This is Daniil Zharkov dealing with an evildoer. Zharkov may be getting more attention than normal for an Oiler draft pick, as the lockout and the internet will give Oilers Nation a chance to check up on the prospects regularly. How DO you follow all of the prospects?
This winter--as always--Oilers prospects will be scattered all over the Norhern Hemisphere and following them can be a pain. I well remember attempting to get stats on kids like Alexei Mikhnov (who seemed to be playing in the 1950's during his time in the RSL) or trying to get Eddie Caron's transfer papers from one college of the idle rich to another.
It can be a pain, and there's no one stop shopping.
Well, yes, you're right I am lying. For many years now, poster Seachd at hfboards has done the painstaking work of regularly updating minor, junior and Euro stats. Hooo boy, what a lot of work! Last season's edition (thread #2) is here.
If you want to follow these guys closely, then there are a few bookmarks that might come in handy:
- Coming Down the Pipe! This is the blog for the Pipeline show, the best show of its kind on the planet. Breaking news, prospect updates and draft profiles are a part of the package. Must read.
- WHL From Above: Quality site that gives terrific insight on the entire league.
- Taking Note is Gregg Drinnan's blog, and his is kind of an 'industry' blog. Former players, former coaches, interesting stories--Drinnan packs a lot of info into his blog each week.
- Shawn Mullin's Swift Current Broncos blog covers SC but also gives you great insight into the league and its relationship with the NHL. The Reece Scarlett article this week is an excellent example.
- Yahoo Hockey buzzing the net is an outstanding blog that covers all ranges of hockey. An exceptional resource.
- Small Thoughts at Large is another daily WHL stop worth your time.
- the scouting report is a fun intro for next summer's draft if that's your thing. They have their Preliminary top 30 up now, Curtis Lazar is #10. Drop in and find out the 9 prospects who are apparently better (I don't believe it).
- OHL Prospects is a wonderful resource, an absolute beauty.
- Lets go DU is a strong blog and they follow Denver U, so Joey Laleggia updates should be available there.
- New England Hockey Journal is a stunning resource for hockey fans. You may recognize Kirk Luedeke from his appearances on Edmonton Radio. He currently can be heard on Nation Radio and The Pipeline Show! several times a year, and goes all the way back to the legendary John Short sports talk show that basically laid the groundwork for modern sportstalk radio in our city.
- Unofficial USHL hockey blog is a fine resource on the best emerging junior league on the planet.
- Big Puck redhead is a Cornell blog and should keep us updated on John McCarron this winter.
- Future Considerations is a smooth site but also has great information.
- Tend the Farm is a quality blog focused on the OKC Barons.
- Artful Puck is a gorgeous blog devoted to the Barons.
- Go OKC Barons is a nice tumblr resource for photos.
- Michigan Tech hockey guide should give us some things on Jujhar Khaira this winter.
- Swedish Oil is a must read, lockout or no lockout.
I will, and promise to pass along something of interest every week (Oil Kings pre-season is underway, Moroz has an assist in 2 games and Ewanyk is playing and has an assist in 1 game.) However, the blogs and sites posted above should make for some interesting reading if you find yourself getting curious during the winter.
A big part of the Oilers future is still bubbling below the surface. None of us wants a lockout, but there is a silver lining: the Edmonton Oilers have some terrific prospects to follow.
Kicks off at noon Edmonton time on Team 1260, emails welcome at firstname.lastname@example.com and you can also touch base in the comments section. I'm a twitter addict, @Lowetide_ or @ItsNationRadio.
Scheduled to appear:
- Jonathan Willis from COH and Oilers Nation. We'll talk lockout, Eberle comparables, projecting the future and the Oilers playoff chances in 12-13.
- Terry Jones from the Edmonton Sun. We'll talk about the Oilers summer, what Terry will be covering without NHL hockey in Edmonton this winter (should it come to pass) and there's every chance the Eskimos may be discussed.
- Harrison Mooney from Puck Daddy and Pass it to Bulis! I want to find out about his exceptional Olympic coverage, along with a rundown of the team on the left coast---which will include a Luongo segment that should be humorous.
- Cam Charron from Leafs Nation. We'll talk about that ridiculous ESPN The Magazine story that ranks the Leafs as the worst sports franchise in North America, and try to name the Leafs starting centermen in order and with authority.
- Eric T. from Broadstreet Hockey and NHL Numbers. Back by popular demand, Tulsky's work has been inspiring. His zone entry studies represent a true breakthrough in how we view the game, which players we should hold in high value, and we'll explore that and other issues. I will be asking Eric several questions about his Flyers preview at NHL Numbers, so you might want to read it (outstanding).

My have we come a long way. I wonder if anyone saves newspaper clippings anymore. I recall snipping the final scoring stats from the paper at the end of each season and archiving them so that I could have multiple seasons to look at when sitting down to pick my pool teams.
Thanks to guys like you LT for making the task enormously easier and giving the feeling of being productive while I'm wasting time.

Looks frivolous. How can one small jurisdiction hold any kind of authority over only 1/15 of any industry?
Great lineup, looking forward to it!

And we all know how much the Alberta provincial governments love unions, sorry, I mean associations.
It'd be pretty funny if, in the end, what brought closure to this ego-trip by Bettman and Fehr were the obscure labour laws of some provincial NHL backwater* (*according to sources in Toronto and New York).
Thanks for the reading list LT. It wouldn't be fall without someone handing out a supplementary reading list!
As a side note, do any of those sites listed contain the same aesthetic incentives as yours?
September 08 2012, 12:18PM
If one jurisdiction does side with the PA, others will follow. Owners don't have much ground to stand on this time around.

Hey LT,
A should there be a lockout, a full year length, how will draft order be determined? Same way as the Crosby lottery?
If so a lockout is a good thing for the oil...

"...emotional volatility is best utilised in an anerobic fashion out on the ice..."

"...emotional volatility is best utilised in an anerobic fashion out on the ice..."
Translation: get mad and stop breathing = increased on-ice performance.
Sheer brilliance!
My new mission statement is: Make completely random hockey blogs.
Well if that is your mission statement ,the best of luck to you,ha ha ha.
Seriously,maybe I worded that wrong for you,but the meaning is still the same,let me give you a graphic example--there is a nice post somewhere on the Oilers site under moma2 that discusses this very topic in regards to reactions in front of the public and the referees surrounding penalty calls,we had some young guys overdramatiseing and the team quickly intervened and after one specific game mid year last year the Oilers as a team buried that issue and they as a group developed a new respect for the officials and it is now a part of their identity,the Oilers do not whine or dramatise out there,they do not embarras referees,they respect the officials and the integrity of the game,this is who they are now as a team,professional and accountable.
Sorry ,point is this,you need to understand that emotional control and actions are all connected to your adrenal gland and you entire mainframe ,if you dont learn to pace that emotion/adrenal connection then you cannot reach an elite level of personal performance management on the ice.You do not go out there and simply unleash all of your emotions for a minute and a half shift,then sit down on the bench and shut it off properly or contain it to a manageable level without a great deal of practice.
Hence just as excerciseing your body can be done in an aerobic manner and an anerobic manner,your emotional control of your adrenal glands output and performance can be controlled aerobicly and anerobicly.
One means a constant steady high output effort,and one means a series of high output efforts performed-segments which in their individual energy output exceed the aerobic output for short time periods.
Think the Tortise and the Hare---the Tortise is aerobic and the Hare is anerobic.
The reason you see competitors useing inappropriate body language and facial expressionsis because they dont have a working awareness of the imoprtance these mannerisms carry with them in relation to overall performance and game mentality.It is about timeing,there are no facial expression and body language "rules"that are written in stone,therefore it is a dynamic that can be either positive or negative,it can help you win or it can help you lose,it all a matter of knowledge and understanding,no competitor is going to make a contrary decision that disadvantges them if they have knowledge of a better method.
Yet we still see this dynamic affecting the outcomes of NHL games all the time----this is why we clearly deal with this issue at the core value level in the NewAge Hockey System.
September 09 2012, 10:23AM
Wow, gold mine. Thanks LT :)
As regards the non-Scarlet Monroe-Nicks picture, I hate you Michael Douglas.
September 09 2012, 08:29PM
Finding information on the prospects in Europe or the NCAA can be difficult. Thanks for the links LT!
"Hooo" nelly. That's a lot of reading (New age). Good info if I was paid professionally to know that stuff. However, I'm the kind of guy to talk about that stuff around the water coolers and the bar tables.
Lazy? Yes, but my best conotions around these parts come from the article's author or comments section.
I'll leave it up to others to interpret and analyze. I'll just opinionize thank you.
*Props to the telecaster joke*

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dreamgirl Lovely Lacies Lovely, soft and beautifully fitting panties! But they sure are expensive.... September 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roodie Great fit It's hard to find underwear that doesn't sag below your belly (if one is somewhat full-figured); this one stays up. October 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Harriet Style that suits me My daughter has been enthusiastic about Hanky Pankys, so I thought I'd give them a try. I like this cut very much, below my navel, fairly high leg cut, trim, with slight compression, and very comfortable. Despite their size categorizations, XL is a very good fit on me and I am an 18. I'd say the fit is very generous. I think they are made in the USA too! October 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaryLennox Wonderful! As a woman of a certain age, who has had children and the resulting body changes, I'm always on the look out for attractive, comfortable underwear that doesn't slip down, ride up, or look like bloomers. I finally overlooked the price because of the comments, and ordered three pair. They are so wonderful that I immediately ordered three more! Worth every penny to me. September 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bibby Love these undies I am 68 years old, 5' 7" and weigh 140 lbs. Had three kids....you know how it goes! I love these cause they fit and don't slide down. Absolutely no panty line so I love them. Have 5 pairs and will order some more. They're the best. April 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aceviv Sexy and Practical These are fabulous panties. They last wash after wash and help keep things looking smooth under dresses and pants alike. The lace top makes them sexy while holding the tummy in a bit. March 21, 2015

We're about to take our first airplane trip with our one-year-old. We flew quite a bit before she was born, but now we're not sure what to pack or how to make this trip successful.
Learn about it
Even if you racked up your share of frequent flyer miles before your baby was born, forget what you know of travel so far. Flying with a little one is a whole different story.
If you fear turning into one of those families we've all met aboard planes - those with squalling, unruly, squirming children who tend to bring out the same traits in their fellow passengers - take heart. My oldest child, Angela was just 14 days old when she took her first flight, and since then, I've taken many more trips with my four children. I know that you can travel with your little ones and enjoy the process. Forethought and preparation are the keys.
Planning the trip
The details of your trip often can mean the difference between success and disaster. Keep these ideas in mind as you plan:
Examine all aspects of the journey when you book your flights. Aim for direct flights so that you can avoid changing planes. If you have to make a change, avoid short layovers that give you too little time to get from gate to gate, and conversely avoid long layovers that require lots of idle time in airports.
When you make your reservations, give the agent the ages of all passengers. You may learn some important rules such as:
If your child falls asleep easily and stays asleep, try scheduling travel for during your child's nap or sleep times. If you have a finicky sleeper, on the other hand, avoid traveling during usual sleep times, as your baby may just stay fussy and awake.
Reserve your seats in advance to be sure your entire party sits together.

Those powers he gained only later on, if he had them, then he would not need to use GM and probably would save both Konan and Yahiko. The anger released his shinratensei, but only later on he gained others powers by studing his rinnegan. If it wasn't for Yahiko's death and summoning GM, he might not been able to ever use those powers. You mustn't forget, he wasn't like Sasuke, he didn't get the list of what and how his eyes can do other things.
It never really was mentioned when Nagato summoned the GM for the first time, as Konan knew what he was planing and tried to stop him.
It was probably similar with the summon path, he have seen the world wide and found countless summons and strenghtened them. They could be just like in Sasuke's case, just a normal animals, but thanks to rinnegan and the rods they were powered up.

George Zimmerman's defense attorney, Mark O'Mara, said that the news media were the reason that he was painted as a monster and that they took the story and 'ran him over' with it. VPC
George Zimmerman is a free man.
After being found not guilty Saturday night in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the judge told Zimmerman that he would be released and his ankle monitor removed once he left the courthouse in Sanford, Fla.
Zimmerman could also be a marked man.
Robert Zimmerman Jr., Zimmerman's brother, spoke to CNN after the verdict and expressed concern for his brother's safety.
"He will be looking around his shoulder the rest of his life," he said.
Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara said that people who think Zimmerman killed Trayvon for racial reasons could react violently.
"He has to be cautious and protective of his safety," O'Mara said after the verdict.
Demonstrators outside the courthouse exclaimed disbelief, one by one, as they learned Zimmerman was found not guilty.
"The system has failed!" irate demonstrators chanted.
Zimmerman showed no emotion as the verdict was read. Afterward, he smiled slightly and shook hands with one of his lawyers.
Zimmerman may have to go into hiding and be unable to live a normal life for some time, said Jose Baez, the defense attorney who successfully defended Casey Anthony, a Florida mother accused of killing her daughter in a high-profile capital murder case.
"The end is not near for George Zimmerman," he said.

YOU CAN FIND ME HERE: http://twitter.com/BentleyGTCSpeed New consulting and leadership tips posted daily! AND FIND ME ON FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=788...amp;ref=profile 1. Techniques for Balance Here's what I think are examples of what I'd call "class," which is manifest by a balanced and confident life: • If you're uncertain, you tend to over-tip, not under-tip, and you give something extra at the holidays. • You hold the door for someone even though you know that will enable them to get in a line ahead of you. • You forgive minor transgressions—non-working air conditioning, incorrectly spelled names, being late by five minutes—with grace and humor. • You pick up the check when dining or drinking with others more often than not. • You realize in a pubic conveyance, a theater, or a restaurant, that these are not private rooms and you must make reasonable concessions to others trying to enjoy the same experience. • You argue points, not personality, and don't resort to ad hominem attacks (you're too old, you're arrogant, you're the wrong gender), which is the sanctuary of the intellectually bereft. • You are not afraid to offer constructive ideas that will help others when asked, and when not asked if the situation is embarrassing (lettuce in teeth, dandruff on shoulder, mascara on cheek). • You share credit but monopolize blame. And when solving problems, you search for cause, not blame. • You don't share secrets you accept to hear, nor violate confidences you agree to keep. • You defer readily to others in matters of taste—the choice for dinner, the dress code for an event, the selection of seats. You stand firm on principle (no cheating on tests). • You extend the benefit of the doubt until and unless evidence proves you wrong. 2. Musings There are a lot of conspiracy theories. Was it Fidel Castro or the mafia, or just a deranged gunman who shot President Kennedy? Are college campuses inordinately influenced by leftist professors? Is the Tea Party really an artifact of hidden, wealthy interests? Are the Golden Globe Awards really decided by who best wines and dines the foreign press voters? Did Bristol Palin survive to the semi-finals on Dancing With the Stars (AKA: Dancing With the Vaguely Familiar) because of a voting cabal formed by her mother's supporters? I don't know about you, but I'm already exhausted! Without commenting on the legitimacy or relative probabilities of these and other conspiracy beliefs, I will share my observation about what these positions all have in common: a feeling of personal weakness and ineffectiveness, that creates paranoia. This can become quite serious, since there are children dying of polio and measles in Africa in areas where the conspiracy belief is that the vaccinations are attempts to give people AIDS or otherwise enslave them. I remember receiving a newsletter which strongly warned me against traditional rabies and distemper preventatives for my dogs, citing them as more dangerous than the diseases themselves, and advocating some kind of naturalistic prophylactic approach. There is zero evidence for such a position, which is easy to empirically prove or disprove. I'm not endangering my dogs' health because someone believes in the inexplicable. Yet people create, support, and are directed by conspiracy psychology because they really feel weak and ineffectual and are seeking some reason outside of themselves for their perceived position. On a global scale, some cultures and governments are driven by this vast feeling of insecurity, blaming others for their own woes, and even provoking hostile acts driven by the conspiracy beliefs. On our individual levels, the ability to empower ourselves, to feel in control of our lives, to correctly anticipate and plan for the future, will pretty much obviate the need to create conspiracy theories. Once you achieve that level of self-awareness and control, you realize that the people at the club aren't trying to freeze you out of the committee; the investment counselor has not used your funds just to boost commissions; the teachers haven't taken retribution against your child for your position in a public meeting; and the officials were not on the take when the home team lost. Conspiracy creation and adherence require a lot of work. Working with the facts requires a lot of confidence. The choice is ours. **************************************************************************** NEW: JOIN ALAN'S FRIDAY WRAP™ http://summitconsulting.com/seminars/friday%20wrap.php Weekly, 15-minute podcasts with segments on current business events, new intellectual property, and some humor.

(I have only 10 seats remaining, we are half-filled already.) ******************************************************************************* 3. The Human Condition: Crime and No Punishment A psychiatrist named Walter Bromberg wrote once that "society loves its crime but hates its criminals." I cited him in October in one of Alan's Monday Morning Memos®. Yet, I beg to differ. I've been thinking about the fabulous cable series The Sopranos, which had a long, critically-acclaimed run that made the mafia look like the folks next door (which they were). Currently, there is a brilliant series on HBO called Boardwalk Empire with a faithful, multi-million dollar reproduction of a portion of Atlantic City's boardwalk in the early 1920s. Steve Buscemi (who also had a role in The Sopranos) brilliantly leads a cast of the corrupt doing battle with the unethical. I realize I'm probably unbalanced arguing with a psychiatrist, but I think that we tend to love our criminals while hating our crime. In my view, the most reprehensible character on Boardwalk Empire is the zealous federal agent pursuing the bootleggers (this is the dawn of Prohibition in the U.S.), who breaks laws and commits murder because his cause is "just". There is quite a bit of sympathy for Buscemi, who peels hundred dollar bills from a huge wad he keeps in his pocket whenever he feels a sympathetic twinge for someone. And we tend to take his side against the New Yorkers trying to horn in on his liquor enterprises. (He saves himself by keeping Nicky Arnstein out of jail for fixing the World Series!) Today, we're more bemused by bank robbers than scared of them (at least, if we're not in the bank at the time). We're not amused by the Somali pirates, but we have a soft spot for the old swashbuckling type. As long as we're not behind them and it's not our line, we grudgingly admire the people who cut-in to long lines to avoid the wait. (I'd cut TSA every time, if I could.) I'm told that people often brag about exceeding the speed limits all the way home from a trip, even surpassing 100 mile per hour. Imagine? There is something about the crafty criminal, especially if there's a "good heart" or engaging salutary human characteristics that enders this person to many of us, despite the criminal acts. After all, we witness cheating in sports all the time—hand balls in soccer, subtle pass interference in football, doping in cycling, underage gymnasts, and Derek Jeter of the Yankees accepting a base for a pitched ball that hit his bat, not his body. Well, as legend has it during that very real fix of the 1919 World Series, a young boy on the courthouse steps yelled at his hero "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, "Say it ain't so, Joe!" But I'm afraid it is. We're all somewhat fascinated by the dark side, and where daylight becomes twilight. 4. ONLY READ THIS IF YOU KNOW ME WELL OR YOU'LL BE NEEDLESSSLY TICKED-OFF DEPARTMENT I had been invited to a private club with a small group of friends by a guy who was dating one of the women, and who I thought was a loudmouth. (He invited us to his club, but arranged for individual checks for us!! See "class" above.) At one point, the conversation turned to a major trial in the city, and a woman asked what jury nullification meant. I waxed eloquent and told her, happy to take the floor away from Mr. Big. When I was done, his companion said, "Why don't you say something, Roy? After all, you are the best known trial lawyer in this city"! The great thing about telling the truth is that you have to remember so much less if you're asked again. -- AW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The University of Mount Union Department of Theatre will present A Servant of Two Masters on November 15-18 in the Rodman Playhouse on Mount Union's campus.
Servant of Two Masters, written by Carlo Goldoni and
translated and adapted by Tom Cone,is written as a Commedia del'Arte, a
fast-paced, loosely structured style of comedic theatre that features
over the top physical comedy. It tells the story of Truffaldino (a
Harlequin clown) and his quest to serve as a "gentleman" to two masters.
Along the way, he runs into a doctor spouting phony Latin, a miserly
father more concerned with money than his daughter's happiness and a
giant bowl of spaghetti. Although this story is set in the 17th
century, Mount Union's production will include dashes of contemporary
life, including high-top sneakers, a live band and cell phones. The use
of Commedia masks provide exaggerated expressions and force the
performers to maintain a strong physical presence, speaking as much with
their bodies as their voices.
Under the direction of Assistant Professor of Theatre Kevin Kern, the cast and crew includes:
Costume design for the play is by Deb Lotsof, professor of theatre,
and can be described as "inspired silliness" with plenty of stage gags.
The set, designed by Rudy Roggenkamp, associate professor of theatre, is
abstract with plenty of playing areas for the physical comedy and
features an embedded tribute to Mount Union.
Show times are 8 p.m. November 15-17 and 2 p.m. November 18.
The Rodman Playhouse is located on the corner of Simpson Street and
Union Avenue on Mount Union's campus. Tickets are $8 for general
admission and $7 for senior citizens. Tickets are complimentary for
Mount Union faculty, staff and students. For more information or to
order tickets, call (330) 823-3860.

I had this math teacher that didn't want to teach math. You know how normal math teachers usually go over problems from the homework the night before just so you can learn about how to solve it?
She would always say, "No, we don't have time for that. This is a short class and we don't have time to cover that."

Zias absorb two defeats in tourney
August 24, 2007
CANYON, Texas — The Eastern New Mexico University volleyball team got off to a rocky start under first-year coach Kim Falkenhagen Friday, losing twice in three games each on the first day of West Texas A&M's Lady Buff Classic.
ENMU lost to Incarnate Word 30-19, 30-28, 30-23 in its first match before bowing to Pittsburg State 30-21, 30-20, 30-27.
Against Incarnate Word (2-1), junior outside hitter Vanessa Wilcox led the Zias with seven kills while senior outside hitter Jessie Macknicki and junior middle blocker Megan Wietz added six kills apiece. Emily Kopecki and Kim Kvapil led the Lady Cardinals, each collecting 11 kills.
Junior defensive specialist Nicole Vanderploeg added 17 digs and Macknicki had 11 for ENMU.
The Zias played Pitt State (2-0) close in the first game until late. ENMU pulled to 20-19 on a kill by Wilcox before the Gorillas pulled away with 10 of the final 12 points. ENMU scored first on a kill by senior outside hitter Randi Egley in the second game, but Pitt State controlled the rest of the game for a 2-0 lead.
The third game was nip-and-tuck the entire way. ENMU led three times by a point midway through, but with the score tied 26-26 the Gorillas got two kills and took advantage of a Zias setting error to move to match point.
Macknicki led the Zias with 10 kills, and also added eight assists, eight digs and two aces. Freshman setter Karen McIntyre collected 20 assists in the match.
Pittsburg State got a match-high 14 kills from Sammie Williams.
The Zias complete play in the event today, taking on New Mexico Highlands at noon (MDT) and Oklahoma Panhandle State at 3 p.m.

So, who saw this start to the 2010-11 Season coming? A great big nobody that's who.
Here we are a week into the regular season and the Leafs. The same Leafs we have alternately cursed and cried over for the past decade - those Leafs - are 4-0. Uh, WTF?
First of all how is this even possible? What bizarre series of events led us to this, this inexplicable and oh-so awesome start to the season?
How did our Leafs do it? Did they play the crappy Oilers-esque four times in a row? No.
Were the other teams crippled with some sort of SARS type Toronto disease that we unleashed on them as part of a multi tiered battle plan that included some degree of Biological Warfare? No.
Did they do it with good ol fashioned hard work and Wendell Clark type gumption? Oddly enough - yes.
They put on their hard hats and went to work.
And that Leaf lovers is why we should be worried. Very worried. Hard work, finding ways to get a win, playing as a team? Worried indeed. Look we've been down this path before. Many times. The team starts to gel, the wins are racking up faster that Lindsay Lohan drug charges, new heroes emerge out of the ashes of the previous years and there is this feeling in your gut, in your very hockey heart, that maybe just maybe this team isn't gonna disappoint.
I consider this "Leafs disease" which is part of a larger family of illness called "Canadian Hockey Fan Syndrome." It has been known to infect thousands of our Countrymen year after year and leads only to nausea, heartburn and in it's final stages utter heart break. And I'm neighbours with a real doctor - so I know medicine related stuff when I see it.
Your team is winning and you're eating all you can eat Vegas style prime rib buffet. Life is good. But do you honestly think it could this be the core that leads Toronto out of the desert?
Are Phaneuf, Burke and Wilson some kinda Moses trifecta that will take the sorry lost souls of Leaf Nation to the Promised Land? In a word: No.
Come on, 4-0. Big whoop. That's why they call them roller coaster seasons. Expectations need to go waaaaaaay up before they can come crashing down, terrifying us all in the process. What does a 4-0 start really tell us? Nothing, nadda, zilch.
The worst thing this team could do to the hearts and minds of The LeafsNation is win and win early. When the inevitable Shaquille O'Neil sized other shoe drops and this team goes into a downward Mel Gibson esque spiral, getting shut out, out shot and outplayed on a nightly basis, we will be left to mutter statements aloud including:
- "How did this happen?"
- "I really thought Bozak was #1 line material, wasn't he?"
- "Holy crap how do I get more of this Justin Beiber nail polish?"
When the reality comes crashing down and we're left to rocking ourselves to sleep at night in our Felix Potvin bed sheets, we will be haunted by the feeling we had oh so early this year when you were cheering a 4-0 team. That feeling of pride. The feeling of a winner. The feeling we wished would never end and run us all right into the playoffs.
Because friends, this has been happening to me for literally hundreds of years in a row. That's right, in addition to living next to a Doctor, I am immortal. Immortal and sentenced to perpetual Leafs mediocrity that links my infinite existence to being infinitely disappointed in the Leafs.
Alright fine. Perhaps I am not immune to Earthly Perils. But I have been around the block once or twice and I can tell you that the worst thing about going 4-0 is it hurts so much more when the team free falls into a vat of suckfuric acid. The cup brimming joy I feel now will only lead me to greater unhappiness right around the corner.
I can feel it.
October 18 2010, 05:11PM
oh wait nope...
oh wait nope...
Did you just self comment?!
Welcome to the team. Self promotion is a must.
October 18 2010, 07:36PM
I am so not above self commenting, self promotion, self congratulating, heck I even threw myself a little "First Blog" party for myself tonight.
Total number of guests? That right, just one.
'grats Fiveandagame ;-)
p.s... didn't know you were a Leaf fan.
"Has been eating cheese since 1981"
I can dig.
I decided to come over here, where my comments will actually be noticed, without the sea of Oilers blue. Nice blog by the way, I have it on good authority that the Leafs will lose to the Isles last night and end the streak. I actually hope the Leafers do well this year, I feel their pain. Oilers vs Leafs for the cup.
October 19 2010, 12:14PM
@Team Hall
I think we can all breathe easy now that Leafs have lost one. OTL are still losses.
As for their pain. Very few professional sports fans have endured more heartbreak and mediocrity than the loyal in Leaf land.
Like 1967 yo.
Like 43 freakin' years....
Whats crazy is there is still a looooong waiting list for season tickets. I am pretty sure you could almost by Phoenix for the $ of two Gold seasons tickets.
and now for something completely different.

At first, the "Mutual Fund Song" made us at Barrons.com cringe. Then we laughed. Finally, we nodded our heads in agreement on at least a few occasions.
The message, after all, is a good one: The need to think about investing for the long haul.
I'm referring to the investor-education video from India's Birla Sun Life Asset Management that has recently surpassed 1.1 million views on YouTube. It's described by one blogger as a means of getting young people in India to think about investing. With a rap video. A rap video about mutual funds.
Here it is for your enjoyment.

Typhoon Jelawat was bearing down on Okinawa on September 28, 2012, with mainland Japan lurking in its future. Forecasts called for the eye of the storm to pass over or close to Okinawa as a category 2 or 3 typhoon on September 29. Jelawat was predicted to approach Japan's main island of Honshu as a category 1 typhoon or tropical storm late on September 30.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this image of Jelawat on September 28, 2012. The typhoon brushed within 200 miles of the coast of Taiwan, but did not inflict significant damage.
At 21:00 Universal Time on September 28 (6 a.m. Japan Standard Time on September 29), the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) reported maximum significant wave heights of 12 meters (39 feet), sustained winds of 194 kilometers (120 miles) per hour, and gusts up to 240 kilometers (149 miles) per hour. The typhoon was centered at 25.5° North latitude, 126.5° East longitude, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) southwest of Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan.
Jelawat formed on September 20 and reached "super typhoon" status—maximum sustained winds above 240 kilometers (150 miles) per hour—by September 24. University of Miami meteorologist Brian McNoldy wrote: "Jelawat became the second super typhoon to pass over the region in two weeks: Sanba was just there on September 13-14. While the western Pacific is no stranger to frequent typhoons, it is quite rare to have two consecutive super typhoons."
The typhoon has weakened as it has moved northward, but it still poses a formidable threat to island and coastal communities.

Lovely style...but the fit was "ok"
"Will give it 3.7 stars to be exact only because of fit. Took a chance and ordered these online in size 7. Perhaps I should have gone up to a 7.5 for a more comfortable fit. But it's sort of a guessing game at times online. The style is much nicer in person. I would still recommend this shoe because it is stylish, classy and timeless all at the same time, however, do get your accurate size as mine was a bit snug and i did have to wear a band aid at the back above heel for added comfort. Will still wear cause it's really cute."

"You will love this NW Flat !Zebra patter will go with pretty much any color, light or dark, cool or warm. And it can be dressed up or down.I like the flat look, so my toes won't show; don't like the style where your toes are half exposed.It runs a bit big for me, so I am a truly size 4.5. Since I'd like to put a insole in my shoes anyway, being a little big doesn't bother me at all."

Posted on November 20th, 2008 by Bassett The change of scenery has been a welcome transition for Kris Jenkins, but reporters in the 8-2 Panthers press pool are noticing a change in the locker room in Carolina, but no ones willing to come right out and say what its all about.
Fullback Brad Hoover mentioned there are no bad apples anymore.Meanwhile, Jenkins is glad of his new start, writes Newsdays Erik Boland.
Added Peppers: In the past we might have had one or two guys that wanted to do their own thing, and cause a little ruckus.
Damione Lewis, who took Jenkins spot on the line, was a little more direct.
He handled situations in a way that werent really appropriate for the team, Lewis said.
Make no mistake, Jenkins is an incredible talent - a freakish athlete who is speedy, strong and dominant despite his massive frame. Its just that he had grown tired of Carolina, and the Panthers had certainly grown weary of his act.
Two months after Jenkins questioned whether he wanted to stay in Carolina, the Panthers granted his wish. Jenkins, armed with the new contract he wanted for years, is now motivated and probably a better fit in the Jets 3-4 defence.
It was always something, he said of his seven seasons with the Panthers. I could never figure out why things got to where they did. But Im glad Im right where Im at.Jets fans have welcomed Jenkins with open arms and hes been a huge upgrade for this defense. I was watching some of the Broncos games this past week, and there was our old friend D-Rob getting pushed backwards by a Falcons offensive line like he was Superman slowing a runaway freight train. The difference on the line and who controls the line of scrimmage this season is in large part thanks to Jenkins.
Jenkins has enjoyed the fresh start, and his teammates appreciate him and what hes done for the team. Hes taken the role of one of the teams spokesmen, something he does with alacrity. But the team knows his history and has set up his contract as such (setting up many weight based bonuses) so my hope is that he stays engaged and enthused about football as long as hes in New York.
