How Did Scotty Know

Yesterday afternoon, Scotty Bowman was on Detroit radio and pointed out one thing he has witnessed during the playoffs. He said players are going down way too much and most of the refs are buying it. Scotty mentioned the NHL needs to do something about this because there are way too many penalties as it is. Watching a few games last night, diving or embellishment was prevalent in many of the games. Were any diving calls made? I am not sure but Bowman is bang on- this needs to be cleared up right now before it really gets out of hand. Time for the refs to start handing out diving calls and don't call the opposing team penalty, that would be a step in the right direction.

Racing Heartbeat Again For Numminen

from the Buffalo News,
Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff breached playoff protocol and revealed the reason defenseman Teppo Numminen exited Game Three after skating only 30 seconds in the second period. Ruff was compelled to inform reporters because Numminen wasn't hurt. The situation was more serious than that. "He had a racing heartbeat. I'm not going to hide that," Ruff said after Thursday morning's optional practice in the Wachovia Center. "It wasn't anything physical [in terms of an injury]. It's something that he's had before and dealt with it." The Sabres are optimistic Numminen will return for Game Four tonight.continued

from the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Denis Gauthier admits that he sometimes takes stupid penalties. "I won't deny that I have had brain [cramps] in my career," the Flyers' hardest-hitting defenseman said. He wished people could see the other side of him. "I'm a laid-back, quiet guy," Gauthier said. "I change my kids' diapers." He believes a black cloud has hovered over him in his career - in Calgary, in Phoenix, and now in Philadelphia.continued

Bad Ice

from the Calgary Sun,
The best ice at the Arrowhead Pond is in the drinks. It sure isn't where the players perform. "At least it's consistent -- you know it's going to be bad," said Flames forward Shean Donovan with a grin. "That's just the way the ice gets here. "When you first come out, the first five minutes, it's pretty good because there's nobody on it. After that, it just deteriorates because it gets so soft and gets so many ruts. Then it gets snowy and the puck gets bouncy."read on

Frustrated Torts

from the St. Petersburg Times,
"I thought we were playing very well and then three goals on four shots," Tortorella said. "That really deflates a hockey team there." Tortorella did not hold back on blaming Grahame, who was yanked for Sean Burke after allowing four goals on 17 shots in two periods. "A save would be nice," Tortorella said. "They're a good hockey team. They've got quality players. It's just deflating to see 17 shots and four goals in the net, eh? Let's call a spade a spade. That's a tough thing." More Tortorella: "Again, we need an occasional save. Listen, Johnny is trying like hell, but four goals on 17 shots? I'm a little tired of the 25 percent rule."more added 11:05am, from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
Tampa Bay coach John Tortorella's rip job on goaltender John Grahame after the Lightning lost to Ottawa in Game 4 Thursday was so raw, so mean-spirited, that the other Tampa bay players might be thinking, "Whoa, I might be the next guy who gets thrown under the bus.more You can also watch the video of Tortorella's comments via Sportsnet.

Can You Say Special Teams

from Fox Sports,
Whether you're playing pee wee hockey or NHL hockey, special teams always play a role in the outcome of games. "Special teams always play a huge role and this is the first year we have the new rules implemented and they've been calling them pretty tight in the playoffs and it's amazing how a call here or a call there can be the difference in a game," New Jersey's John Madden, one of the game's premier defensive forwards, said. "So you have to be really disciplined and your special teams have to be on the ball if you're going to compete and move on and win hockey games."read on

from the Tennessean,
Would somebody convince Predators management to reconsider its plan to black out the local broadcast of Game 5 if a certain ticket threshold is not reached? Why not let as many people as possible experience the Predators' farewell?... Craig Leipold and his lieutenants need to re-read the owner's comments in the days after the lockout ended. At that time, Leipold talked about using this first season back as an opportunity to re-establish his hockey product in the Nashville market. Did everybody lose that memo?more

Do You Have Faith

from the Hockey News,
-To watch the Tampa Bay Lightning lose 5-2 to the Senators Thursday night was to watch a team entirely without faith in its goaltending. -It's amazing how quickly post-season missteps can undo regular-season success. Isn't that right, Tom Renney and the New York Rangers/Dave Tippett and the Dallas Stars? -The New Jersey Devils have been vilified for playing boring hockey over the years, and the label was not undeserved. But has there been any more of a thrilling offensive line this post-season than Patrik Elias, Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta?more

Staff was excellent. Continental breakfast was good.
Room was a little loud for our infant son (next to train tracks/road)
That it accommodated our family of 5.
Our view was of the roof of the building.
The bed was comfortably firm, and the continental breakfast was excellent.
The air conditioner barely worked, and the pillows weren't very comfortable. As a result, we didn't get much sleep, because we were sweating all night, and couldn't get situated correctly because of the pillows.
the easy access to the freeway. Lots of parking for rv's, trailers and large trucks.
the swimming pool was not ready.
the pool.....it is why I come here....

Do you live in New York? Are you a millionaire?
You're in good company, as a new study released today found that more than one in every 25 New Yorkers is worth at least $1 million. Consulting firm WealthInsight, in conjunction with Spear's magazine, took on the Herculean task of ranking the world's top 20 global cities based on portion of population exceeding $1 million in net worth.
New York is the top U.S. city to make the list with 4.63 percent of its population, or 389,100 people, worth at least $1 million — the other two are Houston (No. 18) and San Francisco (No. 19). Analysts at WealthInsight credited the rankings in large part to banking and financial centers, which were overly represented in the top cities (Monaco, Zurich, and Geneva claimed the first three spots, respectively).
Check out the full list via Spear's — then consider copying my plan of grabbing a lotto ticket on the way home. Sarah Eberspacher
Michael B. Jordan: 'The world is a little more diverse in 2015 than when the Fantastic Four comic first came out in 1961'
Johnny Storm, also known as The Human Torch and one-fourth of Marvel's Fantastic Four, was originally written as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed daredevil. So when Michael B. Jordan was announced as the new face of Storm in Marvel's reboot, he says he expected some pushback.
"You're not supposed to go on the Internet when you're cast as a superhero," Jordan wrote in an open letter for Entertainment Weekly. "(But) I didn't want to be ignorant about what people were saying."
Jordan's online hunt turned up comments that boiled down to: "A black guy? I don't like it," he says.
"I can see everybody's perspective, and I know I can't ask the audience to forget 50 years of comic books," Jordan adds. "But the world is a little more diverse in 2015 than when the Fantastic Four comic first came out in 1961."

President Barack Obama moved one step closer to completing the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal with 11 other countries, as the Senate voted in favor of fast-track legislation on the deal, on Friday night. The legislation would help Obama move more quickly toward a finalized agreement on the TPP, by letting Congress use quick up-or-down votes, sans amendments, on specific trade deal details.
The bill now moves to the House, where it will likely face tougher passage, and where, The Washington Post notes, it has an unusual, bipartisan proponent: Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) who is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and leading Republican support of the legislation. Sarah Eberspacher
With several hours left before official results are announced, Ireland already appears set to pass a historic referendum allowing same-sex marriage, The New York Times reports.
The country would be the first in the world to legalize gay marriage by a popular vote; early ballot counts have found voters resoundingly in favor of the measure. And while no official announcement has yet been made, opposition leader David Quinn already tweeted his concession to the proposal's supporters: "Congratulations to the Yes side. Well done." Sarah Eberspacher
California officials on Friday accepted a compromise offer from Delta farmers, who proposed forgoing a quarter of their water supplies due to the state's "unprecedented drought," The New York Times reports.
California's agricultural industry accounts for 80 percent of the state's water consumption per year, but farmers in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta own some of the state's most senior water rights — and The Sacramento Bee notes that they have historically held tight to those claims. Representatives for the Delta's nearly 4,000 farmers said they expected most to participate in the cutbacks, either by farming less of their acreage or planting crops that require less water.

The Rare Tea Company caters to true tea connoisseurs, says Ming Lui at How To Spend It. Founder Henrietta Lovell specializes in creating bespoke blends of the world's finest teas, which will run you a hefty $7,870 for first blending and a three-month supply. Three one-on-one tasting sessions are usually required; if you can't visit her London shop, she can fly to you. After teasing out a customer's flavor and mouthfeel preferences, Lovell provides up to 10 samples before arriving at the final blend. Because flavors change depending on the season when the tea leaves are picked, each custom blend is tweaked regularly to provide a consistent flavor.
Marques Haynes, arguably one of the Harlem Globetrotters' all-time best players, died on Friday in Plano, Texas, at age 89, The Dallas Morning News reports.
Haynes first signed on with the Globetrotters in 1948, for $400 per season. He quite nearly became the NBA's first black player in 1950, but missed that opportunity due to disagreements with the Globetrotters' owner. However, Haynes still became the first Globetrotter inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, in 1998.
(AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez, File)
"A guy asked me a long time ago if I ever thought I'd get into the NBA Hall of Fame," Haynes told Dallas Morning News reporter Robert Wilonsky in 2007. "My answer was: 'The world is my Hall of Fame.'"
The world was also Haynes' stage: Considered one of the best ball handlers in history, Haynes played before fans in 97 countries, in more than 12,000 games. Sarah Eberspacher
Wyoming has made it illegal to collect evidence of water pollution and other violations of environmental laws. The ban is designed to protect the state's cattle farmers, who often let herds graze on public lands and defecate near rivers and streams, polluting them with E. coli bacteria. State Sen. Larry Hicks said the ban would prevent environmentalists from interfering with important "economic activity."

I lost my virginity to a boy who killed himself less than a week later. We ha d a relationship in a place of work and I tell my friends at home that I lost my virginity but not that he is dead.

I can understand why. You let him do things like that with you and he went off and killed himself. The guy must of not been the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. He had something good going for him with you. I would give over half my body for something like that again. You seem like a good person, because you have hid it from everyone like that, trying to keep his name clean, or at least your own. Bravo.

The major parties' delegates' picks for governor are in.
On the left, it's Margaret Anderson Kelliher. Despite buzz that she and R.T. Rybak were neck and neck going into the April 25 Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party's endorsing battle, the veteran state official turned out to be too strong for Minneapolis' mayor.
During all five balloting rounds, Kelliher was No. 1 while Rybak was a consistent No. 2. Rybak never pulled within 3 percent of Kelliher. While a sixth round of ballots was being counted — more than 12 hours after the day's activity began — Rybak withdrew.
"The stakes right now are too great for us to delay and divide any longer," he said.
Accepting the endorsement, Kelliher thanked Rybak for being a "class act."
"It's always hard to run against a good friend," she said.
Up next for Kelliher? Another DFL battle.
Moving on to the primary, she'll face two fellow party members who chose to forego the endorsement process, Mark Dayton and Matt Entenza. Both will bring significant name recognition to the table, Dayton as a former U.S. senator, Entenza as a former state representative and attorney general candidate.
On the right, Republicans on April 30 chose to endorse Tom Emmer, a six-year representative from Delano.
"Government has literally invaded every aspect of our life," Emmer said in a fiery pre-balloting speech. "We will look forward, and we will set a course for where this state needs to be."
He beat out fellow legislator Marty Seifert, who was expected to be a tough competitor to Emmer but found himself with a 10-point deficit after just one round of ballots. Emmer's lead expanded in the second round, and Seifert withdrew from the race.
Both candidates alluded to a need to stand together as a party, especially as the DFL's candidates enter their primary battle. Seifert gave a deliberate nod to Kelliher's challengers.
"I want to thank Mark Dayton and Matt Entenza for running in an expensive and wasteful DFL primary," he said. "Thank you, Mark and Matt."
The Independence Party's state convention was scheduled for May 8, after this edition of the Downtown Journal went to press.
The primary is Aug. 10, the election Nov. 2.
Stadium bill here, maybe gone soon
A bill finally landed in the Legislature this month to finance a new home for the Minnesota Vikings.
After rumblings all legislative session that something was cooking, a plan appeared May 4 that would fund construction of a $791 million stadium. As proposed, the team would be responsible for $264 million while taxpayers would cover the remaining $527 million largely through taxes on sports memorabilia, lodging and car rentals.
The Vikings would be held to a 40-year lease as part of the deal. A stadium location isn't specified.
Although the issue has gotten its share of media attention, the bill's fate looks less like that of the one that got Target Field built and more like the many that failed over a decade of efforts by the Minnesota Twins.
While a Senate committee approved the plan 9-3 on May 5, things were murkier on the House of Representatives side. There, a committee shot down much of the public funding proposal and instead offered a Minneapolis Convention Center tax as the main source. That plan received a harsh response from Minneapolis officials.
Furthermore, in the middle of stadium discussions, the state Supreme Court released its unallotment decision. That put a possible multibillion-dollar budget deficit back atop the list of legislative priorities before the session ends May 17.
The Vikings' lease at the Metrodome runs out next year.
Supreme Court rules Pawlenty erred with cuts
Gov. Tim Pawlenty exceeded his authority by unilaterally cutting $2.7 billion from the state budget last year, the state Supreme Court ruled this month.
In the 4-3 decision, released May 5, Chief Justice Eric Magnuson said it's the Legislature's responsibility to create budgets and the governor's to execute them. Although the unallotment tool Pawlenty used last year is meant to fill budget gaps, it should only come into play after unforeseen circumstances affect adopted budgets. Because Pawlenty's own veto of the Legislature's proposed budget created last year's hole, unallotment did not legally apply, according to the decision.
The case involved only the unallotment of a relatively small diet program, but the ruling could void all of Pawlenty's cuts. In a statement, the governor said he strongly disagreed with the court.
"Nonetheless," he said, "it will require the Legislature and my administration to address its budget impacts. The funds do not exist to reinstate my unallotments, and the state budget needs to be balanced without raising taxes."
The decision arrived less than two weeks before the scheduled end of the legislative session. By law, the budget has to be balanced.
