He Has Spat Upon Us

from MOSNEWS,
Russian run-away hockey player Malkin's parents, frightened by their son's frenzied Russian fans and hopeless chiefs of the Mettalurg hockey team where Malkin played, are going to sell their house and move from their native city of Magnitogorsk, the Zhizn' newspaper reported. "When Evgeni was still missing they stayed in our house day and night. They thought we would help them to find him. But we didn't know where he was either. We understand he just could not call. He calmed us down as soon as he was able to do so," she said. According to the newspaper, some of Malkin's fans in his native city want revenge for his defection. "I will not be surprised if fans burn to the ground his restaurant,VIP Zone!" one fan said. "You just can't do such things. He has spat upon us".more

from Tarik El-Bashir of the Washington Post,
It has a view of the Washington Monument, a modern exercise room and sauna, secure parking and is accessible via Metro. Sound like a classified ad for a luxury condo? It's actually a description of the Washington Capitals' new practice facility and headquarters being built atop a parking garage attached to Ballston Common Mall in Arlington. Team officials hope to begin moving into the $42.8 million building late next month, which for the first time will put the organization's corporate offices and training site under the same roof.continued...(reg, may be req.)

Brisson's Sour Grapes
by George Malik on 09/01/06 at 01:39 AM ET
Comments (0)
By George Malik Pat "Baghdad" Brisson has a unique take on his client's lack of employment:
Anson Carter is unemployed, frustrated and disappointed, but he's not going to panic and sign an under-market deal, his agent said Wednesday. "We're not looking for him to get paid like a 50-goal scorer but, at the same time, he should be paid like a 25-30 goal scorer," Pat Brisson said from his office in Los Angeles. "He deserves a fair deal in the right environment. He will be patient."
"Anson is not looking for a home run," said Brisson. "If something happens in the next week, so be it. If not, he will wait. We're not going to panic and jump on anything. Some players aren't strong enough to go through this, but Anson has the backbone for it."
"Everyone thinks they are going to win the Stanley Cup this week," Brisson noted. "It's a little frustrating. It's disappointing more than anything. It's hurting his pride."Is this called "taking the high ground"? Brisson's not lending Anson a hand by pounding the "poor Carter" angle into the ground. If I was a general manager (Ah, the power, the power! Ha ha ha...Oh, sorry...), I'm not sure I'd want to take on a "bruised ego" rehabilitation project, especially if that project had a $2.5 million price tag and a two-year commitment.

Thrash Go Blue

from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
The Thrashers unveiled their third jersey in 2003, but now it has proved so popular that the team will wear it for all 41 home games in 2006-07.
"We will be wearing what had formerly been our third jersey — that's our permanent home jersey and going forth," said Lou DePaoli, Atlanta Spirit's chief marketing officer.
The change is due in no small part to marketing. The dominant color of the jersey became the underpinning for the franchise's "Blue Land" marketing scheme.
DePaoli said sales of that jersey as compared to its predecessor are as different as "night and day."

OK folks, stop with the emails!!! Seems a blogger just received some "new" information regarding the change of sweater design for the start of the 07-08 year. If you are a regular KK reader, you would have known about it in April. No use sweating the small suff, do you think the NHL & the teams wants to put out a jersey no one will buy? -Back to my shade tree...

Good News For Lacroix

from Terry Frei of the Denver Post,
Avalanche president Pierre Lacroix Wednesday confirmed he had a major scare this summer, when doctors feared a mass in his spine might be cancerous or an indication of another serious disease. After hospital stays in the Las Vegas area and in Denver, plus two visits to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Lacroix finally got the good news on Aug. 18: The mass isn't a tumor.continued

from the CP via TSN:
Slovak hockey player Stefan Blaho, a fourth-round pick of the New York Islanders, has died in a car accident. He was 21. The International Ice Hockey Federation said the crash happened just after midnight Tuesday near the Slovak town of Krasnany. That evening Blaho had scored a goal for Slovak champion MsHK Zilina, the team he was about to sign for, in an exhibition game against Banska Bystrica.continued

from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
With the possibility of having as many as 10 new faces in the lineup when the season opens Oct. 4 in Toronto, Muckler is going to take some time to let the battles develop in camp. "We want to see where everybody fits in training camp and I don't think we're going to do anything else at this point," said Muckler. "We've done a lot this summer. "This is probably the most changes that this club has made in a long time and we want to see how it all looks before making any more decisions."

Media & Bloggers- Talking From Experience

David at the Ice Block gives some great advice to hockey bloggers...
I thought I'd add something to the guidelines. Not rules, but perhaps some advice based on what experience I have, mess ups and all. For those that don't know, I covered the Buffalo Sabres for the Fischler Hockey Report in 1998 while I was at SUNY Buffalo. I also worked with the NHL and New York Islanders in 2000. While the NHL and Islanders work wasn't press-related, there were still some interaction lessons to be learned.

Composition of Trim
Generally, is there a benefit to choosing enamel coated coil vs pvc coated coil for vinyl windows facing filtered sun? (Windows will be new replacement inserts.) What range price difference should one expect for10 DH windows, if any.
I prefer the enamel coated trim because of its durability, lack of chalking, and ability to shed dirt.
It is a few bucks more for us but not a huge amount. We specify it as a standard on our end of things but if we were comparing apples to apples, it would probably be $5-10 more per window.
I completely disagree that the PVC stays cleaner, and in fact that is my only complaint about it. It is a nice look to be sure, but I do get complaints from folks about how the texture collects dirt.
I most often see $5-$10 more per window, and I pay roughly $20 more per roll. There is a lot more waste as well, as it only comes with color on one side, whereas the back side of smooth is typically white and gets used up quickly. That factors into the cost premium as well.
Ultimately from a consumer benefit perspective, there is not a huge difference on way or the other.

Speed Queen Test Lab Video for Public View
There is a very interesting Alliance (Speed Queen) Test Lab Video that I just got finished looking at. You can Google it and then look in the "Latest News" section, or download comlaundry.com.
After looking at it, I see why their washers are commercial grade. I am considering a Front Load Horizon (American Made) model for my next purchase. How is anyone's experience with this washer?
bestf100, great video. Glad you brought it to our attention. I have been researching washers for some time now and we have decided to purchase a Speed Queen -- top load, however, not a front load. Good luck and thanks for sharing the video. If you learn more, I hope you will post. We will probably purchase this week or next.
Good video. I do appreciate a machine made to last.
More important though is how it cleans. I don't believe they addressed that at all.
This video from Miele (The Art of Laundry) really illustrates a machine built to last but also built to clean outstanding.
I'm not familiar with the build quality of Speed Queen but I do know Miele uses materials most others do not (ie. enamel fronts - not painted metal, cast iron cradle vs. concrete, cast iron spiders vs. aluminum). All things that come at a cost.
What I appreciate about the Miele video is Miele's commitment to cleaning all types of fabrics. You can see how they really do "care" for fabrics not just wash them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Miele - The Art of Laundry Care
Obviously the two videos serve different purposes. The Alliance video was not really intended as a marketing piece while Miele's video had all the fancy production values. Alliance markets to commercial laundries, so obviously they would focus on build quality, durability, and lifespan. By the same token, however, I doubt many commercial laundries or laundromats are overly concerned with delicate care of your silks and unmentionables unlike Miele.
I never get tired of watching that video (The Art of Laundry).
I guess that was my point in posting the Miele video (in contrast to the Alliance one).
It appears (based on the video) that Alliance's main concern is building a unit to last 15 - 20 years.
I just don't see the point in that unless it also cleans at an outstanding level.
While the Miele video is clearly much "prettier", it illustrates in great detail the engineering that goes into the Miele machine to produce superior results.
I learn something new all the time about the Miele machine that makes me marvel at it's engineering. Many things Miele themselves don't even promote.
I've come to realize you really need to own it to appreciate its "nuances".
I'm certainly not trying to say it's perfect but it is pretty awesome.

Vermont Public Service: Allow Time to Fix Wind Problems
Vermont's Department of Public Service is recommending that utility regulators find the Lowell Mountain wind project in violation for exceeding noise limits four times last winter.
But the Caledonian Record reports the department has also asked the Vermont Public Service Board not to impose sanctions immediately on Green Mountain Power, which operates the wind project. It recommended that the utility be given time to fix the problems that caused the noise.
Opponents of the project want the turbines that caused the noise to be shut down until Green Mountain Power can show there will be no further violations.
Green Mountain Power says it has taken steps to comply with the noise level limits.

Fans set the tone, and rules, for annual Harlem Globetrotters game
When the iconic Harlem Globetrotters kick off their "Fans Rule" Tour in Pittsburgh, a game held here annually on the day after Christmas, the fans, indeed, can dictate some of the game's dynamics, says guard Dizzy Grant, known for his comical impersonations of other basketball players.
Fans at the Dec. 26 game at Consol Energy Center will vote on quirky new rules to be used in the game. Prior to the game, fans can vote on Facebook and other social media and select a new game rule.
Fans can pick the Hot Hand Jersey rule, where a player wearing a special jersey gets double points when he scores; or Make or Miss, where the quarter starts with two players on each team. When someone scores, another player joins the team, and when they miss, a teammate must leave the court; or even Trick Shot Challenge, where teams challenge each other to make trick shots — the team that makes the shot gets five points; if the players miss, the other team gets five points.
"We give fans an opportunity to vote on different rules in the game to add excitement to the game," says Grant, 31.
When he isn't trotting around the globe, Grant lives in Fishers, Ind. "It's just a new thing we've done this year to give our fans another opportunity to" enjoy the Globetrotter experience.
Globetrotters each have nicknames, and Grant — in his eighth season with the team — got his "Dizzy" name from his teammates, who said they felt dizzy after guarding him, because his dribbling and other movements had them going in circles.
Grant, who graduated from the College of New Jersey in 2005, dreamed of playing professional basketball. During a tryout to play overseas, Grant met a Globetrotter talent scout and found a better fit than the NBA would have been, he says. Grant gets to combine his comedian streak and engaging personality with athletics.
"That's what makes (Globetrotters) so special," he says. "We're great basketball players, but we have the ability to entertain. We look for guys who can play basketball at a high level and guys who have that outgoing personality it takes to be a Harlem Globetrotter."
Part of the Globetrotters' off-court role is acting as "Ambassadors of Goodwill" by participating in community-service projects. About a week ahead of time, a Globetrotter visits the city where the team will play. They do things like the "Smile Patrol" with patients in hospitals, and the "ABCs of Bullying Prevention" in schools, which promotes the virtues of action, bravery and compassion, Grant says.
The North American Tour kicks off Dec. 26 in Pittsburgh and lasts through April. Then, players will go overseas to places like Europe, Australia, China and New Zealand.
"Come on out and have a great way to celebrate the holidays with the Harlem Globetrotters," Grant says.

|Bruins-Flyers: Three points heading into Game 3
|05.04.11 at 6:58 am ET
Everyone knows what happened after Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals last year: a Flyers Game 4 victory followed by three more in what ended up being one of the most devastating ends to a season in Bruins history.
This time around, the Bruins have set about righting that wrong, if it's possible, and they're off to the best start they could have through two games: a 2-0 series lead. Even if they take Game 3, it won't be anything new for a team that was in the same position a year ago, but they'll be sitting pretty.
It looks like they'll have to play Game 3 without Adam McQuaid, as the rookie defenseman sprained his neck trying to hit Mike Richards in Game 2. Expect Shane Hnidy to be in his place for the veterans second game this postseason. Hnidy played just 4:13 in Game 2 of the quarterfinals vs. the Canadiens when he filled in for an ill Zdeno Chara.
Injuries and substitutions aside, Wednesday's game is a pivotal one. As the B's saw last week, winning Game 3 when you're down 2-1 can change plenty, and that's what the Flyers will aim to do. On the other hand, if the B's can grab a 3-0 series lead, they'll be in good position to do what 99% of teams do with 3-0 leads. Here are a few quick points on where things stand entering a big game at the Garden:
Sure, the L's didn't start coming until game four, but the Bruins suffered a major loss in Game 3 last season when David Krejci broke his wrist. Without Krejci, the B's weren't the same team, and it had a lot to do with why Philadelphia was able to crawl back to make it a series.
This year, and after a pedestrian first round vs. the Canadiens, Krejci has been as a big a force as anyone else (except for perhaps Tim Thomas) through two games. After having difficulty finishing plays vs. the Habs, Krejci has lit up the Flyers to the tune of five points in two games, including the game-winner in overtime in Monday's Game 2.
With Marc Savard making only a 25-game cameo, Krejci was the de facto top center on the team most of the year, yet he didn't always play like it. Krejci's a guy who runs hot and cold, but he's showing that he's using the right faucet when it counts.
The Bruins aren't going to sit back and play the "what if" game with what they could have done with a healthy Krejci last year, but so far they're finding out what they can do with him this year.
Four overtime games, zero power play goals, and only one win in which they've outshot their opponent. Those are some of the interesting details of the Bruins' postseason thus far, but they'll take the results.
The B's are in no way welcoming more OT games, but given that they've won all four they've played so far, they've got to like the reputation they've developed. Contests like Game 2 are ones they most certainly won't win every time, as Thomas faced 32 shots in the third period and overtime, while the B's mustered just 12 shots. As they say, a win's a win. You'd think the B's would just rather win the way they did in the 7-3 fashion in which they took Game 1.
As for the power play, the mystery of when "the streak" will finally end (they're at 0-for-29 thus far in the playoffs), is growing in legend. Will it get to 30? 35? It looked better late in the second period Tuesday, and perhaps with the confidence of winning will come the confidence to get this ugly streak out of their heads. The B's just need to make sure their power play looks more like it did in Game 2 than it did in Game 1, when the Flyers were easily gaining possession and sending it the length of the ice.
Blaming the goaltender would be absurd, but it would be fair to say after the first two games of the quarterfinals that Thomas wasn't quite where he was earlier in the regular season. The rebounds were big, and the Habs were game-planning around them. Since then, the B's netminder has played to the lights-out standard he set way back in October. The line of thinking back then was that if the Bruins could get that kind of performance in the postseason, they'd be tough to beat. Well, they've gotten that performance, and they sure are tough to beat.
As Brad Marchand pointed out after Game 2, the Bruins had no business winning that game. The Flyers came out harder, played a fantastic game and got 54 shots on Thomas. Yet Thomas was the exception to the rule that if a team can come out flying at home, they should win.
Consider that James van Riemsdyk, who had two goals in the first 9:31 of Game 2 but was stopped on his following bids, should have had even more than the hat trick he didn't get (we make too many Ovechtrick jokes in this space, explaining the absence of an obvious reference here), but Thomas shut him down on a night nobody else could. Regardless of what an opposing team can throw out there, it seems Thomas, when at his best, trumps all. He may not have the numbers from the first month of the season, but he is playing like it and giving the B's a great chance to win each night.
Wednesday, it will be interesting to see how each team comes out. The Flyers should be desperate to avoid a 3-0 deficit, but it would be hard to top the effort they gave in Game 2. The Bruins should come out stronger if they don't want to leave it up to their goaltender again. Even if it does fall in Thomas' hands, he proved in Game 2 that he can handle it.

The Bruins and Flyers are back in Boston for Game 3 tonight at TD Garden (7 p.m.) and there's no extended wait between Games 2 and 3 like there is with the Celtics and Heat. And that's probably a good thing on many levels for the Bruins.
There's little time to think about being up two games in the series, having dominated the Flyers in pretty much every aspect of the game – except the power play, of course. There's little time to answer questions about what it's like being on the flip side of the 2-0 equation just one series after wiping out the deficit and beating the Canadiens in seven games.
These Bruins aren't about to complain about being up two games despite losing to the Flyers in a similar position last year and overcoming the 0-2 hole in the last round.
'Well it's good to be on the other side this round," Game 2 hero David Krejci said. "We can control our own things and bring it back to our building. We are going to use our fans as our seventh player and just go out there and take it game by game. Hopefully we can win the third one and go from there.'
'Like Dave said, it's better to be on this end," added Tim Thomas, who stopped 52 of 54 shots Monday, including all 10 in OT. "We do know from the way that we were able to come back last series though that a 2-0 lead in a series doesn't mean that the series is over. We still have a lot of work in front of us. As long as we take the same approach one game at a time, one period at a time, one shift at a time I think that's the right approach. So that's the way we will approach it going forward.'
2010 met 2011 in the post-game following Game 2 when a reporter asked Bruins coach Claude Julien if he realizes how tenuous a two-game lead can be. Sure, it's a great spot to be in heading home but the Bruins know what the Canadiens did.
'Well, you know, it is a nice position to be in, especially when you win the first two on the road," Julien said. "There is no doubt that it is the perfect scenario for the first two games on the road, but we are not thinking about that. We are thinking about this year. Probably half the players were not even here last year, so we can bring up whatever we want. Our goal here is to focus on what is happening this year. What happened last year is last year, so it hasn't really been on our minds. We have absolutely learned from that. We are using those kinds of things as a learning tool.
'They took a two to nothing lead and we never gave up. I believe teams that make is this far are teams that have a lot of character. We know they are not going to give up, and we know has what happened with this team. They are capable of bouncing back just as they did in the last round, so we have to be ready for them. We need to understand that the second half of tonight's game was not good enough for this hockey club. We hold ourselves responsible for higher standards, and we are going to have to be better.'
|David Krejci gets last laugh on the Flyers in Game 1
|04.30.11 at 8:21 pm ET
PHILADELPHIA — Maybe trash talking is all it took for David Krejci to rediscover his playoff mojo. That, and some really bad defense and goaltending.
While the Flyers were playing atrocious defense in front of Brian Boucher, they were also letting their big mouths do some talking, so said the Bruins forward, who got the scoring underway less than two minutes into Game 1 Saturday.
Krejci said the Flyers were reminding him that the last time he was in Philadelphia for a playoff game, he suffered an injury that changed the momentum of the series.
Krejci broke his wrist in Game 3 of the series last year, a game the Bruins won, 4-1. But Boston lost its top center – and momentum – as the Flyers came back to win four straight.
"The guys from the other team, they let me know in the first period about last year," Krejci said. "But I tried to forget about those things. This is a new year, new season, new series. We have so many new players on our team. Half of the guys didn't even experience it last year so we didn't talk about it that much.
"This is a new season and we were just focused for tonight's game."
Krejci – who scored twice and added an assist in Saturday's 7-3 romp over the Flyers- said he wasn't thrown off by the comments.
"There was yapping back and forth, so they kind of let me know but you have stay focused and I think that's what we did," Krejci said.
But certainly the temptation is to think what might have been for all Bruins players, coaches, management, equipment personnel and anyone else who follows the spoked-B. If Krejci doesn't take that hit at center ice, most believe the Bruins dispatch of the Flyers and it's the B's – not Philly – in the Cup finals against Chicago.
Was the thought in Krecji's head and did it motivate him to come out and have a strong game in the opener?
'I try not to think about what happened last year but it's in the back of my head," Krejci said. "You don't forget these things that often but I try not to think about it almost at all. It's hard but I just try to stay focused for the game and my teammates helped me out today.'
The first shot Krejci took – the first shot any Bruin took – resulted in a goal on a shaken Boucher just 1:52 into the game.

|David Krejci, Bruins beat Flyers in Game 1
|at 5:54 pm ET
PHILADELPHIA — The Bruins began the Eastern Conference semifinals on a positive note, chasing Flyers goaltender Brian Boucher in the second period and taking a 7-3 victory at Wells Fargo Center Saturday.
David Krejci and Brad Marchand each had a pair of goals, with Nathan Horton, Mark Recchi and Gregory Campbell picking up tallies for the Bruins. The first five of the Bruins' goals came against Boucher, who was pulled at 17:14 of the second period after allowing Marchand's first goal. The rookie winger picked up his second of the night by beating Sergei Bobrovsky at 14:59 of the third, and Campbell scored his first career playoff goal at 17:39.
Danny Briere, James van Riemsdyk and Mike Richards scored for the Flyers. Tim Thomas made 31 saves on the day.
The teams will play Game 2 in Philadelphia on Monday before heading to Boston to play Games 3 and 4.
– Things sure are pretty when the first line gets first-line results. Krejci had just one point — his Game 3 goal — in the seven-game series vs. the Canadiens, and his four-point performance went a long way for the B's Saturday. The B's are still waiting to get more out of Milan Lucic, who did not have a point on the day, but his linemates certainly cashed in. Horton now leads the team with four postseason goals.
– The Flyers got some rough goaltending out of Boucher, and that's obviously something the Bruins would welcome as a series-long trend. Boucher allowed five goals on 23 shots before being yanked, and some of the Bruins' goals were very soft. Recchi got his own rebound before letting an easy one trickle underneath Boucher for Boston's third goal, while Boucher knocked Horton's goal into his own net while trying to stop it. Some goals, such as Krejci's second, came as the result of traffic in front of the net, but it was just a bad showing for Boucher for the most part.
Saturday's contest marked the fourth time in eight games this postseason that the Flyers have changed goalies during a game. Goaltending was an interesting topic before the series given that the B's hold the clear advantage, so we'll see if suspect Philadelphia netminding ends up playing a bigger role than we may have initially thought.
– The success continues for Patrice Bergeron. The second-line center was Boston's best player in the conference quarterfinals vs. the Canadiens, and he had three assists on Saturday. The 25-year-old made a very nice play in redirecting an Andrew Ference shot from the point that would lead to Marchand's goal off a rebound.
– Pretty soon we're going to have to change it to "What went wrong (aside from the power play not scoring) for the Bruins." The B's couldn't bury one on any of their power plays, even when a shaky Boucher was in net for the first three. They finished 0-for-5 on the night and are now 0-for-26 in the playoffs. Yeesh.
– Sure, it was 5-1 at the time, but the Bruins allowed James van Riemsdyk's second-period tally at a dicey time. Marchand had scored 16 seconds earlier to chase Boucher from the game, so the goalie change followed by the quick goal could have given Philadelphia a bit of a spark had they kept it up. Fortunately for the Bruins, they didn't.
– Saturday marked only the second time since Game 2 of the first round that Chris Kelly's line failed to produce a point. Peverley had a three shots on goal, but Ryder and Kelly combined for just one on the day. Kelly's line was very good for the Bruins after the first couple games vs. Montreal, and the Bruins can only hope they get big production once again this round.
– The Bruins took four power plays in the first 13 minutes of the third period, and it finally paid off when Mike Richards ripped a wrist-shot past Thomas with just under seven minutes remaining in the contest. Sure, both teams in this series have bad power plays, but the B's can't assume the Flyers' is as bad as theirs.
Join DJ Bean, Mike Petraglia and others from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia as the Bruins take on the Flyers in the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second time in as many years. The live blog begins at 2:30.
|Canadiens beat Bruins to force a Game 7
|04.26.11 at 9:40 pm ET
MONTREAL — The Canadiens have forced a seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals, as they took a 2-1 victory over the Bruins Tuesday night at the Bell Centre. Game 7 will be played Wednesday night in Boston.
With both Shawn Thornton (serving a too many men bench minor) and Dennis Seidenberg (Slashing) in the box, Micahel Cammalleri gave the Habs a 1-0 lead on a blast from the circle at at 10:07 of the first. Seidenberg would make it 1-1 just 48 seconds into the second period, though Brian Gionta would score on another two-man advantage at 5:48 to give the Habs the lead once again.
Milan Lucic was given a five-minute major and game misconduct in the second period for boarding Jaroslav Spacek. The Canadiens defenseman would remain bleeding on the ice for a few moments, though he did return to the game.
– Once Lucic was tossed from the game, the Bruins didn't get much from the top line. David Krejci and Nathan Horton combined for just one shot on goal (as many as Lucic had before being ejected), and it seemed Claude Julien was giving looks to multiple forwards in Lucic's absence, including Michael Ryder, Brad Marchand and Daniel Paille. It was Paille who played with the line for much if the third period.
– It's hard for a team to win when they are on the wrong end of two separate 5-on-3s. The Habs found themselves with a two-man advantage in both the first and second periods, and scored on both of them.
Denting the B's chances at a comeback late in the third was a high stick called on Chris Kelly with 3:10 remaining in regulation. The penalty box, as it tends to be, was an enemy Boston's Tuesday night.
– As great as Patrice Bergeron has been for the Bruins this series, Tuesday was not a night to remember for the B's center. He negated an early B's power play (not that it's such a bad thing) by going off for goaltender interference late in the first. He also caused one of the two-man advantages by flipping the puck over the glass in Boston's zone.
– While the Canadiens were able to take advantage of special teams, the B's weren't. Their power play looked especially dreadful in going 0-for-4 on the night. Through six games, they are now 0-for-19 in this series.
– Nice play by Dennis Seidenberg early in the second period to step out from behind the net and beat Carey Price on a quasi-wraparound. The goal was his first of the postseason, but with the goal, he now has points in each game at the Bell Centre this series. He had one assist in both Game 3 and Game 4.
– Rich Peverley came ready. The third-line winger led the team with five shots on goal and picked up an assist on Seidenberg's tally in the second period. The 28-year-old now has four points ( 1 G, 3 A) in the last four games of the series.
– The Habs appeared to score the first goal early, as Tim Thomas had no idea where the puck was when it wad mere inches from his blocker. Gionta came flying in to whack it home, but an apparent earlier whistle negated the goal. The referees were more than generous with makeup calls going forward, so ultimately it didn't pay off as much as it could have.

POLITICAL NOTEBOOK: Did Minneapolis lose Dem convention ground?
ST. PAUL -- Minnesota's bid for a second straight national political convention may have taken a hit in this month's Republican-dominated elections.
The Charlotte (North Carolina) Observer's Jim Morrill writes: "The four states that Democrats are considering to host their 2012 national convention showed off their hospitality ... to Republicans."

Tribeca Movie Review: RAZZLE DAZZLE The Lost World
Posted on Thursday, May 3rd, 2007 by SlashFilm Staff
The following film was screened at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.
Razzle Dazzle
Spotlight, Narrative
Dir: Ken Jacobs
With his new installment, noted experimental filmmaker Ken Jacobs aims to distort his images to such extreme length, as to reconceptualize them and give them a whole new meaning. The tool of choice for him is repetition, repetition, repetition. Jacobs takes what seems like the ordinary, the sublime, the mundane, and turns it into something altogether haunting. Akin to other fringe filmmakers such as Hollis Frampton, Bruce Baillie, and Chris Marker, the work of Jacobs has influenced the likes of Harmony Korine, and to a lesser degree, Michel Gondry. His various works, including Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son (1969) and Star Spangled to Death (2004), are considered important pieces within the world of avant-garde cinema.

Keywords: Condominium, beachfront, penthouse, resort
My husband and I are retired business owners who bought the condo for personal
and rental use, back in 2005.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2005
We found SPI to be the perfect 'beachlife'
community. The layed back island lifestyle, along with the beautiful beaches, excellent fishing, friendly people, and great restaurants were just impossible to pass up.
We had a great time ad a much needed vacation. Condo was wonderful.
SPI is the best. Always sad to leave but, great memories made. We will be back
Just returned from a long Labor Day weekend at this beautiful condo. What a fantastic time my daughter and I had. The condo was spacious, extremely clean, and well stocked. Every detail had been attended to. Kay has done a beautiful job decorating and creating a home away from home in paradise. Because of the wonderful views from the 15th floor you can see Boca Chica beach, the cove and ship channel, South Bay, parts of Port Isabel, and even the causeway. It's as if you are surrounded by water. When I was searching for a Labor Day get-away condo, the penthouse terrace caught my eye. It did not disappoint. Beautiful views!! I have stayed all over South Padre Island but never at Saida. Now I'm wondering why. It is a wonderful complex. I highly recommend a stay here in this gorgeous penthouse condo!
This condo is absolutely perfect! The view from the balcony and the upstairs patio was breathtaking. We had 4 adults and 1 pre-teen in the condo and we had plenty of room. The beach was just steps away from the condo building and having the choice of 3 swimming pools was wonderful. There were plenty of beach supplies and toys, as well as pool toys, to help make the stay even more enjoyable. The condo was in perfect condition when we arrived and was very clean. We are hoping to stay again in the future! We LOVED IT!!!
Thank-you Kay and Guy, We really enjoyed the stay at you penthouse it was very nice and the view was to die for. We could see all of the island front and back very nice. And thank-you for all the thing you did for us, nice to work with people like Kay and Guy. Would love to come back next year. Sam and Jerry
Very nice condo with extra amenities that really made our stay enjoyable. Loved that we were right on the beach and our grandson was completely entertained with the beach toys. Having those things available to us made it so much easier to visit the beach. South Padre was very quiet this time of year, so no crowds and very relaxing. We also appreciated the security provided by the building, the comfort and views from the condo and the roof top at night was outstanding.
This condo rates A+ in our book! The view is spectacular, especially for watching the Friday night fireworks display and the meteor shower that comes around this time every year. The rooftop balcony is perfect for panoramic views of the island, as well as, relaxing with family and friends.
The bedroom accomodations are perfect for a family of 6, and the hide-a-bed came in handy for our little one, who couldn't sleep without a tv :)
We would recommend this condo to anyone looking for clean, classy décor in a very relaxing and convenient location on South Padre Island. The fact that there is a manned security office AND front desk 24/7 makes it easy to forget your worries. Thanks Kay & Guy for sharing your little piece of heaven!
We've stayed at the condo a few times now and continue to be impressed each time. Kay has always been easy to get in touch with when we have questions. We've also been impressed with how the condo is maintained over our visits -- the new appliances are very nice and we consistently see other small improvements throughout. Looking forward to our next visit.
Other Activities: shopping, miniature golf, shuffleboard, boating, shelling, parasailing

We stayed here for the Music City Bowl. The KOA is located very close to Opryland and a $10 round-trip shuttle ride to downtown Nashville. I would call the site spacing adequate, and the facilities are good considering they are coming back from a flood. My only minor complaints are the price being on the high end and the road noise - neither are major. Would stay here again. - Cousin Eddy
We stayed here in July and came back to visit Grand Old Oprey. Very convenient to shopping, restaurants and the Grand Old Oprey. Pricey but great location and very clean. - Tomandgloria
Absolutely one of the most convenient and beautiful KOA Campgrounds in the United States. Can't say enough good about the Nashville KOA campground. We visited during "Daddy Daughter Road Trip 2014" and my daughter and I were very pleased with the accommodations. We stayed at a pull-through site with patio and fire ring. The water pressure is great, the site is easy to access, adequate cable channels, well maintained. They are also doing 14 million dollars in renovations to the old side of the park, which I'm sure will be just as amazing when they are complete. I'd recommend this park to any camper headed to the Nashville area. - HumbleGuy

This rate reflects the senior federal passport rate. This is a very nice park, restrooms and showers are extremely clean and very well maintained. Hosts and other campers were helpful and friendly. They advertise 4 pull-thrus but they are not possible for most big rigs to get into. Sites are paved and mostly level. All sites are shaded. It is on a beautiful lake with a swimming area and boat launch. Most campgrounds in the Nashville are very expensive so this was a great choice. We will definitely stay here again if back in the area. - SandyA
As stated, this park is a bit out of the way but very quiet and serene. The other Nashville parks are closer with more amenities but are also close sites along the freeway. This park is quiet and has a swimming beach and playground. Some of the sites can be a challenge to get into. We were in # 49 and those near us seemed okay. If there is a question, just call and the hosts will help you. It took about 10-12 minutes to get to route 40 and about 35 min to downtown Nashville and about 20 min to Opryland. - twins89
This is a beautiful and well maintained COE campground. It's a little off the beaten path, but well worth the effort to find. Most sites are large and easy to get in and out of. The waterfront sites book up months in advance, so book early. - User3572

It's hard to rate this park because it isn't fair to compare it to most rv parks. If you know what you are getting here, it probably rates higher than the 5 I gave it. If you try to compare it to a "normal" rv park, it would probably rate lower. Thus, the mid-range score. It's all about the location--close, easy access to interstates, downtown, and to major shopping centers. And the price is much better than those nicer parks that are further out of town. We felt quite secure here, even though the neighborhood ranges from industrial to low income housing. We stayed a Tuesday & Wednesday. Wednesday night flea market vendors started showing up, and told us (very politely) that other vendors would be coming in starting Thursday and we were "in their spot." Okay with us since we were leaving then, anyway. We didn't call ahead, and we were never contacted by anyone to collect payment. Utilities include sewer, water and electric, and the sewer was just an open hole in the ground--no cover, but worked okay. We would stay here again. - MissMyGolden
This isn't a campground, but a vendor RV parking for the fairgrounds. If there isn't an event, the lot is fairly empty. It's first come first serve and good for just staying over night, which was all we needed for our visit. Even though in the city, we felt safe and it was quiet except for racing at the track on the grounds on Sunday afternoon. We would stay here again. - the burtons
This is one of the strangest parks we have camped in, but for us it was perfect. We go to Nashville to go out to the music venues and not to hang around the RV park. We have stayed in nicer places (Seven Points, Cedar Creek, and Nashville Country) but none were as convenient to our haunts downtown and the Station Inn and Bluebird Cafe. It was two miles to lower Broadway and less than a mile to 3rd and Lindsley and Douglas Corner. We were almost by ourselves the whole time, maybe five other RVs at the most. It is basically one strip of the parking area around the fairgrounds, about 100 yards from the motor speedway track and a similar distance to the agricultural buildings of the fair. The sites are up on a little hill and you can actually watch the cars race if you pick the end space (we did). It is very quiet and we felt safe here because the sites are so visible to the streets below. To be sure it is primitive and not beautiful, but it has full hook ups, a great location and quiet. We had to cover our bedroom vent because the street light was right above us and very bright. Next trip to Nashville we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else! - MrSunshine

Great park. Clean. The office gals were very nice and helpful. Didn't use any of the facilities. The back ins were easy and the sites level. This is our second time here. Trees around us but being the winter we had clear access for the satellite. Not sure how it would be in the summer. - burtonsbuggy
All in all, it's a good campsite. The people working there were friendly and knowledgeable. Convenient to get to, and although close to the road, it was quiet at the back of the campground. It has a few shortcomings, including not enough 50 amp sites. Our site was a little short for our rig. The sewer connection was just under the water hook up, which I don't like.
I would definitely stay there again. - northern ranger
This RV park is very clean, friendly, helpful staff and is convenient for travellers that want to see the sights of Nashville. There's a shuttle van that picks up/drops off from this park for 10.00 per person which is very cheap considering parking rates in downtown area. We stayed for 4 nights and really enjoyed everything. Only reason I didn't give the park a 10 was the internet was sporadic during our stay. Would absolutely stay here again.. - Shirley Briand

Rate based upon multiple day stay at Passport America rate. It was raining everyday of our stay and many sites were under water. Ours was not but it was extremely muddy. Its not totally treed but most sites have two mature trees that canopy the site. It's likely nice and shady in the summer but this time of year the trees drop twigs and small dead branches on your RV and vehicles. Its very noisy and you will need to shovel off your slides before leaving. The majority of the residents are seasonal/permanent and there are a significant number of unsupervised minors at the park. Most of the minors are well behaved but pay no attention to the quiet hours and were very noisy till after midnight. Only one restroom was open and while the sinks and toilets looked clean the floor was like the inside of a barn: very muddy (likely due to the constant rain). The laundry room on the other hand was very dirty and I used my finger to write my name on a dryer door in the dust. The park is certainly not worth the high daily rate (PA was $36) but you are paying for the great location. - retiringDO
We stayed for 4 nights and would definitely recommend this park. We lucked out and were there for the start of their Christmas Dancing Lights show. As guests of the park you get to drive through this spectacular for free - it was absolutely amazing - so good in fact that we drove through twice. Even if you don't stay at Jellystone go and pay the entrance fee and do the tour. The park had the best wifi we have ever had at a park, the site we had, even though it didn't have sewer hook up, was very level with plenty of space for our 40 foot 5th wheeler. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only issue we had was that the dump station was closed however we just pulled up to a vacant site and dumped there... - Aussie Gap Year
So relieved to get here after bad weather. People were very nice, and we had an easy to get into pull-through site with no leveling needed. It's a large campground, so there was room to walk our dogs. Site are well spaced with good room between rigs. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. - excel14

Rules: Even if President Obama and John Boehner work out a deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff," the U.S. is still careening toward a another cliff, thanks to Obama's massively expensive, if little noticed, regulatory agenda.
As IBD reported before the election, Obama's regulatory minions had temporarily put several costly new rules on ice to protect the president from charges that he was anti-business and to shield the economy from the effects of all these huge new regulatory burdens.
But almost as soon as voters decided to give Obama four more years, his regulators once again sprang into action.
Or as the AP put it, "Since the election, the Obama administration has quietly reopened the regulations pipeline."
The latest is a costly new rule that tightens allowable levels of so-called fine particulate matter. That will make it far harder for local governments to issue new manufacturing permits if they are to stay in compliance with the new standard.
Worse, the new rule isn't even needed, since the EPA's own data show levels of this pollutant — called PM 2.5 — steadily declining under the existing standard.
The National Association of Manufacturers called the EPA's decision a "staggering level of shortsightedness." That's putting it mildly.
The public also didn't learn until after the election that they will each have to pay a $63 fee, thanks to new ObamaCare regulations.
In essence, this is a surprise $25 billion tax hike — imposed on everyone, middle-class families included — to offset what the administration admits will be a massive disruption in the insurance market once ObamaCare's rules kick in.
In addition, the EPA has proposed water quality rules for beaches. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants to require automakers to include "black box" data recorders in every car starting in 2014.
And these are just a taste of the regulatory calamities that lie ahead now that Obama has four more years to "remake" the American economy. Sen. James Inhofe has a 14-page report outlining just the expected EPA regulations for 2013.
Among the others waiting in the wings: New greenhouse gas rules, new rules for "clean" gasoline, new smog rules, new clean water rules, new food safety rules, and still more auto mandates.
There are also rules in the works covering coal ash, toxic pollutants, cooling water intakes at power plants, sunscreens, new efficiency standards, and various workplace rules.
Plus there's a mountain of ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank rules still to be written.
