Man jailed for texting friends to riot
Saturday 04 February 2012
A man has been jailed for three years and three months after he admitted encouraging people to join in widespread riots during the summer.
Sam Lowe, 21, pleaded guilty at Nottingham Crown Court to encouraging violent disorder in a text message to 160 friends in August last year.
Police said his message read: "Girls, grannies, mums, dads, lads, granddads – everyone meet on Sneinton Dale tonight at 9 o'clock as we are all going to kick off."
Lowe, of Sneinton, Notts, was arrested following a tip-off.

FOXBORO -- Another week, another Ryan.
This past Sunday, the Patriots went up against the multiple looks of Jets coach Rex Ryan. This Sunday, Rob Ryan will bring Dallas' freewheeling defensive style to Gillette Stadium.
Rob, who served as the linebackers coach with the Patriots from 2000 through 2003 before becoming defensive coordinator in Oakland (2004-08) and Cleveland (2009-10), joined the Cowboys as their defensive coordinator in January. Since then, Belichick said he's left his imprint on the Dallas scheme.
"I think this is truly Rob's package, Rob's defense," Belichick said. "I think there were elements of Rob in Oakland, there were elements of Rob in Cleveland. But I think this is really, the way he's got it set up, the way his calls are organized, I think this is really, totally his package.
"They have a lot of good players. They have a good scheme. They play good technique. They're strong, they're physical up front and they're fast. They don't give up many plays. Their defensive linemen are active. They really run well. They have good team speed. They haven't given up very many plays period -- run or pass. That one of the big reasons, they converge on the ball so quickly. They have a lot of team speed -- it's the fastest team we've played this year."
Belichick has good reason to be cautious of his former linebackers coach: The Cowboys are tops in the league against the run (allowing just 61.8 yards per game) and fourth in the league in total defense (yielding just 291.8 yards per contest). In addition, Ryan was the last defensive coordinator to hold the Patriots offense to less than 30 points in a regular-season game. That came last November when the Browns whipped New England, 34-14. (Interestingly enough, that game came immediately after the Browns' bye week. The Patriots will be facing the Cowboys immediately following Dallas' bye.) Since the Browns game, the Patriots have run off 13 straight regular-season games in which they've scored 30 or more points.
Rob has always had a unique approach. In that game against the Patriots, the Browns had a handful of defensive players simply stand up on a series of snaps and not take any fixed defensive positions in an attempt to confuse New England's offense. (The Patriots defense had used the approach a few years before in a win over the Bills in Buffalo.)
"Rob, he's a game-plan defensive coordinator," said offensive lineman Logan Mankins. "He thinks outside the box. He always something dialed up when he plays a team. He does that stuff because he thinks it'll work. He's not doing just to do it."
On Wednesday, Dallas coach Jason Garrett said film of that game from last November was "certainly a part" of their preparation for this week.
"I think when we prepare for an opponent, you use all the resources at your disposal, and certainly you watch the most recent games and stuff from this year," he said. "But if you have an experience when you've played against a team before, you certainly go back and watch that game and just see if anything continues to relate to what that offense or defense is doing. That's certainly a part of our preparation."
While the personnel has varied over the years, there are some constants to a Rob Ryan defense, according to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
"He's a great coach. He gets those guys playing hard," said Brady, who's gone 43-for-74 (58 percent) for 530 yards, four touchdowns and no picks in his two outings against Rob Ryan's defenses. "I think they're very talented.
"They've got a bunch of good skill-type players over there. Terence Newman, I played against him a bunch of times, he's [a] phenomenal player. Michael Jenkins on the other side is great, [DeMarcus] Ware – he can get after the quarterback, so they really get pressure on the quarterback from everybody. They've get pressure in a three-man rush, they get pressure in a four-man rush [and] when they blitz they get pressure, so we've got to make sure we really stand up to them. It's a very good defense."
And then there's the Ryan connection. The Ryan brothers are the last two guys who have managed to hold the New England offense under 30 points (Rob did it in the regular season, while Rex's Jets turned the trick in the playoffs). Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien said he expects them to share a few secrets.
"Obviously, being brothers, they talk. There's a little bit of similarity," O'Brien said. "I would definitely say Rob is his own guy as far as being a coordinator. He does a great job with what he's doing right now.
"They're the top-ranked defense in a lot of categories, at least in the top five in most. It's going to be a big challenge for us. It's a multiple defense, they do a lot of things," O'Brien added. "There's not going to be a lot of sleeping in Foxboro this week. We have a lot of work to do and make sure that we're ready to go on Sunday."

FOX 47 - Health News
MADISON (WMSN) -- In tonight's FOX 47 Focus on Health, hospital leaders at UW Health say they're the first in the area to perform surgery to repair an aortic aneurism, by just using local anesthesia. This type of anesthetic is what dentists use to fix tooth cavities.
Dr. Jon Matsumura says this type of aneurism, in the lower part of the abdomen is very serious. In fact - it's called the "Silent Killer."
They performed the surgery October 25th when Louis Cernicka came to the hospital, experiencing pains.
Doctors found his aorta ruptured. They decided giving local anesthetic, rather than putting him to sleep, would be safer, because Louis was still getting over pneumonia.
"We know that half of all patients dont survive long enough to get to the emergency room and of those that do get to ER we can save more than half of them and those numbers seem to be increasing each year," said Dr. Jon Matsumura, UW Health Surgeon.
"From now on if I had pains like that I'll be at the hospital quick it was just unbearable I would just go right away if you have a feeling like that," said patient Louis Cernicka.
Dr. Matsumura says they hope to perform more aneurisms with local anesthesia, rather than giving the patient a large incision. The doctor adds that elderly men who have had a history of smoking. Women with a family history of aneurisms are more likely to have an aneurism. He suggests they get an ultra sound for preventative care.

Barracuda by Christos Tsiolkas: review
Tsiolakos fearlessly juxtaposes his characters' primal drive for self-preservation while eliciting the reader's empathy for the deeper motives behind petty behaviours.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
Christos Tsiolkas 2008 novel The Slap became a surprise and much-discussed bestseller, surprising because of the shocking incident that propels the story: a vicious slap delivered to a four-year-old child by a guest at a birthday party in a middle-class Australian suburb.
Tsiolkas used the violent incident to shock both his characters and his readers into confronting the deep ethnic, class and gender rivalries just beneath the placid surfaces of today's liberal, multi-cultural middle classes. The mirror he held up to readers was unflinching in its clarity.
Barracuda, Tsiolkas's new novel, is more intensely focused on a single character than its predecessor but is no less wide-ranging or confrontational in its treatment of the contemporary Australian scene. The novel's protagonist, Danny Kelly, earns the nickname Barracuda at a private boys school for his fierce competitiveness and speed in the swimming pool — and for his violent temper and unpredictable behaviour outside it.
Danny is a scholarship boy, hand-picked by the school's swimming coach to win glory in competitive swimming matches across Australia. Danny's half-Greek heritage and working class origins make him an easy target for the school's rich students, whose ease in life and "perfect golden hair, perfect clear skin" remind him that he will never fully belong to their world.
To survive this hostile environment, Danny devotes himself to besting the boys in the pool, his personal mantra of "You are better, you are faster, you are stronger" driving him to win one championship after another. The corrosive effects of this narrow drive to succeed are obvious to the reader, but for Danny, realization comes much later, and with bitter, at times crippling, self-knowledge.
Danny's alienation from his peers and from his well-meaning but shame-inducing family (his Greek-Australian mother's ethnicity is particularly stinging) is a little over-played in the novel's early sections, as are the multiple evocations of personal transcendence through competition and victory. This repetitive trope does capture Danny's limited vision and goals, but would have been more effective if more carefully deployed.
The novel opens up in unexpected and moving ways after Danny's swimming career ends, forcing him back to a life of working-class struggle made shabbier by his brief competitive success and entre into the mansions and parties of the rich. Make no mistake: Danny is a bitter, closed-off man for much of the novel, a brave narrative choice in an age where too many readers demand "likeable" or "sympathetic" protagonists from authors.
Barracuda exposes many of the same fault lines as The Slap but with more attention to class and sexuality. Danny is too focused in adolescence on swimming to ponder his sexual identity. He has a typically all-consuming adolescent crush on swim partner Martin Taylor, one of the school's golden boys, but Danny is as much in love with Martin's privileged life as with his body and personality.
No female crush competes with this adoration, and when school ends Danny slowly embraces his homosexuality, an identity that further alienates him from the Australian dream of suburban contentment.
The novel ends on a note of hard-won reconciliation that feels unforced. Tsiolakos fearlessly juxtaposes his characters' primal drive for self-preservation and ego gratification while eliciting the reader's empathy for the deeper motives behind these often petty behaviours. He does not shy away from ugliness but does not revel in it either. In Tsiolakos's novels, people venture far from their best selves, but if they're lucky enough, bitter experience drives them reluctantly homeward, to their families, their communities, to a life that offers some solace from the inevitable divisions that society is built upon.

|DB bashing per usual
It would indeed be nice to have a band. However you could also view this move as a way to get as many fans into the game as possible, which you deemed favorable when mark Hollis did it with rose bowl tickets. I mean, we are so desperate to bash DB that we are actually using Mark Hollis as the poster boy? As in, mark Hollis, from "lol mark Hollis" fame? The guy that that gave Glenn Winston a vote of confidence and gave trey Burke unsolicited twitter advice? I will never think Hollis is a better option than Brandon. Deep down I bet you feel the same.

If at any time Devin Gardner does not like his arrangement with the university, he can end it. My guess is that he won't do that, because he perceives value in being a student and an athlete. He probably assumes an investment of his time now will pay off later! Same reason anyone pursues higher education, or in his case perhaps college football, right? Without the UM providing a platform, he does not become a million dollar man.

|Good examples
The old versions of the posters were free and were posted everywhere, but I'm guessing they were much cheaper to produce. I think they had ads on them too right? So maybe they were free (for the AD) to produce. The 3-D posters are cool and they don't have ads ... that's why they are $5.
The stadium open door policy was nice while it lasted, but I understand discontinuing this perk due to the new structures they built. There is more at risk now, if they were to just let people in and run the steps and explore: Break-ins, vandalism, overall security of new spaces. Plus the $10 tour allows you to see the luxury boxes that you can't even get access to on gameday.
I see your point here. I also understand the AD point of view, the $5 posters and the $10 tours.

|Like anything in life, you
Like anything in life, you get out of it what you put into it. I enjoy the stadium experience. I don't have a problem paying money for things I like. Tickets and concessions have never been free, have they? Water is free at the Hydration Station. I'm wondering what it is that used to be free, which was bought up, then sold to me?

So what you're saying is, a current high school kid was aware of Michigan's history in football even though this blog's board would have you believe he is too young to remember last time Michigan was relevant.

I guess we know why the board has become overloaded with negativity and complaints recently - that attitude is set by the site owner.
Your team plays 13 times a year and you find a way to write an entire intro about how it was dull and not good enough in a homecoming game that ended in a 29 piont win. Come on man.
I'm also confused by "Am I a bad fan for wishing something interesting would happen?" ...You complain about anything that can be categorized as a "wow experience". After UTL2 Ira asked you what you thought of the stadium environment that night and you just said "I'd rather talk about the game"

|I think Walt visits his
I think Walt visits his partner from Grey Matter, because he wants people to know it wasn't just the company name he contributed to. I don't know if the huge gun in the trunk is for Grey Matter or the Nazis. Does Walt care about avenging Hank's death anymore? Walt essentially turned himself in before getting reincentivized by the Grey Matter thing. He knows his family hates him.
The ricin... I could see him using it in a way that isnt revealed to us until later.
Marie won't be able to do much while she's in protective custody. I guess she may no longer be in protective custody since at least 4-6 weeks have passed while Walt was in the cabin. Marie still loves Skyler and the kids. If she does get an opportunity to kill Walt she would do it.
Lydia dies.
Jesse has been slaving away for the entire time Walt is in the cabin. Maybe Walt seeing his blue stuff on the market makes it obvious Jesse is cooking it. Walt might think that is fitting for Jesse and leave it alone. Jesse knows the Nazis will kill Brock if he tries to escape, so the only way he gets out is suicide, or someone else rescuing him. Maybe the Feds find it? It would be great to see Jesse get himself out with Chemistry ... like how they gassed the two guys in the RV in season 1 or how they killed the guys down in Mexico. If Jesse has an opportunity to kill Walt, he kills Walt.
Fe - Iron (Blood)
Li - Lithium (Meth)
Na - Sodium (Tears)
I would end the series by showing that home video clip shot during Holly's baby shower where Walt sincerely tells Holly that her family loves her.

It was the night following the 2009 Ohio game where anyone attending the game could hear the O-H-I-O going around the stadium.
Not going to conjecture about whether it was rape or not. For those of you who are totally rejecting the entire story ... Gibbons did say that he was with the girl.
The fraternity (that Gibbons was not a member of) that it happened in was put on probation by its national organization.

If you're talking about Saturday night, then you'll be required to buy a single ticket that covers both games. So consider face value of $120 ... not $60. You can't split it up.

|Face Value
I know face value for my seats on Saturday night is $120 ($60 * 2 games). I have some of the worst upper bowl seats in the dome though, and I know that better seats have a higher face value.
Likewise, face value for Monday is $60.
Tickets acquired through NCAA lottery.

Now that I think of it, when I logged in, there was an option for selling tickets that I did not explore. So maybe there is a safe way to exchange money built into Flash Seats. Like I said, my friend just sent me the tickets via that site and we are settling up later.... so maybe he had to indicate the sale price was $0 or something on his end. He initiated the transfer. You will have to create an account and register that account with a credit card, then that credit card is used to pick up tickets at the venue.
|1 year 38 weeks ago
Flash Seats is how I got mine. Very legit. There's a way you can send your tickets to others via email. Not a great way for money to change hands though. I am paying my friend via check, not via flash seats. Flash seats seems to be a ticket management tool after the tickets are paid for.

If mgoblog was a retailer and the front page posts were its products, would this "product" be pulled from the shelves for not complying with the blog's core values / best practices. There is no humor or wit in the post. There is no deep statistical examination of data (the extant bullet points are misleading and don't tell the whole story). There is no brilliant prose capturing the visceral effects of a game we all watched.
This rant is of the same "quality" you can get at other blogs. This blog is better than other blogs. Come on Brian, stick to your bread and butter!
Side Note: Some people out there make a ton of money. Some even dictate their own salaries. That's just how it is.
Side Note 2: Lifetime economic benefits associated with a university education are undeniable (for everyone, not just athletes). One could argue that athletes have an additional leg up in the job market because an employer can reasonably assume candidates that are former college athletes are coachable and goal-oriented, work well in teams, and have the ability to commit to a cause.

|game theory disagree
Fitz should be able to keep 75% of his big points earned from the 4th down, instead of giving half of them back on the punt. Rugby punt is still the incorrect choice, but saving the timeout is not the incorrect choice.
Taking the delay of game penalty backs NU out to the Mich 49 yardline. The NU long punt of the day was 53 yards and they already pinned Mich inside the 10 twice. Moving the ball back to the 49 from the 44 is OK if it means you save your last timeout. You've already blown several leads in B1G play this year, and you want that last timeout in case Michigan surprises you with a trick formation during the last 0:18.
I also think it was wise to NOT USE the timeout to ice the field goal kicker after the roundtree catch, because Michigan just had to scurry the length of the field to set up the 1st down spike and 2nd down FG. Icing the kicker just gives M a chance to catch their breath. (See 12-10 victory over MSU where The Threat has to be the FG holder moments after getting blasted, but Dantonio's timeout allows him to recover). Fitz also possibly knew that Gibbons can't be iced

The hotel is central and close to shops and bars, staff friendly and the room was spacious and very clean ,excellent shower and the biggest bed ive ever slept in. I would recommend this hotel .
Location, price and friendly staff
Hotel is a bit dated, average breakfast, room was very hot and couldn't open the Windows
Staff were friendly
The food!
Staff, food was good
Wifi was bad!!!!!
Staff are great.
WiFi - useless - parking is at the nearby (400mts) NCP. Now, apparently they only pay part of the parking cost
I left my mobile phone in the hotel and the staff were on contact that morning. Can't say anything bad about this place and will return!
location was excellent for central sheffield, theatres etc. easy from station
Friendly staff, especially night staff
wifi didn't work half the time
Great location for visiting the cathedral; Noise at 5.00am on a Saturday night when the clubs close; Good breakfast; Friendly staff
PRICE! Parking requires a 5 minute walk and is a bit complex
Clean and helpful service. Good car park close by at Arundel Gate
Breakfast was a poor affair in a one-time Indian restaurant setting with very loud radio chat show!
cold rooms, no beer in the bar
Location Clean
The Location was good - in the city centre and near to shops and restaurants and the price was reasonable
The Wi-Fi didn't work. There was only a bath towel and hand towel in the room but not one for your hair. The TV didn't work properly (kept freezing and getting stuck). The room was quite tired and very cramped (you had to side step to get around the bed) and the bed was on wheels so moved when you got on it.
The staff gave a lovely welcome, great professional service and very attentive to our needs. The hotel was lovely and clean, as was our room, the room was equipped with all the usual items required. Rooms were serviced, coffee and biscuits topped up daily. We parked in a nearby secure car park which left us free to explore the area on foot, within 5-10 minutes you can be in the main shopping areas of Sheffield. This hotel is in an ideal location for events at the 02 arena, just a 2 minute walk at night back to the hotel. Will definitely be revisiting this hotel again..
During our stay, was that the lift was out of use, but this didn't cause us any problems.
Large comfy clean bed Very helpful & friendly staff Good location
smelly toilet very small shower cubicle poor water pressure & noisy pipes only 1 tiny bedside table poor TV reception poor wifi connectivity no numbers for help on the phone
Unfriendly staff, wi-fi not working at all, very poor breakfast, mould around window frames, dirty floors & dirty valance on bed. Whole hotel in dire need of updating. Will never stay here again.
The staff were very good and polite. Location was very good for our needs whilst we were in Sheffield. The price was very reasonable for a city centre hotel.
You can't unload near the hotel as there is building work being carried out and traffic warden would not allow even to unload. The room was very small and bed was directly next to window, therefore, had to climb over to get out. Also the room smelt quite badly. They only provided one towel between two people, although when asked for another they did provide one more. The hotel is in need of some serious TLC.
breakfast was great, staff were friendly, location is right in the centre.
Unfortunately there was building work going on while we were there which woke me up at 6am but not the fault of the hotel.
Location and friendliness of staff were excellent
Staff, location, cleanliness
Small sized bed
The staff tried to be helpful
The hotel looks awful as you enter it. Like a dossers hostel. Rooms are tiny. Walls are thin so you hear everything next door. Very noisy street at 6am. TV didn't work. Drains were overflowing so room stank. Shower is a drizzle. By far and away the worst hotel I have ever, ever stayed in.
warm comfortable room comfortable bed location
no hot water despite running tap and shower for over five minutes on many occasions tv didnt work properly reception repeatedly dropped
Staff + breakfast
In centre of town .one minute from tram stop and three minutes to theatres.good prices and clean and comfortable.would recommend.
Only one lift. No information on show for bar open and close times

Choice is the buzzword these days in health insurance plans. Since there are so many from which to choose, companies such as Florida Blue, Allegiance Life and Health Insurance Company, Guardian Life Insurance Company of America and others, have to provide exceedingly attractive plans for their customers. Right now is a particularly important time to do this, since it is enrollment time.
One focus of Inger Loftheim Rood, VP and Chief of Staff for the Office of the CEO at Florida Blue, has been ensuring efficiency at the firm, in order to provide the best health plans to customers. Florida Blue today offers a wide array of affordable plans, to meet varying needs. As well, from November 15, the company is assisting with subsidy applications to the Health Insurance Marketplace.
For Montana citizens, Allegiance Life and Health Insurance Company also offers a variety of plans. These include: deductibles with limited, deductibles with co-pays, a high deductible health plan and more.
In addition, the US Health Insurance Guide is a useful review for customers shopping for health insurance plans, with break-ups for each individual state.

Creekside office plaza
Best financial
- Blanca Torres
David Irmer thought that having a signed lease with an anchor tenant would make it easy to secure a construction loan for a new office building.
He was wrong. It took Irmer 11 tries to finally get a bank to say "yes" to financing the 82,000-square-foot addition to Creekside Office Plaza, a three-building office development near downtown San Leandro. Irmer, head of Saulsalito-based Innisfree Cos., and partner Lawrence Jett of Lanikai Management Co. are co-owners of the project.
The Regional Center of the East Bay had agreed to take 67,000 square feet of the building and wanted to move in by spring 2010, so the developers didn't have much time to wait on reluctant bankers.
Many of the banks Irmer went to were institutions he had done business with in the past. Some banks did offer to provide loans, but they were far less than what the project needed.
Finally, a friend recommended San Mateo-based Borel Bank & Trust. The bank not only agreed to a $22 million construction loan, it will also provide a 10-year take-out loan to refinance the construction loan debt when it comes due. In return, Innisfree moved all its banking business to Borel.
"(Borel) knew of us and they wanted to do business with us," Irmer said. "They shared the same philosophy we had about the tenancy."
Creekside Plaza's other buildings totaling 152,000 square feet were fully leased when Irmer was shopping for a loan — another factor he thought would be a strong selling point for lenders.
"Creekside Partners had a history of being able to finish a project and their commitment to come aboard to do a full banking relationship also helped," said Arlie Ferguson, executive vice president of Borel. "To get those funds to any borrower is extremely hard to do."

Gotta go. Enjoy the afternoon all.
@Radar O'Rielly @wendelsfist Nice, one earbud for the in-studio stuff, and another bluetooth one connected to Nonis.
Now there's a christmas gift, a little ventriloguist's dummy of Nonis, with it's hand up the ass of a little ventriloquist's dummy of his own that looks like Dreger. Priceless.
@Forever17 @leafmealone @Radar O'Rielly Why punish yourself. I know I can't bring myself to watch Scrivens suffer there.
@Knights2Leafs @leafmealone @wendelsfist What each side knows has no relevance to the game they are playing out in the media. It's the same thing defence lawyers are always doing. It's just part of the game. My point was that no matter how much Dreger waves his yap about the Leafs intending to trade Kadri, I see it as all smoke and no fire.
@Radar O'Rielly @leafmealone Fraser just blew the whistle on you, 5 minute major for abuse of the Greztky.
@Forever17 @leafmealone @Radar O'Rielly Oh, sorry, not suggesting the Leafs pick him up. Simply that I wonder how he'd look somewhere else. As in, is he actually so good that he can still show well with such terrible partners on a terrible team? Or does he just show well based on everyone else on that blueline as a comparison?
@Radar O'Rielly @leafmealone You mean Kerry should turn around and take it up the hoop?
@BringBackYushki I like the comparison to big mountain skiing. It's a huge rush and provides a ton on adrenaline, but you know that sooner or later there's going to be an avalanche that takes everything down with it.
@Dangle_My_Berries I second that emotion Smokey Robinson.
@BringBackYushki @leafmealone @Yaknowwhat Steckel? Might not have made it clear but I was suggesting a TWO WAY player, not a one way player (one way in the wrong direction that is).
@Radar O'Rielly I'd like Gretzky's statue outside the ACC. Then I'd add another statue to it. One of Kerry Fraser on his knees sucking the great one off.
@Radar O'Rielly Be interested to see what he could do outside of Edmonton. It does say something that he has a good reputation as a defender after spending his playing time on the worst blueline in the NHL.
@wendelsfist Beginning to think that he's being used by Nonis to drop Kadri's asking price on his next contract. They know that Kadri is a bit of a diva after all.
"Hey, you like the attention and glamour of playing in TO? Well, if you want to play for us, you'd better be willing to take a little haircut on AAV."
Simple as that. Cause as it stands right now, they have no leverage in those talks. As weak as they are down the middle, there's no trade they could make that would be of any benefit if they moved him. Sideways options at best. And likely options that either cost more, or are older.
@Yaknowwhat It's funny, the talk for the last few years has been all about who we couldn't send because they were in the NHL. However, every year I watch the tournament and the glaring weakness Canada has shown is in net, not in our forwards or our D. It's like any short tournament, a hot goalie can be kryptonite for the opposition. We need someone back there to just make one or two more stops.
@Dangle_My_Berries @leafmealone @mcloki Fair enough, still head and shoulders better than anyone on HC at noon.
@Yaknowwhat We have incredible winger depth in our bottom 6, but a glaring need for a 4C who can win faceoffs and play some D. I like Trevor Smith, but he's no more suited to that role than Peter Holland was. He's a scorer, not a two way guy. Leafs would be crazy smart to see if they could find someone on an expiring contract (one likely not able to be resigned by his current team-making it a win/win for both sides) who would be a better fit there. In return they ship back a solid winger (and maybe something else as a sweetener depending on the return).
@mcloki Sorry, I'd watch Leafs Lunch any day over HC at noon. I'd rather jam an ice pick in my ear than listen to Millard. He's always super smug about any Leaf struggles he can talk about, while feigning surprise and wonderment at any of their successes. Huge douchebag.
Not to mention Kypreos and his "in my day...." crap. And no question the worst of all is Maclean who hasn't had an intelligent thought since BEFORE he was GM of the Blue Jackets.
It's completely embarrassing that the network that won the bid for the NHL's rights has the worst on-air talent for their daily hockey show. How Maclean still has a job is beyond me. I can only assume that his stupidity appeals to the dumbest, and often loudest, hockey fans in Canada.
@wendelsfist @leafmealone Two years where we are already tight up against, have young soon to be UFA's to resign, and the Canadian dollar signals a limited amount of cap increase year-to-year, if any at all. Horrible timing. Only thing worse would be to wait two years until he's really sliding into uselessness and overpay him on July 1st. Pass.
@wendelsfist Staal has a huge cap hit and term remaining for a guy whose numbers show him on a precipitous decline. Also would worry that the injuries he's piled up over the years are starting to take effect as well. I'm picturing a Lupul-esque scenario where he can take over a game every once in a while, but he's only playing in half to two-thirds of the games anyway. And when he' isn't stepping it up a notch he's either invisible or worse, a total liability. I fear this move would be a repeat of all the trades the Leafs made in the 90's/early 2000's to bring in overpaid aging stars on the decline at the cost of youth, draft picks, and flexibility to spend.
@Anthony Petrielli @leafmealone Totally agree. Just wonder that taking a player who seems to have given up on playing D (JVR) off that line and replacing them with someone who will would be just as effective in improving possession for whatever line he's on. You can't have both wingers cheating for offense and looping around their own zone looking to break out. We saw the results of that back when Lupul played on his other wing two seasons ago.
I would much prefer that scenario than breaking up an incredibly valuable unit that Kadri is centring. Every team in the NHL would love to have (some do) a line that can be used against the other teams' top lines to shut them down while still scoring. The Leafs haven't had it in forever. I just don't understand the rush to break it up.
@Anthony Petrielli @leafmealone I understand what you're saying. However, with Kadri's line right now, the Leafs finally have found some combination which can play against other teams' top lines and still carry possession. I just don't see any way that it continues with Kessel added to the mix. And it's obvious that Bozak is not capable in doing this. So all you're really doing is breaking up the best asset the team has right now. Why? To try and get more from Kessel? From Kadri? Kadri is right now giving the team something more important than just point production-and he's still doing that as well. And I just don't see how Kadri is going to get that much more out of Kessel to outweigh the negatives.
At some point you just have to accept what you have with Phil. He's never going to play a style of game that allows his line to be a dominant possession group. But he's still been in the top 10 in league scoring the last three years (the only NHL'er who can say this) so if it ain't broke why fix it? If you want to affect some positive change get JVR off that line and put on a player with an actual defensive conscience who will aggressively forecheck (Winnik, Komarov, Booth) to offset their issues.
Great job as usual Anthony. I'm curious though, you always seem to want to move Kadri up with Kessel when discussing breaking up the top line. I'm not sure that is the most effective option though. Bozak has never done well away from Kessel, so you're immediately losing any effectiveness you've ever gotten from him. And the two do have great on-ice chemistry having played so long together. Not to mention that Kessel has shown he has the ability to improve the level of whomever he plays with-something you're not trying to do with Kadri atm.
On the other hand, JVR seems to be altogether losing the defensive acumen that he displayed last year (when being used more on the PK-perhaps a factor?), doing a lot of looping turns and lazy pursuit against the cycle. I'm not sure if this is Kessel rubbing off on him, complacency of his lines ability to score so not feeling compelled to work that hard, or just a "monkey see monkey do" type deal where he's enjoying too much the separate standard his line is being held to as it regards putting in the work in their own end.
I think it would be best to move him down with Kadri-Santorelli as his size would be a solid complement to the other two players' increasing skill playing the cycle. And hopefully their work ethic would help get him to re-engage at both ends of the rink.
Meanwhile, you have a previously proven stud to add onto Bozak and Kessel with Lupul, who himself has vastly increased his interest in playing in all three zones since his previous stint with Bert and Ernie.
Late all. Have a good one. And thank God that Nick Ritchie isn't playing for the Ducks this year or the MSM coverage of tomorrow's game would make me sick. Grapes, I still like ya, but put a sock in it re: Ontario kids are better than anyone else and that you can't win with Euro's. Chicago needed Hossa. The Kings needed Gaborik and Kopitar.
@Armchair GM @Burtonboy um, it's more broke than Detroit at this point. Leave together on the PP, separate them otherwise.
@Armchair GM Were those people wearing tinfoil hats? Not to mention that Burke already had future hall-of-famer Luke Schenn on his backend ( insert sad trombone noise).
@dlb, just dlb @leafmealone True, drafting for need is frowned upon. But I'm not sure how often a team is that weak in prospects in all areas BUT ONE both in and outside the NHL level.
@Edward_Flannery @leafmealone Meh, my biggest complaint would be the double standard applied to the various teams. Some teams get away with murder re: interference/hooking while other get it called on them unmercifully.
@dlb, just dlb on the PP. Only on the PP. 5v5 their possession is under 40% every game. And when you consider that it's Kadri or Holland's lines that are taking the assignment of playing against the other team's top lines, it means that JVR-Bozak-Kessel are being hugely outpossessed by the other team's bottom 6. That is not acceptable.
@Edward_Flannery @leafmealone Watch him when the other team cycles, or when his own D dump it to an open area for their forwards to recover. He's barely moving his feet to either hinder the other teams players or get to loose pucks (especially the loose puck issue). Honestly, it would be embarrassing for a beer league player. I just don't get it.
I mean, you see what him playing aggressively can do when he forces a turnover in the neutral zone and then skates up ice and snaps one home. It's like he's totally forgotten how much offense he creates for himself with his defensive effort. I'm hoping it's an injury we're unaware of or something. He was too successful doing it previously to have just abandoned it entirely.
@Edward_Flannery @leafmealone Contact alone does not merit a call. It's where and when and how. At least the league seems to have come to an understanding that the goal can be waived off without necessitating a interference penalty. That's at least a step in the right direction.
@king leary Galchenyuk wrecked his knee or he was almost guaranteed to be ranked higher than Yak. Watch a ton of OHL games and did so that season. That was my assessment by far pre-injury.
dlb, just dlb. Not bagging on Yak or saying he's done. Just that drafting him added to the ONLY area of strength that the team had. They desperately needed help elsewhere and could have traded down to get some other assets while still addressing their area of greatest need.
So, sure, whoever picked him at #1 would have been justified in doing so, but the Oilers shouldn't have been that team. Especially as he was never viewed as a "generational talent" a la Connor McDavid that a team just couldn't have taken a pass on. He was just the best talent in that draft (which was seen as rather weak by the scouts).
And I'm sure that Yak hasn't ever really had the chance to shine on that team the way it's constructed. Get him a decent C on a team that isn't constantly chasing the puck and playing from behind and he'd surely have shown lots more by now.
@Edward_Flannery @leafmealone Goalie interference gets called fairly regularly. And fairly consistently as it was brought up in previous years at the GM meetings a few times and became a point of focus. The offside issue is a current hot button. And the coaches challenge-from what I heard from the Dreger/Mackenzie crew earlier in the year-is likely coming before too long.
One last question...in watching JVR I feel that he's the main reason that the top line is getting hammered at 5v5. I see absolutely no effort at playing D whatsoever. Only interested in the offensive end. Even then he's not battling for the puck, or helping the cycle, just coasting around looking for the pass.
Not sure if it's related to his being taken off the penalty kill, but he seems to have abandoned playing D altogether. I mean, Kessel is making him look bad on the back check and along the boards. For a guy with his size that should be downright embarrassing.
@king leary Like the avatar, but you need to photoshop some blue and white tinted lenses onto that guy. ;)
@king leary Never could understand drafting Yak. It would have been exactly like the Leafs having that option and not picking a 1C/1D of the future rather than another scoring winger. I think it was all pride by Tambellini in not being willing to move down and get a player they needed unless he absolutely ROBBED the potential trade partner.
Watching the game last night, I think the push-back by the Kings didn't really start until they got a goal that should have been disallowed. Had that play been blown dead, and the goal disallowed, I think they lose even more momentum rather than gaining it, and the game never goes to OT. Anyone else see it this way?
@DARF24 @mr_hanie Until realignment, Edmonton was playing in arguably the softest division in hockey (neck and neck with the SE).
@mr_hanie Agree, but when I think about it, there was at least a better core of vets in Buffalo. And not only that, but a core that had experienced some success playing together in that market. No way the same could be said of Edmonton.
I don't know how you sum it up any better than to point out that even Pat Quinn couldn't budge the lose-meter in Edmonton.
@drummond @mr_hanie Ted Nolan was a great coaching hire there. I love Eakins, but with no NHL experience stepping behind the bench of what was ALREADY a tire fire of a team wasn't likely to go all that well.
@Burtonboy He did put in some key minutes on their back end. Any team, no matter how successful has to have some negative effect on losing that type of contributor. Especially a team like LA whose success wasn't based on their offense, but their ability to shut down other teams.
@B_Leaf Frason at #4??? Are you forgetting that trade included Brett Lebda going the other way?
@Chris Jay @Cameron19 The anonymity of the internet allows the lowest common denominator to sink even lower than is natural otherwise.
@WesternDP @leafmealone Actually, if you're keeping Polak for another year, they'd have two full seasons.
@LyGuy @leafmealone I was suggesting that they might as well move him if they had "no intention of resigning him", as it was clear that they were going to miss the playoffs. But I never wanted to see him go. I was more supportive that he had more to offer than he showed last year based on his strong play in the lockout shortened season. Thought he was largely mismatched with his partners last year and had taken a step back with the physical being paired with weaker partners.
@WesternDP @leafmealone No question that you'd likely get your best deal next summer.
@Luke_R @leafmealone Why not two birds with one stone? Clear cap space to keep a player that has proven to be successful within your organization (versus one who's shown to be seriously regressing), while also improving your team?
