Telescoping boom
Former custom applicator Bob Beggs spent many hours in his sprayer contemplating a better boom design. Four years ago he built a prototype of his idea: a telescoping boom that will shut nozzles on and off as boom lengths are adjusted. "Last year we had 10 units in the field and reports came back with no troubles noted," Beggs says.
Begg's Super Spray Booms are designed to retrofit on all major brands of sprayers and are compatible with any brand of tractor with more than 50 hp that has a Cat. III, 3-pt. hitch. Beggs claims the booms will eliminate overspray and overlap because they shut nozzles on and off while they telescope in and out to avoid obstacles or to accommodate varying row spacing. They can be used with saddle and pull tanks and with a drawbar or 3-pt. hitch. The booms feature an 8-ft. breakaway.
Beggs says a sprayer traveling at 10 mph, equipped with a standard 90-ft. boom, will cover about 109 acres/hr., whereas his 132-ft. system will cover 160 acres/hr. "That's one-third more ground covered but with one-third less wheel traction and less turning," he claims. "A 160-acre field typically is covered in 15 rounds; this system does it in only 10 rounds."
Prices: 60 to 90 ft., $20,950; 74 to 132 ft., $23,200; 80 to 150 ft., $28,950. Prices include complete all-aluminum booms, single dripless nozzle bodies and all plumbing to reach the rear of the machine. Booms are shipped assembled. Check out a short video on the company's Web site of the boom in action. Contact Super Spray Booms, Dept. FIN, N6875 5th Ave., Plainfield, WI 54966, 800/354-1136, www.superspraybooms.com.
7 key points of a contract for IP grain
Contracts for identity-preserved (IP) products will help ensure that all parties involved are satisfied and responsibility isn't dropped in your lap. But make sure you read and understand the contract before you sign.
Know the delivery schedule: You could be squeezed for cash flow because you are left holding the crop for a long time.
Pricing is key: Is it just a delivery contract with pricing to be determined off the market at delivery? Or is some or all of the crop priced at the time the contract is signed? Find out if you are paid a premium for grain segregation.
Know the point of delivery and assumption of freight charges.
Be aware of minimum grade and understand the terms of the contract should the delivered grain fall below minimum grade.
Know who does the grading and whether there is a conflict resolution mechanism in the case of a grade dispute.
Find out the tolerance levels for foreign matter.
Make sure the contractor is licensed and bonded.

Control soybean fungi
The EPA has approved new labels for use of Quadris on soybeans. It can be used in-furrow or banded to control soilborne diseases in soybeans.
The maker of the fungicide, Syngenta, has labeled it for foliar application at a rate of 6.2 to 15.4 oz./acre on soybeans to control aerial blight, and 12.3 to 15.4 oz./acre to control anthracnose, Alternaria leaf spot, brown spot, Cercospora blight, and leaf spot, among others. The higher rates should be used under conditions favorable for severe disease pressure, dense plant canopies or when susceptible varieties are planted. No more than two applications of Quadris should be made per growing season.
The company also announces a new formulation of Gramoxone. You can treat more acres with 1 gal. of Gramoxone Max; it contains 3 lbs. of active ingredient (the previous formula contained 2½ lbs./gal.). Contact Syngenta Crop Protection Inc., Dept.

Hatters sit atop the league standings
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 14, 2013) – After having the record books rewritten against them versus Florida Gulf Coast, the Lady Bucs look to bounce back against the league-leading Stetson Hatters on Monday, Jan. 14, inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center at 7 p.m.
It will not be an easy task for ETSU (3-8, 1-3) to right the ship against Stetson (12-4, 5-0) who is in first place in the latest Atlantic Sun standings. The Lady Bucs will continue to go forth shorthanded after sophomore guard Brianna Bogard (Georgetown, Texas) left the team prior to the game against FGCU in search of a better fit for her style of play. The departure of Bogard leaves only one true point guard on the roster, a true freshman in Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.), to lead the team. The opportunity is now there for someone to step up and help supplement for the recent change.
The matchup between the Lady Bucs and the Hatters will be the 16th all-time meeting between the two schools, a series in which ETSU has dominated with a 13-2 overall series advantage. ETSU and SU played twice last season with each team winning on their home court. The most recent meeting was on Feb. 23, 2012 when the Lady Bucs won a tight one, 74-72.
For more on Saturday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Lady Buccaneers, but Lady Bucs is also acceptable.
ETSU (3-8, 1-3) looked to improve to .500 in Atlantic Sun play, but knew it would be quite the challenge against FGCU (12-5, 5-0). These fears turned into reality as the Lady Bucs ran into a buzz saw against the Eagles. After shots were not falling early for both teams, FGCU quickly found their stroke and the rout was on. FGCU's hot shooting and efficient passing led to a 51-25 ETSU deficit at the half. The second half was much like the first, with the Eagles raining threes en route to a 97-60 bludgeoning of the Lady Bucs. FGCU set the NCAA Division I women's basketball record with 22 made three-pointers, eclipsing a mark of 21 made by the Eagles as well in 2008. ETSU did get leading scorer Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) going again with 16 points and eight boards. Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.) also added 11 points and four rebounds.
Monday's contest in the MSHA Athletics Center will be the 16th all-time meeting between the two Atlantic Sun Conference foes. The Lady Bucs and the Hatters last met last season on Feb. 23 when ETSU topped Stetson, 74-72. This win evened the season series after the Hatters bested the Lady Bucs, 68-60, on Dec. 1 in DeLand, Fla. In the most recent matchup, the game was close throughout when Tarita Gordon added two baskets to put ETSU up by four with only seconds remaining, which would eventually be the deciding baskets in the Lady Buc victory. ETSU also got strong performances from Destiny Mitchell, who posted 10 points and a game-high 14 rebounds, as well as from Tosha Austin (Chattanooga, Tenn.), who tallied a career-high tying five blocked shots. The win helped the Lady Bucs secure the seven seed in the 2012 Atlantic Sun Championship.
The emergence of redshirt-sophomore Tiana Burley (Camilla, Ga.) has provided a badly-needed inside presence for the Lady Bucs. In the transfer's first action as a Lady Buc due to NCAA regulations, the center came off the bench and posted a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds in a loss to Appalachian State. This performance awarded Burley A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honors on Dec. 26. Burley also was a big contribution off the bench for the Lady Bucs against USC Upstate, in which she posted eight points and three rebounds in 15 minutes of play.
After being inserted into the starting lineup at the beginning of conference play, Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.) has answered the call and has been stellar in league play. In her first start of the season at USC Upstate, Randall tallied 16 points and was 4-of-6 from behind the arc. The junior guard followed this performance with strong showings at Lipscomb (13 points, 4 rebounds) and at Northern Kentucky (9 points). Randall is currently averaging 10.3 points per game in Atlantic Sun action.
In addition to running the team as a true freshman point guard, Brianna McQueen has shown no fear at the free throw stripe with the game on the line. At Lipscomb, McQueen stepped the line and buried clutch free throws down the stretch to seal the game in the Lady Bucs' favor. McQueen currently ranks fourth in the A-Sun in free throw shooting at 78.3 percent.
The Blue and Gold have out-rebounded the opposition in seven of the 11 games this season and enter Monday's game with a plus-3.5 rebounding margin (42.1-38.6), ranking first in the A-Sun … in its game at Morehead State, ETSU out-rebounded the Eagles by 20, 46-26 … the Lady Bucs' plus-3.5 rebound margin currently ranks in the top 100 nationally.
Currently the Lady Bucs are averaging 4.2 blocks per contest; good for tops in the Atlantic Sun. ETSU swatted a season-high eight shots in their win against Memphis on Nov. 30 inside the MSHA Athletics Center. The Blue and Gold have blocked five or more shots in five games this season and are led by Tosha Austin's 1.0 blocks per game which ranks in the top five individually in the league.
Destiny Mitchell has scored in double figures in five out of eleven games on the season and is averaging 12.1 points per contest … Mitchell scored a season-high 26 points in the opener at High Point back on Nov. 10 and added 14 points and 16 rebounds in the 10-point win vs. Memphis to close out the month of November ... Mitchell is currently seventh in the A-Sun in scoring (12.1), third in rebounding (8.2), fourth in steals (2.1) and fifth in field goal percentage (48.5).
Mitchell is well on her way to become the 21st Lady Buc to join the 1,000-point club ... She is on pace to break the 1,000-point mark near the end of February as she registered 347 points as a freshman and 367 points as a sophomore for 714 total points... through ETSU's first eleven games of the 2012-13 season she has scored 121 to move her career total to 835 .. if Mitchell scores in similar fashion in the next two years as she did as a rookie and a sophomore, she will put herself in the top-10 in Lady Buc history.
After a solid start to the season for the now eligible transfer, Serena Clark (Tucker, Ga.) has really turned it on when it comes to Atlantic Sun action. Through the first four games of league play, Clark is averaging 8.8 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, including back-to-back double-doubles at Lipscomb and at Northern Kentucky with 10 points & 14 rebounds and 16 points, 10 rebounds & seven steals, respectively.
The Lady Bucs have been a tough team to beat when it comes to the second half of the season (games played from January-March) … since January of 2008, ETSU is 77-32 (.706) in the months of January through March, including a program-best 19-3 mark in 2009-10.
The Lady Bucs have enjoyed a lot of success since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06 … since joining the league, the Lady Buccaneers have averaged 15 conference wins a year, including a league-best and school record 18-2 mark in 2009-10, three Atlantic Sun Tournament titles (2008-2010), and two regular season championships (2008 and 2010) …in total, ETSU is 100-36 (.735) against conference foes since moving into the A-Sun … the Lady Bucs have also won 80 of their last 107 games against conference foes (includes the 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 A-Sun Tournaments).

Tania Merisca and her boyfriend, Antonio Durham, were held without bail on Tuesday after being arraigned in connection with the death of Merisca's 4-year-old son, Chauncey Cohen.
BROCKTON – Tania Merisca and her boyfriend, Antonio Durham, were held without bail on Tuesday after being arraigned at Brockton District Court in connection with the death of Merisca's 4-year-old son, Chauncey Cohen.
Durham has been charged with murder in the case and Merisca has been charged with being an accessory after the fact in the commission of a felony.
In June, Merisca told authorities that she was giving Cohen a bath at the Holiday In Express in Brockton, where she and Durham were staying, when the boy became unresponsive.
Merisca brought the unresponsive boy to Good Samaritan Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead less than an hour later.
The medical examiner's report determined that the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the abdomen, and the death was ruled a homicide.
The Plymouth county District Attorney's Office received the report in February, and arrest warrants were issued for both Durham and Merisca on February 26.
Durham was arrested on Monday in Fall River, and Merisca was arrested Monday in Brockton. Both were apprehended without incident.

Mindy Kaling's Dos & Don'ts of Dressing for Awards Shows
"Joan Rivers said this looked like I was wearing Snook's old prom dress." - —Kaling at the 2010 Emmy Awards. Even though the comment "made me cry later that night," she says, "I had to admit it was funny."
I hate gowns. I hate them. It's weird. I love fashion, but I never, even as a chubby Indian kid, wanted to look like a fairy princess. I'd rather look cool and hot than elegant and beautiful. I recognize these preferences are the result of self-preservation, because I have much more of a fighting chance to look cool or hot in jeans and a button-down than elegant and beautiful in some long gown with a train. I mean, when you think of me, what do you picture? Me in a flowing gown, dripping in jewelry on the red carpet? Or me in jeans and a pink hoodie, watching Real Housewives on the sofa, eating licorice? Don't answer. It's so obvious what the answer is.
One of my best qualities is that I'm truly open to anything fashion-wise. One of my worst is that my skin is incredibly thin to criticism. These two traits do battle anytime I get dressed for a red-carpet event. In honor of the Oscars, let me take you on a little tour of my recent history.
My Fashion Police moment
Let's look, for instance, at the dress I wore to the 2010 Emmys, at right, when I was co-nominated for best comedy writing with my boss Greg Daniels. Because there was a possibility I might go onstage, I hired a stylist to help me. Hiring a stylist basically means you go to an agency's website and look at pictures of celebrities and models wearing outfits that the stylist has assembled. This activity in itself is a complete joy, obviously.
I picked a stylist I'll call Liza. She was an impossibly thin Debbie Harry look-alike who wore six-inch platform sandals. Liza arrived at my house on a Saturday morning with four racks containing hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of gowns, jewelry and shoes. It was magical. They were just sitting there, all on the same wood floor where I played Rock Band badly.
Trying on gowns is demoralizing. I'm smaller on top than I am on the bottom, so gowns rarely fit me well. So I picked my dress because it was easy to dance in. I figured if we won, I'd dance up a storm. I also wanted to look edgy and young, reveal some leg and showcase these gorgeous (and disgustingly expensive) Alexander McQueen shoes, which were black with purple rhinestones and had a heart-shaped toe opening. Usually for red-carpet events, I spend a sickening amount on shoes that remain hidden under the gown, and I'm like, "Why didn't I just go to Aldo and buy $50 pumps? This is nuts." Not this time!
By the time I was in the limo with my best friend, Brenda, I started suspecting the dress was a mistake: Brenda couldn't sit within three feet of me, because my dress took up the whole area. (At the ceremony, it overflowed into Greg's seat, where he kept pushing it back until finally, he gave up, letting it cover his lap.) Yikes, right? In retrospect, it's pretty amazing that I messed up a black dress. I usually don't like to wear them because I think black is boring. Maybe because it's the signature style of Supreme Court justices. Basically, you're saying, "Don't think of me sexually! I want to blend in." Black dresses might be flattering and confidence-giving, but they are never memorable, unless you're Angelina Jolie, in which case you could wear a Supreme Court robe and steal away a million husbands.
But this little number does have historical significance. It inaugurated me into the club of people who've been mocked on the E! show Fashion Police, led by the reanimated corpse of Joan Rivers, who's actually a very funny old bag of bones. She said I looked like I'd fallen out of Patti LaBelle's nose and that I was wearing Snooki's old prom dress. Even though it made me cry later that night, I had to admit that it was a funny thing to say.
Right after Joan skewered me, I promised myself I'd wear only boring black shifts. But then a month after, I caught an episode of Fashion Police while I was working out at the gym. The judges just seemed kind of pitiful, and I thought, If anyone is going to scare me into dressing a certain way, it's going to be someone formidable. So I stopped caring. Let the Fashion Police dis my outfits. I make my living taking risks and being creative; they make theirs scrutinizing creativity. Which would you rather do?
Learn how Mindy scored major style points on the Golden Globes red carpet >>
"I spent three weeks running intervals" for this dress, says Kaling
of her 2009 Golden Globes look. "It was worth it."
My Golden Globes success story
Canary yellow is my favorite color. Most people think it's pink, because pink is the favorite of my character, Kelly, on The Office. And believe me, I have a deep, personal relationship with pink. But nothing gets me more excited than rocking deep canary yellow.
So as soon as I saw this Gucci gown (left), I knew I had to wear it to the 2009 Golden Globes. It was a little tight in the hips, so I spent the next three weeks running intervals on the treadmill and eating lean proteins and vegetables, with a handful of berries as my "treat." It was a pathetic and unhappy time during which I was endlessly grouchy. I recommend it to no one. But it was worth it for the gown.
It is one of my favorite looks. I love one-shoulder gowns, even though this is the cut of choice for every Real Housewife, whether she's throwing her toddler an insanely elaborate birthday party or going to get a face-lift.
My close friend and Office costar Ellie Kemper got ready for the Golden Globes with me. We got our hair and makeup done at my house while listening to a mix I made that was simply alternating Rihanna and Beyoncé songs. (Why would you listen to anything else?) We ate sushi, drank champagne and walked around in Spanx without feeling embarrassed.
The gown cost serious money, and I don't think I'll ever wear it again, but I love it. Quentin Tarantino told me I looked pretty that night, so now I call it the Tarantino dress. I'm annoyed that the only photo I have of me in the Tarantino is in front of a dreadful black plastic backdrop that seems to be made entirely of garbage bags. But my body looks slammin', and I'm smiling, and that's all that matters.
Speaking of which: the smiling conundrum. I have wonky teeth, full of gaps, and I always tell myself to do a classy, closemouthed smile, but in the end, I don't have the willpower. I can't help it. I mean, I'm literally on a Hollywood red carpet. That chubby Indian kid in me is beaming so hard I can't not smile. I'll just have to leave the cool "Why are you bothering me?" beauty scowl to Victoria Beckham.
Check out Mindy's ill-fated experiment with arm warmers >>
Arm warmers: always a Don't
Sometimes there are red-carpet events for things that aren't even fancy. I was invited to a premiere for a car once (I know, I don't really get it either), and this is what I wore, above.
I think this is an all-time low in my fashion history. The neon yellow scarf is a disaster, obviously, and the gold bag is confusing (I think it's technically a free makeup bag I got for buying $50 worth of products), but the arm warmers are the real travesty. Since I'm wearing short sleeves, the arm warmers are clearly there only for fashion, not function. And what is this look I'm trying to pull off? Vampire hipster clown? I plan on showing this picture to my future children to remind them that even though Mom is perfect now, she came from humble origins. I also learned an important style lesson from this: Simple is best. Almost always.
Mindy's most awesome red carpet moment, right this way >>
"This wins best clothing ensemble' in the awards show of my
heart." —Kaling at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards
My red-carpet triumph
To leave you on a positive note, and so you think of me as a generally attractive and put-together human, I'm ending this with the red-carpet look I'm most proud of. It's from the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Like every other American, I spend a good part of my time looking at Kardashians. Love or hate them, I think they dress phenomenally, which is sometimes tricky given their curves. So I tracked down their stylist, Monica Rose, to see if she'd style me. Monica is incredibly busy with the Kardashians, but she agreed to because she thought I was a hilarious and hot new voice in Hollywood (at least that's what I assume; she never said this to me).
Monica arrived with racks of gowns. The interesting thing was that Monica, while completely versed in couture, is not a label snob. There were labels I'd never heard of, and also labels available at the suburban Macy's where I grew up. I was immediately angry about this. I want to wear Elie Saab like Halle Berry, or Marchesa like Nicole Richie! I don't want to look like the mall rat I secretly am!
I was wrong. Through Monica I learned that labels are fine but fit is paramount. She loved the color and the fabric, and reworked this Tadashi Shoji dress with a tailor so it fit me perfectly. We had three tailoring sessions because it was that important to her. I'm nervous about wearing light colors on my bottom half (a common concern for women with my body shape), but Monica freed me of that fear. The final touch: She cinched my waist in with a custom-made metal belt.
The Office didn't win "best ensemble" that night; Modern Family did. But I, Mindy Kaling, won "best clothing ensemble" in the awards show of my heart. Yep, truly. Nailed it.

Senators Afraid Of 'Chilling Effects' On Those Poor, Poor Lobbyists If Scientists Disclose Which Large Company Funded Research
from the but-think-of-the-lobbyists dept
However, as Larry Lessig explains, a bunch of Senators have gone absolutely apeshit over this idea that scientists be asked to disclose financial conflicts, claiming that it could create a "chilling effect."
Led by Tennessee's Lamar Alexander, these senators objected (PDF) to the agency's request that financial conflicts of interest be disclosed. The Senators were "very concerned about OSHA's attempt to have commenters disclose their financial backers." As Liz Wolgemuth, a staffer working for Alexander's committee explained, "the chilling effect the financial disclosure could have seems counter to the idea of robust inclusion of a diverse set of ideas and views to inform the rule-making.As Lessig points out, what exactly is the "chilling" effect here?
The "chilling effect?" Seriously? What's the chill? That the shrinking violets of the cement industry will be too afraid to hire lobbyists to present their views about the (non-) dangers in inhaling silica?Again, no one is saying that any such evidence would be ignored. But more information and transparency concerning information presented to the government seems to only create a chilling effect if the financial backers of that information don't want their names associated with it. Furthermore, such disclosures are common (even more strongly required) in many other places, from academic journals to court filings to political donations. It's difficult to see the complaint of these Senators as anything more than a cynical attempt to protect lobbyists and the practice of paying for bogus scientific studies.

Two studies published earlier this year suggest that yoga can be beneficial to women with breast cancer. One study focused on the impact yoga can have on pain relief and side effect relief for postmenopausal breast cancer survivors experiencing aromatase inhibitor-associated joint pain. Another study centered on the impact of yoga upon cognition and quality of life for women with early stage breast cancer treated with chemotherapy.
The first study centering on survivors with joint pain was a qualitative study where participants took part in an eight-week yoga program, which served both as physical activity and a support group. Participants kept a journal of their experience and received weekly phone calls to uncover emergent themes centering on empowerment, pain relief, increased physical fitness, and stress and anxiety relief.
The second study focused on the benefits of yoga on the cognition and quality of life of women undergoing chemotherapy. It followed women with early stage breast cancer who participated in a yoga program twice a week for 12 weeks. Following the completion of the study, participants completed qualitative questionnaires to determine what benefits and challenges they perceived.
Both studies require further investigation to determine the exact nature of benefits that yoga can provide breast cancer survivors in terms of improving overall quality of life. However, whatever the outcomes of further studies, many breast cancer survivors have expressed anecdotal evidence to suggest that yoga has benefited them.Tags: exercise, medical, research, yoga

The first look at the Lady Bisons basketball was a good one.
Led by freshman guard Miriam McAlister who scored a team-high 15 points and grabbed a game-high nine rebounds, the Lady Bisons beat the University of Alabama-Huntsville Monday night 68-64 at Allen Arena.
"I thought Miriam played very well on both ends of the floor," said Lipscomb Coach Frank Bennett. "She is very athletic, and she has pretty good fundamentals. She made a couple of threes. She got some big rebounds. She is very versatile. She is pretty long and she is so quick and athletic for her size."
The Lady Bisons opened with a starting lineup that featured McAlister, sophomores Kaleigh Grossman and Dana Carrigan and seniors Karli Osborn and Katie Beth Pate. Starting point guard Catie Woods, a sophomore, sat out the game with an injury.
"We are likely to start three sophomores, one freshman and a senior," said Bennett. "We are going to have kind of a young starting lineup. We have some experience coming in off the bench. Penny Jones made some good plays and Jillian Partin had a couple of baskets. I thought our bench did a good job. We have a chance to have some depth."
The Lady Bisons led by a score of 40-36 at halftime. Both teams scored 28 points in the second half.
"It was kind of nice to have a pretty close game where we had to execute and make plays late in the game," said Bennett. "I thought we could have been a little more consistent and maybe increased our lead at times. Second shots really hurt us a lot."
In the first half the Lady Bisons trailed until the 7:58 mark when Katie Foster connected on a 3-pointer for a 23-20 advantage.
The Lady Bisons would not trail in the game from that point. Their biggest lead was 11 points at 13:12 of the second half on a lay-up by Partin.
Alabama-Huntsville rallied to pull within one at 58-57 at 9:19 on a 3-point shot from Jessica Russell. But the Lady Bisons answered with a lay-up from McAlister at 8:29 for a 60-57 lead.
Also in double figures for the Lady Bisons were Carrigan with 14 points, 12 off of 3-point shots, and Jones with 13. Pate blocked four shots.
"I think Dana will be a different player confidence-wise as far as being in great shape and stronger this year," said Bennett. "She can be lights out at times. She can get a shot off pretty quick."
Alabama-Huntsville was led by Russell with 15 points and Hillary Luna with 12.

As another NHL regular season draws to a close, the NHL awards discussion has picked up steam, and there are a few Canucks garnering some attention. Daniel Sedin leads the league in scoring and is almost certainly the favourite for the Hart Trophy. Ryan Kesler is a legitimate Selke candidate. Roberto Luongo is always in the picture when it comes time to look at the Vezina.
And Alain Vigneault has to be considered for the Jack Adams.
Vigneault has won the award before, in 2007. He was also a finalist in 2000, when he was coaching the Montreal Canadiens. Arguably what he has done in Vancouver this year is even more impressive, guiding the team to the Presidents' Trophy despite watching his top defensemen fall to injury one by one.
Certainly the Canucks' record this season is an exceptional one, if only because they've been virtually flawless in the regular season. They're an offensive powerhouse averaging 3.16 goals per game – second in the league, behind only Detroit. No team has done a better job preventing goals either; the Canucks are first in the league with a 2.23 goals against per game.
At five-on-five, the Canucks have the second best ratio of goals for to goals against in the entire league (behind only Boston). They boast the best power play in hockey and the second best penalty-kill, in no small part due to coaching. I don't think there's a team in the league that executes set plays in any game situation with the efficiency of the Vancouver Canucks.
There's another interesting item that often goes unnoticed, however: Vigneault is fanatical not just about line matching (he has plenty of company there) but also about ensuring certain players play certain roles.
Yesterday, I questioned Daniel Sedin's Hart credentials because of the way Alain Vigneault has used his line: no trio in the league has been used in the offensive zone as often as Sedin, Sedin and Burrows. For that matter, no other NHL player has been blessed with a better starting ratio than any of those three. Blessed with a bevy of competent two-way players, Vigneault has used the Sedins' as offensive specialists, not only spiking their point totals but also allowing the team to ensure their best scorers are given the best scoring minutes.
Yet, Vigneault has also done the opposite with players like Manny Malhotra, Raffi Torres, and Jannik Hansen. Although each of those players has some offensive upside, they can't compete with other options at Vigneault's disposal, and he hasn't made them: they've been used almost exclusively in their own end. Manny Malhotra's 25.0% offensive zone start rate is the ugliest number in the game. Raffi Torres ranks third, with a 29.4% starting rate, while Jannik Hansen rounds out the trio with the ninth-worst zone start rate (33.7%).
Injuries on the blue line have kept Vigneault from being quite as committed with his defensemen, yet even with a staggering number of injuries he has remained true to parts of his game plan, as offensive options Christian Ehrhoff and Alexander Edler are among the defensive league leaders in offensive zone starts.
No coach in the game has been as diligent in turning specific lines into zone specialists, and I can't help but think that this innovation has contributed to the Canucks' success this season.
Unfortunately for Vigneault, he faces some very stiff competition. Dan Bylsma in Pittsburgh is difficult to ignore: not only are the Penguins competitive, but they're competitive despite the loss of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal for long stretches (and it's worth noting that these are far from being the only injuries Pittsburgh has dealt with). In Detroit, Mike Babcock has also kept his team highly competitive despite the loss of high-calibre players.
Bylsma and Babcock aren't the only candidates. Elsewhere in the West, Dave Tippett continues to earn praise for his work with the Coyotes, and that was enough to win him the Jack Adams last season. In the East, rookie head coach Guy Boucher has done strong work with the Tampa Bay Lightning, while the Devils' rebound after the hiring of Jacques Lemaire will be difficult to ignore. Meanwhile, the Sporting News managed to run an article titled "Rangers' John Tortorella leading race for Jack Adams Award," so there's that too.
It's a tough field. If I were voting, I'd probably rank Vigneault just in front of Bylsma, with that tandem well ahead of the pack, but I suspect that doesn't reflect the consensus feeling; I expect Bylsma to win. Even if Vigneault doesn't go home with the Adams, he has done a masterful job behind the Vancouver bench this season.
