$7000 Attic Insulation: Stuffed with gold and fairies, or a good deal?
Related back to this question, we are finally pulling the trigger on a new furnace, hoping to get the work done before a state rebate program for such purchases expires. We have gotten several good bids, and are taking more, but the best one came from a guy who would also fix our insulation problem- for $7000. We're a little daunted. [more inside]
How much insulation should we buy?
At what point is adding more insulation R-value overkill? [more inside]

The versatile 22-year-old has provided capable cover for regulars like Tim Visser, Lee Jones, Nick de Luca and Tom Brown across a number of roles since graduating from the Murrayfield side's youth ranks last February.
He has gone on to make 15 appearances for Michael Bradley's team and chipped in with four tries, which was enough to convince the head coach to offer the Edinburgh-born Scotland A cap a new two-and-a-half-year contract.
He told www.edinburghrugby.org: "As a local boy I used to come to the games as a fan and was even ball boy at a couple of games, so to get this chance as a fully contracted player is a dream come true, and gives me the confidence to push on to the next stage in my career.
"At the start of the season I didn't imagine I'd be involved as much as I have been, but I've managed to get my foot in the door and keep it there with a few good performances.
"I've been involved in some massive games, the derby against Glasgow Warriors and in the Heineken Cup, with each game seeming like it's the biggest game of my career. I've loved every minute of it.
"It was my goal at the start of the season to get a number of games and secure this contract extension, so I need to set some new targets, keep working hard and push for more chances to start for Edinburgh Rugby."
Bradley added: "As well as being a top young player, Dougie's a keen learner and a fantastic example of how, with the right attitude and commitment, young players from the local area will be given the opportunity to be nurtured and excel at this club."

FLY CREEK � Fly Creek Cider Mill is preparing for its 158th season.
When the mill opens on Thursday, April 10, visitors will be able to enjoy daily tastings of more than 40 specialty foods including barbeque sauces, marinades, salad dressings, syrups, salsas, dip mixes, apple wines and hard ciders.
New this year is the completed restoration of the water turbine that powers the mill. This was the third and most extensive restoration of the turbine works since the Michaels family purchased the mill in 1962. Sourcing the project locally, the mill contracted with Una-Lam of Sidney to replace the 12-foot tall wooden water silo. Repair of the Lesner turbine was performed by Cardish Machine Works of Watervliet. Cardish re-fabricated the blade assembly and fitted a new drive shaft that powers a series of flat belts that power the press. During the removal the mill team seized the opportunity to repair the tank�s foundation base and retaining wall. A new epoxy liner was installed in the pipe that brings water from the millpond to the water-tank in which the turbine is located.
�This restoration project was to-date the largest for our mill,� said Bill Michaels, co-owner of the mill, in a news release. �Personally it is very rewarding to have the opportunity to maintain and preserve our historic site for generations to witness cider being made the old-fashioned way.
The mill will start pressing fresh cider in the fall, but visitors to the opening will be able to taste cider that was pressed in November and frozen for sale in spring and summer.
Returning on April 26 for a second year is the CiderRun which has been expanded to include a 10K as well as the 5K run and 3K walk. This year�s CiderRun will benefit the Otsego and Delaware County Big Buddy mentoring program. For registration and more race information, visit www.delawareopportunities.org.
For more information, programming and events or to request a copy of their brochure, visit www.flycreekcidermill.com or call 607-547-9692.

Skip to comments.AWOL Soldiers Reconsider Return to U.S.
Posted on 11/05/2006 5:01:25 PM PST by Excuse_My_Bellicosity
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Nov 4, 2006 (AP) Since going to Canada to avoid another deployment to Iraq, Corey Glass has considered returning to the United States. But after hearing that a fellow former soldier who surrendered to the military and was ordered to return to his unit instead of being discharged, Glass may not return at all.
"They're not going to win the hearts and minds like that," said Glass, 24, who signed on with the Indiana National Guard in 2002.
Kyle Snyder, a one-time combat engineer who joined the military in 2003, disappeared Wednesday, a day after surrendering at Fort Knox and 18 months after fleeing to Vancouver instead of redeploying to Iraq.
Snyder, 23, of Colorado Springs, Colo., said a deal had been reached for a discharge, but he found out he would be returned to his unit at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
His troubles are complicating efforts for those among the 220 American soldiers who fled to Canada and want to return to the United States, according to lawyers, soldiers and anti-war activists.
"Nobody's going to come back from Canada anymore," said James Fennerty, a Chicago-based attorney who represents Snyder and other AWOL soldiers.
Several soldiers who went to Canada have said they don't want to return to Iraq. Sgt. Patrick Hart, who deserted the Fort Campbell, Ky.-based 101st Airborne Division in August 2005, a month before his second deployment, said he felt misled about the reasons for the war.
"How can I go over there if I don't believe in the cause? I still consider myself a soldier, but I can't do that," said Hart, a Buffalo, N.Y., native who served more than nine years in the military.
"The whole story behind it, it all feels like a big lie," Glass said. "I ain't fighting for no lie."
Fennerty said he reached a deal with the Army allowing Snyder, a private with the 94th Engineer Battalion, to receive an other-than-honorable discharge.
It's a deal similar to one Darrell Anderson, a 24-year-old Iraq war veteran, received in October. After three days at Fort Knox, Anderson, who has denounced the war as "illegal" and "immoral," was released to his family in Lexington, then discharged.
But Snyder ended up at a bus station in Louisville, with orders to go to St. Louis, then Fort Leonard Wood. Snyder, who said the brutality of what he saw happening to civilians in Iraq prompted him to desert, left with an anti-war activist instead of going back to the post.
Gini Sinclair, a Fort Knox spokeswoman, declined to address Snyder's case. But she said deserters who turn themselves in are automatically returned to their units if the unit is in the United States at the time of surrender. Once reunited with the unit, the commander there decides what becomes of the soldier, Sinclair said.
When a soldier surrenders at Fort Knox and is sent to his unit, he is either put on a plane or a bus, sometimes alone, she said.
"In some cases, they will be escorted," Sinclair said. "I don't know what decides if that happens."
That policy, and the question of whether an AWOL soldier can reach a deal that trumps it, is causing consternation among soldiers.
"After what they did to him, I don't see anybody going back," said Glass, a Fairmount, Ind., native who is currently in Toronto.
Some are seeking refugee status in Canada. Hart, who was joined in Toronto by his wife and their 3-year-old son, served time in Bosnia in the early 1990s, became a reserve, then went to Iraq after returning to active duty. The idea of returning to the United States is appealing to Hart, because he would like to see family and friends.
"I could see going back under some kind of amnesty program or something like that," Hart said. "But I don't trust them. My enemy isn't foreign now. It's domestic."
Well there is always Levenworth
COWARDS...........they want to suck off the teat of Democracy but want YOU to defend them.
Meadow Muffin
"But I don't trust them. My enemy isn't foreign now. It's domestic."
What? So, he's at war with Canada now?
They're not gonna win your heart or mind, but they're gonna own your ass.
Glass reneged on a contract-- he took from the Guard and didn't fulfill his commitment... and he's worried about hearts and minds?
I say let his unit administer the punishment.
And while we're at it, lets impose some sanctions on Canada that make them think twice about harboring fugitives.
If Canada wants them, they are welcome to them.
Can we put bounties out on them?
This isn't even similar to Vietnam. There is no draft, the military is voluntary. Furthermore, deaths in Iraq are much less than they were in Vietnam. If these people were against going to war, they shouldn't have become part of the military. It isn't as though they didn't have a choice.
Geeez. That just breaks my heart. America needs all the cowards she can get.
Only one way to "win hearts and minds"....something CUT & RUN COWARDS know squat about. If this POS returns, he should immediately face court-martial and firing squad.
I agree completely. Why do we want them back? Because they're homesick? Tough sh!t.
Just leave and never come back. That is punishment enough.
The Army is probably just letting them go because they don't want to give this scum the publicity they crave. I think it's a mistake. They're still getting publicity.
Deserters should rot in prison.

Kyle Snyder, a one-time combat engineer who joined the military in 2003, disappeared Wednesday, a day after surrendering at Fort Knox and 18 months after fleeing to Vancouver instead of redeploying to Iraq.
None of them should ever be allowed back... unless it's in chains. F@#% 'em all.
It's their own fault. No one forced them to join the military.
A coward on all fronts. He will only come back to the US if he gets amnesty??? After deserting during wartime??
Firing squad. On Pay-per-view. I'd pony up $20.
Corey Glass seems like a regular 25-year-old; he likes skateboarding, grill cheese sandwiches and Quentin Tarantino movies; he doesn't enjoy illegally occupying middle eastern countries.
Glass spent five months in Iraq as a sergeant with the United States National Guard, before becoming a 'war-resister'. He left the army, lived underground in the U.S. for eight months and then came to Canada in August, claiming refugee status. On October 19, Glass will speak in Fredericton about why he refuses to fight.
"When I joined the national guard, they told me the only way I would be in combat is if there were troops occupying the United States," said Corey Glass in a phone interview from Toronto, where he is searching for an apartment. "I signed up to defend people and do humanitarian work filling sandbags if there was a hurricane; I should have been in New Orleans, not Iraq."
"The US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter," said UN Chief Kofi Annan during a 2004 interview with the BBC.
Corey Glass never personally witnessed human rights violations during his service but he "heard stories from people coming back from duty."
How many got to use this excuse when they thought they were joining a fighting Military, instead of a catering service for the Clinton Travel Office
Forget the bounty.....
Pay my expenses, and I'll glady go and hunt these cowards down.
Semper Fi
Stay in Canada you vermin. I would feel sick to know other people were going and dying in my place. Disgusting filth.
As another poster said, you can have a little understanding if there was a draft, but this is the worst kind of dodging -- taking the perks while the going is easy, but once it gets rough -- hightailing it out of the country.
Exactly! They want to come back to the US and reap the rewards of liberty given to us by men who bravely served and sacrificed for their country in time of war. They chose Canada, so they can rot there for all I care.
No deposit no return!!!!!!!!!!!
We have extradition treaties with Canada. We should use them to arrest these DESERTERS and bring them back here to make big rocks into little rocks for the rest of their ignorant, cowardly lives.
At least make him pay back all of the money uncle sam has paid him, plus interest, before letting him back in.
Hi IncPen... Hey... how in the heck to I put a photo in my postings?
Many Thanks for any help!
What is it about growing that little tuft of beard under one's lower lip that proclaims oneself to be a total jerk?
Seen it many times.
Apply for Mexican citizenship, scramble across the border, amnesty is waiting for you after the mid term election
Must be part of the military that only joined to get free education, but when it comes to defending their country, they want out, unlike the true heroes that remain in Iraq and even reenlist when they don't have to. These AWOL soldiers are thankfully a minority, I call them cut and Run Kerry types.
see your FR mail...
All they have to do is wait for another Democratic administration to get elected.
They can still in Canada we don't need those cowards coming back to the U.S.
Meant to put they can stay in Canada.
Fugg'n POGUES! HEll they are worse than POGUES!
There's good news every day if you look for it.
If he does he should return directly to a jail cell.
Who want to win your heart and mind deserter?
STF in Canada till hell freezes over. We dont want you back.
oh and yeah it's real easy for me to say that.
If he comes back he should get a one way ticket to Tikrit or Fallujah. I think a good 60 day stretch of convoy duty and pulling point on patrol should about do the trick.
In fact he should just DO HIS JOB.

The FEED is slightly different than the previous stuff delivery service I'm reviewing, Bike Loot, in that it's specifically designed to deliver nutritional products. You pick and tailor your deliveries based on your preferences and tastes. So rather than getting a package of de nieuw, you get exactly what what works for you when training and racing. Although, if you want de nieuw you can have that too. The box I received had numerous products I had never used before and was pleasantly surprised by most of them.

Think I like the variety more than anything. Buying things in bulk typically meant I was bored with something before I'd used it all. Personal service (I don't like chocolate) has been solid as well. Cycleboredom Agreed. You can definitely grind yourself down with the same flavors/foods every ride. Refreshing to hear the service has been accommodating to your preferences.

Belzei Gertrude (ベルゼイガートルード Beruzei Gātorūdo?) is one of the Seeds of Darkness to have been created by the Dark King after the first time Cure Black and Cure White defeated him. He is the leader of the three Seeds, and apparently the strongest. His main color is purple, and he gets rather irritated with Regine and Juna sometimes. His human alias is Yuuki Hidehiko (ゆうき ひでひこ Yūki Hidehiko?).
He and the others use Pretty Cure and the mascots to call upon the power to create later in the series, using a pile of destroyed furniture to mimic the hill of light. At the end of the series, they morph into one being and try to overturn the Dark King with the power to create, but fail, being killed in the process. When he fusions with Regine and Juna, all his body, including hair, became dark black.
As Yuuki Hidehiko, He resembles a small older gentleman with grey hair worn back with none of it in front of his ears or small, dark-colored eyes. He wears a brown suit with a pale yellow shirt and striped tie.
In his true form his hair stands up and changes to light silver-white to match his eyes. He has pale skin and wears a purple spandex suit with pieces of material wrapping around his arms and hand. He gains purple facial markings reminiscent of claws.

It is rather on the large size but so comfy and cozy. I love that the belt is attached. I'm 5'5" and wear size 8-10 and this wraps around me with the pockets meeting up close Togther in the front. Love how deep the pockets are great to hold my cellphone when I'm sitting on my porch in the morning waiting for my dog to finish her business. I bought the navy and it is a beautiful dark blue like sapphire. I don't mind that the robe is large it makes for more room to layer pajamas underneath on cold winter mornings. I would buy again. Also I've owned this robe a 3 years now and it hasn't faded and still looks like new. No one would know it's as old as it is 😉

I love my new robe! I needed a new robe for a short hospital stay after hip surgery. I knew I didn't want something too long or short, too heavy or small. This was just right! The quality, price and color is great! It shipped fast too! Ordering online without seeing it in person you never know for sure what you might get. I am so happy with this robe. It feels to me like the soft, plush baby blankets you find in the store. It's not too big and heavy and is very comfy! I highly recommend this robe to anyone looking for one (and did to those in the hospital on my many walking exercises down the hallway of the floor I was on). Thanks Overstock!!!

Some robes are so thick that they are heavy on your shoulders .... these soft cuddly lightweight beauties are comfy ... great to put on as you step out of the shower ... or when you give yourself a personal gift ... a day of reading and drinking hot chocolate when it is snowing ...you cannot even imagine how you will want to stay cuddled up all day ... they are difficult to get out of ..easy to put on ... enjoy !!! I bought one for my sister ... one for a friend ... and of course ... one for me ... and Christmas is coming ... if you are shipping these ... you will love that they don't weigh much ... so great for sending Santa to loved ones you won't see for the holidays ...

I LOVE THIS ROBE! It's super comfy, I love that it's made from organic cotton, and best of all the waist tie is sewn to the back, so I don't lose it in the wash -- something that always annoyed me about robes in the past. I can't recommend this enough.

Love this robe. New clothes always feel a bit stiff, so I washed it to soften it up a bit. It's nice and warm, but It's all natural fibers, so it breaths well. I'm 5'4" and it reaches my ankles--it was very important to me that it be long. Nice long sleeves that I can roll up or down. Best robe I've ever had.
You have plenty of big, fluffy towels to keep you warm when you hit the bathroom's cold tile floor after a shower. But haven't you forgotten something? Staying cozy after you have dried off requires a bathrobe to wear when you really need to warm up. A luxurious bathrobe can be a particularly great addition to your morning or evening shower or simply a soft piece of clothing to wrap up in on a lazy weekend. Still not convinced you need to buy one? Here are five more reasons you'll want to make sure you have a robe in your bathroom. Read More

Prosecutors say an Italian businessman recruited about 30 girls to attend parties at Premier Silvio Berlusconi's homes, selecting them for their looks and age and paying some of them to have sex with the Italian leader. They allege that between Sept. 2008 and May 2009 Gianpaolo Tarantini recruited women of "young age, slender frame," and told them what to wear and how to behave at the parties, according to a newly filed court document.

|Julien: 'We're not there yet'
|04.10.10 at 1:29 pm ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien was cautioning against counting any playoff berths before they're clinched prior to Saturday afternoon's matinee with the Carolina Hurricanes at TD Garden. With a win, the Bruins clinch a playoff spot and no worse than a No. 7 seed in the East and avoid the Washington Capitals in the first round.
[Click here to listen to Julien's pregame comments.]
"We're not there yet," Julien said. "This is an opportunity for us to control our own destiny. For me, we need to take care of business today. It's as simple as that. We need to be ready to go. And hopefully we are."
Meanwhile, Julien said defenseman Mark Stuart is still more than a few days away from returning to action after surgery to treat a finger infection. Tuukka Rask starts in net for the Bruins. Should the Bruins not clinch today, they finish up the season on Sunday afternoon in Washington against the Capitals.
|All eyes turn to New York
|04.09.10 at 1:21 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The equation has become pretty simple — The Bruins won on Thursday therefore any Rangers regulation loss guarantees Boston a playoff spot. There was a lot of talk yesterday about what type of scenarios would have to play out this weekend for Boston to make (or not make) the playoffs but it really just boils down to counting points. Boston has a three point lead over the ninth spot, the Rangers only have the potential to gain four points and start a home-and-home against the starting Friday.
The eyes of the Hub will be keenly attuned to Madison Square Garden tonight but there is more at stake for the Bruins than just a playoff birth this weekend. Head coach Claude Julien alluded to the fact after practice at Ristuccia Arena on Friday that the Bruins are also looking at playoff positioning as much as just making the tournament.
"It is a matter of sticking with it. Not just the fact that you get into the playoffs, but, where do you want to be in that situation?" Juliend said. "We've got an opportunity right now to be anywhere from sixth to ninth and we have to recognize that and we have to win as many games as we can."
Practice was loose on Friday and the feeling around the Bruins is that they are really taking to the example set by veteran Mark Recchi when he says that being in the midst of an NHL playoff race should be fun. Players were whooping and hollering on the rink as they continually messed up one of Julien's drills and gave a rousing applause when a unit got it right. Make no mistake about it though, the Bruins may be loose but the cord of tension that has been tightening around the team since the Olympic break is as tight as it has ever been.
"The biggest mistake is for [the sense of urgency] to be lessened," coach Claude Julien said. "Two points guarantees us a playoff spot but those two games coming up, Carolina, I just watched them last night against Montreal, they are playing pretty well. They are playing loose and playing well and they got a pretty good goaltender that keeps them in the game. I don't think that anything is a given but we have an opportunity to watch a game tonight that may, or may not give us the answer that we want."
Miroslav Satan Putting It Together
Forward Miroslav Satan has come on for the Bruins of late, scoring the game-winning goal among his two strikes last Saturday against Toronto and tying the game on Thursday after teaming with David Krejci to create a turnover on the forecheck and marching straight in on Sabres' goaltender Patrick Lalime.
Satan now has nine goals, three in the last week, in 36 games for the Bruins after missing the first half of the season before signing with Boston. He has gone stretches during his stay in the Hub where he has not been a factor but has proved to be good for the Bruins in the games that have mattered most.
"I think that was a good pickup by us," Julien said. "For what he has given us he has certainly been good. You know, he has always had good hands and has been a guy who has scored a lot of goals in this league and you know, again, his experience yesterday when he just took it to the net, those are the things that we have been talking about a lot and he finds those holes and he finds ways to score goals in those situations."
"I like what he has brought to our team. To me he has gotten better as he has played here and for a guy who didn't play the first half of the year to have, I think it is nine goals right now is pretty good for a team challenged to score to start with," Julien said.
The Bruins forecheck was active on Thursday and led to Satan and David Krejci breaking the puck loose off the half wall where Satan could take it straight to the net and the game-tying goal on a backhand. Since Julien changed the lines to give Krejci new wing mates the unit with Satan and Marco Sturm has been aggressive on the forecheck and has given the Bruins some scoring opportunities that may have not been present otherwise.
"The fact that we are aggressive creates turnovers and when players like Krejci and Satan create a turnover a turnover and are going in on net you are pretty comfortable because those guys are pretty crafty," Julien said.
|Big minutes coming for the blueliners
|04.07.10 at 12:39 pm ET
WILMINGTON — What happens when the core disintegrates?
You could take the movie version like in that terrible version of a modern B movie "The Core" in which there are a lot of mysterious lightning storms that happen to strike over Rome as an example. Or maybe in the new blockbuster "2012" in which the world tears itself to shreds and humanity's elite are forced to take refuge in the digital age version of the ark. Either way, it was not that pretty.
Perhaps not quite as dramatic, but the Bruins have relied on steady defense and goaltending this year to put themselves in position to make the playoffs despite their league-worst offense. Yet, in the last week, the Bruins have had two of their top three defensemen need to have surgery and their best blueliner and captain break his nose. Mark Stuart will miss about two weeks after having surgery for cellulitis in his finger and Dennis Seidenberg is out for the rest of the season (barring some miraculous playoff run) after having surgery to fix a lacerated flexor carpi radialis tendon in his left forearm that he sustained in the first period against Toronto on Saturday.
The Seidenberg surgery came more out of the blue because it seemed that he was all right on Tuesday after he talked to the media, giving no indication that an operation was imminent.
"I think in the morning he felt pain and obviously before the game we tried something with him and in the warmup he still felt pain," coach Claude Julien said. "In the short time I have known him I think it is pretty obvious that he is a tough individual, so for him not to go something was obviously wrong and the diagnosis we got from Toronto was not the same diagnosis we got here."
Add to that the perpetual mystery that is Andrew Ference (out for the regular season but being evaluated every day) and Boston has all of a sudden become very light on the back end.
Practice at Ristuccia on Wednesday looked a little more like training camp than a team preparing for its final three games in a season in a playoff race. Adam McQuaid and Andrew Bodnarchuk have been recalled to the Bruins from Providence, and the ways things are going they are up for longer than just the usual "emergency basis." On the offensive side, Trent Whitfield and Brad Marchand are not exactly the players one would expect to see on the roster in early April, but so it goes. (To be fair, Marchand and Whitfield have earned their extended cups of coffee.)
|Ryder, Wheeler among prominent line changes
|04.02.10 at 1:57 pm ET
WILMINGTON — There was a little bit of a new look to the lines at Bruins practice at Ristuccia on Friday.
The normal line groupings by sweater color were blown up by coach Claude Julien. Instead of the normal David Krejci, Blake Wheeler, Michael Ryder line wearing grey, Krejci was joined by Marco Sturm and Miroslav Satan in white sweaters to make the All-European line. Wheeler still skated in grey just this time with Vladimir Sobotka and Brad Marchand. Milan Lucic took Sturm's spot on the line with Patrice Bergeron and Mark Recchi.
That left the normal red, checking, line — Steve Begin, Shawn Thornton, Daniel Paille and Trent Whitfield.
Oh yeah. And Ryder.
"Whoever plays together I think we can definitely play together and get shots on net," Ryder said by the way of a non-committal response when asked if he saw the red sweater as a demotion.
Julien admitted that the shake up was definitely part of a wake up call that the coaching staff is giving to certain players, like Ryder, Wheeler, Sturm and Lucic, who have been pretty stale of late.
"You saw it today, making some changes, we have got to find some ways of making consistency here," Julien said. "There is a lot of stuff being done to get those guys going but at the same time we have to make changes on the ice. We are struggling to score goals and, you know, you got certain guys who just aren't going while and you hope that making changes will either spark them, wake them up or at least give some different lines some better opportunities."
The situation is getting serious for Ryder. He has one goal since Feb. 13 and has been held without a shot in three of his last four games. For a guy who is supposed to be the sniper, that is not the way things are supposed to work. He admitted that it was in his mind that the demotion to the red sweater could further lead to a demotion where he has no sweater, red, grey or Black and Gold.
"Definitely, it could happen," Ryder said. "When you are looked at to score goals and you're not scoring it is definitely in mind but I just have to keep working hard right now and step it up even another notch."
For Ryder, he would have to step up a first notch before "stepping it up even another," which he said twice in his five-minute scrum with reporters. He also said that he has been focused on battling though shooting the puck has not been his top priority.
"It makes a difference when everybody on your line is shooting the puck, getting chances and getting more opportunities you have a better chance of scoring," Ryder said. "I was not thinking about shooting a lot. Sometimes you just have to pound those areas and if you get out of position you don't get that shot. Now it is just about battling hard and trying to get to those areas and get pucks on net."
Wheeler was also held without a shot last night and is now on a line with two young players who have been on the fringe of the roster (or in Providence) for most of the year.
"Well, you know, it is sometimes good, almost refreshing to see new faces, play with new guys. Changes like that are always welcome," Wheeler said. "Anytime you go the majority of two games and zeroes goals, one at the end of the Devils game, change is probably a good thing."
Wheeler had the Bruins best opportunity with a short-handed 2-on-1 break with Krejci as his trailer but let the opportunity fizzle out in front of him without putting the puck on net. He explained the play Friday morning.
"It is disappointing," Wheeler said. "It was a play in the game that could have made it different and obviously you expect more out of yourself and I just didn't make the play, that is all there is to it."
After Recchi called out some of his teammates for not giving their best effort Thursday night and two games with only one goal, changes to the lines in some way or form were to be expected on Friday. In the dogfight that the Bruins find themselves, it will definitely take all 20 skaters to make sure their last five games are not their last of the season.
"In a way it is not that complicated, if guys work their butts off things will happen, no matter who they play with," Julien said.
|Julien vs. Ryder: Two takes on same problem
|at 11:33 am ET
Claude Julien was pulling no punches following Thursday's 1-0 head-scratching loss to the Florida Panthers at TD Garden.
"There's no doubt we have some players who could've been much better for us," the Bruins coach said. "And a lot of those players are the players we need to help us get through this. You can't stand here and say, 'We were outstanding.' We just lost the game. If everyone were as good as they could be, we would have won this game."
And if punches equate to shots on net, Michael Ryder wasn't throwing any.
And therein lies the fundamental problem Julien had with his team and the player he considers his best shooter on the team.
"Ryder is probably our best shooter and ends up with zero shots," Julien said. "Those are the things we needed from those players." Julien. "I thought Ryder played a much better game in New Jersey and we needed more out of him [Thursday] as well.
"He's one of a few more that we needed more out of."
But Julien made it a point to say that Ryder was hardly alone. There's Blake Wheeler, without a goal in nine games.
"The chances… Wheeler goes on the 2-on-1 and doesn't get shot." Julien on Wheeler's short-handed chance in third period.
But Ryder said the effort is still there.
"If I had an answer maybe we could figure it out," Ryder said. "It's definitely disappointing when you're supposed to have the advantage at home and you can't find a way to put wins together. We have one more game left here, I think, and it's a big game. We have to make sure we get a win there. Right now every point counts and we are on the road for Toronto and Washington. Two big games and we have to find ways to put the puck in the net."
Ryder has just one goal in his last 18 games.
"It has been a tough year overall for us scoring goals," Ryder said. "We got that time of year where you have to find ways [to score]. It's getting into the grind with only five games left. We need to start getting some wins and getting ourselves some space. But we did a lot of good things tonight that we can look at. It's just a matter of us still throwing pucks at the net and maybe getting more traffic or maybe bearing down a little bit more."
|Recchi doesn't see everybody there
|at 9:50 am ET
After another frustrating home loss and the Bruins' second straight game without a regulation goal, B's coach Claude Julien and team leader Mark Recchi openly questioned the team's desire and heart.
"We have to find ways to win these games," Recchi said. "We did in New Jersey because we had everyone in. Tonight, we didn't have everybody there, so the results are there."
Julien added that he was frustrated to see the team's best shooter, Michael Ryder, finish with zero shots on goal. "There's no doubt we have some players who could've been much better for us tonight," Julien said. "Ryder is probably our best shooter and ends up with zero shots. Those are the things we needed from those players."
After the game, Julien said the 'push' has to come from within the dressing room.
And at 42 years young, it was Recchi pushing the hardest.
"We had a lot of good chances and we just didn't score," Recchi said. "I mean, we can't ask for much more, effort-wise. I still don't think we had 20 guys tonight, but you know, the guys that were going were generating a lot of opportunities and you got to put those in. We need ' like I said, this time of year, you need 20 guys, regardless, so that's a little bit of a disappointment, but we definitely controlled the game and played the right way and we should have won this one."
Recchi saw a Florida Panthers team that, while not in the playoff chase, would come in and play a conservative, hard-checking style. And, when the visitors went up, 1-0, in the first period, that's exactly what the Bruins got.
"They played hard," Recchi said. "We knew they were going to play hard. I mean, we've had some tough games against them this year and, you know, if anybody watches the games and I don't know, I'm not sure how many guys do, but they play hard. They compete. They haven't quit. They've got some young players that want to play well and you know, they've got some, obviously some leaders over there who are not letting those young guys quit and I don't know if we underestimated them or not, but this time of year, I don't think you should underestimate anybody.
"I've been on the other end where you're spoiling opportunities and there's nothing more enjoyable when you know you're five games away from the end of the season and if you can hurt somebody's chances of making the playoffs, that's what you play for and that's what those guys are playing for right now."
Recchi was trying so hard on the ice, he thought he was rewarded midway through the second period when he re-directed a shot and raised his stick a bit prematurely, almost willing the puck in the net when nothing else was working.
"Yeah, I thought it went in, but obviously, it didn't, but yeah, I thought it went in," Recchi admitted. "We had a lot of good opportunities. Their goalie [Scott Clemmensen] made some good saves. You've got to give him some credit too, but, you know, a lot of pucks ' he's a big kid and he played big, and a lot of pucks hit him and we weren't able to capitalize."
But again, it comes down to having everyone in and Recchi made it clear Thursday night that, with just five games left, that's something he expects.
"In a game like this, if you have 20 guys, we don't lose, and we still miss," he said. "[In] New Jersey, we had 20 guys, and we win. It's no secret this time of year. The teams that have guys that are ' and we talked about this after the last game ' you might not feel good, but this time of year, chances are you don't feel great but, you know, you have to dig deep down and do it for your teammates, do it for yourself. You have to find ways.
"If you're a goal scorer and you're not scoring goals, you got to be physical; and you got to play great defensively, and if you're a physical guy, then you know, you got to chip in at times, so there's a whole bunch of factors that play into this and I think we have to, with five games remaining, I think we shouldn't have to be talking about it, but the results are there. [If] we don't have 20 guys, we don't win, and [if] we do, we win."
|Only big games left for Bruins
|04.01.10 at 12:56 pm ET
At this point in the season there are no more trap games, no wake up games, no small games or revenge games.
They are just big games.
"A win is a win or a loss is a loss, no matter who you play," coach Claude Julien said after Thursday's morning skate. "Whether you are playing a top team in the league, it is going to be a tough competition, just like it was last game or whether you play a team that is out of the playoffs and is loose and they want to be spoilers. If you look at it, we just can't afford to lose a game."
With four teams bunched within two points for the final three playoff spots, the team that can get the hottest right now will be able to separate itself from the pack. If Boston wants to be that team, it has a even chance in front of it. Of the Bruins final six games, three come against also-rans (tonight against Florida, Saturday against the Leafs and April 10 against the Hurricanes) and three comes against the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, including two different trips to D.C. to visit the Capitals.
The Bruins have been playing to the level of their competition all year. For every dramatic 1-0 victory over the Devils there have been 5-3 disappointments against the Lightning. Looking back on the season, it has definitely been a roller coaster for fans of hockey in the Hub.
"You have to take advantage of the opportunities and you have to be ready to play," Julien said. "We've got to be better, got to find ways to win and find some consistency."
Florida has been in a funk of late as losers of their last four including a 6-2 in Buffalo on Wednesday where they were outshot 41-15 by the surging Sabres. Defenseman Dennis Seidenberg was a member of the Panthers the last time the Bruins played them (a 3-2 Bruins shootout win on in Sunrise, Fla on Feb. 13, the last game before the Olympic break). He is adjusting well to his new team and has started to contribute offensively with four points (two goals, two assists) and a plus-four rating in his last five games.
"Every time you play against your old team, it is different," Seidenberg said. "You know all the guys you play against. But, in this case, you have to put it in the back of your mind and just concentrate on getting the points."
Yes, the points are crucial and Boston does have a real opportunity to move up a couple of spots in the standings with a win on Thursday, but there are other franchise considerations at play around the league that are hard to not note.
For instance, there is a peculiar conundrum for the Bruins as a organization (though not for the players and coaches) in gaining two points at the expense of the Panthers. Florida currently sits three points ahead of the Maple Leafs (tied with the Islanders) for the third worst spot in the NHL. The significance, of course, is that Boston owns the Leafs first round pick this June and would love to see it be the No. 2 overall. The best way to ensure that would be to lose to the Panthers tonight and then beat the Leafs on Saturday. Nobody on the team would ever dare mention it as a course of action but the fans are well aware of where the Leafs are in the standings. If the playoffs are not in the near future for the Bruins they can still take solace in a lottery pick.
— Ference Watch: Day 7
A fair amount of Julien's pregame presser centered around the healthy, and potential availability, of oft-injured defenseman Andrew Ference. The blue liner does need offseason surgery for a tear in his abductor muscle in his groin as well as a hernia, but that does not mean he is completely unavailable to the Bruins for the rest of the season. Julien said that the plan at the start of this week was to shut Ference down for the week and then take it day-by-day from there. Ference can play with the injury as there is no further health risk of what he can do to the injured area but that does not mean he would be in anyway effective on the ice. Even if Boston is able to bring him back next week, there is no telling how long he will last. Julien acknowledged this point.
"Exactly, I think that's the situation. There is no guarantee. There is a guarantee that he will be back and he will be okay," Julien said. "Now, how long he will last, that's a gamble. When I say a gamble, there is no health risk to it, but it is a gamble we are willing to take. At least if one of our 'D's go down, at least there is someone with experience to step in. You look at Providence right now, [Adam] McQuaid is still out of the lineup, so you need some depth along the way and for him to at least give us that insurance is good for us."
All other healthy skaters were present and accounted for at the morning skate.

Eugene J. Murphy, who loved a good joke, died Sunday, January 12, 2014 at the age of 86 with his family at his bedside. His friend's figure that the first thing he will say to St. Peter will be "Have you heard the one about the ." In an uncharacteristic act of planning, he wrote his own obituary including this sentence, the one above, and most of those that follow.
I have a carefully nurtured reputation among many acquaintances. For the few friends whom I have not alienated for never being on time for any engagement, save this one! I died on Sunday the 12th. In keeping with the aforesaid reputation, my epitaph should read "He was supposed to be here hours ago." Born on September 24, 1927 in a bedroom on McDougal Street in Brooklyn, the youngest of three children, I was named for the doctor who delivered me, and for an elegant, handsome uncle named Eugene and for Gene Tunney, the boxer who bested Jack Dempsey on September 22, to retain the world's heavyweight championship. (I myself have never been in the ring.) I served for two years in the
U.S. Navy
in the waning years of
World War II
, went to a state college in Colorado where I majored in English, and met my first wife. We married in Chicago, moved east and, after graduating from
New York University
, found work as a newspaper
, columnist and editor for New Jersey dailies in Hackensack and Passaic. In the second half of my working life, I served as a press contact and employee corporate communications manager for PSEG, the New Jersey gas and electric utility company, and served briefly as a writing instructor at St. Peter's College in Jersey City, NJ. The beauty I discovered in Colorado guided our four children through their early years and managed the checkbook while I preened paragraphs until 1991, when she succumbed, with unsurpassing grace, to lymphatic lymphoma. While I was graduating from grammar school in Queens, NY, a little 5 year old girl was living in Holland. The girl eventually came to the United States and became a US citizen. In 1991, we met on a blind date and in 1993, we married and resided in New Jersey. In 2000, we moved to Palm Coast, FL to live out our retirement years. Sanneke, who will now always have to gas her own car, survives, as do my daughters, Kathleen Murphy and her husband, Peter Mullen., Montclair, NJ, Mary Ann Murphy, Clifton, NJ, Patricia Murphy ad her husband, Flint Crumpacker, Seattle, WA, my son Thomas Murphy, West Milford, NJ, Stepchildren Nikki Webb and her husband Randy, Palm Coast, FL, Raymond van Straten, his wife Chris and their son Timmy, Chino Hills, CA, Karen Kronenfeld, her husband Jeff, daughters Rachel and Becky and son Zachary, Sparta, NJ; Granddaughters Genevieve Murphy-Bradacs and her husband Matt Ventura, and Emily Murphy-Mullen; Grandsons James and Michael Murphy and Owen Crumpacker, Great Grandchildren Beatrice and Benjamin Ventura and my dog Boefie.
Gene Murphy was passionate about grammar, gardening, and grist for his stories. A keen observer of life, he followed the writer Eudora Welty's advice to "listen for stories." He found those stories in the most unlikely places and shared them without reservation. We are all the richer for his gift - and poorer with his loss. A natural communicator; he garnered awards for both his newspaper and corporate writing as well as his poetry. A member of the Tomoka Poets, he is the winner of the 2013 Gwendolyn Brooks Poetry Award and his work is included in Love and Other Passions, an anthology of poets. He attended the 2012 Dodge Poetry Festival in Newark and seized the opportunity to share his poetry at an open mike event. Gene is a past president of the New Jersey Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) and IABC District 1. Above all, he was a devoted Christian and remained steadfast in his faith. He attended the 8am service every Sunday at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Palm Coast, as well as the 11:00am service at Hammock Community Church, also in Palm Coast, where he was a member of the choir. Because of his love for scripture, he often volunteered to read bible passages to the congregation. The family has comfort knowing that he is at peace in the arms of the Lord. He will be very dearly missed. The family will receive visitors on Friday evening, January 17th from 5pm - 7pm at Lohman Funeral Home Ormond, 733 W. Granada Blvd, Ormond Beach, FL. Funeral services will be held at the same location at 11:00am on Saturday morning the 18th followed by a burial at Daytona Memorial Park, 1425 Bellevue Avenue, Daytona Beach, FL. Donations can be made in his name to his favorite charity, Heifer International, 1 World Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72202. Condolences may be shared with the family at

Yann Kermorgant scored twice and Jonathan Obika and Johnnie Jackson once each to ensure the Addicks ended the campaign ninth and undefeated in eight games.
Bottom club Bristol City finished without a win in nine games and O'Driscoll preparing for life in League One.
"What we have tried to do is instil habits and attitudes that, no matter what division you are in, you need as a team," he said.
"That's been something that when you look at the last two seasons we have probably been lacking, not through anyone's fault.
"You have to reflect on where you are as a football club and we are trying to address that, not just on the playing field but throughout the whole business. We have got to change the culture.
"Bobby (Reid) took his goal well. I don't know how big (Charlton goalkeeper) David Button is but to chip him over his head is pretty good. He saw his mum in the crowd after scoring and wanted to celebrate with her, and we were telling him to get the ball and start again."

With the 'grand departure' in Yorkshire less than a fortnight away, it's time to look ahead at various issues bubbling away ahead of the 2014 Tour de France.
While Team Sky will not make an announcement as to which eight riders will support defending champion Chris Froome until Wednesday, many squads have submitted their teams ahead of the season's most prestigious race.
A lot can happen between now and Leeds - not least the small matter of numerous national road championships - but already it's possible to address some of the key scenarios that look likely to make the headlines in July.
Our cycling blogger Blazin' Saddles scrawls down a few observation as D-Day fast approaches...
Expect heavy rain in Yorkshire
It's been a balmy summer so far in the UK with even Wimbledon (an annual strawberry-eating festival that involves a bit of tennis on the side) starting this week under bright sun and blue skies. But with Glastonbury around the corner and the arrival of the world's biggest bike race a week later, there's no chance that Gary Verity, Christian Prudhomme and the fans lining the streets from Leeds to London will stay dry - just ask the people of Belfast.
Remember the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Boat Pageant on the Thames in 2012? Of course you can't - that's because there was so much rain and mist the global TV audiences couldn't see a thing, let alone the thousands of boats in procession.
In a two-horse race Froome starts with a handicap
You can tell the Tour's approaching when the French press start to publish stories questioning the ethics of the Anglo-Saxon defending champion and his seemingly less-than-transparent team - not to mention the UCI itself. In terms of tactics - this is hardly a new thing. Let's just hope the ultimate results are very much different than when it involved parties from the other side of the Atlantic.
Anyway, all this finger pointing will clearly be piling the pressure on the slim shoulders of Christ Froome - even if Sky make a point to train in places where there's no WIFI.
From the actual racing aspect of last week's Criterium du Dauphine, spectators are in for a real treat when the Tour finally gets under way. Before his heavy fall, Froome looked in commanding form - although, tellingly, Alberto Contador was the only rider he could not shed.
With Contador displaying the form of old - Tinkoff-Saxo manager Bjarne Riis said this week that the Spaniard looks the "strongest I've seen him" - then it's hard to see anyone else posing a threat to Froome. We could be in for a ding-dong two-way battle for yellow.
Talansky curveball adds further excitement
Froome's crash and Contador's final stage miscalculation make have combined to provide Andrew Talansky with the ingredients for his Dauphine victory - but the young American still had to put everything together and cook up a storm.
Not only was the Garmin-Sharp rider strong in the mountains, he showed tactical acumen hitherto lacking in his armoury - and on this showing, Talansky could be the surprise package to give Movistar's Alejandro Valverde a run for his money in the battle for third place.
That, of course, is discounting Vincenzo Nibali, who still has time to turn things round ahead of his principal focus of the season. The Italian from Astana showed glimpses of the rider who won the Giro last year - but struggled to have any real bearing on the outcome of the Dauphine. Still, he was far more impressive than BMC's Tejay Van Garderen, who finished five minutes behind his compatriot Talansky.
More impressive was Jurgen van den Broeck - although how the Belgian will fare on the cobbles of northern France, or in the high mountains in a team built around sprinter Andre Greipel, is anyone's guess. Rui Costa has done what we've come to expect of him and won the Tour de Suisse, but the jury is still out on his ability to feature highly in a race as demanding as the Tour. Despite Chris 'Papi' Horner in support, Costa may be reduced to chasing stages wins for Lampre-Merida rather than featuring high on GC.
As for Joaquim Rodriguez, well, it's been a season to forget for the man who lost out to Costa in Florence. His principal focus will be on his home tour in Spain and so expect the Katusha man to be on stage hunting duties rather than mixing it with the big boys.
With no Barguil or Bouhanni, French hopes lie with Bardet, Pinot and Demare
It's perhaps not surprising that Giant-Shimano have chosen to structure their team around German speed kings Marcel Kittel and John Degenkolb - but it has denied the French public the chance to see the great hope Warren Barguil in action.
Still only 22, Barguil has been told to focus on riding for the GC in the Vuelta, the race where he made his professional debut with a two-stage salvo last autumn. His absence means youngsters Romain Bardet (Ag2R) and Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) will carry the torch for the French - a far cry from the days the locals cheered on Messrs Fignon and Hinault.
With Colombian Carlos Betancur seemingly experiencing something of a meltdown, experienced Ag2R pair Jean-Christophe Peraud and Christophe Riblon will be expected to raise their game, while Sylvain Chavanel will look to repay ASO for IAM's wildcard invitation with requisite lashings of panache.
No doubt shanked after his tilt at the Giro d'Italia podium, Europcar's Pierre Rolland will probably structure his race around stage wins rather than a top ten - and the race could well be the better for it.
In the sprints, a victory for diminutive debutant Bryan Coquard (Europcar) may be too much to hope for - but Arnaud Demare will look to notch his first Tour scalp now he's got the nod over FDJ team-mate Nacer Bouhanni, whose contract talks could well break down following the snub from Marc Madiot.
Kittel and Cavendish rivalry may be the best since Cipo and Abdou
From the outset we should be treated to something special on the flat stages as Mark Cavendish looks to take a maiden yellow jersey in the home town of his mother. In Harrogate, it'll be the man who denied him this - as well as three other stages, including Cav's habitual scalp on the Champs Elysees - last year, Marcel Kittel, who will probably prove his biggest rival.
As Cavendish enters a new phase of his career - one in which he can no longer genuinely claim to be the fastest man on two wheels - he will need to use all his experience, bravery and know-how if he wants to keep the more explosive Kittel at bay. The modern era has seen individual sprinters - Erik Zabel, Robbie McEwen, Cavendish - dominate the sport; this could be the rivalry by which both Kittel and Cavendish are best remembered for.
The mind games have already begun
"Sky can of course do whatever they can, but I strongly feel that it is a huge mistake if they do not have Wiggins," Bjarne Riis told Danish media over the weekend. Of course, who's to know if the Dane was bluffing - knowing full well, perhaps, that adding Wiggins to the pot will further destabilise the most fragile looking Sky squad in quite some time.
Quite awkwardly, Sky may actually be forced to pick Wiggins
Just days after Froome's grip on the Dauphine disappeared, Sky's fall continued when Sergio Henao broke his kneecap in a collision with a car while training ahead of the Tour de Suisse ITT on Friday. The injury has ruled the Colombian out of the Tour as well as the Vuelta. Having missed the first half of the season due to questions about his blood levels, Henao is not wrong in his assertion that it's been "a year to forget".
With Peter Kennaugh later abandoning the race through illness, there remains the slim possibility that Bradley Wiggins will be asked to fill the void at Sky - in spite of his own fitness concerns and his hasty announcement with the BBC a fortnight ago, in which the 2012 Tour winner effectively confirmed his non-selection. Wouldn't it be something if we saw Wiggo after all...
It's the UCI's word against the JDD
On Sunday, French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche continued its expose over Froome's controversial therapeutic use exemption (TUE) in the Tour of Romandie earlier in the season. The paper claimed that there is no special committee of experts at the UCI - as specified in WADA's guidelines on TUEs - just one certain trigger-happy Dr Mario Zorzoli.
To summarise, it's turned into a battle of who's telling the truth - the UCI or JDD. The UCI says they already have such a committee, but JDD says they don't. The question now if whether the UCI will name their committee or if, as many suspect, they'll have to hastily create one and back-date it.
Some are saying that there's already a special medical commission in place - but not one solely dedicated to TUEs. If that's the case then we have a grey area, with neither side emerging from the bout entirely 'victorious'. Expect this one to rumble on.
The biggest concern is how Froome's TUE got leaked
Let's get a one thing straight: by procuring a TUE Froome didn't dope to win the Tour of Romandie. His illness was deemed acute enough to need a TUE - in this case, a corticosteroid - to compete; but he took the medicine to get well, not to give him the edge over his rivals. Sure, it's one hell of a grey area that will be addressed in the next section, but anyone who says this is evidence of Sky and the UCI doping a protected rider to win a race has clearly lost their marbles.
The truth is that we shouldn't even be discussing this because TUEs should be confidential. That we are discussing it suggests that some people believe that riders and teams are exploiting the system. But the bottom line is that there are rules - and Sky have followed those rules. It goes without saying that none of us mere mortals would want our private health issues made public - and the disclosure of Froome's TUE is a violation of a person's just right to confidentiality.
Sky should not be requesting TUEs in the first place
Dave Brailsford's team have always prided themselves on being stringently anti-doping - to the extent that they once went down the road of not seeking TUEs for riders in competition. While a Sky spokesman reiterated this week that "it was safe for Chris to ride at Romandie and he was given the appropriate treatment," the fact remains that, really, if you need a TUE to get over an illness, you shouldn't really be riding competitively in the first place.
It's the whole Tramadol argument all over again: by dulling your senses with an industrial painkiller, you are effectively enhancing your performance while putting you and your fellow riders at greater risk. Why do it?
We all know that the journalist David Walsh gave Sky a clear bill of health in 2013 when he was embedded within the team. His book, Inside Team Sky, stressed his views that there was no doping culture within the Sky set-up. To many, however, his book read very much like a press release on Sky-embossed paper.
This time round, you get the sense that Walsh feels personally let down by the emergence of the story of Froome's TUE - especially with it coming so soon after the public use of the inhaler that apparently was not once mentioned to Walsh during the research of his biography on Froome, The Climb.
Sky "talk the talk of high ethical standards but do not walk the walk," Walsh wrote in his column in the Sunday Times. "Team Sky like to portray themselves as the most ethical team in the peloton. The evidence says otherwise," he concluded.
Walsh's point is clear: given Sky's raison-etre and purported stance, requesting a TUE for such a high-profile rider should be out of the question.
