked to eat one of the nine different foods in a small cup. Some of the food titles were Jackalope.
Supposedly made of Jackrabbit and antelope, cocktail onions in a lot of vinegar, Mexican turkey dough, pickled pigs feet and five other strange sounding names for food. It was a challenge to eat the food from the small cup and keep it down. The Stilson's team won the Orangeville Survivor Challenge this year. Julie thanked B&K's and Subway Sandwiches in Huntington for their help. Julie Wilson announced that next year she would do a survivors challenge for the adults.
Robin Healy and her family catered hamburgers and other food items for anyone that wanted a meal at the park. In the afternoon the Orangeville Fire Department furnished a plastic sheet and water for a slippery slide on the hill behind the Old Fire House. The children had a ball sliding on the slippery slide. The fire department also provided a shower of foam for the children to run through or play in. Brent Tuttle was in charge of the ATV Poker Run and Karen Tuttle was in charge of the Orangeville History Tour.
Sandra Huntington and Dickcie Tuttle announced that after nine years this would be the last year they would be in charge of Orangeville Days and thanked their crew and everyone who helped with the events. Mayor Pat Jones thanked Sandra and Dickcie for the success of the Orangeville Days celebration.
The City of Orangeville really appreciates how Sandra and Dickcie stepped up to the challenge and organized these wonderful events over the years. It takes a lot of people to put together Orangeville Days. Sandra and Dickcie were the enthusiasm and the motor that made this thing work.
Thanks to Sandra and Dickcie and all of the crew that helped. We hope to carry on this tradition.

Deep Thoughts VIIII: Making it up as I go
Robin Brownlee
April 15 2009 08:40PM
The only thing that's nearly as important as getting the story right in the journalism business is getting it first. The challenge and the joy in this game is doing both consistently. Sometimes, even when you're right, it sucks. Like today, when Edmonton Oilers GM Steve Tambellini made it official the team and Craig MacTavish had parted ways.
Officially, MacTavish has been "relieved of his duties." I suspect he resigned, but the bottom line for fans, be they applauding the move or lamenting it, is he's gone. Not a happy day for reporters, those of us who've had MacT filling our notepads for a decade.
Then again, having been off the beat since January 2007 after 10 years of nagging MacTavish for The Journal and The Sun, I won't be impacted as much as today's everyday scribes, especially if the new guy is a stiff as a quote. That's their problem, but I digress . . .
Having written MacTavish off April 9 in Already Gone, again last Sunday in Armchair GMIII and finally in Tuned Out on Tuesday, it's the reaction to an item at the bottom of the last bit that got me thinking about the challenge of getting it right and getting it first.
I'm referring to a few sentences I wrote regarding a rumour Sheldon Souray might have requested a trade. It's a mention I wouldn't have made for an MSM outlet, but one I thought was fine here. I still do.
What's the buzz?
Burned like Grant Ledyard on a Todd Marchant breakaway when I disregarded an e-mail Chris Pronger wanted out of town in 2006 as bogus, I mentioned the Souray rumour, which also came to me by way of e-mail. The response was frenetic.
"Perhaps one of the reasons Souray didn't make himself available to reporters Monday is he didn't want to address speculation that he's asked Tambellini for a trade. Rumours Souray has asked to be dealt began several weeks ago and they've persisted since. To this point, neither Souray or anybody in the Oilers front office has gone on the record to put the talk to rest. Until that happens, and there's a flat-out denial from one of the parties, this has legs. Stay tuned."
Having sat on the gossip a few weeks waiting for the right time to raise the issue with Souray -- there's seldom a good time when a team is pooping itself -- I made the mention after Souray left the rink without talking and when I heard another media outlet was on the sniff.
While I wouldn't have dropped the hint something might be up if I was writing for the Canadian Press, the Globe and Mail or another MSM outlet because it wouldn't get past an editor looking for substantive sources and more meat, I see this gig as different.
If it has legs . . .
Before Tambellini's on-the-record "No" today and without a comment from Souray -- I sent him an e-mail asking him about the rumour -- I thought a couple of paragraphs would suffice.
I was amused by the reaction of some fans at sites like Hockey's Future. Some folks read the item and took note it was framed as a rumour before adding their two cents. Many did not. It made for much braying, even after I clarified the item in a subsequent comment.
I wrote: "Like I said earlier, this is a rumour and nothing more at this point. To discount it completely would be foolish, but it's also premature to take it as fact and start working out trade possibilities. The rumour, and the fact Souray has been separated from his kids, plus the fact he didn't talk to the media Monday are all bits and pieces. Do they add up to him requesting a trade? Maybe. Maybe not. All we can do is ask Tambellini if the request has been made.
If I had it firm from Souray or anybody else, I wouldn't be burying the item at the bottom of the story. It would be the story."
Even with that disclaimer, somebody named Homesick wrote: "Brownlee's man crush doesn't handle rejection well." Somebody who calls themselves IDrinkMomma'sPee, actually it was Replacement, declared: "Brownlee has gone south and has been hit with the blog bug. So much more fun to say anything and make it up."
Walking the line
Make it up? Well, no.
While I suspect Homesick and IDrinkMomma'sPee figure I make it up with my other writing gigs as well, there's no question the rules at Oilersnation are different -- I make them. In that regard, I have an advantage over MSM peers like Dan Barnes or Jim Matheson or Ryan Rishaug.
Good thing, because they're sharp and I'll take any edge I can get. They can't go with the Souray item, at least not the way I presented it. I can't either, if I'm writing for CP. But for OilersNation? Absolutely.
That said, I try not to get too loose with the journalistic rules I've grown up with. I won't write something I know is bogus. Making stuff up for the hell of it isn't my style. Without credibility, I might as well be wearing pajamas. You don't want that.
Fact is, if a player reads something that's a fabrication, he doesn't care whether it was written here or in the New York Times. All he wants to know is why you wrote that he wears women's clothing on the weekend, or wants to be traded when he doesn't.
Make stuff up, and you don't get another interview. I'm not worried about that with Souray. There's some smoke here -- he's not a happy camper, but much of that is because he's away from his children and this season sucked -- but apparently no trade fire.
Anyway, as I try to get the hang of this interweb thing while still wearing my MSM hats, I'll let the times I get it first and get it right speak for itself. In this business, that's how we keep score.
As for that talk about Pat Quinn and Tambellini's short list . . .
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on TEAM 1260.
Bingo: the difference is that up until these past couple of weeks, I can cite chapter and verse where Edm MSM DON'T go close to calling Lowe on the carpet; chapter and verse being a heckuva long time without on-ice success where you'd usually expect someone to ask why.
OTOH, Brownlee deals primarily with Oilers based bloggers and very few of them deal in any kind of rumour mongering whatsoever; mostly, it's numbers and facts.
April 16 2009, 03:20PM
@ Dennis:
Fair enough. Numbers, facts, and tiny jabs flanked by smiley faces :)
Right Dennis? :)
Anyway, what I should have said is that I think you weren't reading RB's rumour comment correctly. I didn't get that he was saying "all bloggers are rumour mongers." What I got was that MSM guys don't typically post rumours in mainstream publications because of differing standards, and that because MSM types do speak to players and team officials, one might interpret their seldom-published rumours as having more weight.
I don't recall Brownlee painting all bloggers with the same brush as being pyjamas-wearing basement-dwellers. In spite of the differences between newspapers and blogs -- and the ongoing and largely pointless dick measuring contest between the two camps -- he's generally been pretty respectful and tolerant of bloggers -- commenters sometimes get taken to task. For a good example of the respect RB has for competent bloggers, see his comments in J-Dub's Mistakes post.
And if you're going to cite chapter and verse where the MSM don't ask the hard questions -- in your very humble opinion, I'm certain -- it's pointless to zero in on Brownlee as the representative of MSM in Edmonton and take him to task for it. I can hook you up with the email addresses of all Oilers beat writers in town if you want to have an impact.
This is just getting weird, can we talk about the oilers again??
April 16 2009, 03:42PM
Rob, in the words of one Barack Obama: YES. WE. CAN.
@ Robin Brownlee: Some interesting points are being raised over at HF about this blog entry. Starting with this one (and some more continued on after it). Since you quoted someone from HF on this blog, wouldn't it be fair to at least reply/post a response on HF as well?
April 16 2009, 06:51PM
OFF TOPIC, but is it possible to think that Minnesota Wild owner Craig Leiopold, who formerlly owned the Nashville Predators, may take a hard look at his former club for a caoach and/or GM. I'm not necassarily thinking David Poile or Barry Trotz, as I'm thinking both are under contract and likely(?) to return, but moreso Assistant GM Paul Fenton & Associate Coach Brent Petersen.
April 16 2009, 07:06PM
Also, if you (AS THE EDMONTON OILERS SPECIFICALLY) could pick ANY coach currently employed by a playoff team, regardless of how "possible" or "likely" it was, who would it be? Let's exclude Brent Sutter's name from that list too, as his name has already come up. Mike Babcock? Claude Julien? Randy Carlyle? Joel Quenneville?
I'd take Ken Hitchcock (and I think there is a good chance that the Oil would too).
April 16 2009, 07:06PM
@ Ssseth: The whole reason I wrote the above item was to think out loud about the different ethics and standards involved and give my take on how I perceive them. I don't feel any need whatsoever to explain it all over again.
If some people are convinced it was somehow unethical to print the rumour in the way I did and for the reasons I mentioned, then I'm not going to change their minds. If they think it hurts my credibility as a MSM writer, they're welcome to that opinion. If Sheldon or any member of the team has a problem with it, I'm sure I'll hear about it. I suspect not.
If the hubbub is about the crude nickname reference, get over it. Of course it's stupid. Of course it's immature and not in the best taste. We get accused of that a lot around here. I mean, look at some of the photos we use. Look at the photo with this story. This site is supposed to be a detour and reprieve from the straight-laced world of the MSM and that's one of the reasons I signed on here. This isn't the NY Times.
I have no idea who "Replacement" is. I could have picked any one of a number of comments, but I chose his/her particular comment because it had a reference to making things up -- one of my points was that while I see this as a looser forum than, say, a newspaper, making things up is a line I won't cross. Nothing more.
April 16 2009, 07:10PM
@ RossCreek: Brent is respected around the league and could certainly be head coaching material. I don't know his contract status.
April 16 2009, 09:31PM
@ RossCreek: Still with coaches. If you're looking at NHL assistants who might move up, there are two who I'm willing to bet will make Tambellini's list.
One is Todd Richards of San Jose. Jim Matheson mentioned him in The Journal and I talked with somebody else who believes he will be strongly considered. Richards had a nice AHL resume before joining the Sharks.
The other is Geoff Ward, one of Claude Julien's assistants with Boston. I got a call today from somebody -- NOT with the Oilers -- who insisted Ward will be a strong candidate and I believe them. I know for a fact Ward impressed Kevin Lowe during his time with the Oilers. And, while Ward had a lousy record in the AHL with the Road Runners, it was a terrible team that nobody was going to turn into a winner. Not saying Ward is a favourite to get the job, but he'll be a darkhorse that would not have made a lot of people's lists.
April 16 2009, 10:19PM
I think the Souray rumour started on the hf oiler board about a month ago and it spread like a urban legend. Until it is proven, I believe it was a "chinese whisper" that people heard enough times and it became fact--reagardless of the fact it was true or not was not the issue.
April 16 2009, 10:30PM
@ Robin Brownlee: I could definately see Geoff Ward getting consideration. Willis put together his short list, etc. the other day, now that some of the smoke has settled handicap some of these names(ya I know its gonna be a while til a decision is made, and it may be too early to have any factual info, but what the heck, we're here so lets talk "non-MSM censored style" - F tha haters):
NO NHL HEAD COACHING EXP Scott Arniel Marc Habschied Perry Pearn Willie Desjardins Dale Hunter
PRIOR NHL HEAD COACHING EXP Pat Quinn Marc Crawford Tom Renney Bob Hartley Peter Laviolette
CURRENTLY EMPLOYED (Long Shot, but possible) Ken Hitchcokc Randy Carlyle Alain Vigneault Lindy Ruff Brent Sutter
Aside from Geoff Ward & Todd Richards, am I missing anyone else with a legitimate consideration?
April 16 2009, 10:54PM
Travis Moen should be on Tambellini's radar.
Effective 3rd liner with physicality. Could be a decent fit in Moreau's shoes if they were to decide to "go another way" with Ethan. Should we expect to see him back or see him moved? As good of a player & person I think Ethan is, I believe he's in the same boat as MacT. And his good buddy Steve Staios is right beside from where I sit.
Moen & Bryan Allen are a couple names I'd throw out there as replacements for the 2 vets.
April 16 2009, 11:03PM
@ RossCreek:
I think it would be a mistake not to view Paul MacLean and Don Lever as possibilities, but I am just guessing.
April 16 2009, 11:17PM
@ Jonathan Willis: Missed Lever, kinda left MacLean off on purpose, but ya your right. Not sure if Detroit wants to lose an assistant for the 2nd consecutive year, however I doubt they'd stand in his way either.
Anyway, check this out: (kinda gives new meaning to "debacle of monumental proportions") www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDVePgwBiqA
Wow this got a lot of play.
I am not sure why.
Robin clearly framed it as a rumour and nothing more, he thought it had legs and it did.
While Jason Gregor seems to have found out that Souray was or is unhappy (I wonder how much that changes now that Mactavish is gone?) and has not requested a trade. It is clear that he was unhappy and went to his agent.
Robin wrote the blog and because of that Gregor followed it up. Most likely because he has respect to Robin's intuition and reputation.
I don't always agree with Robin and have said so in the past but in this case I feel he did his job and now we are better informed because of it.

I like the thought of Dale Hunter coming in here and stirring the pot.

Flames in on Corban Knight - Update: Confirmed
Kent Wilson
June 17 2013 07:44PM
It was noted this evening by Edmonton radio host Bob Stauffer that the Flames may be making a play for former Panthers 5th rounder Corban Knight. A 22-year old center from High River, Knight recently completed his fourth season at the University of North Dakota where he scored 49 points in 41 games.
Knight's stock has increased since being picked by Florida in 2009. He was a better than a point-per-game producer in college after his freshman season and at 6'2", 200 pounds has the sort of size people are looking for in centermen.
Jason Gregor wrote an excellent profile of Knight recently:
Knight was very poised, polite and extremely humble during our phone interview. I'd say he offers more than just little offensive upside.
He was one of the 10 finalists for the 2013 Hobey Baker Award, handed out annually to the top NCAA men's hockey player. Knight had a stellar senior year at UND. His accomplishments include:
Finishing in the top 10 in scoring in the nation;
A 19-game point streak, the longest at UND in the last 25 years;
Getting points in 29 games, second most in the nation;
Winning 60 per cent of his faceoffs. In fact, Knight's past three seasons have been very consistent as he's averaged 58 per cent in the faceoff dot.
Knight was very adamant that the strengths of his game are his defensive awareness and faceoffs, but he clearly possesses an offensive touch. He has steadily improved as a player, but he believes college allowed him to grow as a person.
Knight and his agent recently told the Panthers organization they would opt for free agency, which is why the player is available. He sounds like he falls in the org's wheelhouse given how much Weisbrod and company have foregrounded things like character, hockey sense and collegiate atheletes since taking over.
Knight would also add another decent prospect at center, which is where the team would desperately like to build strength moving forward. I don't think he has a high upside as a scorer in the show given his numbers, but at 22 and already a complete two-way player he could be much closer to jumping in and providing value relative to any of the kids the Flames will be taking in the draft.
Assuming they actually acquire and sign him of course. We'll update this article if that happens.
Flames have announced this morning they have acquired Knight from the Panthers. No word on the price yet,
but we'll update in the comments when that is released. Sounds like a 4th round pick. A very low cost to pay.
Knight is a good addition to the Flames prospect pool. In the current top-15 rankings, he'd likey slot in the top-5 at the very least.
He didn't bring anything to the table. Saying "this kid sucks and you're all stupid for thinking otherwise" doesn't improve the conversation here.
I'm okay with any opinion or rebuttal as long as there is meat on the bone.
Fair enough, I'm in Edmonton for work for a few days and I think it's messing with my mojo.
How can you say Mackinnon isn't a fit for Florida? I'm smarter than all of you and I say he's a fit for every team.
btw Knight will be an AHL player
book it
Everytime you book something, DSF, it never happens. So Knight will go on to have an NHL career
Good move by Feaster and WEisbrod, but will someone please explain to me why these guys seem to love pciking up college players. Jankowski, Agostino, Hanowski, Gillies, Knight, etc.
I don't think its a bad move to go the college route to grab talent, but is it just because their both American that they seem to have such a love for collegiate players?
June 18 2013, 11:32PM
We can't all be ass kissers.
No idea who this kid is, which is why you'll notice I haven't commented. But I appreciate the unprovoked attack.
Personally, I think calling someone a troll for calling a marginal prospect a career NHLer and then banning him for sticking up for himself goes against what FN is all about.
What on earth did I say that was an attack?
I defended (at least initially) his right to express an opinion and noted that I didn't think it would be dissimilar from yours - something you actually agree with.
June 18 2013, 11:37PM

A. Weisbrod has heavily scouted the NCAA
B. College prospects tend to be older and are closer to being productive.
C. The age range they fall in is where the biggest gap in current prospects lies for the team.
D. All of the above.
I doubt that being American has anything much to do with it.
My apologies then. Like I said, I blame Edmonton. But I don't "agree" per se, I only used the term "marginal" based on draft spot and what we gave up. I really know nothing about the player.
The Flames acquire a center with a 4th round pick and he falls into the top five on our prospect list? What exactly does that say about our prospect pool? The shelves may be filing up, but with what, AHL level marginal NHL talent?
He only went for a 4th because he was a pending FA. If he was under contract, Florida wouldn't have traded him in the first place.

If they weren't about to lose him for nothing come August, I don't think Florida would trade him for a 4th rounder.
@Kevin R
Also worth noting that Pronman had Knight ranked 4th in the Panthers' system. Which he had ranked 1st in the league.
