Rangers leave Florida on a high note
by Staff Writer / New York RangersRangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist's 40 saves earned him his fourth career shutout against the Florida Panthers. Lundqvist's shutout was also his third of the season and 27th of his NHL career. |

By Jim Cerny, newyorkrangers.com
After surrendering five goals through the first two periods on Wednesday night in Tampa, Henrik Lundqvist was approached by Rangers head coach John Tortorella and asked if he wanted to come out of the game. Lundqvist was adamant about remaining in the contest, looking to finish on a strong note that he could hopefully carry into his next start.
Lundqvist executed that plan to perfection, stopping all nine shots he faced in the third period of Wednesday's 5-3 loss, and then used it as a springboard to an outstanding 40-save effort on Friday night, when the Rangers defeated the Florida Panthers 3-0 at the BankAtlantic Center.
"We need him tonight and I think he played very well," Tortorella said of Lundqvist. "I think we are a tired team from the number of games and travel we've gone through. So it was certainly important the way Hank played tonight."
The shutout was the third this season for Lundqvist, who now has 27 in his career. It was the fourth time that Lundqvist has blanked the Panthers, who had a goal disallowed with 9:28 remaining in the third period because of a hand-pass on the play.
"It's a big relief for me because I want to help the team get wins," said Lundqvist. "When I am not winning or playing well it bothers me a lot. Winning and playing well makes me feel a lot better that's for sure. This was a great road win for us."
Sharp from the first drop of the puck on Friday, Lundqvist confidently stopped all 15 shots he faced in the first period, including four by Panthers defenseman Dennis Wideman. Not only was Lundqvist good in the opening stanza, he was a bit lucky, too, when Shawn Matthias slid a shot off the post behind the Rangers goaltender.
"You could tell in that first period, it just didn't look like he was going to let one in," said Tortorella. "He looked that solid."
Building upon the solid foundation he established in the first period, Lundqvist stopped all nine shots the Panthers fired at him in the second period, giving him 24 saves through the game's first 40 minutes. His biggest stop in that time came 4:40 into the second when he stretched out his legs as far as he could to rob Mike Santorelli with his left pad on 2-on-1 shorthanded rush.
Rangers rookie forward Derek Stepan continued his remarkable offensive surge by getting the eventual game-winning goal to run his scoring streak to six games. Among NHL rookies, only Carolina's Jeff Skinner has more points than Stepan this season. • MORE PHOTOS |
"It was a fun game, a lot of action," said Lundqvist. "You know, they're a good team. They work hard. They might not have the biggest stars, but they are really a hard-working team. They really gave us a tough time all night."
Despite being outshot 15-5 in the opening period the Rangers scored the only goal of the session to secure a 1-0 advantage they carried all the way into the third period.
After killing off Sean Avery's double minor for high-sticking, the Rangers struck for an extremely opportunistic goal. An interception in their own end led to a rush up ice where Marc Staal fed Avery, just out of the penalty box, flying down right wing. Avery hammered a hard shot on net that was kicked out by Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen. But Derek Stepan was right there to collect the rebound and fire it into the back of the cage for his sixth goal, giving the Rangers a 1-0 lead at 10:06 of the first.
The goal, Stepan's second in as many games, gave the rookie center points in six consecutive games. Stepan now has 14 points, three behind Carolina's Jeff Skinner for the league-lead in scoring among first-year players.
The Rangers held on to that lead behind the strong play of Lundqvist and a stout performance by the club's penalty killing unit, which finished the night a perfect 5-for-5 after surrendering three power play goals to the Lightning on Wednesday.
"It's a long season and different things happen, so we just tried to put (Wednesday) night out of our minds," said Brian Boyle. "There was nothing we could do about it once the game was over, but the only thing we could do was bounce back. And I think we did a pretty good job on the PK tonight."
Several minutes after killing off another penalty early in the third period, the Rangers were able to score a power-play goal of their own at 5:24 to double their advantage over the Panthers. Ryan Callahan, with is back to the net, redirected Erik Christensen's pass in the high slot past Clemmensen for his sixth goal, an extremely critical one at that.
The Rangers, who were 1-for-2 with the man-advantage in Florida, have now scored at least one power-play goal in a season-best four consecutive games.
Brandon Prust iced the game by scoring his first goal of the season -- a shorthanded tally -- with 5:35 remaining.
The strong special teams play, along with Lundqvist's superb play in goal, provided for a feel-good bounce-back win just two nights after starting this current road trip with a tough loss. The Rangers have now won three of their last four games and six-of-nine heading into the finale of the road trip Saturday night in Nashville against the Predators.

Paul Rodgers Thanks Skynyrd for Meeting Wife
Bad Company's joint dates with Lynyrd Skynyrd are shaping up to be one of the hottest double bills on the road this summer. Each band's set is expected to hit some major career highlights as both bands celebrate their 40th anniversaries on the road together. Since reuniting in 2001, Bad Company has only played 11 isolated performances, and has not staged a North American tour until now.
The band features original members frontman Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs, and drummer Simon Kirke. Joining them on the road is second guitarist Howard Leese and Rodgers' solo bassist Todd Ronning.
Paul Rodgers says the guys in Lynyrd Skynyrd were actually responsible for another kind of career highlight — introducing him to his current wife Cynthia Kereluk — a fitness guru and both a former Miss Canada and Miss Universe: "About 15 years ago I was touring with them as a solo artist, and they kept saying, 'Wait 'til we get to Vancouver, we're gonna introduce ya to Cynthia. And I kept saying, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah,' and they were, 'No, no, really' — I'm like, 'Yeah, yeah, sure.' And so they did, and well, y'know, the rest is history. We got on like a house on fire. They had a feeling that we would just get along great. And yeah, it worked out, it's fantastic."

text: The 2015 Chrysler 200 Aims To Make You Forget The Sebring ForeverPatrick George1/13/14 8:15amFiled to: 2015 Chrysler 200Detroit Auto Show1886EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink A nine-speed automatic transmission. A 295-horsepower V6 with standard all-wheel drive. An impressive interior and exterior design. With the new 2015 Chrysler 200, even the most hardened haters of the last 200 will have to admit that Chrysler did it right this time. The official specs and even more photos of the new 200 dropped this morning. The more I see of this car, the more I dig it. According to our pals at Allpar, there's four models: the base LX, the fancier Limited, the more sport-oriented 200S, and the top-of-the-line 200C. Power comes from either the 2.4-liter Tigershark four with 184 horsepower or the beefy 3.6-liter Pentastar with 295 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard on the base models, but all-wheel drive that sends up to 60 percent of power to the rear tires can be had with the V6 200S and 200C. Chrysler says both ride quality and durability are improved over the old car. Advertisement Advertisement The last 200 was passed off as a luxury machine, but it's fair to say it wasn't a real competitor. The new one does a lot better with options like a panoramic sunroof, HID headlights, an "E-shift" rotary dial gear shifter, an 8.4-inch touch screen with Chrysler's excellent UConnect system and plenty of other goodies. Here's the best part: They kept it pretty affordable. Prices start at $21,700 for the base LX and go up to just $25,995 for the 200C. Considering all you get, that's really not bad. It looks good on the inside too, and it's attractive on the outside in a sleek and understated way. But how will it drive? That remains to be seen, but I'd say it's off to a pretty good start so far. Onward and upward, Chrysler 200. Reply188 repliesLeave a reply

Look closely at what makes Easter Seals unique from other health and human services providers, and it becomes clear: Easter Seals' greatest strength comes from the people who are Easter Seals. Relationships between therapists and clients, between teachers and preschoolers, between staff and parents, and between volunteers and staff. Helping children and adults with disabilities gain greater independence involves whole individuals, whole families and support systems.
Corporate sponsors, volunteers, staff, and national representatives share their commitments to Easter Seals and creating solutions that change the lives of people with disabilities.

Kelly Whaley, program manager of Cranston Community Learning Center, was recently selected to serve as an after-school ambassador by the Afterschool Alliance. Whaley is one of 12 ambassadors selected from across the country who will serve a one-year term assisting the alliance in creating additional support for after-school programs. Whaley, who serves 200 students in Cranston's public schools, holds bachelor's degrees in public relations and communications, and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Rhode Island.
PBN: How long have you been working in after-school programs, and what is it about your work you enjoy?
WHALEY: I have been working in the after-school field for almost three years now. One part of my job I enjoy most is collaborating with members of the community and school personnel. Whether it be advocating together for our programs or building relationships that enable us to better service students, it is always exciting to work with people who are equally committed to effecting positive change. But, really, I have to say, the kids are pretty awesome, too.
PBN: Why do afterschool programs need support from their communities?
WHALEY: After-school programs are an incredible resource to the communities they serve. Not only for students, but also for schools and working families. After-school programs can engage students in learning in fun and innovative ways that can bolster their academic achievement in the regular school day. But also, [after-school programs are] a safe place parents can trust their children are having fun, being productive and engaging in positive and enriching opportunities while they are at work.
PBN: Now that you're an ambassador, what kinds of plans are in the works for your term?
WHALEY: First, I am working with the Rhode Island Afterschool Plus Alliance to highlight Cranston's after-school programs. ... I will continue to advocate for after-school [programs] throughout my entire term as ambassador. I look forward to working with the school community and the state's afterschool network to raise awareness of the incredible need for more quality after-school programs that better service our youth and families. •

Bigg Boss contestant Rajev Paul is angry about a fake Twitter handle in his name. "Vrajesh Hirjee told me about this account (@irajevpaul). He asked me what's wrong and why was I lambasting everyone," he says.
The actor was shocked to read the lewd messages sent to industry folks. "Someone is out to malign me. This account was activated right after I left the show. If the tweets were funny I might have let it be but they were vulgar. This is not done," says Rajev.
Rajev Paul didn't know there would be another controversy waiting for him soon after his eviction from Bigg Boss.
The fake account that was created on January 11, looks authentic with pictures of him partying with actor Sana Khan.
Rajev says, "Whatever pictures I upload on my account, the impersonator puts them up too. The handle also has many other photographs from events which are available on the Internet. The person has also had verbal fights with many celebrities, including my friends."
To control this menace, Rajev has filed a complaint with Twitter and the Cyber Crime Cell too. He has put out the information on his real twitter handle @Rajev_Paul.
"People who know me and have seen me on Bigg Boss know that if I have something to say, I would rather say it to their face than via another medium. I hope people realise it isn't me," he says.

Their family history is interesting as there is a period of time that their family resided in Indian Territory in Oklahoma as well as West Texas before returning to Esperanza, Mississippi(the old name for Hurricane).
Clarenda Parrish of Sand Springs hosted a luncheon at her home on August 18. Those from out of state that attended with members of the Brandon and Montgomery families were as follows: Betty Swords Pierce of Cleveland, Ohio, and Floyce Long, Sandy Williams, Floyce Long, and Leatrice Langston of Memphis.

Quick intro about myself, I'm in the military and just transferred to Hawaii, what better way to commute to work then on a scooter to save gas, $, and enjoy the roads. So i picked this 2012 Zuma off of craiglist for $2700 with 1500 miles on it, and the adventure begins. First night home, all stock. First Mod after 3days of running stock lights : integrated Jdm lights. 9 led cluster is on during daytime for auxiliary and the hid kit provides 60/50w on a 5000k bulb. it's very bright and functional. the stock blinkers have been removed and replaced with red flush mounted led turn signals. removed the front hand guards and stock yellow side markers. Also ordered some highway bars , gonna replace the side markers with all white led ones that function @ 50% daytime lights and @ 100% as side blinkers. included a better pic of the integrated jdm lights. Installed 2 Bros Black Series Exhaust! This exhaust increased the fun factor of this scoot by 300% and makes a mean deep sound. Installed red reflective pinstriping tape on the wheels. Also added white led blinkers/daytime running lights.
welcome amigo!!! you just can't leave it stock could you??? NO I could not either! welcome to the scooter side!!! Something tells me you are not over... right? Have fun and more picstures are always welcome! Damasovi
Ask and you shall receive, highway bars installed. Finished a few mods and got a few others going at the same time as parts are coming in since i last updated this. a full video will be made once i'm all done, pics are just bits and pieces for now. i'm glad i got involved with this site, lots of info and motivation. Competed mods 1. white led side markers install with daytime running lights. 2. 2 Bros Black series exhaust. 3. reflective pin striping on wheels. 4. synthetic oil change over /simota filter changeout 2. whale tale removal/duck lip install 3. blue led speedo/fuel gauge cluster swap 4. Koso afterburner with white signals 5. Xena xx15 disc lock Pics from blue led speedo swapout. Lights off! Super bright in person. Stock tailights removed in preparation for Koso Afterburner install. Installed
Man I'm jealous! I went to college out in Hawaii and back then the scooter science was fantastic! I bet its ever better now. You picked a great bike for modding. I've been lurking on the Zuma forum and there is so much great info. Keep us updated with lots of pics.
I bought a brand new 2012 white Zuma 125, and currently have just over 2000 miles on it. (700 of those miles were from one trip) So far all I have done is add a Shad 33L top box with a Shad rack/mount, and the Yamaha windshield. I definitely plan on the highway pegs, because I have a 34" inseam, and because I want to be able to use the floor space for storage. I also plan on getting the Tourmaster Select saddlebags at some point, to use when needed. I'm keeping the stock lights, but want to rig them up so they are both on at the same time, and possibly add both headlight and brakelight modulators for more visibility. Engine/CVT/exhaust will stay stock for reliability and longevity. Since this is basically a touring rig, I decided to keep the ducktail rear fender, and put something reflective on it.
The highway bars definately made the scooter alot more comfortable to ride, i use it EVERYTIME i ride now, putting my knees side by side just feel so cramped nowadays after the install. If you get the headlight harness for dual headlights make sure you lower both bulbs to 35w as to not overload the battery. Lots of folks leave stock bulbs which are 55w i believe and ended up killing their battery shortly after the changeover, just a thought.
Nice Farkles! love modding every vehicle i own. I really wish someone made a highway peg setup like that for the Scarabeo...
Been awhile since an update. Went for a ride on a nice Sunday here in Honolulu, snap this pic while i was at it. RC Scooters CVT kit is going to be installed this weekend with 10gL/11gS for fast acceleration city riding.
I'm not into modding scooters and motorcycles for looks or performance, it has to be something practical. I did the windshield, rack and top case, and mounted a GPS unit on the bars. I have the footpegs ordered, and made a hook for the center screw in the legshield, to hold a large bag in place on the floor. That's it for me until the tires wear out and I get to try something different.
Every scooter modder does it to meet his own needs. My ride is a daily commuter to work everyday so if it's not quality dependable parts, i am not putting it on. For me this scoot is not meant to be a racing machine on the track by any means but i do like to improve on the fun factor wherever i can. Some things along the way have proved quiet useful like the exhaust which since the install i haven't got cut off once due to not being heard, which happen quite often before since the stock exhaust was way too quiet. The foot pegs was for comfort and i highly recommend it. I also install some "grip puppies" grips over the stock grips and it was a night and day difference as far as vibrations during the ride and the numbness afterward. Best $13 dollars ever spent. The recent CVT upgrade allowed the bike to have alot of acceleration off the line and overall pickup and works great to pass traffic in order to switch lanes. So far everything have held up fine due to the research i do before ordering parts. I also installed a bag hook but i also installed a strap under it in order to snap bags or whatnot that would not stay on the hook. i can provide pics if needed.
