A grand and revelatory portrait of Wall Street's most storied investment bank
Wall Street investment banks move trillions of dollars a year, make billions in fees, pay their executives in the tens of millions of dollars. But even among the most powerful firms, Lazard Frères & Co. stood apart. Discretion, secrecy, and subtle strategy were its weapons of choice. For more than a century, the mystique and reputation of the "Great Men" who worked there allowed the firm to garner unimaginable profits, social cachet, and outsized influence in the halls of power. But in the mid-1980s, their titanic egos started getting in the way, and the Great Men of Lazard jeopardized all they had built.
William D. Cohan, himself a former high-level Wall Street banker, takes the reader into the mysterious and secretive world of Lazard and presents a compelling portrait of Wall Street through the tumultuous history of this exalted and fascinating company. Cohan deconstructs the explosive feuds between Felix Rohatyn and Steve Rattner, superstar investment bankers and pillars of New York society, and between the man who controlled Lazard, the inscrutable French billionaire Michel David-Weill, and his chosen successor, Bruce Wasserstein.
Cohan follows Felix, the consummate adviser, as he reshapes corporate America in the 1970s and 1980s, saves New York City from bankruptcy, and positions himself in New York society and in Washington. Felix's dreams are dashed after the arrival of Steve, a formidable and ambitious former newspaper reporter. By the mid-1990s, as Lazard neared its 150th anniversary, Steve and Felix were feuding openly.
The internal strife caused by their arguments could not be solved by the imperious Michel, whose manipulative tendencies served only to exacerbate the trouble within the firm. Increasingly desperate, Michel took the unprecedented step of relinquishing operational control of Lazard to one of the few Great Men still around, Bruce Wasserstein, then fresh from selling his own M&A boutique, for $1.4 billion. Bruce's take: more than $600 million. But it turned out Great Man Bruce had snookered Great Man Michel when the Frenchman was at his most vulnerable.
The LastTycoons is a tale of vaulting ambitions, whispered advice, worldly mistresses, fabulous art collections, and enormous wealth—a story of high drama in the world of high finance.

I have had recent rolls out of this camera processed by a lab and at home without this problem. So either it has happened very recently or it's somehow related to the cold weather. If I can shoot a test roll indoors without a problem then maybe I can narrow it down to temperature.

Sickle Cell: 10 Things Every EP Should Know about SCD
After evaluating this article, participants will be able to:
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder of hemoglobin that affects nearly 100,000 Americans. Since its discovery 101 years ago, SCD has fallen largely under the academic jurisdiction of hematology. Today, a small group of clinicians/researchers/scientists (mostly hematologists) works to add to the body of sickle cell literature (a pubmed search for "sickle cell" returns less than 20,000 articles, compared to 120,000 for asthma and over 150,000 for CHF). Meanwhile outside of the ivory tower, SCD falls largely under the clinical jurisdiction of emergency medicine. SCD is marked by recurrent acute events (pain, stroke, acute chest syndrome), many of which result in an ED visit. While evidence to guide the emergency care of SCD patients is limited, there are several important points we can glean from the available literature. As one of very few emergency physicians with an interest in SCD, I've compiled a list of ten things I think every emergency practitioner should know.
Parvovirus antibody testing is not useful for rapid diagnosis. The critical action for the EP is to recognize the infection (low hemoglobin and low reticulocyte count) and isolate the patient immediately from pregnant patients and healthcare workers (Parvovirus infection during pregnancy is associated with fetal hydrops and stillbirth). Once the patient is isolated, a hematology consultant can inform the decision to initiate treatment with IVIG infusion.
Sickle cell pain crisis is a diagnosis of exclusion.Patients with SCD are also at risk for diseases that affect the rest of the population. Always formulate a differential diagnosis. For example, in the SCD patient with right lower quadrant pain, consider appendicitis, ovarian torsion, pelvic inflammatory disease and kidney stone before simple pain crisis. When managing pain, use opiates aggressively and base the dosage on the patients home opiate usage whenever possible. Higher opiate doses up front will result in less opiate administration overall. Be compassionate and non-judgemental.
Emergency management of SCD patients can be both challenging and rewarding. With these principals in mind, anyone can provide exceptional care to people with SCD.

So the typically dark and cold November evening got a completely different mood, while listening to music of uplifting kind (Suede and David Bowie in my case) and going to see a live music perform's energy.
Mari's Coffee was already a familiar venue to me, since my friends have played there as well - that's how I knew that it could be very intimate setting especially for band like Amorphis is and got curious because of that. After all it's quite small place, kind of mix of restaurant / cafeteria, bar and gig site. It was going to be an interesting gig due to all these aspects.
And I wasn't wrong after all. This one the most intimate gig from this band that I have seen so far, having figuratively "playing in a livingroom"-feeling, so the atmosphere was certainly tangible. Must even say that witnessing some of my favourites (Brother Moon, Drowned Maid, Weeper On the Shore, From the Heaven of My Heart) in this kind of setting will be among my most memoriable gig experiences.
The audience seemed to be full of energy as well, but I don't think it's wonder as Amorphis doesn't visit in this corner of country that often after all! Can't say the exact number of the people there, but at least hundred anyway. People could stand right next to the stage - even though the stage was really low, there wasn't a barrier like usually. And there was seemingly a low ceiling as well; when Tomi rose to his platform and uplifted the microphone in his hand, he hit it to a spotlight in the ceiling...
So the gig itself was enjoyable also for the set list. This time there were no acoustic guitars though, but they still played that new arrangement of My Kantele. Since they didn't play Drowned Maid in Lahti's gig month ago, I was glad that it was included in the set this time.
Yet it was pity that Tomi K seemed to have some technical problems with his instrument, now and then he had to run away from the stage with the guitar. Nevertheless the sympathetic rhythm guitarist seemed to be in good mood and was smiling a lot, as usual, and after House of Sleep he even shook hands with people close to the stage (I managed as well, though honestly it was more like a quick slap than decent handshake, heh).
Great evening indeed.

Ontic's 1981 R80G/S build-up thread
View Single Post
SS Blowhard
Joined: Oct 2008
Location: Gold Coast
Oddometer: 2,708
I went for 1000cc kit '77 S heads with a few mods, 9.5:1 pistons and Del Orto carbs in one hit.
Dual plugs came a few years along with valve seats and a mod to the squish band to adress pinging with the intoduction of unleaded fuel.
I have about 350,000 km on the bores and pistons with one ring replacement a couple sets of valve guides plus a set of guides when I did the valve seats.
Bottom end is still in good shape as are the cam and rockers.
Gear box has been trouble free.
I seem to have stopped wearing out universal joints.
I seem to be hard on the final drive but it does cop a bigger pounding since I went to USD forks 5 or 6 years ago.
I put 100,000km on the stock motor.
I did gearbox & final drive bearings as well as valve guides in the 100,000 as well as a couple of drive shafts.
With the stock motor I was always ringing it neck and got poor fuel ecomomy.
With the 1000kit I can get the response and performance I want with a turn of the wrist.
Motor will run on 91, E10 or Opal.
It runs fastest on 95.
I use 98 makes me feel better about running hot slugging it through the trees.
I average around 15- 17km /lt and have achieved 22-24km/lt running good dirt road in top gear at 80kph.
Stock motor would deliver in the 15-17 km/lt range never seeing better but sometimes returning 12.5 with the lowest ever 10.3 on a fang thru the hills.
I'm due for a new set of barrels (have been for the last 35,000ks)
I am still interested in a 1070 kit mainly for the mid range.
When I think back to what a blast this bike was when the 1000 motor was fresh and what it does now I'm thinking a fresh set of barrels, pistons & rings with a valve grind and new guides would give me back everything it had that impressed me as a 28 year old rev head.
If I went 1070 I'd need more brake and suspension upgrades as well as a higher 5th gear and posibly exhaust replacement with 38 or 40mm to get the best out of it.
The cost of the kit and associated upgrades is a bit scary .
For the same money I could have a very nice second hand enduro, a husky TE610 or a new SX85 for the budding MX rider in the family so I'll probably just go for another 1000 kit.
The Seibenrock power up kit with the standard heads and 32mm bings is reported to be a torque monster.
My bike is slow but the earth is patient.

The eight-passenger Land Cruiser is so far removed from its progenitor, but who cares with this leather-lined no-option machine . . . just pick a color.
Toyota's 5.7-liter V8 kicks out 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque; four-wheel-drive helps get you anywhere you want to go and an 8,500-pound towing capacity means you can take your toys with you.
While the Germans and others are embracing luxury SUVs with abandon, few would believe that Toyota has been doing it longer than just about anyone. After more than 50 years as Toyota's top-gun off-roader, the Land Cruiser is the company's most expensive sport-utility vehicle. It uses body-on-frame construction that's shared with its up-market Lexus LX 570 relation. A couple years back, Toyota freshened the Land Cruiser inside and out, although you would have been forgiven if you didn't instantly spot the new grille and the bright high-intensity-discharge (HID) headlights, light-emitting-diode (LED) running lights and bigger fenders. Thrust comes via a 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 and a six-speed automatic transmission, which is a powertrain that's shared with both the Lexus and Toyota's own Tundra pickup. The fuel-economy rating is just 13/18 mpg city/highway, but if you're in need of large off-road hauler, fuel consumption might be a secondary issue, anyway. Full-time four-wheel-drive with a boulder-crawling low range is standard as is a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System that basically varies the stiffness of the anti-roll bars depending on whether you're carving rush-hour traffic or need things loosened up a lot for severe off-roading. Other rough-and-tumble technologies include a crawl-control mode that sets the throttle in one of five positions (used when the transfer case of the standard 4×4 system is switched to low range). This allows the driver to focus on the terrain and driving without having to pay much attention to the throttle. To slow down, just tap the brake pedal, and to speed back up, release it. Other technology includes trailer sway control, a rapid-start electric heating system (standard equipment) with 28 vents as well as four-zone climate control. The Land Cruiser is obviously equipped to coddle with information displays, radar-based cruise control, heated and cooled front-row seats (leather all around), power sunroof, 14-speaker premium audio system and 10 airbags including second-row side-impact protection and knee-blocker airbags for the driver and front passenger.

And who will these new overseers be? From Darrell Issa on the Oversight Committee, to Dave Camp at Ways and Means, to Lamar Smith at Judiciary, expect to see investigations launched and Cabinet secretaries called in to testify. But wait -- there is a potential obstacle for some of the new chairmen: House GOP rules say you can only serve three consecutive terms as chairman or ranking member.

No matter how tense your Thanksgiving gathering, it will be festive compared to the goose dinner that brings together the major characters of "Deadfall."
This bloody white noir puts members of three troubled families through some thrilling action sequences, but works best in tense personal encounters.
Oscar-winning director Stefan Ruzowitzky ("The Counterfeiters") benefits from a strong supporting cast, led by Sissy Spacek and Kate Mara, who get more out of first-time screenwriter Zach Dean's script than he put into it. An effective Kris Kristofferson and underused Treat Williams provide the patriarchy.
"Deadfall" begins with a bang. As their wheelman steers a black limo down a snowy backroad, Southern-ish siblings Addison (Eric Bana) and Liza (Olivia Wilde) rejoice in their haul from a Native-American casino in rural Michigan. They haven't so much broken the bank as robbed it.
Then, bang. Things go wrong. With polite contrition, Addison deliberately makes them worse. He and his sister separate and flee on foot, heading for Canada as the snow deepens.
Meanwhile, in Detroit, Jay (Charlie Hunnam), a former boxer with anger management issues, gets released from prison with things on his mind. He took a dive, and then took the fall for the fixed fighter. Now, he wants a payoff from his slippery manager.
Once again, this does not work out. Jay quickly leaves town, heading for his parents' place near the Canadian border. As Jay's father Chet, a retired lawman, Kristofferson is impassive at his son's release.
But as his mother June, Spacek welcomes the prospect of having the family reunited for Thanksgiving. She even invites Jay's old friend Hanna, a smart but self-effacing sheriff's deputy played by Mara.
Hanna's father is the current sheriff, Becker, but that only puts her in the departmental line of fire. It seems that her mother left, likely because she could not stand another moment with the sheriff, so Becker has turned his anger on his loyal daughter.
The pitfalls are obvious. While there is a lot of talent lower down on the marquee, the plot rests on headliners Bana and Wilde, known as two very pretty people, and Hunnam, that biker guy from TV.
Fortunately, the three leads all raise their games as much as they are allowed. Bana in particular adopts an air of courtly menace that illuminates the creepy but protective relationship between the siblings. They also get considerable help from Ruzowitzky and skillful cinematographer Shane Hurlbut.
Addison's trail toward his rendezvous with Liza is filled with incident, some of which Dean might have reconsidered. For a conman/robber who is controlled in fraught situations, he sure tends to kill a lot of people without introduction.
While initiating some thrilling action sequences, Addison himself takes a licking but keeps on ticking. A chase on snowmobiles sends pulses racing. At this year's Tribeca Film Festival, Ruzowitzky explained that some of that effectiveness came from strapping Sony consumer video cameras onto the machines as they hurtled along, swerving and crashing. Such sequences make "Deadfall" worth viewing on s big screen.
All this criminal activity activates the local gendamerie, even as a blizzard blows through the area. Unfortunately, Sheriff Becker is written as a one-note character, ever solicitous of his "boys" but contemptuous of his daughter. Mara is particularly impressive keeping Hanna a quiet, observant character even as the script puts her through virtual schoolyard bullying.
Meanwhile, in another part of the woods, Jay has picked up the shivering Liza, or perhaps vice versa. When the snow closes the road home, they are forced, forced I say, to spend the night together in a motel, sharing some but not all of their secrets.

Heegaard surfaces and measured laminations, II: Non-Haken 3-manifolds
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: A famous example of Casson and Gordon shows that a Haken 3-manifold can have an infinite family of irreducible Heegaard splittings with different genera. In this paper, we prove that a closed non-Haken 3-manifold has only finitely many irreducible Heegaard splittings, up to isotopy. This is much stronger than the generalized Waldhausen conjecture. Another immediate corollary is that for any irreducible non-Haken 3-manifold , there is a number such that any two Heegaard splittings of are equivalent after at most stabilizations.

Sinker Cypress from the swamps of Louisiana.
This was a fast and simple design I built while in the middle of cleaning up my shop this morning.
I decided not to put a finish on this box because it would just take away from the worn and rustic look.

Greg, this has such beautiful grain that I would have rounded the corners more to emphasis that effect. This design has a nice flowing look. Your "simple" is decidedly "unsimple" when you examine the techniques use. Nice work. Keep boxing and keep posting.

The Cherwell Cricket League is looking for somebody to take over the weekly writing of Cherwell League reports for the Oxford Mail - with immediate effect.
Is it something that might interest you as an opportunity to earn a bit of extra money, or maybe you know of a young cricket enthusiast who is interested in writing and maybe can use this as a stepping stone to a future career?
The job involves writing a report for the top 5 divisons every week and a round-up of the best action from Divisions 6-9.
The information is taken from the scores supplied by the clubs, and a weekly results round-up, produced by the league.
The Oxford Mail would need your work by first thing on a Monday morning and it roughly takes around 3-4 hours to compile everything.
If you wish, the paper are happy to credit you for the work and you will be paid for your effort.
Contact Clive Ricks on 07881 452774 or email@example.com if you are interested.
OXFORDSHIRE fought back well as spinners Will Beer and Luke Ryan gave them the upper hand in their Unicorns Counties Championship clash with Wales at Great & Little Tew.
Aston Rowant slumped to the foot of the Division 2 table after they were forced to settle for a draw at home to Gerrards Cross on Saturday.
Great & Little Tew's bowlers tore through Shipton-under-Wychwood's top order as they recorded a five-wicket win at home in Saturday's Division 2 derby encounter.
Will Rooney proved the star, but Oxford's season shows no sign of improving after they were on the wrong end of a draw at home to Burnham in Division 1 on Saturday.
Adam Price picked up a fivewicket haul after Robbie Eason carried his bat for an unbeaten 81 as Horspath posted a crushing 140-run victory at Tring Park in Division 1.
WILL Eason will make his competitive Minor Counties debut for Oxfordshire against Wales this weekend.
ADAM Tucker's superb unbeaten century was in vain for Shrivenham as they fell to a six-wicket defeat at home to OCA leaders Minster Lovell in Division 1.
And so it begins... yes that's right the Ashes gets under way on Wednesday.
Captain Andy Harris says the next three games will be key to Great & Little Tew's Home Counties Premier Cricket League title aspirations.
Banbury captain Luke Ryan knows this could be a pivotal weekend in the Home Counties Premier Cricket League campaign.
Banbury II beat Leighton Buzzard Town by eight wickets in division one of the Cherwell Cricket League.
Despite being unable to take maximum points at Dinton, Great & Little Tew remain top of the Home Counties Premier League.
Karl Penhale took six wickets as Banbury romped to an eight wicket victory over Reading in Saturday's Home Counties Premier Cricket League fixture.
Skipper Andy Harris will be looking for his Great & Little Tew side to consolidate top spot when they travel to Dinton for Saturday's Home Counties Premier League fixture.
Banbury captain Luke Ryan said his side could not afford to lose more ground on Home Counties Premier Cricket League leaders Henley Town but that's exactly what happened.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- The Albany City Commission and the Dougherty County Commission had the chance to speak with state legislators Monday about some of the issues impacting local constituents, and what needs to be done about it.
Reps. Ed Rynders, R-Leesburg of House District 150, Winfred Dukes, D-Albany of District 152, Carol Fullerton, D-Albany of District 151, and Sen. Freddie Powell Sims, D-Albany of District 12, heard concerns from city commissioners first. A great deal of the meeting focused on public safety pertaining to juvenile crime.
"Some have no values when it comes to pulling a gun," said Ward 1 Commissioner Jon Howard. "We need to rally around public safety."
The legislators agreed, particularly in terms of enforcement.
"We can't continue to bury our heads in the sand," Sims said. "Something has to be done, and a lot of it has to do with enforcement. These laws are not being enforced; it's a vicious cycle."
When Rynders suggested supporting legislation that would increase penalties for juveniles associated with gangs, Howard was very enthusiastic about it.
"Anything that would curtail juvenile crime, I would support," he said.
Rynders also went on to say there is some legislation relating to juvenile crime floating around, such as with preventing children from getting a driver's license at age 16 if they've missed enough school, that hasn't been able to go through.
"We are trying to tackle issues we haven't been able to pass," he said.
Mayor Willie Adams took the opportunity to acknowledge the Gang Task Force, which has been involved in the arrests of 350 gang members since its establishment.
"I think we made a tremendous step forward with the establishment of the Gang Task Force," he said.
Ward III Commissioner-elect Christopher Pike addressed the concern of rehabilitation so that certain juvenile crimes do not hinder development as the violators enter into adulthood.
"We need to make sure the past doesn't hinder opportunity into the future," he said.
Immediately afterward, the legislators, with the exception of Sims, sat with county commissioners. In that meeting, transportation and water were among some of the bigger items on the agenda.
The Broad Avenue bridge construction, which is adding up to be a $8 million project, was the primary item in terms of transportation. In short, legislators feel confident it will continue on as scheduled.
"The only thing that makes me a hair nervous is if there is another project that is (more) immediate," Rynders said.
The construction to replace the bridge is expected to start in 2011.
There was some discussion on whether a regional or state plan for transportation would be the way to suit people's needs, with strong support going for a regional plan.
"There are some rural area needs as well," said District 5 Commissioner Gloria Gaines. "We still have access needs. I just don't see relief in the state budget any time soon."
Dukes also seemed enthusiastic about the concept.
"We would pretty much be in control of our own destiny," he said.
Before the meeting closed, Chairman Jeff Sinyard introduced the water issue.
"Water is a huge deal, the biggest deal there is," he said. "We need to make sure we are very engaged."
The water situation, which has involved Georgia, Alabama and Florida for some time, is an issue of collection rather than rainfall, Rynders explained.
He also said that, under the circumstances, officials will need to go an alternate route in order to solve the problem.
"We can get creative and work with a statewide (special-purpose local-option sales tax)," the representative said.

Final Whiskey Kittens of the year last night. We've run for almost three years now, and that's a long time for a club night. When I first started out, it was almost all Rock and Roll records, gradually shifted to Northern Soul, Southern Soul, and more recently, Disco.
In the current incarnation of my set, there are some standard go-to tracks. Every DJ pledges to keep their set fresh by integrating new records, and that's entirely admirable, but not always possible. The internet makes a lot of compilations available to the needy or greedy for free; and if you work in record shops or know someone who does, well, there's an option to update easily. But if your time and funds are limited, there's always a charity shop next to a bus stop. I've always been a huge fan of the charity shop genre compilation. Mojo comps have always served me extremely well, as have a variety of Time/Life 2 CD sets.
But Mojo CDs are where it's at, frankly. Always cheap, sometimes LOADED with good stuff.
This is my top 5. If you see these and you don't have them, pick them up. Discogs links show these available for very, very little.
Mojo Music Guide Vol 1 Instant Garage
Incredible rocking comp, this dominated my set for the first few months. MC5, New York Dolls, Artesians.... Smash after smash, mixes nicely with the New Rock Revolution (*cough*) stuff and 00's Detroit - Soledad Bros / White Stripes / Von Bondies.
Mojo Music Guide Vol 3 Raw Soul
Too good to be true. Mixes well to big Motown production value tunes, tempo stays peppy until towards the end. Albert Washington - Hold Me, and the better known and very Isley Brothers number, It's Your Thing, dominate. Closes with Otis Redding doing These Arms of Mine. A real heartbreaker.
Mojo Mod Club Party
Extremely useful for moving back and forth from Northern Soul to rockier Mod territory. You Can't Sit Down (Parts 1 & 2) by the Phil Upchurch Combo and perennial floor filler Bert's Apple Crumble by The Quik.
Mojo Southern SoulWhole thing is sensational. First half has more impact, Sam and Dave doing I Thank You and Etta James' Tell Mama are choice, but the stand out is I'll Take Her by Eddie Floyd.
Mojo Presents Let's Move
A selection of faster blues songs. Ultimate killer track is Give Me Back My Wig by Hound Dog Taylor and The House Rockers. My favourite song on a Mojo comp. Really quick. Version on the disc sounds a lot thicker in the mix than the version below.

Finally, in May (seven things that I have done)
- Deejayed at Whiskey Kittens in Brixton.
- Shot Pixies for The Fly before it folded.
- Saw Prince at the Electric Ballroom.
- Wrote something about it.
- Booked tickets to see Spoon play at Olslo, Hackney. Now sold out...
- Did not book Neko Case at Union Chapel. Now sold out...
- Decided against booking a festival unless something utterly incredible comes along.

I guess we'll all be watching Alex Ovechkin intently tonight
Nov 4, 2011, 9:37 AM EDT
The last we saw of Alex Ovechkin on Tuesday night against Anaheim was him kicking the puck towards Nicklas Backstrom for the game-winning goal in overtime. The bulk of that night and following day was spent analyzing Ovechkin being benched in the closing minute of regulation and how Ovechkin may or may not have cussed out Bruce Boudreau under his breath.
With the drama over with and behind us, the Caps are in Raleigh tonight to take on the Hurricanes and if you don't think we're all going to be watching how Ovechkin plays tonight intensely, you're living in a world not on this planet.
Ovechkin hasn't had to face up to these sorts of times of trouble at all before in the NHL. Never before has there been such an obvious show that he wasn't getting the job done and made an example of because of it. How Ovechkin responds to all that will be fascinating to watch. While players will slump and go through their troubles, for Ovechkin, having it become the lead story is a new thing.
Will Ovechkin slump more or will we see the Ovi of old that is a holy terror on the ice hell-bent on destroying opponents with dynamic goals and physical play? The Carolina Hurricanes might prove to be the first of many unwilling sacrifices to Alexander the Terrifying.
- stakex - Nov 4, 2011 at 12:35 PM
7 points (4 goals, 3 assists) in the last 5 games is a slump? Well then pretty much everyone in the league wishes they had "slumps" like that.
Seriouslly, everyone needs to get off this bandwaggon already. Ovechkin had one bad game, and Boudreau made a bad call in sitting him at the end of it. Its over. Its done with, and you better believe it won't happen again (management will not want to see its $10 million weapon sitting on the bench when its needed most).
- danphipps01 - Nov 4, 2011 at 1:29 PM
Again with that. Again with "Management won't let anyone hurt their big investment's feelings." Last year, he was invisible. This year he's on track for his second-lowest goals and points totals only by virtue of last year being worse, and again the same criticisms apply – he's not using his body, he's always taking the same shots, he floats on the ice waiting for chances to score a highlight-reel goal and look good. Yet you only see his goals and assists as numbers and the Caps management, if they make the mistakes you're recommending, only see their investment – leaving only Boudreau to see his performance on the ice and say "Right, what the hell." Ovi can't coast on fame he's earned for past accomplishments forever. Sooner or later he's going to have to start playing like Ovi again, and that means lighting up the ice all night long – which despite those numbers of yours we both know he isn't. If neither management nor the fans are willing to admit he is capable of fault, neither will he and he'll turn into the world's most overpriced thirty-goal man. Just because he's the franchise star doesn't mean he's too important to face criticism and punishment for playing less than his (phenomenal) best. Babying him will accomplish nothing. He isn't playing like himself. The Caps are winning, but he's not a key part of that anymore. He needs to start being the force he used to be.
- cannonblast14 - Nov 4, 2011 at 3:22 PM
I didnt know it was possible to be invisible and still put up 85 points in 79 games. hmm. Can i try that?
He needs to be better, but to say he has been invisible and that he hasnt been a key part of winning is rediculous. Hes still a presence and a concern out there for the opposition. Look at the OT winner the other night. The defensemen was only paying attention to Ovechkin swoop across the middle and Backstrom was wide open. He gives other stars like Semin, Backstrom, etc more ice time because he is so dangerous.
So yes, he needs to be better. He needs to change it up, but you cant act like he never puts up any points. Not the Alex Ovechkin numbers, but still points.
Hes not being used right on the PP either, but thats a whole 'nother topic. And his ice time is down like 16% from other years lowering his time to score.
- arsement - Nov 4, 2011 at 5:51 PM
Thank you… I'm reading the first comment wondering how it's not obvious that Ovi has not contributed much at all lately… and like an archangel danphipps saves the day.
Good form.
- danphipps01 - Nov 4, 2011 at 5:56 PM
Invisible relative to his usual performance level – it's an extreme choice of words, I'll admit, but think about it – when "typical Ovi" is 50-plus goals and a hundred points or more, his performance last year drew attention only in the context of "What went wrong?" I know how many points he notched. I know a lot of players would call that a very good season. But this isn't most players, this is the guy who's in theory the next great goal-scorer, the next Hull or Lemieux. I'm not saying he's not doing anything, but he's not being the superstar he's been and it doesn't look like he'll get out of whatever funk he's in by being pampered and treated like he can do no wrong. Boudreau's getting inside his comfort zone because that's the best chance to get him back to form. The people crucifying him for not treating Ovechkin like their flawless saviour are out to lunch. He needs to be pressured to be better before he will be.
That said, I'll grant that "invisible" was fairly hyperbolic. A PPG player is still a natural first-liner by any standard.
