OTTAWA – Lindy Ruff and assistant coaches James Patrick and Kevyn Adams had solid, lengthy NHL careers. They were not snipers, however. They combined for 313 goals in 2,511 games, which works out to a goal every eight outings or so.
That didn't stop Ruff from joking the trio might provide scoring punch to the struggling Buffalo Sabres.
Ruff, Patrick and Adams spent much of Monday's practice in First Niagara Center anchoring a power play. So after the extended workout, is the trio ready to play on the road against the Ottawa Senators tonight?
"We might have to," Ruff said.
There are plenty of "secondary scorers" who would be candidates to come out. Drew Stafford, Jochen Hecht and Nathan Gerbe are among the Sabres still looking for their first goal. Marcus Foligno, Steve Ott and Mihkail Grigorenko head another lengthy list of players who have only one.
"That's our biggest issue right now," Ott said. "Our second, third and fourth line have not produced at all."
The Sabres will enter Scotiabank Place having won just one of their last seven games. Though they've also been a mess defensively, the inability to complement the torrid scoring pace set by Thomas Vanek, Jason Pominville and Cody Hodgson is the main reason for their losing skid.
Buffalo needs more scorers, plain and simple.
"It needs to happen, and it needs to happen right now," Stafford said before flying to Canada's capital.
Ruff had a one-on-one chat with Stafford and showed video to other players. The message was about scoring and burying chances.
"If you look at some of the point-blank opportunities, I would shake my head," Ruff said. "I'm a little in disbelief."
He's not alone. Most of the Sabres have shown the ability to score in the past, but they're all in a drought. Of Buffalo's 27 goals, 18 have come from Vanek, Pominville and Hodgson.
"You do well and you lose games, it doesn't feel good," said Vanek, who was named the NHL's First Star of the Week for putting up five goals and 10 points in four games.
Advancements in technology have allowed coaches to chart and map out scoring areas. Ruff doesn't see his players getting there, particularly Stafford.
"You've got to get in that prime area, that little square area in front of the net," Ruff said. "You can't go by the net. You've got to stop around the net, and there's a few situations where the puck's gone to the net and he's watching and going wide where we've got to go inside.
"We have something special that we have a line that, as they say in Spanish, en fuego [on fire]. Everybody else would be jealous of that line right now. But now we don't have the secondary, so we're jealous of the secondary around the league."
The inability to stop opponents is another cause for concern.
The Sabres have allowed 18 goals in the last four games, including the final three Sunday as Florida rallied for a 4-3 victory.
"We have some things to clean up," defenseman Tyler Myers said. "A 3-1 lead, there's a way you have to play, and we gave up too much to let them get back in the game."
The Sabres likely will alter their defense tonight. They have recalled Adam Pardy from Rochester, though it's unclear who will come out of the lineup.
Pardy, acquired from Dallas over the summer and waived at the end of training camp, had one goal, three points and a plus-3 rating in five games with the Amerks.
The 6-foot-4, 226-pounder has played in 183 NHL games with Calgary and the Stars.
There's a chance defenseman Christian Ehrhoff could miss the game. Five players skipped Monday's optional practice – Pominville, Hodgson, Hecht, Ott and Ehrhoff – and Ruff said there are "a couple guys that are nicked up that may be doubtful."
Only Ott missed time Sunday, sitting for the final seven minutes.
Whoever plays needs to help the Vanek line at both end of the ice.
"We've got to start winning some games," Hecht said. "We can't rely on Thomas, Pommer and Cody scoring every night. We need all four lines to contribute.
"So far, it's only that line that's done the damage in the games. It's up to the other lines to come forward."

Rihanna's latest stop Friday: her native Barbados. "She's home," the singer's father Ronald Fenty tells PEOPLE of the singer, who was photographed at the island's international airport wearing a long, gauzy beige dress, white sunglasses and sandals. "She is in good spirits. And she sounds great."
She's not required to attend Brown's arraignment Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, where Brown, 19, is expected to enter a plea to two felony counts, and her camp is shooting down reports she's not cooperating with prosecutors. "She will do everything that the law requires her to do," her lawyer Donald Etra tells PEOPLE.
After reconciling in Miami in late February, the singers put their relationship on hold a few weeks ago. Today, "they are still taking a mutually decided-on break," a source tells PEOPLE. It's been more than two weeks since they were last together in L.A.
Ever since, Rihanna, 21, has never been far from paparazzi lenses. After being spotted house-hunting and clubbing in L.A., she was photographed earlier this week in Honolulu sporting a new textured, bed-head hairstyle and wearing a chic blue jacket. On Thursday she was in New York, casually dressed in jeans and sunglasses and smiling for cameras after having dinner with several friends at Italian eatery Da Silvano, where a source describes her as seeming "happy – classy, polite, beautiful." Rihanna headed to Barbados on Friday morning.
Brown Lying LowBrown, meanwhile, has been lying low in his home state of Virginia, "seeking counseling, reconnecting with family and focusing on writing and producing," says a source – and playing basketball. On March 31, Brown surprised students at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va., when he played several pick-up games with students in the gym.
Brown's visit coincided with White Ribbon Week, a campaign about men educating other men about domestic violence. A male campaign member passed out ribbons and buttons to other students as they watched Brown on the court.
Business administration senior Matthew Treacy, 21, was one of the students who played ball with Brown. "He was cool. He was fun. He could play a little bit. He had some skills," says Treacy. "He seemed like he was in a pretty jovial mood. I think he was trying to relax. I think he's in Virginia to get away from it all."

As Bernard A. Tolbert ramps up his Democratic primary election campaign for mayor of Buffalo, he touts an impressive résumé with titles such as senior vice president of security for the National Basketball Association.
But Tolbert's eight-year stint at NBA headquarters in Manhattan also spawns one of the few question marks hanging over his record – a pair of lawsuits hinging on an accusation that the league ignored repeated warnings that female employees were victims of sexual harassment and discrimination.
The candidate emphasizes he has never been personally accused of any inappropriate behavior, and he denies all such accusations.
But while chief of NBA security, he was named in a lawsuit for making demeaning comments about women and passing over a female employee for promotion that the league confidentially settled rather than fight – over Tolbert's strenuous objections.
Now the candidate faces a second lawsuit in which another former league security official alleges he was fired for defending the woman claiming discrimination. Still another suit by another former league security official – a woman – alleges that Tolbert did nothing to investigate an act of sexual harassment she says was initiated by Geno Auriemma, coach of the famed University of Connecticut women's basketball team, on a 2009 trip to Russia sponsored by USA Basketball in conjunction with the NBA.
The candidate is not named as a defendant in the third suit.
Tolbert, a 22-year veteran of the FBI who once headed its Buffalo office, said he has never acted in the way he is accused throughout a long professional and volunteer career.
"My mother would kill me," he said an interview with The Buffalo News. "If you look at my entire history as a social worker, with Cradle Beach Camp or with the FBI, you'll not find I said anything bad about women."
Nevertheless, the campaign of Mayor Byron W. Brown is expected to make the accusations a centerpiece of its re-election effort.
"Clearly, there is an issue with the way he treats women, and we're going to talk about it," Deputy Mayor Steven M. Casey said, alleging that Tolbert left the NBA in 2010 because of the situation – an accusation that Tolbert denies.
"It's the NBA; you don't leave that unless it's for a good reason,. There was a settlement, and that's a problem."
Randolph M. McLaughlin of the Manhattan law firm Newman & Ferrara, is leading the still-active lawsuit on behalf of Warren Glover, the former NBA security official who says he was fired after backing the woman who alleged harassment and after submitting a deposition on the woman's behalf in her suit against the league.
A former lieutenant commander in the New York Police Department, Glover joined the NBA in 2001 and worked for Tolbert. But McLaughlin said Glover ran afoul of the future mayoral candidate when he brought the concerns of Annette Smith – who initiated the now-settled suit – to Tolbert.
Smith, another employee of the league's security department, contended she was ordered to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for rookies that featured images of an obese woman on top of a man. She complained in her suit about such actions, as well as comments Tolbert allegedly made that included what she called inappropriate jokes. One example, she said, was a Tolbert joke in which he allegedly said women are needed in only two rooms of the house – the kitchen and the bedroom.
Tuesday, Tolbert denied ever making that remark.
"That's not the person I am," he said. "I challenge you to find someone who says I'm that kind of person."
Smith also said she was denied any chance for promotion.
McLaughlin explained the PowerPoint image was copied for a presentation to rookies on how to behave.
"One of the PowerPoint presentations was 'This is what happens when you get drunk – some big, fat woman will be on top of you semi-naked,' " he said. "This led Annette Smith to say, 'I can't take it anymore.' "
Now, McLaughlin said, Glover is paying the price for defending Smith and opposing a top league official.
"Mr. Glover has a great job, loves his job, comes out of the Police Department, and believes he's doing the right thing," McLaughlin said of his client. "He believes what he has seen is inappropriate and takes those concerns to Bernie Tolbert. But rather than bring it to Human Resources, Mr. Tolbert asks, 'Why are you bringing this to me?' "
He called the league office an "old-boys club" that fostered a "culture of misogyny" and a habit of "tolerating and sweeping under the rug" such instances as alleged in the suit.
"He was singled out, punished and ultimately fired," McLaughlin said of Glover. "It started with Bernie Tolbert's insensitivity to the plight of women in his shop."
In a Tuesday telephone interview from New York City with The News, Glover said Smith complained to him that she felt demeaned when asked to prepare the PowerPoint presentation, that she was upset and that he asked Tolbert not to show it.
"I told him I did not think it was appropriate to show that to any rookie players or any man or anyone," he said. "He said, 'I don't see a problem' and showed it."
Tolbert said Tuesday that he never thought anyone would be offended and that the picture was "facetious" and designed to drive home a point about personal behavior with "19- and 20-year-olds."
"I would never knowingly offend anyone," he said.
Glover said he never felt that he was "sticking up for" Smith in his deposition on her suit.
"I was called to testify in the deposition, and I did so honestly," he said. "It's not about sticking up for Annette Smith; it's about telling the truth."
Glover said that the situation got "tougher and tougher" for him at the NBA following his deposition, until he was finally fired.
"When he reported this up the chain of command," McLaughlin said, "he became persona non grata and a sacrificial lamb."
The attorney said he is discussing the litigation as the Buffalo mayoral campaign heats up because of the possibility Tolbert could someday be leading the state's second-largest city. "If that's the way he treats women in the office, and if he gets to run a vast administration, how sensitive will he be to women working in his office?" McLaughlin asked.
Tolbert, 65, emphasized that the Smith suit was settled with no admission of guilt or wrongdoing. He said he objected then and still objects to the settlement.
"Because it wasn't right," he said. "There was no wrongdoing. I was opposed because it might cause others to file frivolous lawsuits. In principle, it was wrong."
Tolbert said he understood that the litigation was settled at the recommendation of the league's insurance carriers. "I wasn't consulted," he said.
Tolbert acknowledges he now understands that Smith was "traumatized" by the images of the PowerPoint presentation but that it was never discussed at the time.
"Clearly, if she had said, 'Bernie, I don't like this; don't like that,' we would have discussed it," he said. "She never said she was traumatized by the picture."
The candidate also denied any suggestion that the lawsuits prompted his decision to leave his high-profile job with the NBA, calling his departure a "joint decision."
"My original plan was to stay five years and then call it a day," he said. "I stayed over eight years."

A tractor trailer jack knifed and caught fire early Saturday morning under Bartle Hall on the downtown loop, causing crews to shut down the highway.
The fire created a huge plume of smoke, which could be seen for miles. A lot of smoke also got inside Bartle Hall, so much smoke that the Kansas City fire department was using its air boats with large fans to help clear the smoke out of the building.
The accident happened just before 7 a.m. No injuries were reported.
The highway under Bartle Hall was closed for a period of time while crews worked to extinguish the fire. Much of the highway had reopened by 9 a.m.
The Kansas City fire department chief said his crews did not believe the fire damaged the structural integrity of Bartle Hall, but city engineers were going to check the building out later today just to make sure.

See highlights from Andrew Skurka's 4,720-mile (7,596-kilometer) skiing, hiking, and rafting expedition through eight national parks, over two major mountain ranges, and down some of North America's wildest rivers.
Welcome to Kotzebue
In mid-March Andrew Skurka started his trip in Kotzebue, Alaska, the largest town in northwest Alaska, population 2,000. Located 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of the Arctic Circle, it was still winter when he arrived. The temperature was -25F when he skied out of town.
Arctic Coast
To say that Skurka was intimated by the Arctic Coast would be a mild understatement. There are few natural wind breaks, there are no trees for fire, and the weather is brutally harsh.
Front Street, Kotzebue
Sea ice extends miles off of Kotzebue's coast, rendering their boats and barges useless.
Tripod Flats Cabin
There are a few cabins along the network of snowmachine routes Skurka followed to reach the Alaska Range from his starting point in Kotzebue. Here Tripod Flats had a morning temperature of -10F, so Skurka cranked up the stove and stood in the sunlight to wait for it to warm up.
Iditarod Race Cabins

Skurka was excited to find these checkpoint huts along a remote stretch of the Iditarod Trail. The temperature plummeted once the sun went down, due to the clear sky. The nighttime low was -20 degrees Fahrenheit, which is mild compared to the -50 degrees Fahrenheit that this checkpoint has seen during the race.
Sulatna River Bridge
Photograph by Andrew Skurka
The most remote section of the Iditarod Trail is between the villages of Takotna and Ruby, in between which there are some mining ghost towns. One of those towns, Poorman, which had its heyday in 1911, was accessible via a road out of Ruby, and this was the bridge over the Sulatna River.
Straightaway Glacier

Glaciers pour off of Mount McKinley and Mount Foraker, the highest peaks in the Alaska Range. This is the terminal moraine of one such glacier, Straightaway.
Afternoon Break
Photograph by Andrew Skurka
On many days Skurka would take just one long break, for about an hour in the early-afternoon. This was an opportunity for to dry his feet and gear, to make notes on his maps, and to take a cat nap to re-energize for another long push to camp.
Skiing the Denali Fault

In mid-May, Skurka exchanged his skis for his running shoes and packraft, just in time to follow a classic route through Wrangell-St. Elias National Park from Nebesna to McCarthy.
Controller Bay, Alaska

This was taken near the start of the Lost Coast section, which got even more spectacular as Skurka traveled south toward Glacier Bay National Park.

Skurka had food and supplies shipped to various Post Offices along his route, rather than trying to buy these items locally, which is expensive and time-consuming (and often impossible in small-town Alaska). Skurka recalled that receiving new shipment was empowering: "When I picked up a shipment with fresh maps and full food bags, I was prepared to go places."
Grand Plateau Glacier Outlet, Alaska's Lost Coas
Photograph by Andrew Skurka
A tremendous amount of icemelt from Grand Plateau Glacier cascades 150 feet vertical feet (46 meters) in just a half mile (less than a kilometer), resulting in terrifying rapids, like these just above the beach. The safest way across the river is to go upstream to the terminal lake, paddle across the lake in a packraft, and descend back down to the beach.
Richardson Highway
Photograph by Andrew Skurka
Skurka's route included a few roadwalks where there was not a "practical" wilderness route, about 200 miles (322 kilometers) total. One such roadwalk was along the scenic Richardson Highway, which slices through the Alaska Range along the Delta River. Any wilderness route parallel to the highway would have involved technical glacier travel, which he was unequipped to do.
Miles Lake, Copper River
Photograph by Andrew Skurka
The calving face of Miles Glacier drops icebergs into Miles Lake, which was scoured out by the glacier not too long ago and which the Copper River flows through on its way to the Gulf of Alaska. National Geographic photographer Michael Brown and photo assistant Roman Dial couldn't resist the temptation to get close to one of the giants that has beached itself on the shallow lake floor.
Predator and Prey
Photograph by Andrew Skurka
Skurka spotted tracks of caribou and wolf seen in the braids of the Yanert River, one of the major waterways in the Eastern Alaska Range, also known as the Hayes Range.

But there is another unpleasant (and embarrassing) complaint that frequently strikes pregnant women: Hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are painful, swollen veins located around the anus or in the lower rectum. Pregnant women are more susceptible to these uncomfortable little bulges, partly because the growing stress on a pregnant woman�s pelvic region forces veins in the rectal area to swell and dilate, leading to pain and discomfort. �Anywhere from 20 to 50 percent of pregnant women suffer from hemorrhoids,� says Dr. Paul Doghramji, MD, a board certified family physician at Collegeville Family Practice in Collegeville, PA. �But that doesn�t make them any less frustrating.� Thankfully, there�s no need to suffer in silence. With these simple strategies, you can alleviate and even prevent the onset of pesky, painful hemorrhoids. This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

Sentient Science Corp., a firm that develops sensors and software used to test materials and components in the aerospace, defense and energy industries, will invest $10.5 million and hire 86 employees in this region by 2016, company officials said Wednesday.
Sentient has moved its headquarters from Idaho to space in the University at Buffalo's Jacobs Executive Development Center in Buffalo, where it has 10 employees, and the company is looking at locations in Niagara Falls as part of its planned expansion here.
Sentient's move to this area, part of a broader effort to grow a materials sciences industry here, will be celebrated by lawmakers and members of the business community at a news conference this morning in the UB center.
Sentient has maintained its research and development facility in Idaho Falls but late last year moved into the former Butler mansion on Delaware Avenue at North Street. The move came after business groups and elected officials worked to connect Sentient with computer scientists and engineers at the university.
The company in 2000 began developing its testing technology, marketed under the DigitalClone brand, to take the place of the manual testing of materials and components used in the manufacture of helicopters, bridges, medical devices, wind turbines and other products.
The items are tested with simulators and sensors to determine how the materials used in their manufacture will behave under various scenarios, how they stand up to the stresses of use and how long before they have to be replaced.
Sentient's sensors and software can perform these tests in the virtual realm, saving its clients time and money.
Sentient has received $23 million in federal and state grants, including $982,000 from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to develop and put in place a system to test gear boxes in wind turbines.
The company also has received $811,534 in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits through the state Regional Economic Development Council here, with the promise of employing 86 workers locally by summer 2016.
Sentient is considering several options for its expansion into Niagara County, and the $10.5 million represents the value of its local investment once the company meets its employment target, company officials said.
Ward Thomas, Sentient's president and CEO, will be joined by Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown, Niagara Falls Mayor Paul A. Dyster and numerous state representatives and economic development officials for this morning's news conference, tour and scientific demonstration.

Sent off as the 1-to-5 favorite, Zenyatta completed 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.30 on the synthetic Cushion Track surface to improve to ten wins in as many starts.

Sono cambiato? Dimmelo; sei tu diversa? Parlami, sei sempre stata piccola, piccola: Io ti perdevo e mi sentivo vincente, ma non c'è¨ stato mai verso di cambiarti con niente come te; non ti ho venduto l'anima, lasciami in pace, lasciami come mi sento stupido, stupido: Voglio una storia d'amore più vera, una donna che mi parla e che mi aspetta la sera vattene, vattene Milady non lasciarmi mai, senza di te cosa farei, Milady cipria sotto gli occhi, Milady persa negli specchi; Milady non hai voce e canti, in un teatro a fari spenti, Milady bolla di sapone, e ballerina di balcone: Milady il tempo è un soldatino che scrive lettere a nessuno Milady non lasciarmi mai, ti voglio sempre come sei, Milady strada di Parigi, Natale con i tre re magi; Milady ho perso la tua spilia Milady, Dio ...

Delaware North Cos., the Buffalo-based hospitality and food-service giant with 55,000 employees on four continents, is preparing to transition to the next generation of leadership – a treacherous period for any family-owned business.
The company has been run by the Jacobs family since three brothers founded the company in 1915.
It has $2.6 billion in annual revenues from a sprawling portfolio that includes the Sportservice concessions operation, the Boston Bruins hockey team and management of numerous hotels, resorts and gaming facilities.
It ranks No. 172 on the Forbes list of largest privately held companies in the United States.
As Delaware North approaches its 100th anniversary, it is looking to its third generation of leadership, while bringing members of the fourth Jacobs generation into the firm. The family has pledged to keep the headquarters in Buffalo, but a new location in the city is being considered.
The company has weathered the recession, and the NHL lockout, and is seeking to grow into new international markets.
Four Delaware North executives – Chairman and CEO Jeremy M. Jacobs; his sons, Jerry Jr. and Louis M., principals with the company; and Charles E. Moran Jr., president and chief operating officer – sat down with The News for two wide-ranging interviews at their headquarters in the Key Center south tower in downtown Buffalo.
On being a family business:
Lou: We had bought a bunch of resorts in Australia, and we were reconciling with the seller. At one point, at a long table like this, we were going back and forth, and he looked at me and said to me – he was sort of indignant – he said, "You don't understand. I have to answer to public shareholders. You wouldn't know what that's like." I looked at him and said, "I have to answer to shareholders, but I have to do it across the table at Thanksgiving dinner."
On running a global corporation:
Jerry Jr.: It takes a lot of work. Lou and I spend a lot of time working on our relationship so that we can have a very productive relationship. It's very candid. There are no secrets. There's no agenda. We're very open to each other, and with our father. And that doesn't happen naturally.
In the natural course of a family relationship, there's going to be rivalries, there's going to be the father, the dominant figure. So that came with a very explicit approach to addressing that. And I think we've done it.
Weathering the recession:
Moran: You would think, frankly, that our business was much more susceptible to economic downturns because all of our businesses are discretionary spending. They're mostly entertainment-related. We still have a couple areas that haven't recovered from 2007, 2008.
For instance, the corporate-meeting business has still not come back to the levels it was before.... We do the Plaza Hotel, in a joint venture, and that hasn't come back.
But the rest of the business, when you look at per-capita spending in our ballparks, and our airport locations and in our parks and all that, those numbers have gone up. To some degree it's a cheap alternative to what people would be doing. In other words, they're not going to take the family on a full-week vacation because they can't afford it.
Were it not for the (NHL) lockout, we'd be having our third record year in a row.
Changing customer tastes:
Jeremy: I often tell people, what was the largest attended business in sports years ago? It was horse racing. More people went to horse racing than any other sport. Today it's non-existent, and you have to grow from that or you become nonexistent. The horse racing business got us into the gaming business. We wouldn't have done that if we hadn't been in that horse racing business.
Passing up the chance to run the Aqueduct casino:
Moran: We had a huge number of qualifiers that they never got around to looking at, to be candid with you. And in the final analysis, the company that did the deal, they put in no qualifications whatsoever about competition, about requirements from the state. They decided to take a risk and write a $375 million check. We would have never done it the way they did it.
Taking the company public:
Jeremy: There are two basic reasons for going public. One, you're looking for capital or, two, you're looking for an exit strategy. And neither one of those is an issue at this time, during my life. And I'm not saying the next generation may not make a change, because things evolve.
New generations of leadership:
Jerry Jr.: First we've got to acknowledge it was different for my father, it's different for us, it'll be different for them.
Every time, as the family, as the ownership gets more broad, as the business gets larger, the dynamics that involve family involvement are going to change.
The question is, what is the line where it's the business of the family versus the business of the business? And how do you navigate that line? And on what grounds do family members become employed in the company, and what are the expectations of them and what are the ground rules as to how they conduct themselves? That all has to be worked out and sort of navigated at this point.
Buying the Bills:
Jerry Jr.: We tested that math so many times. (Also, NFL rules say Delaware North Cos. can't own the Bruins and the Bills at the same time.)
That said, we will do what we can to ensure that the Bills stay in this town.
Lou: We're certainly fans.
Jeremy: I might buy a horse because it's altruistic, and I like that personally, but when it comes to sports of this size, it's business.
(He pointed out that, in addition to the Bruins, his family has owned the Cincinnati Royals NBA team and the Buffalo Bisons hockey team.)
(The Bills) will go on the market. I don't see that in our future.
Jerry Jr.: That's my inheritance you're messing with. (Laughs)
Community involvement:
Jeremy: My dad never would take on that role. We chose to do it, and my family has chosen to continue that role. I think it's distinguished them. I think it's good business. It's good for you to have a healthy environment that you're working in. It's good that your clients, your customers, look at you in a way that they know that you're doing, quote-unquote, good things.
On Jeremy Jacobs' role:
Jerry Jr.: What he does is he pulls back, he watches what we do, if he doesn't like what we're doing, he steps in. He hasn't stepped in much lately. He'll never retire. He'll always be there. But he wants us to take more and more control.
Corporate longevity:
Lou: We're coming up on a 100-year anniversary and we've had two chief executives.
Knowing when to retire:
Jeremy: There's an old story with Connie Mack. I knew Connie Mack, but my dad knew him well. Connie was in his 90s and he was still running the Philadelphia [Athletics baseball] team and he said, 'You know, Louie?' He says, 'I think Roy' – and Roy was his son – 'I think he's really, I think he's finally gotten it put together. And I think he's going to make something of himself.' And my dad said, 'Roy was in his mid-60s.'
The company's future:
Jeremy: We'll probably need to be more of a world company. We are pretty much North American-centric now. We do have operations in Australia, and New Zealand and U.K., but it's a narrow base based on what we see with the world population, where it is.
We've got so many emerging markets. We've got to get more comfortable in India, South America. They bring a different set of opportunities and a different set of problems.
Jerry Jr.: We have grand ideas. We are pushing hard. We will grow. I could not tell you with any great precision where. But we will grow and we will be a much bigger company in the next decade.

It's only a rumor and not by anyone credible that I have seen so I post it here prefaced by that. But saw it in twitter that people think he will get traded by the habs, and was said we were front runners. Again it was just a retweet by a friend on twitter by an account I'm not farmiliar with.
Just curious what people's thoughts on here are about;
1. Subban himself
2. If we should go after him
3. What Montreal would take for him, assuming he won't come cheaply.
Account it was retweeted from is @NHLexpertpicks
Edit: typed off my phone if anyone can fix Subbab to subban would be appreciated haha

His coach Joel Quenneville said Toews was "unlikely" to participate in the NHL All-Star Game this weekend in Ottawa. TSN's Bob McKenzie reported on Monday night that Toews has been ruled out of the game.
Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews will miss Tuesday night's game against the Nashville Predators with a left arm injury, traced back to a slash from Florida defenseman Erik Gudbranson on Friday.
Alas, no defending his shot accuracy title in 2012, which he won in that controversial "do over" in Raleigh last year. (As controversial as a skills competition can get.)
Who replaces Toews? The warring factions of Team Scott Hartnell and Team James Neal are already preparing for their "Gangs of New York"-style brawl. (Team Loui Eriksson awaits word on Jamie Benn.)
Will the NHL follow suit as they did to Lidstrom and Datsyuk?

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
Durango seemed poised for a shot at a homecoming comeback.
But a key goal-line stand by Palisade upset those plans.
The Bulldogs stopped Tyler Worley a yard short of a first down as Durango High School was poised to make it a one-possession game, and Palisade ran out the clock on the DHS football team for a 28-13 victory Friday at DHS Stadium.
�They get their kids to play hard, and sometimes you�ve got to stand up to somebody that�s playing harder than you are at that moment,� DHS head coach Greg Wyatt said.
Palisade, ranked No. 2 in Class 3A by The Denver Post, answered Jeremy Szura�s 6-yard touchdown run that cut the lead to 21-13 in the fourth quarter with a seven-play, 61-yard drive capped by a 10-yard Dalton Hannigan touchdown run to push the lead back to 28-13 with 6 minutes, 13 seconds to play.
Thanks to a 51-yard pass from Szura to Garrett Marcum, Durango had the ball at the Palisade 10-yard line on the next drive, but the Bulldogs (5-0) stymied three Worley runs up the middle.
On fourth down, Szura hit Worley on the left sideline, but the Bulldogs tackled him just short of a first down that would�ve kept Durango�s hope alive.
Palisade then ran, ran and ran some more to run the last 3:46 off the clock.
Line play was key for Palisade. The Bulldogs ran for 354 yards while holding Durango to 117 on the ground, stuffing most of Durango�s attempts to run up the middle, an area DHS took control of in last week�s home win against Farmington.
�They did definitely control the line of scrimmage (Friday), and it�s tough to win when you can�t control the line of scrimmage,� Wyatt said.
�Maybe they�re better players (than Farmington). They�ve got a good system.�
Durango (2-3) flipped the field in the third quarter, starting two of its three drives from its own 40 or better. But DHS couldn�t move the ball against a stout Palisade defense.
�We finally were playing on their side of the field for awhile but just unable to come up with the points we needed,� Wyatt said. �We played the whole first half on our side of the field and kind of just always had our backs against the wall.
�When you fall down by two touchdowns, it�s tough against a good football team.�
Palisade led 21-7 at halftime on a 39-yard pass from Luke McLean to Easton Woods, a 23-yard screen pass from McLean to Hannigan and a McLean 3-yard run.
DHS got its first score on Szura�s 8-yard pass to Blake Dunlap, who returned from injury.
But other than Szura�s scoring pass to Dunlap and a 51-yarder to Marcum, the Demons didn�t have many passing highlights. Szura was 8 of 17 for 88 yards, plagued by several drops and a few underthrown balls.
Wyatt wasn�t pleased with the execution.
�The passing game was atrocious,� Wyatt said. �Bottom line. It�s got to improve if we�re going to win any football games.
�It allows them to play a lot freer and attack the run. It�s definitely a point of emphasis.�
Durango did get a boost from three turnovers. A fourth-quarter fumble led to Szura�s scoring run, while Casey Dunlap�s interception set up Szura-to-Blake Dunlap for a touchdown in the second quarter. Dane Mestas also had a second-quarter pick.
The Demons also made a nice defensive stand in the first quarter, stopping McLean for no gain on a fourth-and-4 from the Durango 5 with 7:21 left in the opening frame.
Worley led the way with 84 yards rushing on 26 carries for Durango. (DHS players weren�t made available for postgame interviews.)
DHS will play Grand Junction at 7 p.m. Oct. 6., while Palisade set up a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown Thursday at home against Class 3A No. 1 Rifle.

Ever seen a bear falling out of a tree?
Neither had Andy Duann, who captured this shot of a tranquilized male floating down from a tree branch at the University of Colorado Boulder. Duann, a senior and photographer for student newspaper CU Independent, got a call Thursday morning from a friend who told him that the animal had been spotted near a cluster of residence halls.
"Without brushing my teeth, I pulled my pants on and ran all the way down five floors and across the school," he tells PEOPLE.
The approximately 200-lb. bear wandered through the Bear Creek apartment complex before climbing a tree.
"He rested on a branch and stayed there for about two hours," says Ryan Huff, a campus police spokesperson. "He was just hanging out in the tree."
Colorado Parks & Wildlife arrived to tranquilize the bear. Police used mats from the recreation center to help cushion the animal's landing.
"The bear landed on his back," Huff says, "in what seemed to be a perfect landing."
Snapping the events as they happened, Duann knew he had gotten at least one perfect shot. "I was so excited," he says. "I was late for class, but it was such a rush."
