I trust you've all seen the story I did yesterday on the Ilya Kovalchuk negotiations. Sounds like they are progressing. My impression – and it's only my impression – is that there isn't cause for concern right now. I spoke with Don Waddell for about a half hour on Monday in his office. His opinion is something will get done. Now, anything can happen in contract negotiations (again a lesson I learned in the Ken Griffey Jr. incident) but I haven't sense a reason to worry in my reporting. I also think things may move a bit faster once Kovy returns to the states with training camp just around the corner.
I also met Nik Antropov, Todd White and Nathan Oystrick yesterday. They all were working out at the practice facility. Spent some time talking to each for future blogs and Sunday notes column. Antropov is indeed big. I really had no idea. He wasn't real talkative, but that could have been my questions. I spoke to him a lot about Kovy. Andy Sutton was working out with them as well.
Now, for the title of the blog. I asked Waddell how Kari Lehtonen was progressing from his off-season back surgery. He said he gets weekly updates from Kari's doctor and that all seems to be fine. They are not in a hurry to rush him back. Which brought us back to the goaltending situation. As you know, they have Johan Hedberg, Ondrej Pavelic and Lehtonen. However, Waddell reminded me not to forget about a new player in the mix – Drew MacIntyre. He was an unrestricted free agent the Thrashers signed on the same day they agreed to terms with Joel Kwiatkowski and Jason Krog.
"He's going to compete for a job," Waddell said Monday. "He's a good goalie. He was one of the top goalies in the American league the last two years. We are very happy to sign him. He'll be [in training camp]. He'll compete for a spot. We are going to have some fun here.
"You can't have enough [goaltending]. … The last few years when Kari's been hurt, we've put ourselves in a very tough situation. You bury yourself in November, it's tough to get out. It was a big decision this year to make sure we sign and have guys that can compete for that job. If somebody else comes in and competes and wins the job, that means they're better. That's our ultimate goal is to be the best team we can this year."
MacIntyre has a 91-49-8 record in 155 AHL games. He's played with Grand Rapids, Manitoba and, most recently, Milwaukee. He has three straight seasons of at least 25 wins. Last season he was 34-15-4 with four shutouts and a 2.30 goals-against average. He led the AHL in wins, was fifth in GAA and sixth in save percentage.
One final plea for help. The story I did last week on Eric Boulton and Chris Thorburn training with a boxing instructor will run in tomorrow's paper and be online later tonight. I need to include with it a list of the five all-time best fighters in the NHL. What's your list? I could use a little help putting it together.
I am working on some advance stories today, so I will be on the blog for a good bit. I should be able to answer some questions.
Thanks folks.

George Parros because of the mustache (fans wear them too when he fights!)
Georges Laraque is probably the best fighter today.
Donald Brashear is another monster.
Derek Boogaard is probably biggest but not so quick with his hands.
Jared Boll is a youngster and undersized but crazy.
August 25th, 2009
10:31 am
Oh, you said ALL-TIME … that would be a different list … but maybe Tie Domi would be the first.
Claude Lemieux is another good one … and Dave Schultz who was with the Flyers when they were unstoppable.
August 25th, 2009
10:49 am
Off the top of my head I would say Bob Probert, Tony Twist, Marty McSorley, Rob Ray & I hate to say it but Tie Domi. Give me some time to think and I will definitely replace Domi and my bias for Ray might get him off the list. Probert is the best though.
This 4th goalie is a safe bet because we can stick him in Chicago but if we brought in a Marty Biron a la NYI, Lehtonen and Pavelec would flip whereas they probably don't feel threatened by this guy. But the injury toll on Lehtonen means something nonetheless so this is probably a good move.
August 25th, 2009
11:18 am
For a guy his size, Chris Nilan never backed off from a fight and from what i remember, he never really lost a fight. Maybe he did not K.O his opponent every time but he was a good fighter.
I guess that's where he got his nickname "knuckles" from!
August 25th, 2009
11:22 am
As a matter of fact, if you youtube Nilan's name and Semenko, you'll see they squared off a few times. Nilan concedes at least a foot in terms of height but he's the one doing the punching.

Chris, thanks for the update on the Kovy negotiations. Good to hear something positive even if progress is slow. Obviously, with Kovy in France / Russia for the summer months, it's unrealistic for much to happen. But the comments from both Waddell and more importantly, Grossman seem quite positive.
As for the goalie situation, the McIntyre signing was quite intriguing to me. Hopefully Ondrej Pavelec got the message loud and clear. He will need to step it up if he wants to be the #1 man this year…in Chicago! As always, the more competition, the better!
August 25th, 2009
11:48 am
You have to add Rob Ray to the mix. The NHL had to enact a rule because of him. Clark Gillies and Bob Nystrom also should be considered. Take Tiger off the list. Gillies manhandled him.
August 25th, 2009
12:43 pm
Probert, Domi, Joey Kocur, McSorley, Stu Grimson
August 25th, 2009
1:02 pm
I just checked NHLNumbers.com and Thrashers migth be lost all Goalies in 2010/2011 season. Moose will be UFA, Kari and Pavs are RFA. This is not a very good thing.
August 25th, 2009
1:08 pm
I agree with The Earl of Bud on Probert & Twist, and Smitty on Rob Ray. Twist had his career cut short (he tore up his knee in a motorcycle accident) but was without question the baddest fighter I ever saw. I would also include Gordie Howe and Tiger Williams. Honorable mention to Dave Schultz.
August 25th, 2009
1:23 pm
Pavelec's going to be pissed… not only will he NOT make the Thrashers roster, but now he'll be competing for time in Chicago… sweet!
August 25th, 2009
1:29 pm
Didn't Peverley play for Milwaukee? Kind of makes you wonder if Peverley and Anderson had some input on the MacIntyre acquistion.
August 25th, 2009
1:32 pm
Best Fighter – Willi Plett. I watched him kick Williams and Schultz's butts.
And Plett could score goals to boot.
August 25th, 2009
1:35 pm
GVH, I sort of agree with you and I sort of think Pavelec might win the Thrashers job in camp because Lehtonen will be out of action.
On the fighters, some of the guys are before my time or I haven't seen enough clips of them (growing up in Buffalo even if you were a little kid in the 80's you have the image of Jim Schoenfeld and Cashman busting through the boards at the zamboni entrance and fighting in the hallway). I would agree with Grimson and Gillies added to the lists, but from what I hear and see Gordie Howe gets far more credit because he was so good at everything else. five_hole maybe you disagree with that. If we are going to throw size into the equation don't forget that 5′9″ Danny Gare was a legend and stood up to Clark Gillies.
August 25th, 2009
1:51 pm
Vivlamore – If you're going to TJ's again this season, you better include Plett, as you might meet him.
August 25th, 2009
2:08 pm
The Earl of BudI don't disagree with you at all. I hate to admit this but I'm old enough to have seen Gordie Howe skate (with Detroit even). It was a different style of hockey back then. There were no "enforcers" per se; almost everyone (except for a few like John Bucyk of Boston) could fight.
Howe could do it all, and he was a bad man to fight.
I still think Twister was #1. I saw Bob Probert back down from him.
R. Stroz Forgot about Plett. A pretty good addition to the list.
Should we include the Hanson Bros in the list?
August 25th, 2009
2:10 pm
ChrisDomi would not make my top 10.
August 25th, 2009
2:10 pm
August 25th, 2009
2:14 pm
Funny timing. there's a Q & A with Macintyre on the Thrashers website.
For fighters- Probert has to be at the top of the list. Grimson was one of my favs.
August 25th, 2009
2:16 pm
[...] Thrashers are going to have four goalies in camp competing for the top two spots, writes Chris Vivlamore. Always smart to have insurance around when Kari Lehtonen is number [...]
August 25th, 2009
2:16 pm
five_hole, I was going to say that I think that the best fighters were in the 80's because in today's game yeah Brashear might be great but who else is there in the league? Back then EVERY team had it's own true enforcer + some others who were willing to dance, not a Thorburn who can "stand in" if need be. To be the best among 20 – 40 is way better than being the best when there are only 5 left.
Now could I say anything about Tiger Williams or even much about Dave Schultz? Not really.
I also said that even though my first list had Domi at #5 I would eliminate him once I had time to think. Ray is obviuosly a sentimental favorite for me just like Plett might be for people from TJ's. Probert, Twist & McSorley must stay on the list though.
August 25th, 2009
2:19 pm
Why is someone linking to a website about a story about 4 Thrasher goalies? I got a better idea: SCROLL UP!!!
August 25th, 2009
2:22 pm
Willi was awesome – definitely a guy familiar with the Gordie Howe hat trick! As pure fighters go, though, for me:
Probert, Ray, Twist, Schultz and Domi.
Laraque may replace Domi in a few years. He's the most intimidating player now.
August 25th, 2009
2:22 pm
Here`s a name from the last years of the original six. John Ferguson. Played for the Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup teams of that era. I think he also played for the Rangers, and St.Louis Blues right after the first expansion.
August 25th, 2009
2:33 pm
polskidawg's list is closest to mine, but I will say Twist was the baddest mother I ever saw live. Probert #1 on my list also.
Here's a youtube Twist tribute:
August 25th, 2009
2:36 pm
Five all-time fighters in the NHL:
Tony Twist
Dave "Tiger" Williams
Bob Probert
Terry O'Reilly
Tie Domi
How am I the first one to mention Terry O'Reilly? The epitome of a hockey tough guy. He was suspended for hitting a ref in a playoff game. "Bloody" O'Reilly belongs on any list of all-time fighters in the NHL.
August 25th, 2009
2:47 pm
O'Reilly was also a two-time All-Star and four-time 20-goal scorer.

I'll think up my list…but I think it's unanimous…Probert is #1.
Great work on the Kovy info Chris…keep up the good work
August 25th, 2009
3:05 pm
Id say Bob Probert, Behn Wilson, Clark Gillies, Dave Brown, and Georges Laraque would be my preliminary list, but its subjective. And if you add the word "of" and say "5 of the best" then youve CYA'd and nobody can really tear you up for it.
August 25th, 2009
3:08 pm
Plett consistently beat the hell out of Williams and Schultz, so I don't see how Williams or Schultz are higher on the list.
August 25th, 2009
3:09 pm
Correction to my list: Id remove Wilson and stick Twister or McSorely in there. I tend to forget about them sometimes because I havent seen much of them. Thatd probly be how my list would end up after a lot more thought too.
Now as for favorites, Craig Berube is my all-time favorite, but thats another list entirely.
August 25th, 2009
3:10 pm
The Earl of Bud Agreed. To me the 80's were a golden era in Hockey. Back then you had the toughest fighters and the top scorers (Gretsky & Lemieux).

3:52 pm
five_hole, I would say it continued through around 93 to 94 when Gretzky was in the finals, next year you had the Rangers. Lemeiux was still scoring 150 pts/yr, guys like Lafontaine, Mogilny, Hall & Oates, Pavel Bure were going strong, Selanne was coming on the scene with Winnipeg. Then came the strike and then came the trap.
August 25th, 2009
4:25 pm
will someone please tell me a little bit more about this drew macintyre character. i haven't heard much 'bout him.
-chris, great blog, exactly wat ive been waiting for.
sounds like everyone is getting along and things are going smoothly.
August 25th, 2009

August 25th, 2009
4:42 pm
My 5 – Stu "The Tombstone" Grimson, Bob Probert, Rob Ray, Terry O'Reilly, Tony Twist. Best Thrasher fighter's Jeff Odgers and Eric Boulton.
August 25th, 2009
4:53 pm
Interesting discussion Chris. Next time you should try the dirtiest player in the NHL. Now that would be a list.
August 25th, 2009

1. bob probert
2. Dave schultz
3. tie domy
4.Gordie Howe
5. Stu grimson

August 25th, 2009
5:31 pm
Dave Brown would destroy most guys listed above (this guy was tough and am surprised he is not on most lists. I guess most people do not know who he is. Gillies had fun with O'reilly throughout the Islander Bruin playoffs. Nystrom was pound for pound one of your tougher guys. Pound for pound, you have to love Domi and Stan Jonathan of the Boston Bruins. Dave Brown, Clark Gillies, Bob Nystrom, and pound for pound guys Tye Domi, and Stan Jonathan. Dave Brown is a no brainer.
August 25th, 2009
7:19 pm
Interesting. Sutton hasn't sold his house in Atlanta yet?
August 25th, 2009
7:34 pm
I've seen some of these names, but let me toss in a few on favorites.
Denis Potvin, great defenseman but he was also an animal.
Tony Twist-seen him somewhere here.
Stu Grimson-the Grim Reaper
Stan Jonathan-
LArru Robinson (kicked Dave Schultz's ass on national TV in 75)
Terry O'Reilly
John Wensink
Val James and Jim Schoenfeld (for you older Sabres fans)
Enrico Ciccone
Gordie Lane (Islanders)
Chris Nilan
Cam Neely
Wendal Clark
Rick Tocchet
Chris Simon
Brad May
Matt Barnady
Kevin Maguire
Paul Laus
Scott Mellanby (in his prime)
Lyle Odelein
Mike Peluso
Dave Manson
Jerry Korab
And Ogie Oglethorpe
August 25th, 2009
7:38 pm
The story I hear about Domi and Ray is they were in the same hotelk room when they were braing in, becuase they had the same agent. They got into in int he hotel room, break the room to pieces.
The Stan Jonathan – Pierre Bouchard fight is the best one I ever saw. Jonathan was about 5′9″, Bouchard 6′3″. Jonnathan destroyed Bouchard, opened a gash on his head. John D'Amico was the linseman breaking the fight up, John D was covered with Bouchard blood.
Vote for the best linseman of all time– John D'Amico for sure, Neil Armstrong 2nd.
August 25th, 2009
7:42 pm
Jonathan/Bouchard-OK, so it's not the best fight, but it's pretty good
August 25th, 2009
7:49 pm
August 25th, 2009
7:53 pm
Add Al Secord and Nick Fotiu
Boogaard would probably be my no. 1 right now
August 25th, 2009
8:10 pm
Darcy Hordichuk has to be in there
August 25th, 2009
8:25 pm
Although you may (or may not) give him the crown because of the whole cokeface thing. Still, I've never seen anybody just demolish people the way Probert did.
Semenko was good, but the only guy I'd say that gives Probert a true run for the money is Twist.
Also, Stu Grimmson was bad@ss.
But still, it's Probert(*)
August 25th, 2009

Vivi – Well done on the Boults/Thor article! I tend to enjoy the fighting aspect of hockey more than many, and I definitely enjoyed that article.

1:56 am
Toughest guy once he got his man in the stands? Had to be Terry O`Reilly. And why didn`t somebody vote for Berry Beck.
August 26th, 2009
2:54 am
Tiger Williams, Tony Twist, Bob Probert, Georges Laraque, Donald Brashear. Have to give the old and new credit. To be honest, any guy to drop the gloves deserves an applause.
Does Andy Sutton still live in Atlanta? Summer here?
I think you should definitely add a note to clarify the Kwiatkowski situation and the withdrawn contract due to his agreement with St. Petersburg.
August 26th, 2009
6:00 am
Focusing on the Thrashers, Exelby barely rates in my opinion:
1- Odgers
2 – Boulton
3 – Hordichuk
4 – Lessard
5 – Exelby
6 – Sutton
I don't remember Lambert's years too well, how was when finally throwing down? How about Tamer? Anyone I'm missing?
Exelby's first fight was nice, but he kinda went downhill from the KO standard he set so early. After the Hollweg incident he's been circling the drain in regards to fight quality, in my opinion (though, understandably so).
August 26th, 2009
8:19 am
I'd add that Kovalchuk fights are great, though few and far between.
How about Brayden Coburn? It was quite humorous watching him get his ass beat.
August 26th, 2009
8:22 am
Oh my, Brayden Coburn… I remember this fight oh too well.
August 26th, 2009
8:25 am
Here's a great fight between Denny Lambert and Eric Boulton (BUF)… enjoy!

9:09 am
Hahaha I bet that was worth the price of admission. Kinda funny. When there was no news, the offseason dragged by and I thought sure I couldnt be more ready for the season to start. But now that theres been a little more lately, I believe Id have to say that I was wrong.
Just for fun, you should do a blog on who fights first for the Thrashers this season, and whom they fight. My prediction is that Boulton and Janssen fight on October 8th in St. Louis. That could be a real good one, two marathon counter-punchers who are about the same size and all.
August 26th, 2009

Going back to the goalie issue… was searching for some clips of Drew McIntyre… there's a good amount on Youtube… just do a search for 'Drew McIntyre Admirals'… otherwise, you'll be weeding through a lot of WWE wrestling clips.
You'll see a lot of acrobatic saves by McIntyre along the lines of the Donkey Kong save by Nurminen… but this is one of the more impressive one's I've seen on his technique…

World Be Free, thanks for the link to the Bogo article.
I always try to see what would get a player in the top 30 since there are 30 teams in the league that would make them all-star material if they were the best per team).
For a forward they need to get to around a point per game (say 78 points in 82 games) to get in the top 30. For a defenseman they need to get ~1/2 point/game (say 40 points in 82 games). Then some forwards will blow away that rate and score 100 points or some defensemen like Lidstrom or Green will get a point/game. But Bogosian is doing very well at that rate. His +/- is very well too which I didn't catch how well he did there last season until I saw his +11 in 39 games.
August 26th, 2009
12:06 pm
Two words. Troy Crowder. He was the biggest, baddest, MOFO to ever strap on skates. He played for the Devils when they wore the Christmas uniforms. I have never seen anyone better. He only lasted a few years but he beat the crap out all of the best fighters of the time. Check out youtube fights of him making Probert, Domi, Baumgartner his b*tch.
6′4 240. All awesome

EOB-I think people will get to know Bogo this year.
Buzilla-we all obviously missed Crowder, good call, he was tough.
We also forgot Goddard from Pittsburgh. I am trying to remember the gorilla that used to protect Mario in Pittsburgh, some big dude they got from the Rangers.
Denis Potvin is still the toughest, craziest dude I can remember int he game. Nobody would challenge him.
August 26th, 2009
1:50 pm
WBF, Mario had Ulf Samuelson back then. He also had Kevin Stevens on his line who was a gorilla that racked up PIM but never dropped the gloves that much back then. Playing with Jagr & Lemeiux he was also a pt/gm player. Both of those guys went to the Rangers along with Jagr but none of them came from NYR to Pittsburgh.
August 26th, 2009
1:53 pm
EOB-there was another dude who was a monster and I forget his name. Will reserach tonight. Ulf was not a fighter, Stevens was and a good all around player.
August 26th, 2009
2:16 pm
WBF, I am curious now as to who you are thinking about. That team was loaded with names back then. Ulf was more of a cheap shot artist but he did get in a lot of fights back then. I am trying to think of who was the big star that he kneed and knocked out of the playoffs. I was gonna say Roenick but I thought he got elbowed in the jaw by someone else? Now I'm trying to think who from the Dallas Stars got in a similar incident. Help me out here it's getting fuzzy.

y top 5 enforcers- Probert, Dave "Cement Head" Semenko, Stu "The Grim Reaper" Grimson, Clark Gillies and Jack Carlson of the North Stars. Terrific left handed puncher.
August 26th, 2009
4:13 pm
Just saw this on yahoo.
According to The State of Hockey News, the worst fans in the NHL are:
No. 30 Atlanta Thrashers: "The Thrashers online presence is very small and that does little to help a team that many in Atlanta seem to struggle to remember they are even there. That sound you just heard was Ilya Kovalchuk(notes) screaming over the fact he has at least one more season with the team."
I have to disagree. I think nontraditional hockey markets have some of the best fans. It is easy to be a fan in Canada or Boston or Detroit. We here in Atlanta are constantly fighting an uphill battle. People look at us like we are crazy when we profess our love of hockey, yet Phillips Arena still draws an average of over 14000 fans a game. If the article was trying to indicate which team had the "least" fans, than they could pick on Atlanta, Florida, and Phoenix, but what kind of subjective survey did they use to determine best and worst? Just because a bunch of Penguins fans get the number 87 tatooed on their backsides does not make them good fans. And I am willing to bet half of the morons that show up to a Thrashers/ Red Wings game at phillips with a detroit jersey on cant name more than four players on the roster.
August 26th, 2009
4:41 pm
j nes, I read that article too. I found it flawed because while I agree with dropping Colorado to 26th because the moment their team started doing bad they stopped showing up. Wysh didn't like that but I have to agree. However, if you are going to do that then why reward the Penguins who had horrible attendance and then when Crosby and company got drafted they started showing up?
I also hate how they put so much of an emphasis on "online presence". I didn't see how that is measured but just because a team like St. Louis doesn't have good online prescense doesn't mean they don't talk about them around the watercooler.

Steve Durbano deserves consideration. Played with Pittsburgh and KC in 1976 and had 310 penalty minutes which led the league (yes, more than anyone on the Broad Street Bullies during that year…).. What's more, he was certifiably insane — a prerequisite for the perfect goon..
August 26th, 2009
5:19 pm
Midfield, Sutton's still waiting for Don Waddell to make him a contract offer. Bah-dum-pum. Sutton did wait a good bit of the 2007 offseason before he came to terms with another club.
Oh, great. Here comes the LITERAL CROWD to tell me Andy Sutton signed a three year deal, at $3 million-a-season, with the NY Islanders. Thanks. Mandy's in his 'contract year,' so perhaps we'll be seeing the BEST of him this season?

August 26th, 2009
9:33 pm
World Be Free, I went and looked at the roster and PIM and I figured it was Caufield or Grant Jennings but I don't remember either one that much. I did though find the info on Ulf's knee-on-knee hit on Cam Neely that I was trying to recall earlier. Now if I can just recall the Roenick incident and the Dallas Stars knee-on-knee debacle. If anyone else knows what I'm trying to think of chime in please, it's like a song that I can't remember the name of.

I don't know about the top 5, but regarding Dave Schultz, I was at the Flames and Flyers game in the Omni In which Schultz challenged Willie Plett. I'm pretty sure Plett was just a rookie then, but Plett beat the crap out of Schultz. This also was the night the benches emptied and both teams fought for what seemed like 20 minutes before the officials get break up all the fights. I'll never forget Dan Bouchard and their goalie skating toward each other and meeting at center ice to duke it out. Definitely one of my favorite Atlanta sports memories!!
August 27th, 2009
8:19 am
Cannot remember EOB, but remember Grant Jennings was a Sabre at the end of his career.
Best fighting goalies? Billy Smith, Steve Shields (Shields could toss them). Andy Brown too -last goalie to NOT wear a mask.
Don't remember the Roenick knee incident, but I do remember Ulfie on Cam.

Ron Hextall has to mentioned when it comes to best goalie fighters. 714 career penalty minutes, I wish I could tell you how many of those were 5 for fighting; I know it has to be a few.

"Ulf was more of a cheap shot artist but he did get in a lot of fights back then. I am trying to think of who was the big star that he kneed and knocked out of the playoffs. I was gonna say Roenick but I thought he got elbowed in the jaw by someone else? Now I'm trying to think who from the Dallas Stars got in a similar incident."
World Be Free, I just pieced it all together, these memories are getting pretty fuzzy. It was Cam Neely that I was thinking of that Ulf knocked out of the playoffs, and essentially forever. The Roenick jaw/knee thing with the Stars? That was Derian Hatcher of Dallas that broke his jaw when he was playing for Phoenix that I was thinking of.
I have to agree with j nes though, Hextall was a loony in the crease, but you know I will give Shields some due.

For fighting goalies I have 2 names to put into the hat. Pasi Nuermanin (sp), and Billy Smith.
As for general fighters I'd think one has to consider John Ferguson and Keith Magnuson. Seems to me Eddie Shore was more of a fight waiting to happen. These are the guys that make one think all star wrestling is not so far off base.
Does anyone remember Francis Lassard? He fought,…but seemed to bleed really bad every time.
When does the puck drop anyway.

World be Free: I see you mentioned Billy Smith earlier. My oversight (and my poor short-term memory).
I'd always thought Gump (Worsley, not Forest) was the last goalie to play sans mask, but I see Wiki disagrees with me (well my memory again). Hard to believe no mask was ever the norm (when did baseball catchers starting wearing cages?). Of course that is back when seat belts were relatively new.
So Shields was a fighter. I wouldn't mind seeing Kari getting in (initiating) a fight, say picking on a forward who hit one of our guys. That would sure send a message to the other players and our fans.
From the AHL fights I've seen,… Boris he can be a real animal. Hope he gets that going in the NHL. When do we play Boston again? (Doesn't he have an IOU to settle with Chara?)
August 29th, 2009

Hookie-Sheilds actually develope the rep of being a goalie would would drop them-watch the Shields/Sean Burke video and the announcers are talking about it.
Andy Brown was the last golaie I can remember that played without a mask. Joe Daley was other one; I can remember Joe Daley with a 60+ save performance in the Sabres' first season in Boston, with no mask.
What would make any goalie want to play without a mask? I guess only a goalie would know.

Hockeybuzz are reporting that the thrashers have invited Manny Legace to training camp. That's now 5 goalies in the mix. What is DW thinking? Trade? Doesn't seem much of a market there at the moment.
September 2nd, 2009
8:57 am
I'd read that we've invited Legace, too. Can you get a confirmation on that one, Chris? Seems a bit odd to me, too, what with the contracts that are in their final year: Kari's contract expires, Moose's contract expires, I think Pavelec too; we signed Drew Mac who a lot expect to get the starter job in Chicago, we signed Manino who's probably also headed for Chi-town; AND invited Legace to camp? Hey I'm all for depth at goal, but I don't know about that either. You've gotta do SOMETHING with the guys whom you don't put on NHL ice, and pulling a Tampa and having upper-echelon guys riding pine or rotting in the minors or essentially pulling a video game-GM sign-and-trade because you brought in too many is a very good way to get a very bad name for your franchise. And we're just beginning to get over that from LAST summer, and the summer before that….

Folks, I'm frantically trying to finish five stories that I have on my plate before training camp starts.

I will put up a new blog tonight or tomorrow and then I leave for a mini-vacation. I have some days left to use. I assume you all would rather I take them now than once the season starts.

I saw Howe fight John Ferguson once and poor Fergie didn't know where the punches were coming from. He was confused. Howe had the sharpest elbows in the league and if went into a corner with him you would come out with sore ribs, if you were lucky. I remember watching a playoff game between Toronto and Boston and Forbes Kennedy went nuts! He fought half the Bruins team. Ted Green twice and even Cheevers in nets. He finally punched a linesman so he was done.

Obligation Rates for the Highway Safety Improvement Program
Best for printing: slorhsip20131001.pdf (121 KB)
To view PDF files, you can use the Acrobat® Reader®.
An obligation is a commitment – the Federal Government's promise to pay the States for the Federal Share of a project's eligible cost. This commitment is generally made as both governments agree to specific expenditures. The distribution of funds using a formula provided in law is called an apportionment. From the federal perspective, the obligation to apportionment rate is a way to represent "spending" and the information below shows spending "rates". The rates are calculated using cumulative apportionment figures rather than funding available which is subject to transfer activities. Using apportionment funding amounts rather than available funding more accurately represents the extent to which states are using the HSIP as a resource.
Federal funding obligation rates are not necessarily a reflection of a state's commitment to safety. There are many other ways to fund safety improvements. This summary does not show why obligations rates are high or low or how safe highways may be in each state. The information below does not show safety improvements that are being planned but not obligated yet, and do not reflect safety spending through other programs such as the Surface Transportation Program (STP) or the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act).
National "Gross" HSIP Obligation Rate from 2006-2013
This graph illustrates ratios of the "gross" Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) cumulative obligations to the cumulative apportionments nationwide (under SAFETEA-LU and MAP-21 combined) from 2006 through 2013 which includes obligations from the two set aside programs - the Railway-Highway Grade Crossing Program (RHGCP) and the High Risk Rural Roads Program (HRRRP). The HRRRP set-aside was not continued in fiscal year 2013 under MAP-21.
Beginning with FY 2014, this obligation website will reflect separate rates for SAFETEA-LU and MAP-21.
Footnote: The FHWA provides stewardship and oversight to States as they administer their Highway Safety Improvement Programs. For more information on current activities in support of safety program improvement please visit: http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/
HSIP Cumulative Obligation vs. Cumulative Apportionments Fiscal Years 2006-2013
This table illustrates ratios of the "gross" Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) cumulative obligations to the cumulative apportionment for each state (under SAFETEA-LU and MAP-21 combined) from 2006 through 2013. This table includes obligations from the two set aside programs - the Railway-Highway Grade Crossing Program (RHGCP) and the High Risk Rural Roads Program (HRRRP). The HRRRP set-aside was not continued in fiscal year 2013 under MAP-21. The rates are cumulative in that they include obligations and apportionments for fiscal years 2006 through 2013. For example, Alabama's 61.3% obligation rate in 2013 reflects the total of HSIP funds obligated through fiscal years 2006-2013 versus the total amount of HSIP funds apportioned from 2006 through 2013.
Funding Transferred to Other Core Programs Fiscal Years 2006-2013
The HSIP is subject to the transfer provision under 23 USC Section 126. Under this provision states are able to transfer up to 50% of their HSIP funds to any other core program. As of September 30, 2013, 26 states took advantage of this provision and transferred just over $887 million in HSIP funding to other programs. This was approximately 11.3% of the transferring states apportionments from 2006 through 2013 and amounts to approximately 6.5% of the total HSIP apportionments for all states from 2006 through 2013.

French colonial administration of Laos
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (October 2013)
The French colonial administration of Laos took place as part of a larger French administration of French Indochina. The French approach might be viewed as one of 'benign neglect', as compared to the contributions of other colonial rulers to their Southeast Asian colonies.
French Territorial Administration[edit]
The French had originally divided central Laos into two administrative districts, Upper Laos and Lower Laos. In 1899, both districts were integrated into a single administration. In 1904 and 1905, Laos was deprived of the southern plateaus, previously part of its territory. Under the Convention of 13 February 1904 that modified the 3 October 1893 Treaty that concluded the Franco-Siamese War, French Laos gained control of the right-bank section of Luang Phrabang and part of the right-bank territory of Champasak from Siamese King Rama V.
Subsequently, the French reestablished Laos as a political entity in the middle Mekong Valley, extending from southern China to the Khong falls on the Cambodian border. Detachment of the left-bank territorial administration from Annam was based on budgetary necessity in the new French Indochina.
Through their colonial administration of Laos, the French had sponsored the notion of modern nationhood amongst the disparate Lao territories, primarily in an attempt to remove the Lao people from the cultural orbit of neighbouring Siam, which the French suspected to be increasingly aspired of creating a 'Greater Siam' made up of all Tai-speaking territories.
French Civil Administration[edit]
The colonial government was staffed by several hundred French civil servants at any given time, headed by a Résident supérieur based in Vientiane. The résident supérieur had direct authority over the provincial résidents, who were on an equal status with the Lao chao khoueng (provincial governors). The résident supérieur also acted as ambassador of the French state to the king of Luang Prabang and supervised the kingdom's administration through provincial commissioners.
The affairs of the kingdom were managed by a four-member council headed by the viceroy. Whilst the royal court in Luang Prabang continued to manage its own affairs, the day-to-day running of the territories was entrusted largely to French, Vietnamese and Laotian civil servants in Vientiane, subordinate to the résident supérieur.
Nature of French colonial Laos[edit]
Laos hence became a low-key French protectorate, where an indolent lifestyle prevailed. It was too mountainous for plantations, there was little in the way of mining, and the Mekong was unsuitable for commercial navigation. The French built very few roads – the main colonial route constructed was from Luang Prabang through Vientiane to Savannakhet and the Cambodian frontier.
The French built no higher-education facilities; some half-hearted attempts were made to cultivate rubber and coffee, but the main export under the French was opium. Only a few hundred French resided in Laos. They adopted a dissolute lifestyle with Laotian or Annamite consorts, and left the administration to Vietnamese civil servants. The king was allowed to remain in Luang Prabang, trade was left to the resident Vietnamese and Chinese, and the Laotians carried on farming as they had for hundreds of years.
During the colonial period, administration, health care and education hardly made significant impact or progress at all. Given that there was no industry to speak of and agriculture was barely self-sufficient, there was little money for infrastructural development such as roads, schools and hospitals. The only prominent change for the Laotian people was the repression of the indigenous trade and the more onerous presence of tax collectors, which were a frequent cause of revolts.[1]
In the lowlands, uprisings were harshly repressed, but in the highlands of Xieng Khuang and Bolovens Plateaus, the French found it difficult to deploy their heavy weaponry. At times, a remission of taxes led to pacification of such revolts. The only real growth brought about by the French colonial administration was the monopoly of opium sales, an industry that is still dominant in the Laotian economy.

I can't wait to listen to sports talk radio today here in Philadelphia, as I'm sure it will be a blood-bath calling for the firing of Andy Reid, the benching of Michael Vick and a slew of other venomous demands.Last night's game played right into everything that has been said about the Eagles this season.We saw issues in the red zone for Philadelphia while we saw a passing attack from Drew Brees that is as flawless as any in the history of the game.A few things really stood out to me, and it's not what you would think. Here are five things we learned.Its Not All Michael Vick's FaultLet me repeat that: ITS NOT ALL MICHAEL VICK'S FAULT!Over and over again I hear calls for Vick's benching, as if it is a deserved punishment for an interception or a fumble. None of that makes sense. What Philly fans seem to be in denial about is the fact that Vick's turnovers aren't the reason the team is losing.I've watched every Eagles game this season, and I have yet to see a Vick turnover that di...

Selected odds from our betting partner, Paddy Power.
Everton face Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park on Saturday evening and are 1/3 favourites with Paddy Power to advance through to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
The season's draw hasn't been overly kind to David Moyes' side who take to the road for the third game in succession. However, they go into the game with five wins and two draws in their last seven away games in the competition.
>>>Check out all match markets and new accounts can avail of a free £20 bet once they place an initial £10!
The Toffees were 5-1 winners at Cheltenham Town and overcame Bolton Wanderers 2-1 in the last round and are 33/1 and 7/1 with Paddy Power to win by either of those scorelines on Saturday.
Everton scored the opening goal in both of those aforementioned wins and are 3/10 to break the deadlock against League One Oldham who shocked Liverpool 3-2 at Boundary Park in the previous round.
Nikica Jelavic got the opening goal against Cheltenham in the 13th minute and the Croatian international is 4/1 to score first against the Latics.
Steven Pienaar set the Toffees on their way against Bolton with an 18th-minute strike and the South African midfielder is 9/1 to score first again on Saturday evening.
Everton are 8/5 to score the first goal up to and including minute 23 and 6/4 to score the first goal after that with Paddy Power, who also make the visitors 8/11 to win the first half and 7/5 to score exactly one first-half goal.
Paddy Power make Everton 5/6 on the handicap betting (-1) and 23/10 (-2) to overcome Oldham.
England international Leighton Baines scored from the spot against Cheltenham and Paddy Power bet 6/4 that a penalty will be awarded in Saturday's game and 10/3 that Everton will score from the spot.
Marouane Fellaini is the club's top scorer in the Barclays Premier League with 10 goals and the Belgian international – on the mark for the Toffees' fifth strike against Cheltenham in the third round – is 4/1 to be the last goalscorer of the game.
Everton supporters will be just 90 minutes away from Wembley if their side overcome Oldham and Paddy Power make the Toffees 13/2 to win the FA Cup for the first time since 1995.

It also controls access to various facilities, such as self-registration in IT Services and systems such as conference room booking in other departments. This password has a lifetime of one year from the time you change it.
- Use the Change Password facility in Webauth to make a routine change when you know your old password.
- If you have not already done so, you are strongly recommended to Set a Security Question. If you subsequently forget your password, this will allow you to recover the situation yourself without having to contact IT Services. This can save you a lot of trouble if you are regularly away from Oxford.
- You can Reset a Forgotten Password using Webauth, provided you have already set a security question. You can also use this mechanism if your password has expired, but not if your account has expired. Please note: You have 3 chances to answer your security question correctly before you are locked out of the system. If you cannot answer your security question please contact the Help Centre.
- If you have forgotten your password and have not set a security question, you will need to obtain a Rescue Code.
- If you have forgotten your password and the answer to your security question, you will need to obtain a Rescue Code.
- If you have to use a Rescue Code, you will need to set a Security Question before you can reset your forgotten password.
- If you have a registration letter but the activation code has expired, contact the Help Centre to have the activation code renewed for a further 30 days.
- If you do not have your registration letter (for example, if it went astray), you will need a new Activation Code. Obtain this in the same way as for a Rescue Code.
5.2. Other IT Services accounts
5.2.1. Remote Access
The self-registration web page can be used for routine changes to Remote Access passwords. The procedure is the same as for resetting a forgotten password - see below.
5.2.2. TSM backup
Routine changes to your TSM password must be done using the client software on your workstation. If your TSM password has expired, you can use the self-registration web page to set a new one in the same way as for a forgotten password.
5.2.3. Forgotten passwords (for IT Services-administered accounts)
If you have forgotten your password for Remote Access, or TSM , you can use the self-registration web page to set a new one. You will need to give your Oxford username and password to authenticate the process. See Changing password - Oxford account above if you have forgotten your Oxford username or password. This method of authentication is high-security and is safe to use world-wide.
5.3. How to obtain a Rescue Code
To obtain a Rescue Code, contact the IT Services Help Centre or your IT Support Officer. The options are:
- Registered IT Support Staff are able to set rescue codes for their local users without needing to contact IT Services.
- IT Services can help as described below. If these options are not suitable (for example, if you are away from Oxford), you must contact IT Support Staff in your college or department.
- You can visit the IT Services Help Centre in person with your University Card to be given a rescue code immediately.
- Telephone or, preferably, email the Help Centre and a rescue code will be sent to your registered college or departmental address by University Messenger.
- If you have a non-IT Services email account registered with IT Services for one of your .ox.ac.uk email addresses (e.g. on a local college or department mail system) a rescue code can be emailed to you there.
- If you have previously registered an "alternative email address" via the IT Services self-registration pages, a rescue code can be emailed to you there.

Modern Art Oxford hosts Michael Sailstorfer's first solo presentation in the UK, comprising mixed-media sculptural interventions exploring notions of flight, movement and displacement. These works often involve a shift in the context of objects, exploring themes such as movement and stasis, deconstruction and dispersal, lightness and weight.
Manipulations of Form, Weight and Volume: Michael Sailstorfer, Modern Art Oxford
Review by Matt Swain
Francis Alÿs: A Story of Deception, MoMA, New York.
Francis Alÿs: A Story of Deception at The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 opens on 8 May, drawing upon MoMA's unique and important collection of work by Belgian artist Francis Alÿs (b. 1959), who uses poetic and allegorical methods to explore the social realities of political concepts, including the cyclical nature of change in modernizing societies, the urban landscape, and patterns of economic progress. Alÿs's personal, ambulatory explorations of cities form the basis for his practice, through which he compiles extensive documentation reflecting his process, producing complex and diverse bodies of work that include video, painting, performance, drawing, and photography. Organized in collaboration with Alÿs, this exhibition is conceptually grouped around three major recent acquisitions— Re-enactments (2001), When Faith Moves Mountains (2002), and Rehearsal I (Ensayo I) (1999–2001)— each on view for the first time at the Museum. Using the mechanics of rehearsal and re-enactment in urban environments, Alÿs comments on the politics of public space with both solitary actions and large-scale collaborations, where the culmination of many small acts achieves mythic proportions.

Volkswagen has decided to join forces with Suzuki to battle it out against Toyota. Why, you ask? Well, up until the recall fiasco, Toyota was one of the largest producers of automobiles and Volkswagen felt it was about time to knock them off their high horse. Suzuki apparently agreed and so the Rocktan SUV was born.
As the new VW/Suzuki joint venture, the Rocktan is a low-cost SUV based on the Suzuki SX-4 that will compete with models like Nissan Juke and the Toyota Urban Cruiser . It will be placed between the CrossPolo and the Tiguan and will also be considered as a replacement for the Golf Plus CrossGolf.
Under the hood the Rocktan will almost certainly be equipped with Volkswagen's own 1.4 TSI petrol and their 1.6 TDI and 2.0 TDI. Other details have yet to be released solely because no one is sure if this car will ever see production.
This SUV will give consumers a low cost alternative to the seemingly high priced SUVs on the market. The price for the Rocktan is also VW and Suzuki's biggest ace in the hole: the Rocktan will be sold for under 20,000 Euros.
Stay tuned for more details!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Osmond dazzles crowd, sits fourth after short program
Canadian's medal hopes alive heading into free skate
LONDON, Ont. -- Alicia Keys' Girl on Fire played over the P.A. system as Canadian Kaetlyn Osmond stepped onto the ice for what would be a memorable world championship debut.
She calmly stroked in a wide circle before taking her starting pose as Keys sang "Looks like a girl, but she's a flame. So bright, she can burn your eyes."
The 17-year-old from Marystown, N.L., who has people in the sport raving about her rare ability to thoroughly dazzle a crowd, did just that Thursday. She finished fourth in the short program with her sassy mambo program -- just a year after she was 10th at the world junior championships.
"She loves the spotlight, she loves to compete, she's always been like that," said Ravi Walia, Osmond's coach since she was 10.
Now she heads into Saturday's free skate within striking distance of a medal behind Olympic champion Kim Yu-Na of South Korea, who scored 69.97 points to win the short program in her first major international appearance in two years. Defending world champion Carolina Kostner of Italy was second with 66.86, while Japan's Kanako Murakami was third with 66.64.
Osmond, in black sequined dress, her black hair pulled into a tight ponytail, scored 64.73, opening with a big triple toe loop-triple toe loop combination, then charging straight into a triple flip, and then a double Axel. In between she shimmied her shoulders, swivelled her hips and played to the audience, her huge smile barely leaving her face.
"She's like an artist, she's very special," Walia said. "But then at the same time she's technically very strong."
There wasn't a hint of nerves, thanks partly to Walia's pre-skate speech.
"Before I skated, we came up with a little joke -- the less I think the better it is," Osmond said, clutching a huge Minnie Mouse doll, a gift from a fan. "And then going into my program, every time I went into a jump, I was thinking 'No brain, no brain.' And it worked."
Osmond began skating in Marystown, which boasts about 5,500 people, a shipyard and a fish plant. The town recently erected a "Welcome to Marystown: Home of Kaetlyn Osmond" sign.
"My sister called me and said she'd just passed my sign and got so excited," said Osmond, whose sister Natasha, a former skater, still lives there.
At the age of 10, she moved to Edmonton where she trained at the West Edmonton Mall in virtual anonymity until she won Skate Canada International this past fall in her Grand Prix debut, then followed it up with a victory at the Canadian championships.
Now shoppers will stop and watch. Some cheer. A couple of weeks ago a boys chamber choir from Newfoundland stopped by to serenade Osmond with '50s pop song A Teenager in Love.
Osmond more than held her own against the world's best with her dazzling performance Thursday, making it easy to forget she's only 17.
Walia said he's careful to keep her skating fun.
"I want her to be the top and I'm thinking that way, but for her to skate her best, its not necessarily what she has to think about, she has to enjoy herself," the coach said. "That's what got her to this point in the first place."
The 39-year-old coach, a former Canadian bronze medallist, said Osmond is an easy skater to coach simply because of her love of performing.
"Other skaters you could see before the events would get a little nervous. She would come to the rink saying, 'Only 13 more days to the competition,' " Walia said. "She would mark off the days on the calendar. Every one else is getting stressed out at the rink and she's excited. That's just her personality.
"And it hasn't changed, as the events continued to get bigger it's stayed."
The Grade 12 student -- she attends school in the mornings and trains in the afternoons -- said she was buoyed by the strong performances of her Canadian teammates so far in London, skating on the heels of Patrick Chan's world-record skate in the short program a night earlier.
"It gave me more confidence realizing how well they did, and I thought I want to part of this, I want to do as well as they did," she said. "It definitely helped with my confidence today."
Walia brought the young skater to the rink on Wednesday so she could get a feel for the boisterous Canadian crowd. He instructed her to take her time before she struck her opening pose, giving the crowd a chance to calm down before she started.
"The crowd was unbelievable, they're so into everything and they were cheering so loudly that it... reminded me to enjoy the experience," she said. "Even if there was part of my program that I couldn't actually hear because of the crowd, at least I know my program well enough to know that I was on time."

Frequently Asked Questions
A grace period is the period of time that a license holder may renew their license rather than reapply for their license. C.R.S. 12-6-110(3)(e) allows for a 30 day grace period.
If your license has expired and so has the grace period, you will need to re-apply. This requires a new application. See the Licensing page for more details on how to apply for license. Note that you will be required to follow all of the requirements listed (this includes financials, bond, mastery exam, pre-licensing certificate etc.) and will be assigned a new dealer number.
All natural persons receiving a benefit from the State of Colorado must provide a secure and verifiable identification and an affidavit on restriction of public benefits. This would mean salespeople, the principals involved in a dealership or manufacturer, etc, would need to provide this information upon application for a license and at renewal.
Manufacturer Plates are issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles and not the Auto Industry Division. To obtain plates, you will need to fill out form DR 2670 and submit it to the Division of Motor Vehicles.

UNDATED (WKZO) -- Blood drives across the state have been canceled in the past few weeks as about 200 Red Cross workers are on strike. The unions that represent these employees are negotiating with the Great Lakes Red Cross organization on healthcare benefits, and more talks are set for Wednesday and Thursday.
However, in the meantime, what happens with scheduled collection drives remains up in the air. Monica Stoneking, with the Red Cross, says that you've got to check to see if a drive you had planned on attending might be canceled. She says they usually wait until 24 hours before to cancel. If they do settle with the union, they will want to have blood collections, so they can go back to work.
So, she says you should check RedCrossBlood.org, or called 1-800-Red-Cross to find out if a drive you'd planned to be at will still be happening. While this strike continues, Stoneking says the Great Lakes region of the Red Cross is relying on other regions to keep its blood supply adequate for demand.

New Toronto Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri has made his impact felt early and often with the team and he could potentially be working towards completing a deal that would send Rudy Gay to the Detroit Pistons.
While Gay may be one of the team's players, it looks like the Raptors are content tanking the season for a shot at Andrew Wiggins rather than looking to be competitive.
In that regard, a move would make complete sense.
Marc Stein of ESPN.com passed along the news:
My man @WindhorstESPN reporting that Pistons have offered expiring deals of Rodney Stuckey and Charlie Villanueva to Toronto for Rudy Gay
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 3, 2013
If this is the deal that officially goes through, it is hard to say that the Raptors don't come away on top.
Whether or not a deal actually takes place remains to be seen, but we should expect some intense trade talks as both sides look to make things work.
Free agency kicked off just after midnight on Monday, so be sure to stay tuned to FanSided.com throughout the free agency period as we keep you up to date with the latest news and rumors from around the league.

Bringing Instagram to Life with @joselourenco
With small pieces of cardboard and a dash of acrylic paint, Portuguese artist José Lourenço (@joselourenco) is bringing the Instagram app to life.
Nine weeks ago, José posted his first play on Instagram symbology—a simple screenshot of the comment, like and follow notification that he captioned "two hearts." He liked that first post so much that he started thinking of ways to bring Instagram design elements into three dimensions. With the introduction of Photos of You, the idea really took flight. José created custom Photos of You labels for the clouds, houses, trees and even giraffes.
For José, these posts add a new angle to the way he shares the world around him. "With the symbols I can create new universes and recreate elements of world history like Atlantis and The Thinker." He is always looking for the right scene to match his designs: "The symbols are all designed at scale for the scene I photograph or video and are very light and easy to carry around. Yes, I carry the symbols with me all the time!" To see more of José's creations, be sure to follow him @joselourenco on Instagram.
Enjoy The Dark Side

Instantgram.me allows you to print Instagram images onto magnets. Time to get those photos outta your smartphone and onto your family and friends fridge.
The 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model was leaked earlier today with Kate Upton appearing topless in Antarctica for the "Polar Bare' themed shoot. It's her third consecutive appearance as the cover model joining an illustrious list of models who appeared on the cover multiple years in a row. The big surprise was scheduled to be revealed on The Late Show with David Letterman on Monday, February 11, but there will be no surprise anymore. The issue will be out on newsstands February 12, and we feel Alabama bombshell Katherine Webb should have been on the cover, but congrats to Kate Upton!
