The Illusion of Choice Oct 02 0 comments
The 2012 presidential election is fast approaching and Americans will participate in this ritual of voting for a member of the Democratic Party or Republican Party. This is almost the same as deciding to have Coca-Cola or Pepsi. Democrats and Republicans are constantly arguing and promoting their liberal and conservative views (just different sides of the same corrupt coin). This is merely a show this two party system is owed by the same corporatist elites and funded by the same internationally bankers. They may have different tone, but over all they are both practically the same one comes in a blue can and the other one in a red can, but when those cans are open they both contain the same substance.

Canada: Elections: all we can hope for? Nov 25 0 comments
Elections are neither nothing nor everything. Within narrow bounds, we get to choose -- criminally narrow bounds that mean they cannot touch the things that mean life or death, more suffering or less suffering, for many, but can make small but real changes that mean life or death, more suffering or less suffering, for others. It would be politically foolish and morally dubious to ignore that.more >>

I made these Sriracha Fridge Pickles with cauliflower and substituted honey for the sugar. SO DELICIOUS!!!
Is that recipe correct? 2 Cups sugar per 1 cup of Vinegar sounds like it'd be awfully sweet.

Dealer Review: A Letter to our General Manager
Honda of Concord
7650 Bruton Smith Blvd
Concord, NC 28027
It is my pleasure to commend you and your staff at Honda of Concord for your outstanding dealership.
We started our search for a new Honda CRV in our home state of Florida. After contacting seven dealerships in our area, we could not find the car we wanted at a reasonable price.
My wife remembered that we had our car serviced at your dealership when we were at the nascar races at Lowes Motor Speedway, and we remembered how nicely we were treated. So she suggested…

@thedude-abides yeah definitely sucks. I was really looking forward to see how it would do during the award season, but I guess we have no choice but to wait.
This will be amazing. Carell might actually get a nomination for this.

Dammit. Now they're talking about not releasing the film for a full year... I have complete faith in Miller, so I trust in his and SPC's decision; it just sucks for those of us who were really looking forward to seeing it.
12 months agoby @thedude-abidesFlag
@2movieguys Just when you find a good looking movie to look forward to seeing towards the end of the year, it gets pushed back just a few months more.
I too second that DAMN!!!

I'm with @m2; this has been my most anticipated film of 2013 for some months now. There isn't any way this will wind up outside of my top 3 by year's end.
And Carrell better receive a Best Actor/Supporting Actor nomination. Guy looks like a f*ckin' boss.

This looks Award Winning. Looks promising. As well as Inspiring. gives Channing another great film for him. I really do like him as a Actor. Steve Carrel and Mark Ruffalo are such talents. wan't to see this. Can't Wait.

Carell looks exceptional. Wish there was more of Ruffalo though. I also really give props to Tatum for the career decisions he has been making recently. The guy is on fire. Can't wait for the film.

Definition of Nigeria in English:
NigeriaLine breaks: Ni|geria
Pronunciation: /nʌɪˈdʒɪərɪə /
The site of highly developed kingdoms in the Middle Ages, the area came under British influence during the 19th century and was made into a single colony in 1914. Independence came in 1960 and the state became a federal republic in 1963, remaining a member of the Commonwealth. Oil was discovered in the 1960s and 1970s, since when Nigeria has emerged as one of the world's major exporters. The country was suspended from the Commonwealth 1995-9 following the execution of the writer and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa (b.1941) in 1995
- More example sentences
- The Nigerians had a big role in Taylor's rise to power a decade ago.
- And there is another reason why Nigerians are beaming with pride these days.

As well as earning money from the sales they personally generate, they also earn money from the sales of other people they have introduced to the company. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish legal and reputable MLMs from illegal pyramid or Ponzi schemes where more and more investors are recruited, putting their money into non-existent investments with the money being channelled to the people at the top of the pyramid. Eventually there isn't sufficient income to pay everyone the fantastic interest or dividend promised and the entire pyramid collapses.
A good friend of mine is starting up as a multi-level marketer. She asked for my opinion on the business idea, but I couldn't get excited about the cleaning products and health supplements the company offered. They seemed no better than those available at the supermarket and cost significantly more.
Multi-level marketing is a legitimate business don't get me wrong. You can make lots of money doing it if you're motivated. I noticed recently that wealth gurus Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump both recommend MLM businesses.
Where I do object to MLM from a business perspective, is that in many cases people who sell the product are encouraged or even required to spend hundreds of bucks a month buying product themselves. One I looked at required you to spend $200 a month on their products. This is how the company really makes its money its own sellers buy the majority of the product.
My objection is from a consumer's perspective. With so many people clicking the ticket along the way the goods are overpriced for what they are. It's as simple as that.
Much as I love Tupperware products, I think they're a total rip-off. And I don't believe that the average Kiwi needs to take health supplements every day of the year. If you're eating a good, well-rounded diet, supplements are unnecessary and a total waste of money. As far as cleaning products go, you can make your own for next to nothing.
Consumer magazine did a report about "super-juices" in December 2008. Two of its conclusions after testing MonaVie and other similar products were:
Views on MLM are polarised and I wouldn't be surprised if some of you stick pins into an effigy of me for writing this. But if I can save one person from spending $200 a month on unnecessary products then I'll be happy.
I did try to find some balanced articles on the Internet from reliable sources, including:
Or make up your own mind by checking out the many of millions of web pages that have discuss multi-level marketing.
Have your say: do you think multi-level marketing a scam?

Pediatric ADHD Insomnia Studies
for Pediatric; Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); Insomnia
- Recruit and then retain an even split of boys and girls, in two age groups: 6 – 11 years and 12 – 17 years for two studies. All recruitment must be targeted to the child's parents, with retention targeting both children and parents.
- A stratified campaign, supporting all sites with site-based materials and highly targeted eMarketing, with traditional offline marketing offered to 'performing' sites where appropriate. While the eMarketing campaign tapped into established channels, such as banner and keyword advertising, emerging channels such as Facebook advertising were also incorporated.
- A range of materials were developed to meet the three key retention objectives: educate parents (and children) about the condition, and what their involvement in the study entails; remind parents about study appointments; and reward children (and parents) for complying with the protocol and completing their study visits.
- eMarketing was by far the most cost-effective and productive outreach method, with Facebook providing over 40% of referrals alone, and banner advertising a further 39%. By monitoring the performance metrics on a daily basis, the eMarketing team was able to quickly adjust and adapt the tactics to maximize return on investment.
- Recruitment completed 2 months early for the first study, with the second study still enrolling. As both studies are still open, retention data are not yet available.

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of speaking to one of the bright, young stars on the NASCAR circuit Brad Keslowski from the Team Penske headquarters in Monroeville, North Carolina.
Brad raced from the pole position last week at the at the FedEx 400 at the Dover International Speedway and finished a strong second to Jimmie Johnson.
With the resources of Team Penske behind him, Brad is a solid contender for the Sprint Cup Championship. He talked about how his season is going so far...
We've had a great season so far. We were able to win at Las Vegas which pretty much locks our way into the NASCAR Sprint Cup chase, 2nd this last week at Dover which AH so close to winning again. I had a shot at winning the Daytona 500 so we've had a great season so far, very proud of everyone here at Team Penske and we just want to keep it rolling.
Brad finished a strong 3rd place at this year's Daytona 500 with Dale Earnhardt, Junior taking the checkered flag.
This Sunday Brad races at the Pocono Speedway followed by a race in Loudon, New Hampshire.
He feels his trip around the circuit will put him in contention for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
Yeah,you know we're having a great year and we think we can parlay that into a run for another championship. There's going to be a lot of stiff competition. There is every year, Jimmie Johnson has been strong, he won six of the last ten championships, then you have Kevin Harvick who's come on really strong as well, so you never really know who's the guy that's going to be the one to beat for the championship until the very end of the year but we think we're going to be one of them.
Over the years, Team Penske of which Brad is a member has won 15 Indy 500 races, including 4 alone by the legendary Rick Mears...
No dobut, thanks to drivers like Brad, this race team is at the top of its game in both Stock Car and Open Wheel racing.

Comments about the electronics making the difference are not really valid. It would only be fair to compare the car and bike firstly with all the driver aids switched off on both and then once more with them switched on again. Don't forget that driver/rider skill plays a part too.
I would like to see the same test with the Nissan GTR against a Hayabusa engined Radical. I expect the Nissan would lose that too which is precisely why Top Gear are so reluctant to run a Radical around their test Track.

If you've stumbled across this blog, hi!
I used to run a blog for a BBC Sherlock OC, the daughter of Sebastian and Jim –– Alexis Moran-Moriarty. However, things didn't work out in my favour, and due to some emotional burden with this blog, I've decided to shut it down. I'll be keeping this URL in case anyone's wondering where I've gone, at least until further notice.
If you'd still like to RP with me, under different muses, I'm currently active on a
blog, and I'm also running a blog for an MCU
Natasha Romanoff
Oh! An important note: if anyone would ever like this URL for RP, talk to me about it. I'd be happy to pass it along to someone who'll be using it well, and if you could make a note about where the original owner went, I'd appreciate it very much.
Thank you for stopping by!

Should governments consider human rights when granting preferential trading agreements to countries?
Many governments overlook human rights in trading agreements particularly the Preferential Trading Agreements.
Are there ways to enforce human rights in PTAs?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 19 2012: Absolutely. Governments should consider human rights when forming trade agreements.
Blunt force measures of "persuading" countries to show greater respect toward human rights have proven ineffective and often counter-productive. BUT, we cannot pretend that our moral obligations end at our borders when trading when with these nations enables such abuses. However, monetary gain is a powerful persuader. If we make it economically wise to respect human rights, then change will follow and (theoretically) everyone benefits.
Admittedly, this is a very general argument to a question which does not have a simple answer. The nature of the human rights violations and the effect of granting/withholding trade agreements with that nation must be taken into account. The point is we must stop to ask ourselves "would this agreement enable these abuses to continue?" and "would withholding this agreement likely have any effect for the better (long-term)?"

Birth Control Health Center
Modern Rhythm
Not for Everyone continued...
Some also may find it difficult to cope with the seven- to 10-day abstinence period when the woman is fertile. "Sexual spontaneity in this country is a big deal," says Pasos. "Many people don't want to think about birth control all the time."
And because this method offers no protection against sexually transmitted diseases (unlike, for example, condoms), it is not an acceptable choice for those with multiple sexual partners.
Still, many proponents of natural family planning find it easy to follow the routine once they get used to it. "The measurements you take every day are really easy," says Beth, a doctoral student at the University of California at Berkeley. She and her husband, Peter, who asked that their last name be withheld, started using natural family planning a year ago. "The temperature part is a piece of cake."
Best of all, she says, she has gained more control of her health and has become her body's best expert. "I'm actually proud of how much I know about my body now," says Beth. "I notice changes I'm going through every month. I know my fertility cycle. I feel more in touch with my body."

White and Black

They are sick boardshorts. I usually wear a 32 waist and these at 32 run just a tiny bit big. The white is semi-see through when it's wet like any white swim trunks but they dry fast. Expected maybe a little thicker material, but I don't have any worries about rips in them. The DC star ends up right on your left butt cheek, but overall these are great swim/board shorts. For 17 bucks, well worth it.
Cool Shorts

Member since
the design of these shorts is right on the money. While I don't like them as much as my Hurley Phantom's or my Quiksilver Cypher shorts (because the material on these is thicker and not as stretchy), these are still some of my favorite shorts. They do fit a bit small though, my size 34's fit like a 32.5. Luckily I am a size 32, so that means they fit fine. Be careful with sizing.

Sports Fan Insider
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) — Pirates' starter A.J. Burnett joined Seibel, Starkey and Miller on Sportsradio 93-7 The FAN to talk about the season he has been having.
Before getting to what A.J. has done this year, we had the Pirates' ace tell us about how he has taken James McDonald under his wing and helped him take the next step everyone has been waiting for from him.
We also got into the pressure Burnett felt in New York compared to Pittsburgh, and he said it was more a case of him putting too much pressure on himself and always trying to make the perfect pitch.
A.J. also told us what it was like getting traded from the Yankees to the Pirates, and how he embraced the situation since the Pirates represented a team that really wanted him.
We wrapped things up with A.J. having him discuss the lineup hitting behind him, and whether or not it gets frustrating with such little run support.

Washington, DC
Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Federal Trade Commission Member Maureen Ohlhausen said Tuesday at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. that her agency doesn't need additional authority to pursue concerns over consumer privacy online, citing a recent settlement with several companies over their spying software.
The Commissioner avoided weighing in on Europe's complaints over Google's tracking of users, but several reports online indicated that Google could be hit with antitrust case by the FTC before the end of the year.
Prior to joining the Commission in April 2012, Ohlhausen was a partner at Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP, where she focused on FTC issues. She previously served at the Commission for 11 years, most recently as Director of the Office of Policy Planning.
Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Harold Furchtgott-Roth moderated the discussion.

Guests Charles Evans Jr. and Victor DeNoble discuss the documentary film that chronicles DeNoble's unexpected discovery of an ingredient in tobacco which, the data revealed, when coupled with nicotine makes cigarettes more addictive. The research and the company's attempts to keep it private lead to Congressional testimony before a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The movie details how this public revelation of DeNoble's findings led journalists, politicians, attorneys and scientists to join forces against the tobacco industry, which ultimately resulted in the first ever federal regulation of the tobacco industry. Evans discusses how and why he went about making the film, which began when he first watched Dr. DeNoble's testimony on C-SPAN in 1994. DeNoble talks about growing up in New York, his early work at the Philip Morris Company and what it was like to testify before Congress on such a controversial subject.

[image description: a silly photo of Selena Garcia sticking her tongue out at the camera. a quote from her reads, "yes, it's hard being in here. but i'm gonna make it. i believe in us. jail isn't gonna slow me down nor stop me. they think it's gonna break me but i'm still going on… in here i am no longer selina marie garcia. i am #34! not a human being, but a caged animal with the number 148902 on my head." additional text reads, "selina garcia has been incarcerated for 3 weeks for allegedly breaking wake county student code of conduct. DSS won't pick her up from jail. tell the cops, the courts, and the schools to free her NOW to a home in Raleigh, where she can graduate at Southeast Raleigh High with her friends!" that are hashtags that reads, "not number 34" and "bring selina home."]
On March 7, 2014 Selina Garcia, a senior at Southeast Raleigh high school was suspended from school because of allegations that she committed level II infractions. Her administrator suspended her for 5 days, noting mitigating factors including prolonged and explicit harassment by the other student involved in the incident. However, the School Resource Officer, which are employed by Raleigh Police Department, decided that this wasn't enough – said that she needed to "learn a lesson," and so he arrested her and took her to jail. Despite the fact that she posed NO safety threat to the school environment, the officer made the conscious choice to criminalize her. He didn't care that she wanted to focus on graduating this Spring, and needed to be in school to accomplish that goal – all that mattered was asserting his dominance and "teaching her a lesson"
When the SRO arrested her, he likely thought that she would go to jail for a couple hours and then be picked up by her family. But, 19 days later and counting, there's no end in sight for her.

Cabin on a Lake with nice views
We stayed for the month of August on Autumn Lake and had a great time. The view from the cabin is beautiful and we made good use of the kayak and paddle boat while there. The cabin is not large and is probably more suitable for shorter stays, but Brian did everything he could to make our stay enjoyable, including installing a cabinet to hang clothes and various kitchen goodies my wife requested as well as adding lighting where needed.
This was truly home away from home!!!
We had a great time!! The cottage was beyond our expectations. Atmosphere was very friendly and relaxing. And everything was covered from toiletries to utensils. We will be back-glad we came across this great escape-close to everything with all the conveniences of home on site.
Our stay at Bella Vista in Orwell
We were only able to stay 3 days, but it was a lovely 3 days of peace and quiet, kayaking and swimming on the lake right outside the back door, and hiking at the Salmon River Falls. The cabin was very comfortable, well equipped and clean and Brian was easily reached, though we had no issues, so there was no need. Perfect pick if you're looking to relax in the country!! Big :-). We will definitely be back.

Sylvia Rivera's 1973 Christopher Street Liberation Day Rally Speech
[trigger warning for transphobia, racism, rape, police brutality, and general violence]
This is 1973 video of Sylvia Rivera speaking at the Christopher Street Liberation Day Rally, where she literally had to fight her way to the stage, past a crowd of transphobes and racists who tried to silence her. When Sylvia finally gets to the stage, she looks at the audience, grabs the mic, and shouts, "Y'all better quiet down!". Sylvia immediately starts denouncing the gay community for ignoring the struggles outside the cis-white-gay spectrum. This video is amazing.

- About Ateneum
The first ever Finnish print, Flower of Death (1895) by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, was donated to Ateneum by the artist himself soon after printing. From the year 1900, the museum began acquiring works by the pioneers of Finnish printmaking. Today the museum collection includes just about perfect sets of Gallen-Kallela's, Albert Edelfelt's and Hugo Simberg's graphic works.
The second and third decades of the 20th century were a period of few acquisitions, but the 1930s saw a boom of Finnish printmaking, and this was also reflected in the growing number of prints purchased. From the 1950s, Finnish prints began making up a considerable part of the museum's yearly acquisitions.
The latest notable additions to the collection have been donations. In 2001 the museum received the whole life's work of printmaker Aune Mikkonen, donated by the artist herself. In 2003 the estate of Helmi Kuusi donated around a hundred prints and over two hundred sketchbooks. Works of printmaker Lea Ignatius were also donated to Ateneum following an exhibition of her work in 2003. A significant addition to the collection of modern European prints was the donation of the Ester and Jalo Sihtola Fine Arts Foundation in 2001, while the donation of the Rolando and Siv Pieraccini collection in 2008 has international significance with its over 600 examples of Italian 20th-century printmaking.
Artists featured in Ateneum's collection of prints include Lauri Ahlgrén, Tuomas von Boehm, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Ina Colliander, Albert Edelfelt, James Ensor, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Paul Gauguin, Simo Hannula, Pentti Kaskipuro, Pentti Lumikangas, Henri Matisse, Ernst Mether-Borgström, Edvard Munch, Teuvo-Pentti Pakkala, Pablo Picasso, Tuulikki Pietilä, Ulla Rantanen, Hugo Simberg, Ellen Thesleff, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Eduard Wiiralt.
The Collections web service of the Finnish National Gallery provides basic information on the works and artists in Ateneum's collection of prints.

Off-Season Analysis: The Defense
George Prax | Aug 16, 2010 | Comments 2
Breaking: According to the team, the Montreal Canadiens have traded AHL goaltender Cedrick Desjardins to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for goaltender Karri Ramo. Ramo, a 24-year-old native of Finland who has played 48 NHL games since 2007, played for the Omsk Avangard of the KHL this past season, and has one more year left on his Russian contract. The 6th round pick of the Lightning in 2004 has never put up stellar numbers at the pro level, but recently broke out in Russia, where he was amongst the league's best goaltenders.
The Canadiens, in turn, lose a solid, underrated, and undrafted 25 year old goaltender from New Brunswick who helped the Canadiens' farm team, the Hamilton Bulldogs, reach the AHL's conference finals this past season and proved to be one of the best goaltenders in that league.
Both will probably never rise to be anything more than back-up goaltenders, maybe 1Bs with some desperate team. But from the Canadiens' perspective, the deal is somewhat baffling. With Carey Price still unsigned, and no proof that Ramo will return to North America this season, the move leaves the Canadiens some thin at the goaltending position. Curtis Sanford becomes the number one goaltender in Hamilt0n, and prospect Robert Mayer will likely back him up to start the season. Alex Auld is the only NHL goaltender signed.
Canadiens fans might not be unjustified in starting to get worried about Price's contract situation, less than one month before training camp.
But more on that when we look at goaltending next week.
Over the last couple of weeks, we've taken an in-depth look at the forwards of the Montreal Canadiens, coming out of last season and heading into the next.
First, we looked at the top-six forwards, ranking the Canadiens top 2 lines and looking at what they might look like come October. The answer, interesting enough, was that they would look exactly the same as they did last season and during the playoffs.
Next, we looked at the "best of the rest" of the forwards, meaning the 3rd and 4th lines, the extras, and anyone who might stand a chance of getting called up this upcoming season. In this case, the two forward lines that will make up the depth of the team next month actually looked fairly different from the group that started the season for the Canadiens in 2009.
And with the forwards out of the way, we move on to the defensemen. The group of 7 that will start the season for the Canadiens is pretty much set in stone, and has been since the Habs' miracle run to the Eastern Conference Finals.
If you ask me, Jaroslav Halak was not the main reason the Montreal Canadiens were one of the final 4 teams in the NHL this past May. While his performance obviously saved the Canadiens from defeat and embarrassment many a time, I firmly believe that Halak could not have accomplished what he did if it wasn't for the 8 defensemen that saw time on the blue line in April and May. From blocking shots, to contributing to the offense and simply being there for Halak and the team, the defense of the Montreal Canadiens is what defined this team in their achievements since the season closed out.
There are two defensemen that won't be returning to the Canadiens this next season:
Marc-André Bergeron was signed as a depth player and powerplay specialist in October, after Andrei Markov succumbed to a severed tendon, thanks to a skate to the ankle. Obviously, no one was expecting Bergeron to replace Markov or be nearly as good as the Canadiens' star defenseman, but you can't say that Bergeron didn't do what was asked or expected of him from the very beginning. Bergeron led all Canadiens defensemen with 13 goals (7 powerplay goals) and 34 points in 60 games. He was a -7 on the season, but if you thought that defense was Bergeron's strong point, then I really don't know what to tell you. Bergeron slowed down in the playoffs, contributing only 2 goals and 6 points in 19 games, and a somewhat disastrous -12, considering the 16 1/2 minutes of average ice time he was getting.
We found out after the playoffs that Bergeron was playing with a fairly severe knee injury. Moreover, it's pretty clear that Bergeron was being stretched a little thin by the coaching staff, but that shouldn't be considered his fault. Considering how known deficiencies on the back-end, and what was expected of him when he was signed, you can't really ask for much more from a player such as Bergeron. With the emergence of PK Subban, he is no longer needed on the team, but he gets a B+ for what he accomplished in his role as essentially a depth defenseman.
2009-10 Grade: B+
Paul Mara was signed in the off-season of 2009 to be a big body for the Canadiens as a 5th-6th defenseman, one who can pitch in offensively. But 8 assists, no goals and a -16 later, Habs fans quickly forgot about Paul Mara after playing just 42 games with the Canadiens, and missing the rest with a severe shoulder injury. He did come back to accompany the team during the playoffs, even though he couldn't play, which saves him from a failing grade. But otherwise, there's no way to describe Paul Mara other than a faile experiment.
2009-10 Grade: D
If you forget about Marc-André Bergeron and Paul Mara – and I don't think many Habs fans will lose any sleep over their departure – the defense for the Montreal Canadiens should look fairly familiar come October 7th in Toronto.
Rating and ranking the seven defensemen that played for the Canadiens last season and will play for the Canadiens this upcoming season was a difficult task. While nearly all of those shined at various intervals during the season and, of course, the playoffs, the corps suffered many injuries and slumps that might make ranking one over another somewhat controversial.
Still, when looking at these rankings, and these grades, think about the roles asked of each of these players, their consistency in said roles, the amount of games they played and the effect their presence had on the team. Unlike forwards, you can't rank defenseman based mostly on offensive production. That being said, I present to you the Montreal Canadiens defense, ranked 1 through 7!
Playoffs: 19GP – 0G – 2A – 2PTS – -4
2009-10 Season: Josh Gorges was the rock on the Canadiens blue line this past season. He played all 82 games of the regular season, and 19 of the playoffs. He didn't even miss a game after he was knocked out by a puck to the helmet in February. Gorges obviously isn't a scoring machine, and with the additions of Bergeron and even Jaroslav Spacek, his offensive production fell by more than half of his career best 23 points from the year before, but it doesn't matter. Whenever the Canadiens needed him, Gorges was there, ready to defend the blue line, head teammates, and to lead the team into the playoffs with his courage and determination.
The stats that puts him ahead of the pack? The 55 blocked shots that put him in second place on the team in the playoffs, behind Hal Gill (158 to lead the team in the regular season). The fact that he only gave up the puck 3 times. The 25 hits that weren't the most on the team, but were well placed and effective for a player of his size and style. And the consistent 20 to 22 minutes a game he'll give you every night.
Josh Gorges will never lead your team in any stat. He will never be a superstar in any regard. But he is a tremendous leader, one who leads by example, grit, determination and consistency, and a player who is invaluable to the Montreal Canadiens, no matter what the stat say. He is this team's unsung hero, and gets the top stop on this year's ranking of defensemen.
2009-10 Grade: A. Can you tell that I'm infatuated with this player? In case you didn't know it yet, readthis article on who I think should be the Canadiens' captain. In any case, Gorges gets the top spot, for his consistency, his toughness and his determination and leadership, qualities that are often looked over when it comes to pro athletes, thanks to the magic of statistics.
2010-11 Expectations: Keep doing what you're doing. Oh, and to make room on your jersey for a big "C" to be sewn on.
Playoffs: 18GP – 0G – 1A – 1PTS – -3
2009-10 Season: Ok, admittedly, I might lose some people here. But keep in mind what the requirements are. Determination. Grit. Consistency. Toughness. There aren't many players who fit this mold better than Hal Gill. There aren't many players who have overcome bigger odds to make it in the NHL. Hal Gill has been called many things over his NHL career, including dumb, clumsy, and traffic cone. But this past season, the big 6'7″, 250lbs 35-year-old proved once again why he continues to be a sought after player in the NHL.
Gill suffered two major injuries this past season. A broken foot that kept him out of the line-up for 14 games late in 2009, and a cut to the back of his leg in the playoffs. Despite taking 50 stitches to a fairly sensitive place on his body, Gill missed just 1 game, and knowing him, he would have probably played the game if they had let him. These injuries did not hold Gill back from doing what he does best. His 68 blocked shots put him at the top of the team, and despite his injury, the 150 shots he blocked during the season was the best per-game on the team as well. His 11 points and -10 plus/minus put his season in amongst his worst in his career, in terms of offense, but offense is the last thing that was asked of him by coach Jacques Martin.
In the end, Gill delivered on his $2.25 million in different ways than other players would, but he proved a lot of naysayers and skeptics and earned his spot with hard work, toughness and a never-give-up attitude. For this, he earns spot number 2 on our rankings.
2009-10 Grade: B+. Complaining about Hal Gill's performance this past season, and especially in the playoffs, would be totally unfair to him and to the team. Everyone knew what he was capable of, what he had done in the past, and in my opinion, Hal Gill delivered on those expectations, and in fact exceeded them, turning into a shot blocking machine when the Canadiens couldn't keep the puck out of their own zone during the playoffs.
2010-11 Expectations: To expect him not to be injured or really exceed what he did last season would be unfair. At 35 years old, and considering the way he plays, Gill is probably in the twilight of his career. However, if he continues blocking shots, if he continues mentoring Josh Gorges, and if his ice time continues to be capped at under 20 minutes a game for the most part, Hal Gill should have no trouble satisfying fans. The only thing that could be asked of him is to reduce the number of giveaways, and to try and stay out of the box.
Playoffs: 8GP – 0G – 4A – 4PTS – -3
2009-10 Season: It's tough to hurt a player's rating based on injury. But considering Markov's topsy-turvy season, what he's been through and what he's put the team through, it,s hard to put him ahead of other players, even considering what he does for the team when he's healthy. Frankly, placing 3rd on the team may even be slightly generous. But the truth is that when Andrei Markov is healthy, he's one of the best defensemen in the NHL. When Andrei Markov is healthy, the team wins more. He's unquestionably the on-ice leader of this team, and the closest thing to a star player the Canadiens have had in years.
But the severed tendon he suffered in the first game of the season, and the torn knee ligament he suffered in the playoffs should definitely be a cause for concern for Canadiens fans. Add that to yet another knee injury at the end of the 2008-09 season, and Habs fans will definitely be pulling at their own collars for Markov news as the season approaches.
In any case, Markov's offensive and defensive contributions, when he's healthy, speak for themselves. His 34 points still managed to tie him for the lead in points by a defenseman this past season, and, again, when he was healthy, this team had an easier time winning.
2009-10 Grade: B. Markov is unquestionably the best defenseman the Canadiens have. But questions of his health and his ability to play a full season have to come into play here. He still remains at a very generous B rating, but one that may have to include an asterisk.
2010-11 Expectations: No one knows when Markov will be ready to play. The severity of the injury he suffered in the playoffs pretty much rules out a return for the beginning of the season, but don't be surprised to see Markov return in November, or early December, and play 50-60 games for the Canadiens. He also has a contract to earn for the season after this one, so if he hasn't been signed before he returns, expect him to step it up even more, to add as many dollars as he can on his new contract. Assuming he manages to come back for 60 games and stays healthy, 10 goals and 40 assists should be the expectation for Andrei Markov.
On a side note, don't forget to read this great piece on Markov by our good friend Kyle Roussel!
4. P.K. Subban
Playoffs: 14GP – 1G – 7A – 8PTS – +2
2009-10 Season: The best way to describe Habs fans attitude towards PK Subban is "hesitant enthusiasm". While only playing 2 regular season games for the Habs late this past season, Subban had an immediate impact on the team, putting up 2 assists and electrifying fans with his incredible speed and energy. It was no different in the playoffs, where Subban's unusually calm attitude made Canadiens' fans nearly forget about Andrei Markov's injury.
Subban finished the playoffs with 1 goal (his first NHL goal) and 7 assists, second behind Roman Hamrlik for the lead amongst defenseman. He also led the entire team in +/- in the playoffs, and was the source of much attention from the opposition when he was on the ice.
To say that PK Subban had an impact on the team may even be an understatement. But considering this team's treatment of rookies and young players in the past, Canadiens fans have remained tempered towards Subban, and await to see what he can do over the course of a full NHL season. Still, for his immediate contribution to the team, his attitude and modesty, Subban receives a B to tie with Andrei Markov and take 4th place.
2009-10 Grade: B.
2010-11 Expectations: Subban will start the season on the team, probably on a duo with either Roman Hamrlik or Jaroslav Spacek. We can only hope that he will remain with the team the entire season and lead all defensemen in points with 10-15 goals and 40-50 assists. Maybe these expectations are a little high, but frankly, he's brought it on himself. Just be happy I didn't put "Calder Trophy" as an expectation.
Playoffs: 19GP – 0G – 9A – 9PTS – -1
2009-10 Season: Roman Hamrlik has always had a love-hate relationship with Habs fans, since his arrival in the city three years ago. To me, his work has always been underrated. While he's no longer been able to put up some of the offensive numbers he used to, he's held up rather fine at a fairly advanced age for a hockey player, he's been fairly consistent in being this team's go-to guy when injuries or slumps required him to step up.
This season, he was only slightly behind Andrei Markov in ice time per game, and while he pretty much had one of his worst seasons in terms of production, without Roman Hamrlik, this team does not make the playoffs. He, along with Jaroslav Spacek, kept this team afloat during Andrei Markov's absence, and despite a fair amount of stupid delay-of-game penalties and turnovers, they did the same in the playoffs.
I'm a supporter of Roman Hamrlik, and although his contract status at $5.6 million a year, his age and some of the lost defensive prowess push him down to 5th in the rankings, he still has the ability to be this team's #1 defensemen, when the people that are supposed to be in that position are injured.
2009-10 Grade: B-.
2010-11 Expectations: About the same offensive production, maybe an extra 10 points if he's paired with PK Subban for a large portion of the season. Hamrlik's role needs to turn into that of a teacher, a mentor, in the last year of his contract. If he can have a positive effect on PK Subban and/or Ryan O'Byrne, I can see Pierre Gauthier bringing him back in 2011-12 at a highly reduced salary.
Playoffs: 10GP – 1G – 3A – 4PTS – -2
2009-10 Season: When Jaroslav Spacek was signed to a 3 year deal by Bob Gainey, the expectation was that Spacek would become the team's powerplay specialist. The result, unfortunately, was one of Spacek's worst years, offensively. But what he lost in terms of offense, he managed to make up in defense. As mentioned above with Roman Hamrlik, Spacek's heroics in Markov's absence, and in the 10 games he played in the playoffs (he missed 9 with a very odd inner-ear infection), Spacek and the Canadiens' season was saved.
He played a bigger role in this team's success than he will be given credit for, and his grade just has to be reduced based on his lack of production, but he definitely deserves some credit for really a surprising defensive performance in this past season.
2009-10 Grade: C.
2010-11 Expectations: With Markov nearly guaranteed to miss the start of the season, Subban in a rookie year, and Roman Hamrlik receding offensively, Spacek simply has to step it up and put up more points. 40 points, however he gets to him, is the minimum.
Playoffs: 13GP – 0G – 0A – 0PTS – +1
2009-10 Season: I almost feel bad ranking Ryan O'Byrne 7th amongst defensemen. But the truth is, this past year, he was just that, a 7th defenseman. The 6'5″ 230 pounder was supposed to break out this year, and after Andrei Markov suffered his injury in the first game, he was all set up to get his shot. But surprise, surprise, in game 2 of the regular season, he suffered a knee injury that would keep him out for nearly 20 games. Add another 7 missed games due to personal reasons, and O'Byrne never really found his stride on the team, falling out of favor with the coach.
He still managed to provide 119 hits in 55 games in the season, and 32 in 13 playoff games to lead all defensemen in both instances, but for some reason, the coach just seemed to prefer other players, even in a 6th spot. O'Byrne definitely benefited from other injuries, drawing into the line-up more often than he would if the team was healthy, but with the depth at defense heading into next season, O'Byrne future as a Canadien might be in jeopardy.
2009-10 Grade: C-.
2010-11 Expectations: O'Byrne has to find a way to keep himself in the line-up. Hit, block shots, fight, even try and put up some points if he has to. He'll likely draw in on Game 1 thanks, again, to Andrei Markov's injury, but if the group is healthy when Markov returns, he'll be the first to find himself in the press box. A pace of 3 hits per game, a fight every few games and 2 or 3 blocked shots of game might be what it takes for O'Byrne to stay with the team.
The Canadiens are kind of thin on defensive prospects, at least in terms of who could see action with the team this season. David Fischer is officially done with the team. Jarred Tinordi's development recently promised to speed up with his move to the London Knights, but he won't see pro action this season. Mac Bennett is still at university and Alexei Emelin may never come to North America.
What's left for the Canadiens if someone (else) gets injured?
- Alexandre Picard Will be the first call-up, that is, if he doesn't stay with the team out of training camp. While Sens fans don't have much to say about the namesake of a certain Starfleet captain, Picard brings to the Canadiens nearly 200 games of pro experience, secondary scoring ability. Plus, he can't be as bad in his own zone as Bergeron.
- Expect Yannick Weber to continue his Hamilton / Press Box duties this season.
- Every year, it seems like we're talking about Mathieu Carle's last chance with the Canadiens, and every season it seems like something comes in the way of him getting the shot. This year, he's low on the depth chart and probably won't get called up unless he has an incredible start in Hamilton or the Canadiens suffer more than a few injuries.
- Alex Henry returns to Hamilton in his defensive – captaincy duties, and might see another game or two with the big club if needed.
Other than that, that's pretty much it folks. Habs fans can only hope the team can stay relatively healthy on the back-end, but with 3 defensemen over 35, one who's suffered 3 lower body injuries in the last calendar year, and another two young defensemen who can't be guaranteed to have good years, there could be a lot of cringing for Habs fans during this upcoming season.
Still, as it stands, a healthy Montreal Canadiens defense corps doesn't look half bad:
Spacek (Markov) – Subban
Gill – Gorges
Hamrlik – O'Byrne (Spacek)
Picard (O'Byrne)
In the next few days, we'll take a look at the Canadiens goaltending (if any), and close it out with a nice little chat about coaching and management.
Until then, please leave your comments, grades and rankings!
