LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - All of the water Mother Nature dropped on the Hub City has forced the City of Lubbock to close several streets that are not safe for drivers to try to pass through.
City officials say the streets are designed for water to flow to the nearly 100 playa lakes across town and that they are doing the job to keep up with the rain as it falls, but more moisture could pose a problem.
"I think we are okay with another inch but if it continues we could start seeing more problems with some of the lakes," says Marsha Reed, Chief Operations Officer for the City of Lubbock.
The city says Lake Higginbotham at 19th and Vicksburg is over-flowing, and the water is moving all the way to Maxey Park at 24th and Quaker.
"The city does allow water on the streets because we are so very flat as developments occur we allow water to get 12 inches above top curb that makes it 18 inches at the gutter for people need to be careful" said Reed.
The weather has forced the city to shut down several streets.

Sample of my writing:
Demolition Lovers One Shot based on the song by My Chemical Romance
And like the cracked mirror in my old life at home, everything shattered. I held Tristan at my side, her body tense, flat against the wall as bullets cried passed us. I tried to hold my breath; count the burning seconds that dropped down to one, telling us, begging us, to just give up already. They had us cornered, the cops, I mean, trapping us back up against a wall as they waited, daring us to turn the corner so they could take us away; cut our hair, dress us up, gag and bore us. 'Yeah, in Hell', I sneered to myself, almost smirking in real life. But only one thought could settle deep in my skull, the beating, breathing pain crying out to me, 'What about Tristan?'
What about Tristan? I was so lost in the moment, the excitement of barely getting away after each heist, I forgot to stop and think. I forgot the aftermath of the whole situation, I forgot to think about her and not myself, I forgot the possibility that if I went down; she'd go down, too. Maybe she can escape? Can she run off without me, cope without me? 'She could, since obviously the cops can't tell a child from a pedophile' I tried to let the humor settle in my head, but nothing could wash away what was right in front of me.
"Gee," She trembled, my nickname barely making its way off her tongue. "I... I think they're gonna---"
I cut her off with a finger on her lips, "No one likes a spoiler," I forced a laugh passed my pursed lips, knowing that humor was the last thing we needed, but I needed it. To let her know I was still there, still the anonymous color I always have been, running jokes and laughing any time I had the chance. But now wasn't the time. And I wasn't in the mood for a smile. Not a laugh. Not a joke or a snapped conversation to divert the situation we were in.
Just drowning in a hail of bullets. What I needed-what WE needed was a miracle, but there was nothing left. No hope, no glowing embers in the fireplace or that last spark of belief, no scarecrow to fuel the flame. It was gone.
"You're so funny," She tried a laugh, too, but it only choked, like a secret caught in your throat. All she could manage was a little less than a half-hearted smile.
I tuned everything out, everything but her, and I fought myself for words, my famous last words still breaking at the lips, spilling out into a crushed sentence. What I was saying, is what I was saying. And what I was saying, I didn't even know.
"Tristan, I promise you, we're gonna make it out of this. Me and you, we can run away together, we can find a new place, we can change our names, we can change our ways, we can-we can-" I felt the tears that stung my eyes, mixing with the hazel that was held within them, and I looked over at her, watching as her smile was almost convincing.
"Gerard," She started, "I don't want to run away. I don't want to pretend this never happened, I don't want you to change and I know you feel the same, I like you the way you are, I like the way you make me smile and laugh when God knows the situation, I love the way you jump into the thrill instead of dodging for safety. I love you. And I would end my days with you, in a rain of daggers, or a flood of bombs, a hail of bullets; as long as it's with you." She gripped the gun in her left hand, and her right one pulled out of mine, she watched me with her icy blues, her being herself was a miracle, as if snow on desert skies. I had no idea what she was doing until it was too late, time stopped, and I could no longer move.
I watched as her hands pushed me back, and she whipped passed me, rounding the corner and breaking out into open fire. I tried to manage words, as if words could possibly stop a bullet, as if words could save a life. As if I myself could save a bloody life. Her name screamed from my throat as I watched scarlet erupt from her skin; the first shot was enough to cast me into flames, but it just kept coming. And once she had collapsed, I was already at her side, shaking her violently as I waited for her eyes to open. They didn't.
"TRISTAN! TRISTAN! WAKE UP. PLEASE, TRISTAN! WAKE UP!!!" I almost screamed, the gunshots stopped for only a second as they watched me erupt into flames of despair. Fatality was washed up on the shore, reaching its next victim.
I repeated myself, almost sounding angry as I demanded she wake up, demanding she stopped playing possum; perhaps they just knocked her out? Maybe she was just asleep? Did she hit her head too hard? All the possibilities imploding inside my mind, the way each one quaked with hope as if perhaps it could be true, that just maybe, in some way, Tristan was still alive. But she wasn't.
I couldn't believe that after everything we've put each other through, after everything we've proven, how long we've kept running, how many times I've told her how much she meant; it came to the end, in this pool of blood. I leaned down, my tears washing with her blood as I kissed her lips, coming to the realization that all we were were bullets. And this time I mean it. We're just bullets, a tool for this bloody gun, weapons, defense, a toy. I just can't believe...
We once told ourselves that we'd show them all, we'd show them all how much we meant. And like a bed of roses, there's a dozen reasons in my gun, in their guns, and we're falling. Falling as I break the kiss, and there's a buzzing sting in the back of my head, not knowing whether it was because of a faint headache that was coming on from all the crying I'd done, or because I had been shot. My hand moved to the back of my head, to me it felt like I was moving slowly, almost calm as if I was saying, "It's only a shot to the back of the head... what could be worse?" but really I moved faster than I ever had, and when my vision gained on my hand, I realized it was my own blood that rested there. My stare grew dull, as I threw my last glance at Tristan, barely throwing her limp body a smirk before collapsing next to her. And we rested there, falling, forever. We rested there, in this pool of blood, forever.
The days faded, and nights grow, and we grow cold.

These can't be the same guys that got swept in the most embarrassing fashion in the 2009-2010 playoffs, can they?
The Atlanta Hawks made dubious history in last season's playoffs, losing to the Orlando Magic by a record number of averaged points. The only way they could do worse is to make history again, by giving up a 3 games-t0-1 lead to the Magic in this year's first round series. NBA history is on the Hawks' side, and unless Dwight Howard's supporting cast decides to don a collective set of capes, the Hawks will drive on to round 2 of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs.
Half Empty, Half Full
Most folks didn't give the Hawks much of a chance against the Magic in this series, but now some quickly changed their tune, even before last night's win. But what do the fans think of all of this? Did the Hawks fool us all season long into believing that they are less than they truly are? Have they reached their potential? Or is Orlando truly that bad, despite the dominating performance of Dwight Howard? Just how accurate our incredulity is, is a testament to how confusing this team can be. After losing the final six games of the season, there was little hope that the Hawks would come into this series with their heads held high, and a major chip on their shoulders. The Hawks haven't just gotten the matchup with Orlando down pat, they've even figured out how to press the advantages they have.
On the other hand, this past season (and offseason) saw Orlando make some big roster moves to try and get over the hump and back into the Eastern Conference Finals. Perhaps it's unseemly to give the opponent more discredit than to give the home team credit, but rest assured of one thing – if the Hawks cruise into the second round of the playoffs and suffer a beating, every headline about THIS series will read about the fall of the Magic and NOT the rise of the Hawks.
Glass half empty…or half full?
Difference Makers
On the defensive side, the differences between this year's team and last year's is at the center and point guard positions. With Jason Collins spending 6 fouls and roughly 18 minutes getting under Howard's skin, the Hawks finally put themselves in position to defend the monstrous center one-on-one, and no longer subjecting them to futile run-outs at wide open shooters. At the top of the key, guard Kirk Hinrich holds his own, successful or not (Jameer Nelson has been scoring pretty well of late), once again, eliminating the frantic and ineffective help defense of the past.
But for my money, the biggest difference makers in this series are Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford. Both guys stunk up the joint last postseason, scoring below their season averages and not shooting well enough to be a threat to anybody serious. This year has been a different situation altogether. Not only is the high scoring backcourt duo playing well, they've both stepped up their games in regard to field goal percentage and attack effectiveness. Facts are facts, and the team's two best scorers allow the Hawks to have a balanced attack, which has been just enough to beat the Magic's two man game.
One more win, and the Hawks prove that they've passed the Orlando Magic litmus test. But is it enough? Are the Hawks truly better than we thought they were, or are they just better than the Magic now?

well br didnt think they were up for the challenge and they are proving me wrong. it is also the magic are a much worse team than they were last year as much as we are better. like the effort. if that continues them we may be golden. just the same they have to respect their own possessions better if they go to the next series, then they have to prove they wont be blown out in that round as much as by the magic. that is the true monkey on their back not the magic who are a shadow of what they were.

Good stuff Ray. Without a doubt the Magic are nowhere close to the Magic of last year. It's far more that aspect as opposed to the Hawks being better. TNT consistently pointed out bad plays by the Hawks, immediately following a poor play by the Magic, thereby not taking advantage of a chance to stretch an 8 point lead to a 16 point lead. Sure enough the Magic were right there in the end. Playing that way we will be forunate to win one game against the Bulls.

The Magic are as much of a mess as we thought our Hawks were. However, the Hawks have actually manned up and should be celebrating a sweep if not for that dude on the sideline.
The one thing that scares me though; the better these guys perform in the post season, the less likely needed changes are coming. I'm not rooting for the Hawks to lose but we all know how comfortable our ownership and GM seem to get at the least sign of success.
Let's finish these guys out in 5 and then we can see what these guys are really made of next round.

If the hawks are going to make some noise in the second round, Joe got to step up and give me a superstar stat line for a change. Jamal Crawford seems to be the go to guy.
Joe…. I want my Kobe night. 120 million means putting the team on your back. I want my money. But in reality, I ain't hating on you. Let's blame management for the lack of sound judgemental decisions in negoitiating that overpaid contract.
Good luck in the playoffs. It's time to step up.
April 25th, 2011

I think it's more an issue of continuity than talent. Especially in the playoffs, where the game is much more focused on team defense and execution.
Look at the teams that made the playoffs after a significant mid-season trade, specifically Orlando, New York and Denver. None of these teams are doing well right now, and that's as much a function of team chemistry than anything else. I honestly expected Denver to be much better than they've shown so far, but Oklahoma City has just found the little chinks in their armor to take control of their series.
Much the same is true in the Atlanta/Orlando series. It's not that the Hawks are playing their best basketball of the season — it's more like the Hawks are playing the same game in the playoffs that they've played all season. Not to mention, that the core of this team is pretty stable as far as franchises go in the NBA. Come playoff time, that helps more than you know.
Anyway, a number of analysts thought that the Hawks would have a good chance to win this series before it started. It's not like we were playing from a talent deficit, but folks wondered if this team would ever stop shooting itself in the foot and aim it's weapons at the other team instead. So far in this series, it's been more of a case of us not hurting ourselves — and Orlando being the team that's struggling to not shoot itself in the foot.

The second round is going to show us really who we are. We know how to beat the Magic and have a set philosophy and plan against them. I'm worried that once we play a team (Bulls) that we do not know as well, they will revert back to their old sporadic ways.
April 25th, 2011
9:25 am
TRADE JOSH SMITH! He will never play to his full potential as a Hawk! He has the talent to be a superman in the NBA but his half a$$ play is part of the reason teams are allowed to get themselves back into these games. Trade him now while he's still worth something!
April 25th, 2011

Sorry, I don't know how to react to the Hawks being up 3-1 in a playoff series… this is uncharted territory for me.
No doubt that Jamal and Joe are glad that Petrius & Vince are no longer in a Magic uniform. I know there's been plenty of talk about Gortat's absence, but I recall those wing players giving our SG-tandem fits. Joe has gotten off early in the last few games and Jamal has been a terrific finisher. Orlando doesn't seem capable of guarding both of them so they have to "pick their poison".
LD has to take a fair amount of credit as well. The players are focused now that they are in the playoffs so a lot of LD's weaknesses (getting players to execute the game plan) are hidden. Likewise, his game plan has been very solid (other than the 2-foul debacle in Game 2). Te new wrinkle of the JOe/Jamal pick and roll was a very nice set, even if the execution wasn't always perfect. He trusted Hilton last night when I was screaming for Etan and Hilton played about as well as anyone could ever ask. His continued fascination with watching Powell get abused by Dwight is annoying, but I guess we can't ask for perfection from our first-year head coach.
On a completely different note, it was good to see Arenas have a flashback to his old days. He must look at what Jamal is doing in this series and think "that used to be me".

First and foremost, GREAT WIN!!!
They consistantly made plays to help Orlando, but consistantly came back and made plays to help themselves. Orlando definitely got tight and started missing open shots, but they were tight because they knew the HAWKS could score on any possession.
Ray, clearly Orlando isn't the same team without Lewis, especially against us. I think we're better, but we haven't come close to our potential. We're still a team that goes 2 good possessions and then 4 bad possessions. We're learning though and I like the fact that we're learning at the end of games when it matters. Joe hitting 4 in a row from the line, was hugh for the team because it let Orlando know they we're going to have to make a tough deep 3 just to TIE the game! The biggest play of the game to me was the late layup by Horford to put us up by 5. Jamal had just hit a 3, we got a stop, and instead of taking a contested 3 Jamal ran the screen and roll and hit Horford going to the basket. Dwight had to over play Jamal which left Horford with only small players to shoot over. I think we've found at least to different good alternatives to ISO Jamal or JJ at the end of games. JJ, Jamal screen and roll or Jamal, Horford screen and roll. I think the guys have a good feel for those plays and naturally can execute them effectively. Joe got stripped by Jameer on one screen and roll but I'm sure next time he will do a better job of get his shot off. (besides Jameer fouled him on that play)
I don't know if we will win this series, Orlando clearly can win 3 in a row against us. But I'm encouraged because we haven't played great for longer than 8 min stretches and given up first half leads the last two games, but still have found a way to win.

The regular season matters…Hawks
Talent matters….Hawks
Focus matters….Hawks
Discipline matters…..Maybe
The Hawks did not take off one minute all season against the Magic and this is just a continuation of those games. I knew they would win this series and make it to the 2nd round.
April 25th, 2011
10:21 am
Stop the fastbreak, it is killing us.
The Hawks are too undisciplined to be an uptempo team. If you watch the game last night the Hawks gave up the lead trying to run. They have been executing their offense very well, so they should stay in the half court and beat-up the Magic.
April 25th, 2011

After the season we just suffered through we are now being teased with this playoff run. I am enjoying the ride while it lasts. The difference between last year's playoff debacle and this years performance is when the magic make a run we are not quitting. But it feels like we have yet to play a complete focused game, and we are always on the verge of the familiar collapse. We only need 2 more wins to exceed expectations, which proves how our expectations have fallen. Have we given up on this team? Have we given up hope of winning and will now accept losing with pride? I am so tired of hearing about last years 101 point combined loss total. This team has the talent to become a powerhouse in this league, we just need to learn how to play up to that potential. But winning teams don't talk about potential they talk about winning. "Potential" is just another way of saying loser.

You watch Josh Smith play basketball because I can't stand to watch. I find his wasted athleticism so disappointing and his game appalling. I think, given the choice, he would rather fill his own stats than have his team win.

The reason we are not getting whooped right know has nothing to do with ld or the Hawks improvement. Nor does it have anything to do with the fact that the Magic are missing v.carter, r.lewis, m. pietrus, m.barnes. and m. gortat(all of whom are over 6′6 and m. barnes and pietrus would have shut that j. crawford and j. johnson iso BS down!) I know because you see crawford and joe in that order domimate jj. redick 6′4 and jameer nelson 5′10 you get excited, don't fall for it. The only reason we won last night was because that idiot on the other bench took Gilbert out after he made the Hawks d look like crap, and tied the game up, only to put him back in after the magic go dwn by 6 with like 3 min left. Don't fall for it. And for all yall Teague haters, yall really must not understand B-ball.

You know at this point even if the hawks advance to ECF to face Boston(which would be cool). I don't think I'm ready to praise them again like before. It might be me being a hater as most would say, but I say no it's me just tired of the way the hawks are run.
Still their up 3-1 don't make it a 3-4 in the next few days. I still say Chicago is going to eat our lunch horribly.

The Hawks have not played well overall. Orlando can't buy a shot from outside and other than Jameer and Dwight, the team isn't doing much on offense. Even Shaq and Kobe needed some support when they won their rings. Dwight and Jameer can not do it alone. Other than that, I am really happy the Hawks are up 3-1. I believe we could and show have swept this series, seeing how bad Orlando has played. I personally don't want to see a game six because my heart will be pounding and I will be sweating beads. The Hawks need to quit making it difficult on them.
When getting an offensive board, we quickly shoot an outside jumper or take a questionable shot. Use the shot clock. Take time off the clock and make Dwight play defense for a little longer. Every second counts.
Josh Smith has played horribly in this series and I am sick of his sour attitude. He is a fantastic athlete but can anyone else not see how out of shape he looks? It's apparent to me that he doesn't spend very much time in the gym. But I could be wrong so I'm sorry if he does spend a lot of time in the gym. He also needs to stop settling and draw the defense in with his inside game and either take it to the rim or dish it out for an open shot for our guards.
Two times in Game 4, the Hawks avoided a possible foul drawing contact with Dwight. Marvin had a lane and dished it in a resulting bad shot when he could have instead gone straight to Dwight's body and possibly drawn a foul. Dwight had two fouls in the first quarter but he still played almost the entire game. That should say everything about how the Hawks are not doing what they need to do in order to take Dwight out of the game.
I don't mean to sound like a hater but the Hawks have been extremely fortunate in this series. We've witnessed a ton of lucky shots…
But whatever… Go Hawks!!!

I think the big difference against Orlando (on the court and off) has been the play of Collins. In the past, the Hawks were mentally weak against Orlando. But with Collins starting and doing a good job on Dwight, the Hawks actually believed they could win (starting in the regular season). And with that belief came confidence. And it has continued to grow.
I still get concerned though. Like in last night's game, Steve Kerr was getting on the Hawks down the stretch, because after being up 6, we could come down and dribble out the shot clock, and throw up a shot before the buzzer went off. Very little movement (pick and roll, screen, pass etc). Everybody just stands around while the guy with the ball does his thing.
As for Orlando, they are worse than they were last year. No Gortat, No Pietrus, and no Barnes have made a big difference. Unless Otis convinces Dwight to stay, I think he will be on the hot seat.
As doc pointed out on the other blog, SVG deserves some blame too. He has not come up with an effective plan for when the 3's arent falling. I think he will be on the hot seat too.

Good points, all.
Good points about the absence of Rashard Lewis (let's be honest, Josh Smith isn't really being challenged in this series), Vince Carter, etc.
I tend to agree with those who share concerns about how management/ownership will tend to view this current postseason success, and it would be all too convenient to ignore the roster changes Orlando has undergone in favor of comparing our current success against them to our ineptitude a year ago.
As for the Hawks themselves, once again most are correct. They are still shooting at their feet, but missing more often, thus less injury. The low scoring and the mental errors would prove deadly against any other Eastern Conference playoff team right now. If fact, I'd say things could/would be worse against both Philadelphia and Indiana (though to a lesser extent in the case of Indy).
And I hate to sound so negative, but the Magic have truly been horrible and one-and-a-half dimensional (Dwight + Jameer…who hasn't been great the whole series).
The big story of this series will be the all-too-expected speculation as to what the Magic will do in the offseason to try and stave off the inevitable – the departure of their second all-NBA franchise center.
In the meantime…I'll still take a first round win from my team. Always.

O'Brien ,
Have to hand it to you, of all those missing from Orlando's former supporting cast, Matt Barnes may be the most glaring. He's a killer for a team like ours on both ends. Harassing Joe on one end, making 3s on the other…
I still say they miss Gortat more than most think. The guy is no superhero, but he's tall and fairly quick. He ran the floor well and would get key rebounds (particularly on the offensive end), while also changing a shot or two. Basically, he neutralized Zaza in a number of ways.
It's a sad day for Orlando when they realize that with the NBA's best center and several moves later, they are no longer elite. It's a sad day for Atlanta when they finally beat Orlando, only for the fans to realize that this does not make them elite.

I struggle to give Collins a ton of credit. First, the notion of defending the "role players" is enhanced by the fact that the role players aren't as good thi season. Secondly, Collins has mostly played less than half of the game. I could see giving the "disposable bigs" credit for at least keeping Dwight occupied (inlcuding Collins, Zaza and Hilton) but I think the hype specifically directed to Collins is unjustified. I'm just not sure that if the Hawks were trying to defend Rashard, Vince and Jameer (like last year), if the defense of Dwight would be sufficient. But I give LD credit for recognizing the weakness in the role players and essentially daring them to score against solid defense.

Dang, Big Ray. Allow us to enjoy the fantasy for a minute, why don't you. Hawks are elite and the Easter Bunny delivered those eggs yesterday. That's my story and I'm stinking with it, dammit.

astro, let al or josh try to manage dwight and foul out and not contribute anything more and you might understand what isnt hype but credit where credit is due. i watched that match up in the phillips where i didnt have to depend on the camera both in game three and the last regular season victory and was really impressed with the way twin stayed with dwight and frustrated the dickens out of him. collins has the knack for knowing where dwight wants to go and clearly getting there before dwight does. that takes smarts and both hilton and zaza look to have learned from it as well. no hype just good basketball that should be brought out.focus in on it pretty impressive.
i only wish jj and josh could be as disciplined to stick to the basics. jj needs to have an internal timer go off in his head when he gets to three seconds and counting when he has the ball. his efficiency probably goes down with that as a quarterbacks does by not getting the ball out of his hands early enough in the routes.

I think Collins deserves a good amount of credit. If nothing else, it's clear that he and Zaza are exhausting Dwight. At the end of the game, Dwight clearly is toiling, which is something you don't see much from him because he's one of the fittest guys in the league. But Collins knows how to use his bulk to get in Dwight's way, which makes Dwight work that much harder in order to get around/through him on offense and on the glass. Zaza is, of course, Zaza. He just harasses annoys the hell out of whoever he's guarding. Vlade Divac minus the offensive game.
I've heard/read many athletes say that the most physically exhausting sports in the world is Olympic (ie Greco-Roman or freestyle, not WWE) wrestling. It requires absolutely incredible amounts of effort to move a 250-lbs man who is using all of his strength to keep you from moving him. The elite-level athletes train hours upon every day, but still are inevitably exhausted at the end of a 6-9 minute match.
I'm definitely not saying that what Dwight/Collins/etc are doing in this series is as physically taxing as Olympic wrestling. But Dwight is having to use far more energy than he's used to expending against just one guy. He's strong and fit enough to score a lot of points and get a lot of rebounds early on anyway, but he's using up so much energy (which makes him less effective late in the game) and so many possessions (which keeps his teammates from getting into a rhythm for late in the game) in the process that it's a Pyrrhic victory for him.

The Hawks still have offensive lapses where they get too excited and get out of control….if they can limit the number of possessions that that happens they will finally make the Eastern Conference Finals this year.
I have confidence we will close out Orlando.
The Chicago Bulls are a team that we can beat especially with a gimpy Derrick Rose. In addition we just matchup well against them. The only advantage they have is point guard. With that said….I see the glass half full.
Once we win this series I hope Coach Drew still allows Jason Collins to play. He gives us some intangibles that cannot be measured. Things such as taking charges, setting screens, hard playoff fouls, and boxing out.
April 25th, 2011
2:49 pm
yes big ray, i saw that the lakers solely went after barnes to assure he wouldnt be with the magic if they had to face them in the finals. make the other team weaker if nothing else. we see how that did affect the magic going forward.
i am still wondering who made the trade to get arenas and the trade to get rid of perkins. both still leave me clueless as to the benefit to each team that made those trades. if getting arenas was to make up for the phoenix trade then clearly the first one should never had been made.
April 25th, 2011
2:49 pm
In case it wasn't clear, the connection with wrestling was that it takes a lot of energy to move Twin's bumping/flopping 300-pound frame around the block, and a comparable amount to move Zaza's Ritalin-OD body too.
April 25th, 2011
2:53 pm
Hawks won Game 1 with Dwight producing Wilt-type numbers. Collins is averaging 18 minutes in this series, Zaza around 20. And Zaza can actually contribute rebounds and a few points in addition to occupying Dwight. Like I said earlier, I appreciate the effors of ALL of the bigs and can't single out Collins from the mix as being any more impactful, especially while only playing 18 per game. Ultimately (IMO), this series will be won because the Magic role players were exposed by LD's defensive strategy of not allowing them open looks.
April 25th, 2011
2:53 pm
nire, amen to the toiling part as dwight is less productive with each game and is wearing down even though it is only game four complete now. he is having to play every possession with no time off. who would have thought hilton could do what he did to dwight in his short stretch? it was probably fatigue playing a factor there, then to have collins come back when josh got his fifth. he wasnt the go to guy down the stretch was he?
April 25th, 2011
2:55 pm
wilt like numbers have wilted astro. he isnt even close to that type of player for long stretches.
April 25th, 2011
2:55 pm
doc, I wish I knew if the receivers were running the right routes when Joe gets sacked for holding the ball too long. I suspect that both QB and receiver are guilty on this highly undisciplined team.
April 25th, 2011
2:56 pm
LOL@ Astro Joe . What fantasy? Beating the Orlando that seemed unbeatable (except in Boston) or beating this farce of a 50+ win team? Sorry, I'm a cold water kinda guy, LOL.
As for Jason Collins, he does deserve the credit of playing his lone assignment to perfection. He isn't out there to stop Dwight. He's not out there to play 30+ minutes. He's just there to allow Horford and Zaza to actually contribute to the game for 18 minutes or so without having to deal with Dwight on one end of the floor. Collins has no other role, and if there was a way to substitute for him on offensive possessions only, you can bet that LD would do it.
I don't see a link at all between Dwight and the current supporting cast vs. the former supporting cast. In other words, Dwight's numbers look good now, and would still look good if Barnes/Vince/ Pietrus were here. The difference is solely with our perimeter guys. Historically, we've been unable to contain Vince, and you could bet that if he was here now, he'd be taking many of the Magic's late game shots, along with perhaps Nelson and Barnes, maybe even Reddick. Fact is that the Magic traded him away, and neither Richardson or Arenas have come close to making up for what he was able to do.
In fact, outside of the unheralded Barnes, Vince may be the biggest loss for this team. Rashard Lewis was good for these guys for a good while, but of late, he also showed that was a weak point. Lewis is past his time and his game, and seems highly unmotivated, leading to his trade. But little sense in arguing all of this. Assuming the 2nd round is all but guaranteed, we face greater challenges for our current heroes.
Joe will get to chase Rose after Hinrich fouls out….that's one theme…
April 25th, 2011
3:03 pm
doc, the only reason why he would even have to be that type of player for 40 minutes a game is because the other players are being shut down. Come on, dude is averaging 28 points, 17 boards on 64% shooting. That is MORE than enough to have your team winning a playoff series if anyone else shows up. Those are utterly ridiculous numbers (in 41 minutes/game). Sorry, I struggle celebrating the defensive effort that allows those kind of numbers without acknowledging the other side of the coin which is likely producing ~55 points and 30% shooting from everyone else on the Magic.
April 25th, 2011
3:06 pm
It's a great sign that my only complaint with Coach Drew is his frequent use of the non-word "irregardless," as opposed to the word "regardless." Somehow he manages to slip it into every press conference. It makes me cringe. But as long as the Hawks win, he can use as many non-words as he wishes.
April 25th, 2011
3:10 pm
Big Ray, those are some tough words, but I don't think anyone thinks this team is elite! Kenny Smith basically took 5 minutes at half time to tell everyone how bad both the HAWKS and MAGIC are and neither are playing winning basketball.
We play well for a few possessions and then play poorly. Part of the reason last nights game wasn't a blow out was us and part was Gilbert. The Magic aren't going to lay down, so we can't expect for the HAWKS to keep a lead just because. They have to consistantly execute their offensive and make jumpshots. (Yes, JumpShots!) They are a jumpshooting team, and they have to do what they do best. At this point I think the only way they learn to play more consistant is adversity. I think they're learning because they are making plays when they have to. One of the best signs I saw from this team was Josh giving Crawford "five" after the game 2 loss. It showed me that these guys believe they can should win this series.
In my mind there is no reason to look any further than the next game. Anyone they play if they are fortunate enough to win this series, they have played before and beaten at least once this season. They need to learn as much as they can from each game, especially learn what they have to do every possession to be successful.
April 25th, 2011
3:11 pm
Dwight is averaging 10 more points/game vs. the regular season. Sorry, the story of this series (IMO) is ALL about shutting down the non-Dwight players… not allowing Dwight to produce more points than his likely MVP runner-up regular season. I give the bigs credit (all of them, not singling any one player out) for keeping Dwight occupied but my guess is the non-Dwight Magic players are probably averaging around 55 points and shooting around 30% for the series. LD is exploiting that weakness… forcing the supporting players to produce against solid defense and they are stinking up the joint.
And Big Ray, I would also throw Pietrus in the mix as his physical defense always gave us problems. Having the ability to rotate Barnes AND Pietrus against Joe and Jamal was a big factor in their success. And of course, Vince has killed us while wearing several different uniforms during his career.
April 25th, 2011
3:14 pm
Dreamer 3K, irrespective of LD's choice of words (and 2-foul debacle), he has mostly been good in his first playoffs in the big chair.
April 25th, 2011
3:15 pm
With Gortat, Orlando could even play him and Dwight in the game at the same time just to give the Hawks a different look.
And the presence of Gortat allowed Dwight to take a break. With no Gortat, Dwight is playing major minutes, and taking lumps from ZaZa and Twin which is clearly getting to him.
Otis made a big mistake not getting a backup Center for Dwight.
April 25th, 2011
3:20 pm
If 10 years ago, Shaq had gone for 32/17 on 65% shooting in a series lost against Utah, my guess is that no one would be all excited about Ostertag's defense against Shaq. They would more likely be wondering what happened to the other Lakers or giving the Utah wing players some love for holding down Shaq's supporting cast.
April 25th, 2011
3:21 pm
let's not leave out the fact that collins has also drawn charges on a number of occasion even from people not named dwight. he's also the main reason dwight leads the playoffs in turnovers. he's played real real solid and i can't say enough about that guy. he's taken a pounding every single game.
April 25th, 2011
3:26 pm
let's not forget dwight has gotten a bulk of his points on guys like "6′8 dud" josh powell, and "chopstick" hilton armstrong and "beyond over the hill" etan thomas…. do i need to go on? when collins has gotten the chance to guard him one on one he's had favorable to decent results.
April 25th, 2011
3:29 pm
I don't know why everyone is acting like the Bulls are some magical team that can't be beaten. They've been pushed to the limits by the Indiana Pacers of all teams. IN that series the Bulls are FORTUNATE to be up 3-1 and with Derrick Rose "questionable" for game 5 this thing could easily go back to Indianapolis 3-2.
This year…more than ever….the Hawks can get to the ECF. They avoided Carmelo and Amare, The Big 3 and the Big Bad Celtics.

LINDSAY, Oklahoma - Multiple arrests have been made in connection to a kidnapping case out of Lindsay, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesperson Jessica Brown said.
On March 24, three men reportedly kidnapped and beat 38-year-old Kelly Bohannon once they had him in a car. While the car was moving, Bohannon jumped out of the moving vehicle in Carter County and the suspects left.
Bohannon recently broke up with his girlfriend, Pamela Jackson, and the breakup is the reason for the kidnapping, according to Brown. Jackson loaned her vehicle to the suspects, 28-year-old John Wayne McKinley, 34-year-old Jeremy Burk and 25-year-old Charlie Foster, to use in the kidnapping. As a result, all four suspects have been charged with kidnapping and assault and battery with great bodily injury, Brown said.
Both McKinley and Burk were arrested, but officials are still searching for Foster.
If anyone sees Foster, they are urged to call either the Garvin County Sheriff's Office at 405-238-7591 or the OSBI at 800-522-8017.

There have been a few very memorable opening night games at Philips Arena over the past decade. First there was the 4-1 loss to begin their first ever season in 1999…hockey was officially back in Atlanta that night. Then there was 2003 when the team and the fans paid their respects to the late Dan Snyder before a very emotional 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Last year saw a 7-4 win over the Capitals in which John Anderson earned his first NHL coaching win over his good friend Bruce Boudreaux.
And now, ten years and one day after that initial opening night against the Devils, the Thrashers kicked-off season number ten with a thrilling 6-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in front of an electrified crowd announced at 18,545. The game played out much like last years opener when they got off to a 4-0 lead…saw the caps come back to tie…then pulled away in the third. This time, after building a four-goal lead, the Lightning scored three unanswered goals…two by Martin St. Louis…and then put the game away with two of their own.
Leading the way was captain Kovalchuk who notched a pair of goals and added an assist. The Pevs Dispenser also had two goals and a helper while defenders Zach Bogosian and Anssi Salmela stepped up into the attack to score goals as well.
I hear that John Anderson likes that kinda play from his blueliners.
Rookie Evander Kane picked up his first ever NHL career point after cutting through on the left side and assisting on Peverley's first goal of the night. EK also led the Thrashers with 4 shots on goal. That's a nice first game in the NHL, eh? He keeps this up and the team is going to have a tough decision to make in a couple of weeks.
Ondrej Pavelec, I thought, had a very solid game Saturday night…holding the Bolts scoreless on their first nineteen shots on goal. Pavs stopped 36 of 39 Tampa Bay shots, which equates to a .923 SV%…not shabby at all. He saved some of his best for when it counted most in the third…holding his ground on a Andrej Meszaros breakaway and then made a quality stop on Steven Stamkos.
"He kept us in the game early", Anderson said of Pavelec afterwards.
See, I told you Opie was gonna do just fine…nothing to worry about!
Eric Boulton got the evening off to a raucous start when he absolutely plastered a Lightning player in the far corner. I didn't see just whom it was that got knocked silly…all I could see was a pair of skates sticking up outa the ice. It was simply a ferocious hit!
Along with Kane, three other players made their debut in Thrasherville. Defenseman Pavel Kubina finished the night a +1 in 20:22 TOI. Forwards Nik Antropov and Maxim Afinogenov also played in their first regular season game in a Thrashers uniform. Antropov didn't figure in the scoring, but finished with 2 shots and a +1 while Max joined Kovy in assisting on the Peever's second goal and was a –1 with 3 SOG.
Mark Popovic finished a +1 in his return to the Atlanta lineup.
One play that did not result in a goal that stands out in my mind came during the second period. Kovy made a beautiful cross-ice pass from the left side of center ice over to Antropov crossing the blueline on the right. Antro then found Brian Little streaking through the left side and fed him with a picture-perfect pass for a quality scoring chance. Again, while not resulting in a goal, it's the kind of stuff Thrashers fans are looking for from this top line.
Also, Nik did a great job of denying Tampa Bay a goal during the first period, taking away the far side of the post on a wrap around play.
Best fight of the night? Has to be the Chris Thorburn vs. Zenon Konopka bout in the second period. It came right after Peverley's goal and they traded several heavy blows during the lengthy battle.
Now the Thrashers get a break, in my opinion. Unlike the last couple of years, they do not have to go on the road to play the second game of the season the very next night. They will get four days of rest before their first away game in St. Louis on Thursday night. The Blues will be coming home after two wins against the Detroit Red Wings in Sweden.
Now Matter Where I Sit…There's Hockey Biltong!
Along with the number of lurkers I had the pleasure of meeting last night, it was very nice to share section 104 with a few of our regular contributors. Darkhorse, his lovely wife and their friends were just a couple rows behind me…and just a section over, none other than World Be Free and the charming Mrs. WBF. Following me from section 119 to the club section Saturday was Hockey Biltong…who I swear is stalking me…and the engaging Mrs. Biltong. She's finally come up with a snappy username to post under…I hope she unveils it here soon.
Just prior to the drop of the puck, the four of us gathered together for what could only be classified has a high-level, Rawhide/Iceman blog power confab.
Closeby was Bill and his adorable daughter Jessie…I always enjoy seeing those two at games. Also, it was very nice to have met Rightshot while enjoying the Taco Mac post game show.
IMPORTANT SCHEDULE UPDATE: Oct. 10 Viewing Party at TJ's Cancelled/Rescheduled
Due to the fact that this coming Saturday night's game in Ottawa is not being aired in Atlanta or Ottawa…the game will not be on Center Ice. Thus, there will be no viewing party at TJ's on Oct. 10. Instead, Mark, Tim and I have agreed to reschedule it for Saturday night Nov. 7 when the Thrashers play on Long Island. The game will not be on local TV, but there will be a feed from MSG Network.
Also, remember that we'll have a viewing party with the Atlanta Thrashers Fan Club on Saturday Oct. 17 when the Thrashers are in Buffalo. Also, the Party Bus event is on for Oct. 24 from TJ's to the game in Philips when Dany Heatley and the Sharks are in town…and there's still a few seats left. We will then do the viewing party on Nov. 7 as discussed and the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving when we play in Detroit.
Godspeed And Good Luck, Nikita
Please join me in wishing Nikita a fond farewell as she attended her last game before moving to Pennsylvania.
Good luck, Nikita…remember, there is this little thing call NHL Center Ice and I'm sure the internet has found it's way to the Keystone State. Don't be a stranger!

Tony C. — You deserve an atta boy for giving him a hard time and speaking your mind but remaining civil. I'm surprised you didn't grill him on the porous defense that has defined Thrashers Hockey since it's inception, but overall it sounds like you put him on the coals for several of the common topics that are discussed here. I'm still curious if he knows what the duties of goalie coach actually entails.

Sara, I have friends in Winnipeg who were constantly messaging me overnight, asking what was going on. Apparently, no one in Winnipeg has heard of this alleged plan to move the Thrashers there.

We deserve our teams and our fandom to go unmolested. I mean you don't see ESPN spreading rumors over the Jays or Raptors. Also MLB as well as other voices in and around baseball fought to keep the Expos in Montreal.

The biggest fear of the Canadians is that their beloved Maple Leafs, Senators, and Canadians will all be sitting at home in April watching the Stanley Cup playoffs on TV while the Thrashers (or Hurricanes, Lightning, or Panthers) are still playing.
They know their teams S#CK this year.
And we know that insecure weenies will denigrate others when they can not build up themselves.
The analogy is to these neurotic Canadians is that we are the Math Geek stealing their girlfriend, the head cheerleader. And they know she will be happier and more fulfilled than she was with their worthless asses.

Tony C., thanks for that recap with Don Waddell. Waddell is the sort who diffuses anger and criticism well. Generally speaking, by the time a person finishes talking to him, he or she is ready to buy season tickets and think the Stanley Cup can't be that far away. He has this charming ability to maneuver a conversation and win you over. Stand there long enough, and a person might believe that this ownership isn't really all that bad and that everything is about to blossom into a COVER SHOT for a Gardening magazine.
Not that this actually happened, mind you, but imagine a conversation with Waddell that went like this, hypothetically. "Don, I gotta tell you, I'm still very mad that Hossa left. Bluntly, how could you let this happen?" Waddell's answer, "Yeah, definitely, that was a tough break and wasn't the outcome that we wanted." "Well, how and why did it happen, then?" Waddell's answer, "Look, to be honest, the moment we got Hossa he agreed he'd help our club all he could. He admitted shock over the trade. And indicated that he didn't anticipate doing anything in Atlanta beyond honoring his contract." The fan responds, "So, you KNEW he'd leave, the moment you got him?" Waddell answers, "Well, I prefer not to phrase it like that. The fact is, we had a to fill a hole of a 40 goal scorer and 80-point a season guy, and Hossa was just the ticket. Hossa had his career-best point production season with the Atlanta Thrashers in 2007. Plus adding deVries gave us some needed depth on the backline." As a fan, you sit there, nodding, admiring his candor, his willingness to speak to you about such specific matters, and the fact that he's NOT ANGRY with you that for questioning him and his decisions or judgement. If the President of the United States sent Waddell over to Saudi Arabia, he'd have them IMPORTING American sand, on the basis that its color and texture is far superior in the United States to that found within their region. And why should the Saudis have to suffer with lesser quality sand. And so forth.

Stroz-throw in 2 other prime time sports, curling and snooker. You can't turn on the TV in Canada in any Canadian city on a Saturday (in winter) without seeing curling. Bore me to tears!
Seriously, all this Canadian talk is designed to disrupt the fanbase and the franchise. How unethical and immoral is that?

five_hole-the difference is that we know baseball is boring. They thing curling is the greatest (next to hockey).
I feel bad picking on Canadians; there are so many good ones, it is a shame to lump them all into one basket. But the good ones aren't calling out the bad Canadians, so I guess it's OK.

Don Waddell is really a gracious man as pointed out by Tony C. Just the fact he was roaming the upper deck and mingling with the fans confirms this fact. We met the Waddell's when our daughters played on the same soccer team a few years ago. After one particularly tough game where my daughter come up big (she was the goalie) Don made it a point to congratulate her. It really made her day! For that reason alone I can never say a bad word about the man. Do I always agree with every move he makes – no. But, I've seen another side of the man and find it hard to attack him on a blog.
One semi-humorous tale and then I'll go back behind my rock. My wife and I were talking with the Waddell's at Casino Night one year and Don had to excuse himself to meet with some high rollers. Before he left he motioned for Bob Hartley to come over and meet us. This was right after Hartley was hired. Must have figured we were someone important because he spent the next twenty minutes talking with us.

I'm finally getting my voice back from the game – what a great time!
I was excited about what I saw for the most part. Seems like some of the lines are still trying to gel but there was some good chemistry out there.
As many have mentioned previously Pavs does flop a lot – though his happy feet seemed to settle after the first period a bit.
Kane looked tenative early on and got bump off the puck too easily a few times but by the end of the game he looked much more confident.
Two things I saw that worried me a bit – the SOG (as everyone else has pointed out) and the difficulty the team had clearing the puck on occassion throughout the night. At one point in the third I had to count players to make sure we weren't on a PK.
Oh yeah – and kudos to everyone there screaming their heads off – Phillips was rocking.

Dear TJ viewing party,
I will be at the November 7th game against the the Chilanders (Cheesy Islanders). My brother in law works for Cablevison and got me some awesome seats. So hopefully when the Thrash are putting the smack down on Taveras and Mandy Strutton, you all will get to see my smiling face in my Thrasher jersey. Look for the 6′2 drunk bearded guy in the Thrashers queer blue jersey surrounded by @ssholes with mullets, Gordon Fisherman jerseys, and gold chains.
I will rent a IROC for the parking lot so I can go into the arena undetected…

Okay. Like TableHockey, the Mrs. and I are just getting our voices back as well. So, although I've been a bit delayed, I'll offer up my $.02, although I'm sure it'll be nothing that hasn't already been said. What I can offer you is merely my thoughts from my view up in the Nasty Nest on opening night.
And before I do, just a quick tip of the hat. RH, good to see you as always! Now, onto a quick top 10 thoughts:
1. Kovy looked like a man on a mission determined to make this team his from the start of the season. While I recognize that Ranger flipped the puck into his own net, what made the goal was Kovy lowering his shoulder and driving the net (this was a consistent theme throughout the night that I saw time and time again). Does anyone think that his "slow start" last season was something he was determined to not let happen again?
2. Bogosian is going to be a monster if he is not already. He has a nose for the net and made his goal happen becuase he (here it is again), drove for the net. You guys have heard me for years harp on the line, "You can't score if you don't shoot." Bogo is the proverbial pudding proof.
3. I can't count how many times I saw Antropov in the crease screening the netminder (my wife, Lilibeter loves that word). Even though he didn't show up much on the score sheet, he had a lot to do with the opportunities and goals the Thrashers had. He also saved at least one goal that I saw on the defensive side.
4. Kubina is for real. The importance of ability to make the first pass out of the zone cannot be underestimated and anyone that saw the replays of the Kubina to Little to Kovalchuk passing play that resulted in Kovy's first goal understands.
5. Kane. Wow. Every time I looked for him, he was either in the slot, at the backdoor or behind the net. He is another player that seems to be sniffing around the crease at all times (something we have sorely been lacking since the few games that Tkachuk was here). Like so many others have said, when Army comes back, there are some tough choices that are going to be made. Kane did seem to be getting pushed out of position every now and again, but I think some of that has to do with learning the NHL game and how to handle himself against players of this size and speed. From what I saw, I DO NOT think that another year in juniors will serve him any good, though.
6. Peverly – What can you say? Get him signed to an extension…now.
7. Boulton – Did he really make that pass to Salmela? Not a bad overhand right either…
8. Thorburn – I'm going to be critical because someone has to explain to me why you would get into a fight with your team leading 4-0 and there being no specific catalyst. I get the idea that Thor was trying to "prove his worth" and make sure he wasn't a scratch in the next few games. Sorry, and maybe this is hindsight, but I think that fight did nothing for the Thrashers and lit a fire under the Bolts (even if Thor won the fight).
9. Pavalec – There has been plenty of commenting on his flopping/overcommitting. I think he played a very good game and his rebound control was a hell of a lot better than I remember it ever being. There is room for improvement, but my heart is not going to take an entire season of this.
10. The Crowd – Short of the playoff games, that was probably the most electric I have EVER heard a crowd at Philips. In many ways, it reminded me of that night, many, many years ago, that the Knights won the Turner Cup at the Omni. It goes to demonstrate once again that if you put a product that can win (or give the prospect of winning) out there that Atlanta sports fans can support, they will.
I could probably go on for a while, but that seems to be more than enough. I don't think there are any new revelations here, merely my thoughts getting added to the stew.

The judgment is definitely still out on Pavelec, but the bottom line is, none of the three goals by Tampa could be pinned on him. Someone commented that he was not aware where the puck was at times. May I remind you that spotting the puck in a scrum is one of the weakest Lehtonen's trait by comparison.

Here's an article about the HNIC rumour about the Thrashers possibly moving to Winnipeg. I really don't get why the NHL would want to even entertain moving a franchise out of one of the biggest markets in North America, with much untapped poteintial due to 10 years of subpar on ice product imo. As the home opener showed, there are plenty of hockey fans, rabid and bandwagon, in the Atlanta area willing to fill the place up when they are relevant. Put a few winning seasons together with solid playoff showings, and I doubt attendance will be an issue.
As some of you have already posted, Winnipeg is such a small hockey market, and not much has changed there since they moved last time in the 90s. 700k in the metro and surrounding? By the way, I loved the Jets when Selanne came on the scene. Was sorry they moved to the desert too, but they're not getting our Thrashers.
Now would the ASG want to sell the team? That would not surprise me in the least, but I would hope they, owning the arena, and the NHL would want the new owners to keep the team here(41+ home dates) and succeed.
October 5th, 2009
10:59 am
The best part of the game was seeing how are defense, while lacked a little defensively, is definitely going to be high in points this season. I feel like Toby, Bogo, Pavel, and Ronnie will break the Thrashers highest point total in a season. Expect more to come from Kane.

Let's be really honest here…if this has any truth to it, do you really think it is going to be leaked to a second-rate hack like Al Strachan? If memory serves, was he not the same whiner that tried to have the Gretzky deal to LA overturned by the league because he was a "national treasure"? If such machinations were actually in play, this would be kept so secretive to avoid the media circus that Balsille brought upon himself. Other bidders for any other team will more than likely learn from his mistakes and keep it all hush hush and put their egos in their back pocket. Is the NHL REALLY going to allow a city the size of Atlanta to be without a team and a small market (no offense Winnipeg, youre a great city, but the new economic model of a pro franchise cannot work there) with no major industry to get it? Bettman is fighting for Phoenix, gotta think the same will happen here. I find it laughable that we are derided for our attendance…give the team a chance to become part of the community. Fandom passed down from father to son and so on. Toronto and Detroit are sure quick to change the subject when you point out that both cities could not fill their buildings when the teams were languishing near the bottom of the league…and they (at the time) had been there 50-60 years. And why go after a team that is not even for sale? Wang is practically begging for a new home for his Islanders. The Panthers play in front of much smaller crowds than Atlanta and they are pretty consistantly a competitive team. Phoenix is going to have to come up with something – or they are gone too. Heck, just 5 years ago the Canadian media was clamoring for the death of the Pens and Canes – now they are lauded as model franchises. Our achilles heel is the Octo-cluster. But honestly, i'd look to PHX, NYI, TB, FLA and NSH to be a more likely relocation applicant than Atlanta. It's also pretty risky to move to Canada at this juncture. As with most economic recoveries, we are soon to likely face some inflation. Differences in currency exchange rates will grow – and it is not likely to see the trend of the past 22 months (on 1/1/08 the US Dollar and Canadian Dollar were equal – today it is at .916 of a US Dollar) to lose momentum. A player, no matter where he plays get paid in US Dollars. The Canadian teams are at a 10% loss right off the bat as their income is in Canadian Dollars. This will kill a smaller market. Winnipeg will only have their hearts ripped out again as another team cannot survive there. Continue to support the Moose…as the AHL is the perfect level of hockey for a city of that size.

WBF – I lived in the Bay Area before moving here…I don't recall the Seals ever playing in the Cow Palace. They played in the east Bay over at the Oakland Coliseum. The Sharks played there their first few seasons, but that's the only NHL hockey that dump has ever seen.
October 5th, 2009
12:23 pm
Like I said yesterday, the Canadian media is trying to do is destabilize this franchise. On a day that we should be discussing Saturday's game, we have to spend our time on this garbage.
Cobb County is bigger than Winnipeg! I agree that they deserve a franchise, but it's not going to happen especially with our team!

For those of you worried about shots on goal, please keep in mind that Tampa only had 32 SOG as of the time Kovy scored the game-icing 6th goal. Also, Tampa had more PP time some of which was not deserved as the call on Salmela was horse *expletive*.
Also, after the 6th goal, Todd White was sent to the box for something totally undeserved leading to a BS 4 on 4 sequence where Tampa got some chances. But after that, the Thrashers continued to forecheck and put pressure on the Dolts. We gave up some shots after Kovy's goal, but other than the breakaway by Meszaros, I wouldn't say any of them were quality chances.
JA will work out the kinks this week and I think you'll see a bit more discipline on the road trip. We'll still give up 30-35 from time to time, but I think you'll see quite a few more games were both teams are in the upper 20s.

This manga begs for translation . Great art work - nice coloration - the censor uses "white" lines instead of the nasty "black". That use could make a clean-up easier . The sex scenes are drawn with great care . Rated 4.6 out of 5 .

New car reviews from The Boston Globe

We drive dozens of new cars every year, from fuel-sipping compacts to red-blooded sports cars. And being in New England, we get to test them in the most extreme conditions -- freezing blizzards, scorching heat, and in Boston, a barrage of potholes.
Check back for our take on the latest models.

It's been another weak weekend for the US box office as most of the new films – including Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais and animated 'toon Igor - barely made a blip on the charts. It was left to Lakeview Terrace, starring Samuel L Jackson, to manage a decent haul.
It may not seem like it (aside from its mean streak), but Terrace was directed by Neil LaBute, seemingly doing studio penance for The Wicker Man. It managed $15 million. The Coens' Burn After Reading held well in second, making $11.2 million. In third, the latest Dane Cook comedy effort arrived with just $8.3 million.
Fourth place found Igor, the animated monster 'toon nabbing just $8 million despite boasting the voices of John Cusack and Steve Buscemi. At fifth, the Al Pacino/Robert De Niro cop thriller Righteous Kill suffered from poor word of mouth and made $7.7 million in its second weekend.
Bad news for Gervais
Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys dropped 53% to sixth place with $7.5 million, while The Women slipped to seventh.
There was bad news for Ricky Gervais as Ghost Town failed to find all those fans across the pond who claim they love the original Office, making just $5.1 million in eighth. The Dark Knight finally began its fall from the top 10 at ninth and bringing up the rear in 10th was The House Bunny.

As part of NFL Network's 32 teams in 32 days series, airing daily on Total Access, NFL.com takes a look at a key question facing each NFL team. NFL Network analyst Solomon Wilcots and NFL.com senior writer Steve Wyche discuss Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel. What should be expected of Cassel in his first full season as a starter in a new system under a new coaching staff?
Read their take and then enter the discussion below.
Wyche: Cassel lacks options
Todd Haley is one of the most creative passing game designers and play callers in the NFL. Heâs the type of coach who should bring out the best in Matt Cassel.
Yet Haley doesnât have the Pro Bowl WRs he coached in Arizona to help Cassel in K.C. Cassel doesnât have the Pro Bowl receivers he had in New England, where he emerged from a career backup to a valuable commodity.
K.C.'s trade of Tony Gonzalez left Haley and Cassel with Dwayne Bowe, an emerging stud, and Bobby Engram, a veteran who isnât Randy Moss or Larry Fitzgerald. The lack of options could be more of an indicator of Casselâs 2009 season than his overall skills and his ability to grasp Haleyâs offense. Having learned the complicated schemes in New England, Cassel showed he can handle whatâs taught, but playing with a developing roster with marginal help could make Cassel more of a manager than franchise QB. And we haven't even discussed the Chiefs' questionable offensive line .
That could be all the Chiefs are looking for for now, since Cassel only cost them a second-round draft choice. If he proves more than that, maybe he is a legitimate NFL starter.
Wilcots: Steep learning curve
In New England, a veteran team kind of carried Matt Cassel until he got going. It wasn't pretty at first, let's face it. But, he did get it together once the environment became familiar and he was comfortable, and he was helped by great receivers and a good defense.
All of those things are now gone in Kansas City. It's not a familiar environment. It's not a familiar coach. It's a new system. There is no Randy Moss there to bail you out. There certainly is no Bill Belichick defense to bail you out.
This is a steep learning curve for Cassel.
This season will tell you more about Cassel than anything else up until this point. The fact that the Chiefs haven't signed Cassel to a long-term deal should tell you something.

Organic Crown Maple Syrup Put to the Test with Organic Pumpkin Pancakes
Sweet Greens -- October 12, 2011
Eben is a huge breakfast person and Mr. Sweet Greens makes him a super breakfast every morning. Today, it was organic pumpkin pancakes in Halloween shapes - a bat, haunted house and pumpkin. This worked out perfectly, because yesterday I received samples of Crown Maple Syrup made locally in New York.

Law firms are relatively secretive institutions. Since they're not public companies — at least not here in the United States, in the year 2014 — they aren't required to reveal that much about their internal workings. Here at Above the Law, we do what we can to shed light on how law firms work, but there's only so much we can do.
Every now and then, public filings disclose information about law firm operations — including information about one of the most sensitive subjects, partner pay. Sometimes we learn about partner compensation when a partner files for bankruptcy. Sometimes we hear about it when a partner goes through an ugly divorce.
That's once again the case today. A complicated divorce, complicated enough to spawn ancillary litigation in the form of contempt proceedings, sheds light on how one white-shoe law firm pays its partners….

"The job market in South Africa in our Industry has been positive these last few months. It seems to be improving and has been nice and steady, even quite busy from June to the end of August. September seems fairly quiet and we think it will slow down as we approach the end of the year, as most companies close completely on the 15th December for Builders Holiday.
This whole year has been very similar to last year; some months are quiet while others are very busy. Since June we have been placing 60% Architecture, 30% Interior Design and 10% Project Management. We do seem to have more Architectural specs at any given time and the industry on the Architectural side is definitely picking up considerably.
Our Clients on the Architectural side seem to be looking for very specific skills; they all seem to want highly skilled Revit Technologists or very Senior Design Architects or exceptional Presentation Specialists. It's been a great challange to fill the Architectural specs and has really made us use all of our resources and experience to find the right candidates for the available positions.
Interior Design positions available are for Intermediate and Senior Designers and Revit has not been compulsory at all. These positions have been much easier to fill as we have quite a lot of these candidates available.
Our Clients do seem more positive and there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel for the building industry in South Africa. New projects are being approved and we are all hoping for a more successful New Year but until then, we will do the best we can to fill the specs we have and aim to end the year on a positive note."
Great report Bonny and terrific to read that things are going so well and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Check The Weather »
I've been quietly following the progression of David Smith's app called "Check The Weather" and after using it for over a month, I have finally found a weather app that has made me delete all of the other weather apps that I have used.
The app is simple and beautiful which are a must. Now, with recent updates, the app is iPad/iPhone universal, customizable and trustworthy. Having it tapped into the Dark Sky API is a must and I really don't know how I have lived without it. I know exactly when to bring an umbrella or the best time to walk my dog.
With any other weather app, the start of my day would be cross referencing with the stock weather app and other third party applications. Check The Weather has eliminated that.
