Tampa Bay Lightning
NHL Playoff Game Night: 4-16-15 Red Wings at LightningSubmitted by pete on April 16, 2015 - 21:32
Done in by a softie.
Eastern Conference Quarterfinals
Game One
Detroit Leads the Series 1-0
Ben Bishop allowed 3 goals on 14 shots for the loss. What an ugly stat line. Only one of the goals was soft, but as they often are, a soft goal ended up being the margin in the game. Bishop's got a lot to prove, as tonight was his first NHL playoff debut. The good news, I suppose, is that Bishop hasn't wet the bed in two straight games all season long. So, I'd expect his best next time out.
First Period
9:03 DET Datsyuk (1), (Quincey, Helm)
14:31 TB Boyle (1), (unassisted)(SH)
Second Period
0:08 DET Datsyuk (2), (Helm)(PP)
Third Period
5:50 DET Glendening (1), (unassisted)(SH)
8:26 TB Nesterov (1), (Callahan, Killorn)
Brian Boyle was the game's third star.
The Lightning probably deserved better in this game, outshooting Detroit 46-14. Their speed earned them a lot of possession on the forecheck and nearly a half dozen odd man rushes in the game, but they struggled to convert and they didn't get much puck luck on second opportunities despite the amount of rubber they threw Mrazek's way. I'd expect the Lightning get the tape of this game and decipher one or two subtle changes to their approach that may yield them a little more success on that front. From a confidence standpoint, though, after what happened last year against Montreal, this team desperately needs to get Game Two.
The power play needs to not go 0-for-7. It didn't look terrible, but they need to get the payoff if the Wings are going to keep taking infractions.
The stats say Hedman and Stamkos had a much better game than the eye test indicated, so I will refrain from giving my "best players need to be best players" speech for not. If Stammer keeps getting 8 shots on goal a night, I like his chances of getting a breakthrough sooner rather than later, and Hedman had his moments, although I believe he has another gear above the one he showed tonight, to be sure.
Nikita Nesterov had a goal and was +1 with 3 shots and 3 hits in 17:01. I thought he was one of the 2-3 best d-men on the Lightning tonight along with Coburn and Stralman.

NHL Game Night: 4-11-15 Bruins at LightningSubmitted by pete on April 11, 2015 - 21:53
A brief moment of sweet schadenfreude before the bullets fly for real next week.
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 38 shots and stopped all 3 shooters in the penalty shot session for the SO victory. He was sharp as a samurai sword tonight. That's good to see heading into the playoffs.
First Period
Second Period
5:08 TB Marchessault (1), (unassisted)
6:00 BOS Eriksson (22), (Kelly, Seidenberg)
Third Period
5:12 TB Nesterov (3), (Carle, Marchessault)
18:54 BOS Marchand (24), (Krug, Krejci)
TB- Hedman
Jonathan Marchessault, Bishop, and Nikita Nesterov were the game's three stars.
Boston played the bulk of this game very desperate and very hungry, and the Lightning held back a lot of their injured players to rest with a view toward the playoffs starting next week. The shot deficit (38-25) and possession advantage Boston had reflects that they were the team that had more to play for (up until halfway through the Third Period when Pittsburgh put the last shovel-full of dirt on their graves). With that said, I give credit to the Lightning for matching Boston's intensity level and physicality, even though they didn't have the same urgency stalking them. They hustled. They scrapped. They got sticks and bodies in passing and shooting lanes. They manufactured a win. They'll have to do that a few times when they don't have their A-game in the playoffs coming up.
Tampa Bay gets Detroit in the First Round. I'm not scared of the matchup. If the Lightning play their game, they can beat Detroit. Handily. Time to start burying the memories of last April.
Marchessault had 1 goal and 1 assist and was +2 with 2 shots and 3 hits in 11:20. His goal was a beauty of a shot from the RW faceoff circle, and he was dangerous offensively in his TOI. He had at least one issue hanging in physically to get a puck out at his own blueline, but more good than bad. He's in a rough spot given how deep this organization is, but he's definitely knocking on the door of being an NHLer.
Luke Witkowski was -1 with 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, 8 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 18:14. He was one of the tone setters physically, and he darn near sawed McQuaid in half on one hit in this game. He even had a pretty fancy rush late in the game to nearly get the winner. Thought we were looking at Luke Witk-Orr for a minute. I suspect he'll head back to Syracuse now with Marchessault and bolster the Crunch's division title and playoff hopes.
Nesterov had a goal and was +1 with 2 penalty minutes, 3 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 19:39. NBCSN's broadcasters gushed about Nesterov's offensive assertiveness all game, and rightfully so. He's a classic pace-pushing offensive defenseman who comes out ahead on the ledger because he helps create way more chances than he surrenders. Yes, he got beat physically out of the corner by Marchand on one play in the First Period and had to take a minor. Yes, there's a turnover here and there. But, he comes out way ahead on the ledger, overall. Garrison, Sustr, and Coburn are all slated to return at some point in the opening round against Detroit. I'm not sure Nesterov sits, though. I think he may have earned a look-see in playoff action, a la Paquette last year, and maybe a guy like Barberio or Sustr sits instead.

NHL Game Night: 4-9-15 Devils at LightningSubmitted by pete on April 9, 2015 - 21:48
Down to the wire.
Ben Bishop allowed 3 goals on 24 shots for the OT victory. The stat line was ugly, but the Devils got some puck luck in this game, and Ben made the toe save of the game on Cammalleri late in the Third to keep the Lightning alive.
First Period
5:06 NJ Bernier (15), (Henrique, Gomez)(PP)
6:26 TB Johnson (28), (Kucherov, Palat)
9:13 TB Nesterov (2), (Johnson, Kucherov)(PP)
Second Period
10:17 NJ Elias (13), (Gionta)
17:42 TB Stamkos (43), (Palat, Hedman)(PP)
17:58 NJ Bernier (16), (Henrique, Gomez)
Third Period
1:22 TB Johnson (29), (Kucherov, Palat)(PP)
Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat were the game's first and third stars.
Honestly, I wasn't that upset with the effort, even though it took OT for the Lightning to dispose of New Jersey. The Devils got some favorable bounces on blocked shots, etc., but for the most part the Lightning controlled this game, outshooting their opponent 31-24. My only disappointment was the mental let downs after goals scored, but that's correctable. The bright side was that the power play went 3-for-8 and continues to pile up some goals over the last couple of weeks. If the Lightning can muster a power play in the playoffs, they may be unbeatable. That's a big if, mind you.
Unfortunately, Montreal beat Detroit in OT, so Montreal would have to lose in regulation in their finale against Toronto for the Lightning to have a chance to take the Atlantic Division. If they win the division, they could face Ottawa, Pittsburgh, or the Islanders in the first round. Should Tampa Bay stay in the Atlantic second seed spot, which is more likely, they'll probably get Detroit, although Ottawa could still nudge past the Wings at the tape.
The Lightning's finale is a tantalizing opportunity to give a team they've traditionally had difficulty with an early trip to the golf course. Boston lost to Florida tonight, so they cannot get into the Atlantic three seed, and any type of loss, regulation or OT, and Boston is done like dinner. My 2 cents: the Lightning should relish this opportunity to put Boston away now rather than potentially having to do it in some sort of 7 game series somewhere down the line. Put them into an early grave, I say.
Luke Witkowski was -1 with 1 shot, 3 hits, and 2 blocked shots. He looks ticketed for a return to Syracuse with Andrej Sustr on track to possibly return for the Boston tilt. I'm thinking Luke's experience from this callup will allow him to focus his offseason attention on sharpening up some aspects of his game like handling and distributing the puck that he could get even more efficient at in order to become a regular NHLer. He's not quite there yet, but he's not a glaring liability, either. That next step's got to come, and I think it comes in the form of being a little bit less of a "hot potato" guy on the puck.
Nikita Nesterov had a goal and was -1 with 2 penalty minutes, 2 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 19:06. He changes the complexion of the Lightning's second PP unit with his shoot-first mentality, and the experience he's gained with the Lightning's injury issues will only benefit the squad in the form of reliable depth when other injuries happen in the playoffs. It's nice to know Nesterov can step up and play some quality minutes if necessary.

NHL Game Night: 4-4-15 Lightning at PanthersSubmitted by pete on April 4, 2015 - 20:57
Ben Bishop stopped all 34 shots he faced for the shutout win. That's some U of Maine Justice right there for the Panthers. I think he's been off a little mechanically the past couple of games, either due to being banged up or being fatigued, but he's a battler and he battled his way to getting the goose egg tonight.
First Period
Second Period
6:10 TB Stamkos (41), (Johnson, Nesterov)(PP)
11:19 TB Stamkos (42), (Callahan)
Third Period
1:03 TB Callahan (24), (Stamkos)
18:13 TB Johnson (27), (Drouin)
Steven Stamkos, Ryan Callahan, and Bishop were the game's three stars.
There's so much good wrapped in this game, it's hard to make sure you hit all the high notes. From an in-game standpoint, the Lightning had 4 regular defensemen out of the lineup going against what should've been a desperate Panthers squad, and they managed to shut them out. Kudos to the young defensemen, and kudos to Coach Zettler and the staff in Syracuse. It's been fantastic to watch the sharp progress this season by Nesterov and the steady progress of the likes of Witkowski, Koekkoek, Blujus, and Dotchin. It's a really hard act following a guy who is arguably an all-time great AHL coach like Jon Cooper, but Zettler has shown some developmental mojo with these young defensemen and it makes you excited to see what he can accomplish working with a prospect like Anthony DeAngelo.
The Lightning also got a power play goal for the fourth straight game and Steven Stamkos snapped out of his funk with a vintage PP goal and a laser beam from the right wing faceoff dot. Stamkos needs to be Stamkos if the Lightning are going to do anything in the playoffs, and if he were to find his PP mojo, that alone could win the Lightning a playoff series or two they might not otherwise deserve.
From a standings standpoint, the Lightning clinched home ice in the first round of the playoffs and tied Montreal in the standings with the Habs holding a game in hand. The Lightning have the ROW tiebreaker, so all the pressure is on Montreal right now. The Lightning get 4 days to rest and heal now while Montreal has to keep getting points if they want to maintain control of their own destiny in the division title pursuit. If they lose a game, the Lightning may be able to get Hedman, Sustr, and Killorn back on the ice for the final 2 games at home with the real prospect of earning a banner in the balance.
Oh, and the Lightning eliminate the Panthers from playoff contention. It's never a bad thing to kick dirt on their grave, is it?
Slater Koekkoek was +1 with 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, and 1 hit in 16:19. This wasn't quite the same effort for Slater as against Ottawa, IMO, but it was still a solid performance for the rookie. If I was a Syracuse fan, I'd be very excited to see him in the playoffs because he's going to go back to the Crunch with a ton of confidence.
Luke Witkowski had 2 penalty minutes and 1 hit in 15:34. Quiet is good.
Nikita Nesterov had a helper and was +2 with 4 shots, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 21:18. There was a lot of gushing about Nesterov tonight and rightfully so. He ate big minutes and he changes the complexion of the Lightning power play with his shoot first mentality and ability to get pucks through and on net. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think he's essentially running Barberio out of town for next season. They're similar players, but Nesterov's ceiling seems so much higher and he's already shown himself to be just as good, if not better, in his own third.
Vladislav Namestnikov played 11:36. He had one memorable rush where he slithered into the Panthers zone, but it was a quiet night for Namestnikov with Tyler Johnson returning and pushing him down off the line with Palat and Kucherov. Tonight was Namestnikov's 41st game of the season, so he graduated from prospect status on the website. Congratulations, Baby Faced Killer.

NHL Game Night: 4-2-15 Lightning at SenatorsSubmitted by pete on April 2, 2015 - 21:52
Lightning nearly steal both points.
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 34 shots for the OT loss. His rebound control wasn't all that great tonight, but he was sparkling on first shots, which was nearly good enough to complete the larceny.
First Period
5:03 OTT Stone (20), (Turris, MacArthur)
16:53 TB Drouin (4), (Stralman, Filppula)(PP)
Second Period
Third Period
4:43 OTT Wiercioch (3), (Stone, Turris)
Bishop was the game's third star.
Most of the Lightning's injured players actually participated in the morning skate today, which signals to me that if tonight's game had been a priority some of them would have gone. As it was, it was clear that getting rest and getting healthy was deemed more important than still pursuing the division title. Fair enough, under the circumstances, and it reflected in a pretty flat First Period by the team. However, as the game wore on, I think the Lightning realized there were points to be stolen on the table and their intensity improved as the game went on. They got 1 point to keep pace with Montreal tonight, but couldn't thieve the 2nd. Still, it's more than I would've expected from the body language I saw in the First Period. They trail Montreal by 1 point with the Habs holding a game in hand and the Lightning having 3 games left on the slate. They would hold the ROW tiebreaker, which looms large if they can get some help and Montreal stubs their toe a couple of times in their last 4 games.
One other point of interest, pun intended, is the Lightning got their 12th point tonight in this 10 game segment. In other words, the Lightning hit 12 points in every 10 game segment of the season but 1, and the miss was an 11 point segment. They may not be consistent game to game, but their frighteningly consistent segment to segment, which is very good compared to last season when they had about 3 misses, as I recall, along the way. Maturation.
Slater Koekkoek had 3 shots, 1 hit, and 3 blocked shots in 17:55. He was a stud tonight. He was active in all three zones and particularly in clearing out his front porch. You saw the total package of what Koekkoek can do and he nearly had an OT winner jumping into the play, to boot. Very impressive.
Luke Witkowski had 1 shot, 3 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 18:19 to go with 2 PIMs. He didn't play a perfect game, but he played a good one. I think, in particular, when the game got chippy in the Second Period it got right into Luke's wheelhouse and he started to really come alive.
Nikita Nesterov was -2 with 4 shots, 5 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 19:38. The IT tells you the coaching staff appreciates what he's doing, but he's had some hard luck where his good two-way play hasn't paid off with pluses with the Lightning forwards struggling to pot goals.
Vladislav Namestnikov had 1 hit and was 55% on 11 draws in 9:50. IT was down tonight, and it was hard to tell if he got dinged or if it was a coach's decision. Vladdy is at 40 NHL games this season, which means his next appearance will mark his graduation from prospect status on the website.

NHL Game Night: 3-31-15 Lightning at Maple LeafsSubmitted by pete on March 31, 2015 - 21:19
The needle hits E in Toronto.
Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed 3 goals on 28 shots for the loss. He wasn't the reason the team lost, but one or two semi-soft goals definitely made the sledding a lot more comfortable for Toronto. In a game like this, the Lightning really needed Andrei to be flawless.
First Period
8:53 TOR Kadri (17), (Lindstrom, Brennan)(PP)
12:03 TOR Booth (7), (unassisted)
18:04 TB Callahan (23), (Palat, Kucherov)(PP)
Second Period
Third Period
0:24 TOR Rielly (8), (Kadri, Gardiner)
Shots were 41-28 Lightning, so I'm not going to say the Lightning were somehow dogging it or that they had a let down in a trap game. I just think they almost emptied out the tank against Montreal, so they simply couldn't muster the same intensity level and didn't have the extra gear against Toronto. Not with all the injuries they are trying to work through, anyway. And, the Leafs got a great performance from Reimer, which compounded things.
I hate to see the Lightning's division title hopes in peril like this, on the one hand. On the other, I don't want to see this team dead dragging tired going into the opening round of the playoffs, either. It's a boon to be able to get Bishop some rest like he did tonight, and it might also be a silver lining if circumstances allow them to take their foot off the gas the last couple of games of the year and give guys like Palat and Paquette a little more time off to get right for the postseason, on top of all the guys who are already on the shelf.
Slater Koekkoek was -1 with 2 shots in 15:31. Didn't look horribly out of place, and the old Joe Reekie number looks good on him. Thought he showed as advertised. I feel like he'll challenge for a roster spot in the Fall, and his progress will be very important for the success of the team next year. You figure he'll either make the squad or be the first call up from Syracuse if he doesn't make it.
Luke Witkowski had 2 shots, 6 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 16:50. 3 giveaways is a little bit of an ugly number, but all in all he handled the extra workload reasonably well.
Nikita Nesterov was -1 with 5 shots and 2 hits in 22:11. The minutes don't lie. He's the guy the coaching staff turned to in order to fill the gap, and I suspect they're not at all displeased.
Vladislav Namestnikov had 1 shot and 1 hit in 15:12 and was 56% on draws. He's 2 games from graduation from prospect status on the site.

NHL Game Night: 3-30-15 Lightning at CanadiensSubmitted by pete on March 30, 2015 - 21:57
The most dangerous animal is a wounded animal.
Ben Bishop allowed 3 goals on 28 shots for the victory. The percentage wasn't nice, but the degree of difficulty was high on many of Bishop's denials. Considering he was playing behind Anton Stralman and some road cones by the end of the night, it was a masterful performance.
First Period
Second Period
1:24 TB Namestnikov (8), (Stamkos, Bishop)
4:24 MTL Pacioretty (37), (Plekanec, Markov)(SH)
4:57 TB Drouin (3), (Stralman, Bishop)(PP)
18:07 TB Kucherov (28), (Namestnikov, Palat)

6:21 TB Namestnikov (9), (Palat)
16:10 MTL Subban (14), (Beaulieu, Desharnais)(PP)
19:03 TB Stralman (9), (Boyle)(EN)
Vladislav Namestnikov and Ondrej Palat were the game's first and second stars.
Let's recap, shall we? The Lightning entered this game down 3 regular defensemen (Coburn, Garrison, and Sustr) and an all-star centerman (Johnson). By the end of the game, they lost Victor Hedman to an undisclosed injury that led him to skate just 1 shift in the Third Period. By all rights, the Lightning could have just folded. Montreal, having not won against Tampa Bay all season and seeing an opportunity to jump out to a potential 3 point lead in the division at home with precious few games left to go, had everything to play for. Everything in the stew was against the Lightning. Right?
Wrong. The Lightning just rolled over Montreal like a conquering, unstoppable army to complete a 5-0-0 sweep against the Habs this season. They outshot them 44-28 and outplayed them so badly the Canadiens were booed off their home ice at the end of the Second Period. That wasn't a game. That was the Lightning reaching into Montreal's chest cavity, pulling their heart out, and then feeding it to them. That was a team that outworked Montreal by such a wide margin that it was irrelevant who was back on defense, because for much of the night Montreal simply could not get the puck long enough to put any pressure on the precocious children wearing white Tampa Bay jerseys for it to matter an iota. I've never seen a team that unbelievably undermanned outplay a playoff caliber team by such an unbelievably wide margin. It was majestic. I have no clue who the Lightning will have left to play defense by the time they roll into Toronto tomorrow night. They might have to pull the first kid out of the stands with a Stamkos jersey on and give him a pair of skates at this rate. It doesn't matter, though. I just want to spend the next 18 hours or so basking in the unmistakable power of what this Lightning team is capable of when it truly decides it wants to do something. The last time I felt this good was one of the Lightning's ECF wins in the 7 game series against Boston.
Also, I'd like to say Cedric Paquette is the baddest man on the planet. Dump Truck truly is made of steel. 1 shot, 7 hits, and 1 blocked shot. He had an axle bent at an unnatural angle against the goal post in Detroit and looked absolutely done for the season. And yet, there he is, taking the first shifts and the last shifts of a win in his home province against Montreal. That's a tough man. That's the living embodiment of Lightning want-to.
The Lightning closed back to within 1 point of Montreal for the division lead with both teams having 5 games left to play on the schedule. The Lightning win clinches a playoff spot (foregone conclusion) and puts them at triple-digit points for the season at 101. I have no clue if the Lightning, given how many guys are injured, can finish off this division title run and grab hold of the banner. I do know, unequivocally though, the Lightning are a better team than Montreal. The tape of these 5 games doesn't lie.
Luke Witkowski was +2 with 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, 2 hits, and 3 blocked shots in 13:09. He did what we've come to expect of Witkowski. Move it quickly and don't put yourself in peril. Show snarl when called for. Simple. Efficient.
Nikita Nesterov was +2 with 3 shots, 3 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 15:03. He showed a lot of hustle and jam in his own third of the rink tonight to go along with the usual acumen he has in the offensive third. This was a really good rebound game after the rust he showed against Detroit.
Namestnikov had 2 goals, 3 points, and was +3 with 2 shots and 1 hit in 13:57. He was also 64% on 11 draws. He stepped into Tyler Johnson's spot alongside Kucherov and Palat and played every bit like an all star. Close your eyes and imagine the Lightning lineup with Namestnikov and Drouin with 1 more year of seasoning at this time next season. Glorious, isn't it? Baby Faced Killer is now 3 games away from graduation from prospect status on the website.

NHL Game Day: 3-28-15 Lightning at Red WingsSubmitted by pete on March 28, 2015 - 15:57
When things go completely pear shaped...
Ben Bishop allowed 3 goals on 22 shots for the loss. He was fairly sharp, although he seemed to let his focus waver a bit on the third goal, in which Nyquist beat out an icing call to one hand the puck on net.
First Period
Second Period
5:25 DET Andersson (2), (Quincey, Weiss)
7:19 DET Abdelkader (23), (Nyquist)
9:19 DET Nyquist (24), (Quincey)
Third Period
18:21 DET Glendening (11), (unassisted)(EN)
The game today was almost inconsequential. Jason Garrison was lost at 3:43 of the First Period after being boarded by Justin Abdelkader. At best, it appeared that Garrison might have a sprained shoulder. At worst, you might have some more severe damage to that shoulder or to the collar bone, etc. Looked like weeks to me. Compounding the issue, Cedric Paquette severely hurt his left leg bounding into the post to break up an EN attempt by Abdelkader at the close of the game. That looked like end of season, to me. It's really a shame, too, because I though Dump Truck was one of the few bright spots in today's contest. As it is, best case scenario, the Lightning are going to limp through the final games of the regular season and hope that they get Coburn and Garrison back for the postseason. Worst case, neither will be ready. And Paquette? Let's just say it's a very good think Namestnikov has come on the way he has, because I'm not sure the Lightning will be getting Ceddy back until the Fall.
The Lightning's division title hopes may have taken a mortal hit with the day's injuries, and their viability as a club that can have staying power in the playoffs has also potentially taken a nasty hit. Namestnikov will no doubt just slide into Paquette's roster spot, but there will likely need to be an emergency recall for Garrison while that situation sorts itself out. Garrison's a left sider, so while Luke Witkowski has gotten a look earlier this season, I'm left to wonder if perhaps Slater Koekkoek will get his first taste of the NHL now.
As for the game, it was one of those contests where the circumstances that unfolded seemed to just suck the life right out of the Lightning. It didn't help that the officiating was awful. Abdelkader probably should've gotten 5 and the gate for the hit on Garrison, and there were several other boarding calls on Detroit that went completely uncalled in the First Period. The Lightning survived that, but never found their legs and eventually saw the game snowball against them in the Second Period as the Wings managed to get a couple of goals off delflections and that one-hander that aren't normal goals. I wouldn't call them fluky, but they're just not things you see often, and that has a way of knocking the wind out of your sails, too.
Nikita Nesterov was -2 with 2 shots in 15:41. It was looking like he might be earmarked for a return to Syracuse at some point. Now, it's looking like he's going to be a regular in the team's top six the rest of the way in the regular season. His turnover led to Detroit's second goal, and he showed some signs of rust today, in my opinion. He had a harder time with the pace after being out of the lineup for so long. Hopefully, he catches back up quickly.
Vladislav Namestnikov was -1 in 10:11. Like everyone in white not named "Paquette" or "Morrow", his energy was off tonight. The Lightning announced they were burning one of their last two full callups before the game to keep Vladdy on the roster the rest of the year. Wonder if they can get a "take-back" with what happened to Paquette.

NHL Game Night: 3-26-15 Predators at LightningSubmitted by pete on March 26, 2015 - 21:23
Goaltending betrays the Lightning in its moment of need.
Ben Bishop allowed 3 goals on 11 shots for the loss before getting lifted in the Second Period. 1-2 of those goals were the semi-soft variety. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped all 8 shots he faced in relief, but he didn't look super-sharp himself, particularly with his rebound control. It was just a rare off night for the tandem on a night where they were dueling with one of the league's best in Rinne.
First Period
3:28 NSH Ribeiro (14), (Josi)
4:08 NSH Gaustad (4), (Beck)
19:31 TB Namestnikov (7), (Sustr, Barberio)
Second Period
6:47 NSH Santorelli (12), (Jarnkrok, Stalberg)
13:19 TB Boyle (15), (Brown, Drouin)
Third Period
Brian Boyle and Cedric Paquette, who returned from injury tonight, were the game's second and third stars.
Just a shame to see a reasonably good effort squandered by lackluster goaltending. The Lightning outshot Nashville 30-19 and completely dominated large swaths of play, but they were 0-for-5 on the power play and could not get the equalizer. The silver lining is that Montreal is losing 4-1 to Winnipeg in the Third Period as I type. If that score holds up, there's no harm and the Lightning will still be 1 point out in the division with time to catch up. They could've easily gotten 1-2 points out of tonight, though, and that's the part that stings a bit.
Vladislav Namestnikov had a goal and 1 shot in 10:18. This went about the way most of his games have gone lately where he gets IT and looks dangerous offensively for the first 25 minutes or so of play, and then sees the pine the rest of the way as the coaching staff taps some guys who are perhaps a little more consistent defensively. He's been very good offensively though with his speed and handles, to the extent that the team is maneuvering to try and keep him on the roster right now. He's 5 games shy of graduation from prospect status on the site now.

Hello and welcome to USANA!
I know from personal experience what it's like to have poor health and to live with pain. For many years I suffered with muscular/skeletal problems as a result of disc degeneration and have undergone surgery for a laminectomy and spinal fusion in the lumbar spine.
I had seen many doctors by this stage and tried numerous things, but it was when I visited a pain specialist that I was introduced to the need for vitamin supplements. He explained that even the best diet is deficient in nutrients necessary for good health and suggested taking a combination of vitamin supplements to help prevent further deterioration. It surprised me to hear him say this as no other medical practitioner had previously mentioned the need for supplements for my problem (apart from calcium) and this recommendation led me on a path to discover USANA. After doing thorough research I realised USANA had the best products available and the only ones I wanted for myself and my family.
We have certainly benefited with optimal health as a result of taking the products.
USANA Health Sciences was founded by Dr Myron Wentz, world renowned immunologist/microbiologist. Please take the time to do your own research on Dr Wentz and the USANA products on my website; I know you will be impressed.
If you like what you see and want to order product, you can do that by clicking onto "Enroll Now" and then choose to become a Preferred Customer/Auto-order - it's very easy to do and USANA will deliver directly to you.
Initially I was only interested in the products but then decided to become involved in the business. If you would like to join me in the Health & Wellness Industry, please go to the "Connect with Me" page link and let me help you along your path to true health and freedom with our simple, duplicable system for success.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my website.

"I always talk to my friends and family about USANA. Together, we're on a mission to make the world a happier, healthier place."
—Dr. Mehmet Oz
USANA offers products to customers through direct selling, which means that individuals just like you can own their own USANA business. And yes, direct selling is different. It's not the status quo. But USANA understands direct selling just as much as it understands nutritionals. Which is, they get it. In fact, they're the best at what they do.
USANA's founder, Myron Wentz, Ph.D., is an internationally recognized microbiologist, immunologist, and pioneer in infectious disease diagnosis. In 1974, he founded Gull Laboratories to develop viral diagnostics, and his greatest successes during this time included the first commercially available diagnostic test for Epstein-Barr virus, better known as the virus that causes mononucleosis.
But success was never Myron Wentz' only aim. Instead, he centered his life around a dream of a world free from pain and suffering. A world free from disease. And he founded USANA to help further his dream by providing people all over the world with the most advanced supplements science can produce.
This is why USANA is a company based on continuous product innovation. This is why they have stringent manufacturing processes, participate in ongoing scientific research, and have an insatiable drive to produce exceptional products. This is why USANA is trusted by professional athletes and Olympians, and also everyday people who believe health is a vital part of a long, happy life.

Naughty By Nature collaborates with Solid Gold for Daytrotter session
So here's a string of words I never thought would appear in the same sentence: Recording site Daytrotter recently invited Naughty By Nature to their Illinois studios for a session, with locals Solid Gold sitting in as their backing band.
Wait, what?
The indie-heavy site invited Solid Gold down to Rock Island back in December to open for Naughty By Nature at a benefit concert for United Way. Prior to the benefit show, the two groups went into the studio, cracked open a bottle of Hennessey, and created some magic together, with Solid Gold laying down what Daytrotter describes as a "soulful, dark night rock groove" underneath the rap duo's freestyles.
"Soo here's one of the weirdest things I've ever done," Drew Christopherson, Solid Gold's new drummer, tweeted this morning.
Check out the Naughty By Nature and Solid Gold session here.

I'd like to set the FROM field in /usr/bin/w to various different strings that aren't my sshd's opinion of where the user has come from. Mostly this is because inbound ssh is often via on-host relays (eg a port 80 HTTP proxy, or a browser-based ssh gateway) so the w column gives localhost in that case. Making it list inbound tor connections with a tor annotation would be nice also.
Is there a way to do this? (eg somewhere in PAM perhaps?)

CHALLANS, France -- This ride will be different because it's his last -- and so will Lance Armstrong.
For a change, he'll savor the sights along the Tour de France route and even the strategy meetings with his Discovery Channel team. Just don't expect his heightened awareness to distract him from focusing on winning his seventh Tour in a row.
"I know there will be key moments," he said Thursday, 48 hours before the start, "and I want to savor that because next year I'll be on the other side of the table with all the old guys.
"The rides through villages, the dinners with guys who have become my best friends, even the team meetings ... all of that I will never experience again. But it has sunk in and I'm doing a pretty good job of focusing. I feel excited and obligated to win."
Armstrong begins his farewell on Saturday with a 11.8-mile sprint from Fromentine to Noirmoutier-en-l'Ile. On July 24, he will ride around the Champs-Elysees for the final time as a professional athlete.
Speaking at a news conference and flanked by team director Johan Bruyneel, Armstrong looked and sounded relaxed. It was in stark contrast to last year, when he acknowledged he felt the burden of history. Armstrong's sixth win put him one ahead of Eddy Merckx, Miguel Indurain, Bernard Hinault and Jacques Anquetil.
"I was nervous last year ... I had the impression I was up against ... not a demon ... but something else," he said. "All the greats had never won six times and something told me it was not possible, like a higher reason."
But it was possible.
"Winning last year was like a huge weight removed," he said.
The 33-year-old Armstrong acknowledged he wasn't performing up to his standard earlier in the year. He looked sluggish and weary at the Paris-Nice race in March and the Tour de Georgia in April.
"The older you get the higher the risk you have. I can't argue with my birth certificate. I had doubts but I never panicked that I would not be ready in time," he said. "It's my last Tour and I have to find specific motivation within myself."
Armstrong says the design of this year's course makes it harder to judge than previous years. The opening individual time trial is longer than the standard opening prologue stage -- meaning that a below-par performance so early in the race could be costly.
After that, riders face two routine flat stages before a team time trial on Tuesday -- 41.9 miles from Tours to Blois.
Jan Ullrich, the 1997 Tour de France champion and runner-up five other times, knows this is his last chance to beat Armstrong.
"The first stage is a good opportunity and the team time trial is also good for us," the T-Mobile team leader said. "It's important to take an advantage into the mountains. It's better than chasing a deficit."
With three rough Alpine climbs to follow between July 12-14, Armstrong is bracing himself to be tested.
"There's a lot to pack in, in a short space of time. You have an uphill finish (Grenoble to Courchevel) and then the stage from Courchevel to Briancon," he said. "Then there's not much time before the Pyrenees."
Stage 11 on July 13 -- Courchevel to Briancon -- is perhaps the most challenging of all the mountain routes, a 107.3-mile trek featuring three imposing ascents: Col de la Madeleine, Col du Telegraphe and Col du Galibier.
That, of course, doesn't diminish Armstrong's purpose: to once again sip champagne in triumph as he pedals his way down the Champs-Elysees to the finish line.
And if he pulls it off, what happens next is anyone's guess.
"I need a few years to evaluate what I want to do with my life," Armstrong said. "In the public eye or not."
Told someone bet he'd be president of the United States within a few years, he said:
"You might have wasted your money. Politics and the good of the public community interest me. But I have no dreams of the White House."

Many Guard and Reserve servicemembers and veterans activated after Sept. 11, 2001 are eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. If you are a Guard or Reserve member or veteran who served at least 90 consecutive days on active duty in the Armed Forces since Sept. 11, 2001, you're eligible.
The new bill goes well beyond helping to pay for tuition; many veterans who served after Sept. 11, 2001, will get full tuition and fees paid directly to their school, a monthly housing stipend, and up to $1,000 a year stipend for books and supplies.
Determining Your Payment Amount - The amount of benefits you receive under this program are determined by the actual amount of accumulated post 9/11 active-duty service you have. To be eligible for the full benefit, you must have 36 months of active duty service since Sept. 11, 2001 or have been discharged due to a service-connected disability. Here is a quick reference showing the percentage of total combined benefit eligibility based on the following periods of post 9/11 service:
What Active Duty Time Counts - The following active duty qualifies for Post-9/11 GI Bill eligibility:
All forms of inactive duty training (drills and funeral honors), as well as annual training do not qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefit.
Tuition Rates - Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill you will be provided full tuition at any public school. If you are attending a private or foreign school, the VA will pay you an annual maximum of $21,970.46.
Monthly Housing Stipend - The Post-9/11 GI Bill also pays a Monthly Housing Allowance based on the ZIP code of the location of the school you are attending - not your home ZIP code. This stipend currently averages $1,611 a month, but can exceed $2,700 depending on where you go to school. Students taking 100% of their courses online are eligible for a monthly stipend equal to half of the national average stipend, which is currently $805.50.
Book and Supply Stipend - You will receive a lump sum payment the first month of each quarter, semester, or term. The payment will help cover the cost of books, supplies, equipment, and other educational fees for that academic term. The payment amount will be equal to either a quarter or half of the annual $1,000 cap for that academic year, depending on how the academic year is divided - quarter or semester terms.
Extended Benefits Expiration Date - Unlike the Montgomery GI Bill, the new GI Bill will allow you to use this benefit for up to 15 years from your last period of active duty of at least 90 consecutive days.

MINNEAPOLIS - The Metrodome has always brought trouble for Brett Favre. Maybe he just needed to play hurt.
Ignoring the broken thumb on his throwing hand, Favre passed for 194 yards and three touchdowns and the Green Bay Packers saved their season Sunday night with a 30-27 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
After two straight losses at home, the Vikings (6-2) saw their NFC North lead over the Packers (4-4) shrink to two games.
Two of Javon Walker's three receptions went for Green Bay touchdowns, and Ahman Green rushed 21 times for 137 yards - plus five catches for 52 yards and a score.
Favre, who improved to 3-9 in his career in the Vikings' noisy, climate-controlled home, completed 18 of 28 passes and threw one interception. He extended his consecutive starts streak to 198, an NFL record by a quarterback.
Daunte Culpepper threw two touchdown passes without an interception for Minnesota and plunged in from the 1-yard line with 33 seconds left to cut Green Bay's lead to three. The onside kick was recovered by the Packers' Darren Sharper.
Two field goals by Aaron Elling in the third quarter brought the Vikings into a tie at 20, but the Packers moved the ball at will the rest of the game. Green Bay took a 27-20 lead on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Favre to Walker on third-and-11.
Following a touchback on a Minnesota punt, the Packers put the game away with a 12-play, 71-yard drive that took 6:40 off the clock. Ryan Longwell's third field goal, a 27-yarder, gave Green Bay a 30-20 lead with 3:27 remaining.
Culpepper completed 21 of 34 passes for 202 yards, and Randy Moss caught six balls for 87 yards.
Minnesota running back Michael Bennett completed his comeback from two operations to fix a broken bone in his left foot suffered while running on a treadmill in March. Bennett, who grew up in Milwaukee, played for Wisconsin and had an uncle who played for the Packers, rushed eight times for 43 yards. He drew a loud roar after his first carry from the crowd of 64,482 - a franchise-record 61st consecutive sellout by the Vikings and their highest attendance ever.
Green Bay dominated the first half, racking up 317 total yards, an average of 8.3 per play. Yet because of a 43-yard TD pass from Culpepper to Moss on a third-and-1 play in the first quarter and one glaring mistake by Favre, the Packers led only 20-14.

"Central Falls ~ Blackstone River Corridor" Central Falls by Pawtuxet
Central Falls Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 50 photos
Central Falls has the reputation of being very small, very heavily populated, very poor, and well...not a garden spot. However it is part of the Blackstone River Nationally recognized corridor....where you can explore some of the history of the area while gliding along in a silent river boat on a hot day...with a nice breeze.
Central Falls is located next to Pawtucket, Rhode Island...just north of Providence and there are a series of rivers, waterfalls, old mills, and historic sites which you have to poke around to find. Poke we did, today...and had a lovely boat cruise on the river. This area is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and our mills grew and churned for many years until at one time we were the largest textile manufacturing center in the world. At one time we also claimed to be the biggest costume jewelry manufacturing center as well. Many mills throughout the northeast..now being converted into condominiums or torn down.....but along the Blackstone River, they are trying to retain the memory of those early years when the Browns and the Chace families got the wheels turning. You should also try to visit the Worker's Museum in Woonsocket and the Slater Mill in Pawtucket. Between the two, you will get the full story of the birth of the industrial revolution as well as the story of the immigrants who came to work the mills at the turn of the century.
Oh! Please do not confuse Pawtucket with Pawtuxet. Two different animals altogether. Pawtucket is north of Providence, while Pawtuxet is my village to the south of Providence.
Pawtucket and Central Falls operate closely because Central Falls is a city that is only one square mile! Many of our cities and towns are quite small, but this one....well, it's pretty extraordinarily small.
OK....so let's just get on the boat and take a ride through all this territory.
Heritage Festivals are common in Rhode Island as we are such a melting pot of nationalities here. The Polish people of Central Falls' St. Joseph's Parish celebrated their heritage recently, so we went off for a Sunday afternoon of Polkas and Pierogi.
Our guide told us that at one time the Blackstone River was the dirtiest river in the US. They've been working on changing that...and hope to have it up to a Class B river by 2015, I believe. It isn't easy to reverse the course of events after that much manufacturing took place for so many years...and noone had very much respect for the river. Now since the Clean River Act there is real progress and it is up to a Class C river. Here we see a man fishing in the river. They still recommend that you throw the fish back when you catch one...cause of the sediments that remain at the bottom. Looks like this man is having a nice Sunday afternoon regardless of the water quality.
- Pros:a town with hidden secrets
- Cons:ya gotta dig through to find the good stuff

I visited Central Falls and Cumberland and found that the Columbian and other Latin American immigrant influences dominated--some great restaurants along Broad Street...
The Polish Heritage Festival sounds great but some things there, like hotdogs or face painting, were not Polish. The name of the polka is misleading - it's Czech even if it was danced in Poland too. Loved the river cruise and the pictures of nature.
I enjoyed your updates with the Polish festival, Janet - and even a 'Superman' church. Very glad to see there's at least no visible sign of the former pollution. Isn't it good to find these hidden local gems!
The Polish festival was enlightening, and a reread of your outstanding introduction was a delight. Charming river cruise. It seems to me that all the places you enjoy are charming, historic, and quite interesting. Superior photographs, Janet.
Loved the little boat trip & the info on the former mills
Central Falls has nothing to do with Pawtucket; it was originally part of Lincoln until it was incorporated as a city in 1895. And ask people who lost limbs from machines or developed brain cancer from hazardous chemicals, about the industrial revolution.
I was amazed yesterday to see a deer on the green at work, I work in a very built up area.
The river banks look like they were completely out of any urban area. Very interesting hisorical info in intro.
Hi Janet, This looks like a very interesting river cruise that we would enjoy. I love seeing these little out-of-the-way places featured on VT.
Enjoyable glide on the river. Going through your pictures and texts is very relaxing, so the cruise itself must have been fabulous!

Interest in algebraic curves and surfaces of high degree as geometric models or shape descriptors for different model-based computer vision tasks has increased in recent years, and although their properties make them a natural choice for object recognition and positioning applications, algebraic curve and surface fitting algorithms often suffer from instability problems. One of the main reasons for these problems is that, while the data sets are always bounded, the resulting algebraic curves or surfaces are, in most cases, unbounded. In this paper, the authors propose to constrain the polynomials to a family with bounded zero sets, and use only members of this family in the fitting process. For every even number d the authors introduce a new parameterized family of polynomials of degree d whose level sets are always bounded, in particular, its zero sets. This family has the same number of degrees of freedom as a general polynomial of the same degree. Three methods for fitting members of this polynomial family to measured data points are introduced. Experimental results of fitting curves to sets of points in R2 and surfaces to sets of points in R3 are presented

Research Institution:
AbstractWe propose a plan sentinel prototype consisting of three components. The first component is the development of a plan mining tool which identifies and computes false or missing assumptions and deviations to plans and time phased tasks. The second component, the annotated database, computes plans which the plan mining tool access and parses into a logical annotated rule set. Finally, MAVIS, a tool developed by 21st Century Technologies, shall integrate data from diverse sources and databases for the purpose of regenerating plans. We use Oracle's database and development tools for the implementation of the proposed plan sentinel prototype. Probabilistic and Temporal Reasoning Systems are deployed to solve the requirements outlined within this effort.

Anna Hurd, 16, allegedly murdered by boyfriend after she started texting another boy
Hurd (pictured at bottom with her boyfriend) was found dead five blocks from her home.
Early on the morning of February 23, 16-year-old Anna Hurd's body was found in Hillside Park in Maplewood. She had been stabbed to death. After days of investigating, authorities late last week arrested Anna's boyfriend, 17-year-old Anthony Mitchell, in connection with her murder.
SEE ALSO: Suicide connected to Cold Spring cop killing suggests police arrested the wrong man
Mitchell hasn't yet been charged, and today Ramsey County prosecutors asked for a 24-hour extension which would give them until tomorrow to file charges. In an interview with Fox 9 conducted the day after Hurd's body was found, Mitchell tearfully denied he had anything to do with his girlfriend's murder.
But in an interview with the Pioneer Press, Anna's father, Patrick Hurd, said his daughter was considering a move to live with her mother in Texas, and she had recently been texting a boy down there. Patrick said Anna's communication with the boy in Texas "pushed" Mitchell "over the edge."
Madison Marfell, 15, a friend of Anna's, [said last Friday] that when Anna's dad suggested to police that the boyfriend had been the one arrested, they didn't deny his assertion.
"Me and Anna, we were really close," Marfell said. "We were like sisters."
She said she heard from several people that Anna had been at a house party with her boyfriend Friday night and that on the way home they got into an argument. The argument centered around a planned trip to Texas, she said.
Marfell described Anna's boyfriend as clingy. "He got jealous of me and Anna and our relationship," she said.
She said the boy attended a memorial service for Anna [last] Thursday at St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church in North St. Paul. The church is across the street from North High School, the school that Hurd once attended.
"I told him that if he did this, he was going to go to hell," she said, which caused him to cry.
But Patrick Hurd told the PiPress that he thought of Mitchell as "a pretty decent young man."
"Anna trusted him with her life. She said so. I said, 'Anna, who's got your back?' And she said [her boyfriend]," Patrick said. "When I said, 'Anna, who's got your back?' I was praying she would say, 'You do, Dad,' but I didn't get that.'"
Anna played volleyball and basketball at North St. Paul High School.

Steven Spielberg said it was tough to persuade British actor Daniel Day-Lewis to play Abraham Lincoln - but the result was worth the struggle, winning rave reviews and Oscars speculation.
Lincoln is an intimate portrait of the 16th US president as he struggles to change history by abolishing slavery amid the still-raging Civil War.
For more than a decade, the veteran director had wanted to make a film about Lincoln, probably America's most revered president, who was assassinated in April 1865.
"I've just always had a personal fascination with the myth of Abraham Lincoln," he said ahead of the film's red-carpet premier at the American Film Institute (AFI) festival, which traditionally starts the annual Oscars race.
Spielberg lamented that Lincoln had been reduced to "a kind of cultural national stereotype," and no-one had made a film about him since 1939's Young Mr Lincoln by John Ford, in which Henry Fonda played the president.
The three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker decided from the start not to attempt to tell the Republican politician's whole life story, saying: "We would have been dilettantes as filmmakers and as actors."
With screenwriter and playwright Tony Kushner, who won a Pulitzer prize for the play Angels in America in 1993, Spielberg opted to focus on the final months of Lincoln's life and his battle to abolish slavery.
The result is an intimate film mostly shot in interiors, apart from an opening battle scene, where the drama is driven by dialogue and a stellar cast including Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Day-Lewis's performance has already got some talking about the possibility he could win a third best actor Oscar to go with his golden statuettes for 1989's My Left Foot and 2008's There Will Be Blood.
The actor, known for his pickiness in choosing roles, hesitated for a long time to portray a "life that has been mythologised to that extent".
"Least of all did I want to be responsible for irrevocably staining the reputation of the greatest president this country's ever known," he added.
Spielberg confirmed: "It was hard to get him to say yes. If he had finally and ultimately said no, I would never have made the movie Abraham Lincoln. It'd be gone."

Does anyone here know how Delphi represents a reference to procedure?
for example
proc: TProc;
proc = procedure begin beep end;
What do we got in "proc"?
I know that for "method variable" the memory representation is 4 bytes for the "procedure address" followed by 4 bytes for the "object address", but for "reference to procedure" is somewhat different and I cannot quite figure it out.
The reason I want this is because I have some legacy code that I want to make it work with references.
Does anyone know something about it?

Spitzer's Old Running Mate Is Still Going With the Other Guy
David Paterson is standing by Scott Stringer.
Former accidental governor David Paterson was backing Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer for comptroller long before he knew his ex-boss was running. "I don't know if I would change my endorsement," he said yesterday, "but Eliot Spitzer is a dear friend and a person who long before he picked me to become lieutenant governor believed in me and encouraged me." And yet a promise is a promise: "I know David is going to stand with me, vote for me," said Stringer on the radio this morning. Sure enough, Paterson called in right away to affirm his support for the one not named Spitzer. He just won't forgive the guy for leaving him in charge.

You will need a compass for this letterbox and you will want bug spray in the summer.
You begin your quest at the conclusion of the Fire Tower Trail, stop on the stairs of the remains of the old building.
On the lookout for fire, you will read on the sign, ironically though, the lookout burned down.
At the sign, set your compass for 140° and take five steps.
Head East for 9 paces.
A trail is closed just ahead, so to the right you must go.
Balance on the fallen logs until you find a square of concrete with a collection of wood in the middle.
Stop there and puzzle this odd spectacle, the remnants of something that may remain unknown.
Continuing in the same direction youd travelled before, go around the large tree, which has littered the surrounding ground with pinecones.
Hop over a small log and travel until you must make a decision.
A left or a right on this old trail you must decide.
Right is wrong and left is right, and go in that direction for 33 paces.
Look for the fallen tree whose trunk still stands.
In this trunk you will find your treasure.

Nor were any of the shows in previous years. Mostly unattractive people standing around looking at mostly uninteresting and profoundly unarousing art. Unarousing is forgivable -- different strokes, and all that -- but uninteresting is fatal.

I am simply trying to add GPO to an OU for WSUS. For some reason it is not applying the GPO when the users log in. There was a Websense GPO in there that i can not delete. It tells me the Server is Unwilling to Process the request. Could this be my issue and if so what do I do? Thanks for any help.
Thanks, Ryan
