12 displaced in three-alarm blaze on Manchester's Green Street
Fire Chief James Burkush, who suffered a cut to his hand, said Tuesday night that firefighters were trying to keep the blaze from spreading to nearby buildings more than two hours after it was reported shortly after 10 p.m.
Firefighters battled the blaze for about four hours and at one point had eight trucks - five elevated and three ground master streams - pouring water on flames at a rate of more than 500 gallons a minute. Initially, emergency workers received reports someone was trapped inside, sending firefighters into the smoky building searching for the resident. No one was located.
The fire appeared to have been contained by about 11 p.m., but a second wave of heavy smoke and fire hit the third floor, prompting ladder trucks to move in a second time.
Burkush said the fire did not rekindle.
"No, it was never out," he said.
Burkush said at 11:30 p.m. that he was the only person injured in the fire, "that I know of."
Rafael Cruz said he'd gone out to a store to buy some milk and, when he came back, saw smoke billowing from his apartment, as well as from the first floor and the basement. He said he got his family, including children 2 and 7, out and went back to warn neighbors.
He said he left the building when flames and smoke got stronger and he saw police and firefighters arrive.
"The flames were too much," he said. "I'm still choking, but I'm all right. I'm alive."
Cruz said he moved into the building in November and does not have renter's insurance. He said he has lost everything except a couple of his kids' coats and a blanket.
"I didn't have time to get clothes and other stuff," he said.

I used to like you alot back in Junior High. You were my biggest crush. And then 5 years later you finally noticed me. I changed alot. We started hanging out at your house just to watch tv together. Eventually you asked me if I could ever date you and I said yes. And then you took advantage of me. You said you loved me too fast and I wasn't ready. But the words were so sweet to my ears that I gave in and gave you the last piece of me. And it ruined everything. Back in junior high, I thought you were nice. I thought you were sweet. I liked you. But pieces of your past have turned you into nothing but an empty sheet. I tried so hard to find your heart, but all I found was a cold frozen chunk of lonliness. I wanted to fix you. I wanted to take away your pain and replace it with true happiness with me. But no matter how hard I tried… you just turned away. If you would have let me in, maybe I wouldn't have left. But I can't stay. So I'm gone </3 no matter how much it hurts, I can't have you.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A small Bluefield charity intended to benefit Vietnam veterans spent just a fraction last year on veterans.
Instead, the West Virginia Vietnam Veterans Foundation devoted most of its dollars to professional fees and fundraising.
The Charleston Daily Mail (http://bit.ly/1hWw6r1) reports that of every dollar spent last year by the foundation, a little more than a penny actually went to veterans-related activities. The spending totaled $37,700.
National charity watchdog group Charity Navigator says no more than 25 percent of total expenses should be for fundraising and administrative costs combined.
Representatives of the foundation founded in 1997 defended its operations, arguing that many organizations give large percentages of the money they receive to professional solicitors.

(Goodbye House Hello Home)
The ceilings are 9 feet, and therefore the rooms were large enough to handle the bold color.
The room was painted with "Lady Bug", Sherwin Williams. It took 5 coats, including primer. Ugh!
I also sewed the slipcover for the love seat out of brushed cotton duck.
I found the chandelier for $10 at a garage sale. I it painted black.
Then I spent $5 at a garage sale on the antique mirror frame. It was painted and a mirror added.
Our wonderful garage sale hutch.
It was pine, custom-made, and I loved the curves.
This was primed, then a coat of Laura Ashley Cowslip 3 yellow was added.
The chairs are Lyre-back, English. Another find - $10 garage sale chairs.
I found the prints at Good Will for $2.99 each and
they must have been meant for our home, because they each had
the flowers of the month for each of our birthdays!
I added molding to the walls around the room, too.
Every single piece of silver or ironstone came from a garage sale or Good Will.

Dan Armstrong has over 450 publications, including twenty-two book chapters, one book ("Use of Ordered Media in Chemical Separations") and eleven patents. He has been named by the Scientific Citation Index as one of the world's most highly cited scientists, and he has given over 420 invited seminars and colloquia worldwide.
Daniel Armstrong is considered the "Father" of micelle and cyclodextrin-based separations, he elucidated the first chiral recognition mechanism by cyclodextrins, he was the first to develop macrocyclic antibiotics as chiral selectors, and he is one of the world's leading authorities on the theory, mechanism, and use of enantioselective molecular interactions. Over 30 different LC and GC columns that were originally developed in his laboratories have been commercialized and/or copied worldwide. His work and columns were in part responsible for the chromatography and electrophoresis-lead revolution in chiral separations over the last two and one half decades.
Currently, the columns, chiral selectors and techniques he developed dominate the world of analytical enantiomeric separations. Recently, he developed the first high efficiency CE separation approach for microorganisms (i.e., bacterial, viruses, fungi, etc.). This will extend the realm of separation science into the mainstream of biology and colloid science.
He also has developed the most effective way to characterize the solvent properties of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). This has proven to be an essential and effective way to explain the effect of RTILs on organic reactions, and in various analytical methodologies.
Surfactant aggregation to form normal micelles in RTILs was demonstrated. The first MALDI-MS matrices and high stability GC stationary phases were also developed. Most recently, chiral RTILs have been shown to produce enantiomeric excesses from racemates and prochiral molecules via solvation effects. These solvation effects also change the luminescence behavior of chiral molecules.

The Truth About ACORN
The Truth About ACORN's Voter Registration Drive... Election Day is less than a month away, and our efforts to make sure that low-income and minority voters have a voice and vote on November 4th are in full swing. Unfortunately, just as we've seen in previous election cycles, the more success we have in empowering these voters, the more attacks we have to fend off from partisan forces making unfounded accusations to disparage our work and help maintain the status quo of an unbalanced electorate. We want to take this opportunity to separate the facts of our successes from the falsehoods of our attackers. … [Read more...]

After all, the Democrats, since they acquired majority status in the Congress, delivered funding for George Bush's wars several times. They authorized retroactive immunity for telecoms that helped Bush's Administration illegally spy on us. And they never really considered any alternatives to the basic bailout wish list given to them by Bush and his Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson. … [Read more...]

There is a certain ambivalence which is easy to feel, when it comes to the highways of our country. On the one hand, it is completely understandable that there do need to be some limits to the speed you can be traveling, even when you are on a long and straight stretch of road. But on the other hand, there is the sense of freedom that the open road is supposed to give you, which is hindered greatly when you can not simply yank out the throttle and floor the pedal to see what your vehicle is truly capable of.
There is nothing quite like the rush of staring death in the face, and then flipping him off with your foot trying its hardest to touch the ground and your speedometer all but sweating under the intense heat of the engine. When you are really booking down the highway, you are living the less sedate side of the American Dream and you know it. Bonus points if you are on a Harley and you are somehow smoking a cigar, just to complete the "I spit on your laws" persona. But then again, there has got to be some restraint, because speed kills.
If there were no laws, any impulse would be immediately gratified… and the world would have a population of about a hundred people. In order to have highways that don't look like funeral pyres, we have got to have speed limits. And as painful and restrictive as it is, we have also got to follow those speed limits. If we do not follow them, the penalty for a lot of innocent people is going to be a very quick and absolutely brutal death.

Riverside Truck Accident Punitive Damages Lawyer
Punitive Damages are a legal tool created to prevent people and companies from doing bad things. They act as a penalty and a deterrent. In some situations, an injured party is entitled to receive punitive damages from a party who has injured them. In California, punitive damages can be awarded in cases where the defendant is found guilty of oppression fraud or malice. This often occurs where the injury was caused intentionally or when the defendant knew that his or her actions were likely to cause injury.
Riverside Punitive Damage Lawyer — Drunk Truck Drivers
In a 1979 California Supreme Court case, the Court addressed drunk driving and the award of punitive damages, or exemplary damages. In Taylor v. Superior Court, 24 Cal. 3d 290, 157 Cal. Rptr. 693, the Taylor Court stated:
"We concur … that a conscious disregard of the safety of others may constitute malice within the meaning of section 3294 of the Civil Code. In order to justify an award of punitive damages on this basis, the plaintiff must establish that the defendant was aware of the probable dangerous consequences of his conduct, and that he wilfully and deliberately failed to avoid those consequences." Id. at 895-6.
- When can punitive damages be awarded in a Riverside Truck Accident case?
- When proving my case in court, can I show evidence that the defendant profited by hurting me?
- Do any recent cases change California Punitive Damages law in truck accident cases?
Generally, when the defendant has oppressed or defrauded the victim or acted with malice, punitive damages may be recovered. This does not apply in California Breach of Contract actions. This section also defines "Malice," "Fraud," and "Oppression." Concerning California truck accidents, most punitive damages cases will concern malice. While normally, the use of the word malice means that someone intends to hurt someone else, legally, it can also mean that someone acted in a way that they knew or should have known could hurt someone else. For example, driving 120 miles per hour in the snow in an 18 wheeler could be malicious even if the driver was trying to be very safe. Similarly, a trucking company could be acting with malice by asking a driver to drive for 4 days straight without sleep. This action could easily lead to an accident even though no one intends for anyone to get hurt.
Statute Text:
(a) In an action for the breach of an obligation not arising from contract, where it is proven by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has been guilty of oppression, fraud, or malice, the plaintiff, in addition to the actual damages, may recover damages for the sake of example and by way of punishing the defendant.
(b) An employer shall not be liable for damages pursuant to subdivision (a), based upon acts of an employee of the employer, unless the employer had advance knowledge of the unfitness of the employee and employed him or her with a conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others or authorized or ratified the wrongful conduct for which the damages are awarded or was personally guilty of oppression, fraud, or malice. With respect to a corporate employer, the advance knowledge and conscious disregard, authorization, ratification or act of oppression, fraud, or malice must be on the part of an officer, director, or managing agent of the corporation.
(c) As used in this section, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) "Malice" means conduct which is intended by the defendant to cause injury to the plaintiff or despicable conduct which is carried on by the defendant with a willful and conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others.
(2) "Oppression" means despicable conduct that subjects a person to cruel and unjust hardship in conscious disregard of that person's rights.
(3) "Fraud" means an intentional misrepresentation, deceit, or concealment of a material fact known to the defendant with the intention on the part of the defendant of thereby depriving a person of property or legal rights or otherwise causing injury.
(d) Damages may be recovered pursuant to this section in an action pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 377.10) of Title 3 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure based upon a death which resulted from a homicide for which the defendant has been convicted of a felony, whether or not the decedent died instantly or survived the fatal injury for some period of time. The procedures for joinder and consolidation contained in Section 377.62 of the Code of Civil Procedure shall apply to prevent multiple recoveries of punitive or exemplary damages based upon the same wrongful act.
(e) The amendments to this section made by Chapter 1498 of the Statutes of 1987 apply to all actions in which the initial trial has not commenced prior to January 1, 1988.
A court can prevent the victim from showing evidence that the defendant has profited by hurting the victim until the victim first proves that the defendant caused the damages and acted in a Malicious, Oppressive, or Fraudulent manner. For a Riverside truck accident case, this means that you can't show that a trucking company profited from having its drivers work unreasonable hours until you prove that the company knew that working those long hours could cause injury.
Statute Text:
(a) The court may, for good cause, grant any defendant a protective order requiring the plaintiff to produce evidence of a prima facie case of liability for damages pursuant to Section 3294, prior to the introduction of evidence of:
(1) The profits the defendant has gained by virtue of the wrongful course of conduct of the nature and type shown by the evidence.
(2) The financial condition of the defendant.
(b) Nothing in this section shall prohibit the introduction of prima facie evidence to establish a case for damages pursuant to Section 3294.
(c) No pretrial discovery by the plaintiff shall be permitted with respect to the evidence referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a) unless the court enters an order permitting such discovery pursuant to this subdivision. However, the plaintiff may subpoena documents or witnesses to be available at the trial for the purpose of establishing the profits or financial condition referred to in subdivision (a), and the defendant may be required to identify documents in the defendant's possession which are relevant and admissible for that purpose and the witnesses employed by or related to the defendant who would be most competent to testify to those facts. Upon motion by the plaintiff supported by appropriate affidavits and after a hearing, if the court deems a hearing to be necessary, the court may at any time enter an order permitting the discovery otherwise prohibited by this subdivision if the court finds, on the basis of the supporting and opposing affidavits presented, that the plaintiff has established that there is a substantial probability that the plaintiff will prevail on the claim pursuant to Section 3294. Such order shall not be considered to be a determination on the merits of the claim or any defense thereto and shall not be given in evidence or referred to at the trial.
(d) The court shall, on application of any defendant, preclude the admission of evidence of that defendant's profits or financial condition until after the trier of fact returns a verdict for plaintiff awarding actual damages and finds that a defendant is guilty of malice, oppression, or fraud in accordance with Section 3294. Evidence of profit and financial condition shall be admissible only as to the defendant or defendants found to be liable to the plaintiff and to be guilty of malice, oppression, or fraud. Evidence of profit and financial condition shall be presented to the same trier of fact that found for the plaintiff and found one or more defendants guilty of malice, oppression, or fraud. (e) No claim for exemplary damages shall state an amount or amounts.
(f) The amendments to this section made by Senate Bill No. 241 of the 1987-88 Regular Session apply to all actions in which the initial trial has not commenced prior to January 1, 1988.
California Supreme Court Cases
In two rulings issued in 2005, the California Supreme Court interpreted the U.S. Supreme Court guidance from State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance vs. Campbell, 538 U.S. 408 on punitive damages.
The two holdings stand for the proposition that:
1. Courts could consider the defendant's conduct towards people other than the plaintiff, so long as the conduct was similar. However, the Supreme Court rejected the belief that punitive damages should include a disgorgement of all profits from similar misconduct directed towards others. (Johnson v. Ford Motor Co.,35 Cal.4th 1191, 113 P.3d 82, Cal.,2005.;
2. In calculating the proper ratio between punitive and compensatory damages, Courts could consider "uncompensated" or "potential" harm to the plaintiff (in addition to compensated harm) but only if the uncompensated harm was caused by the defendant's actionable conduct. (Simon v. San Paolo U.S. Holding Co., Inc., 2005 WL 2981973 (Cal.App. 2 Dist. Nov 08, 2005) (NO. B121917), unpublished / non-citable (Nov 08, 2005), rehearing denied (Dec 01, 2005), review denied (Jan 25, 2006)
The most important point to be taken from these cases is that a defendant often does the action that hurts you; it increases the chances of you receiving punitive damages. For example, if a trucking company repeatedly sends all of its drivers across country with no sleep-break; it would increase the likelihood of punitive damages.

From my point of view, those areas of concern carry the names of Todd White, Bryan Little, Colby Armstrong, Christoph Schubert and Mark Popovic…some would even suggest Ron Hainsey as well. And I think it's time one or two of them was shown the way to the buffet counter in the press box for a while.
After 27 games played, White has accrued a grand total of 3 goals and 9 assists. He also carries with him the distinction of having the team's lowest plus\minus rating…a very un-good –9. The closest to him is the –4 that belong to Pops, Slava Kozlov and Jim Slater.
At this time last season, Whitey had 7 goals and 14 assists.
Todd last scored a goal way back on October 29 during the 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals. To be fair, however, all 9 of his assists have come during and since that game. But White's current rate of scoring has him on pace for 9 goals and 27 assists…a stat that, if realized, would be one point less than his forgettable first year with the Thrashers two seasons ago.
Coming off his career year last season of 22 goals and 51 assists, many of us thought he would certainly see somewhat of a production reduction. After all, there is a reason they call it a "career" year…but to be this much off? Yikes!
Honestly, I don't think many thought we would see the return of the 2007-08 Todd White.
Offensive stats aside, White has not played well in the defensive side of the ice either…again playing the soft style of game that has earned him the nickname Charmin by some in these parts.
But White certainly isn't alone in having a down year so far as the man playing off to his right on most nights isn't exactly lighting it up either. Bryan Little had a remarkable breakout season in 2008-09, netting 31 goals and 51 overall points…but so far this season he has the exact same 3 goals and 9 assists White has…although Bryan is a +1 for the year.
Who most deserves a seat in the press box?
Total Voters: 114
Little's first two goals came way of a deflection off his skate…thank you Rich Peverley…and a nicking of his stick by the puck on it's way into the goal via a blast from Toby Enstrom. Since that time, however, he went twelve games without a goal…finally hitting twine during Monday's 5-2 loss in Toronto. In the last month of play, Little has that one goal, 3 assists and is a –4. Two of those helpers came during the 6-4 comeback win in Carolina.
Tell me the truth now… if someone would have told you two months ago that the Thrashers would have a winning record at this time, holding a playoff spot even…while at the same time Little and White had a combined 6 goals and 18 assists between them… wouldn't you have looked at them like they were from Mars?
I would have.
Then there is Colby Armstrong…he of 3 goals and 7 overall points in 26 games played. Not even playing alongside of Rich Peverley, (10 goals, 16 assists & +4) and rookie sensation Evander Kane, (8 goals, 5 assists and +6) has seemed to rub off on him yet. In his last eleven games played, Army has all of one entire point and is a –6.
Colby's 28 penalty minutes are the most of any Thrasher not named Eric Boulton and Christoph Schubert…although 20 of those came during the Philly game a couple weeks back.
His overall stats give me reason to include him as a candidate to sit…but the toughness he brings to the game would give me pause to put him in the box over someone like a Todd White.
On defense…well, who you gonna single out on a blueline corps that surrenders an average of 34.5 shots on goal per game. And the fact of the matter is that that stat reflects an overall "team" defense…including forwards and the ability/inability to back check and move the puck out of the zone.
Regardless…with Boris Valabik back in the mix, it isn't too much of a stretch to think that somebody who has seen some minutes will be hanging out in the press box some time soon.
Could that person be Christoph Schubert…who has played in 25 games and is a –3 with a goals and three points. Maybe, but I don't think he's played poorly and I really like that 6'-3" 230 pound mass out there for us.
Mark Popovic, while not playing terribly overall, has done little to impress me of late. He's a –4 in 17 games played and has helped out on the attacking side with a pair of goals and an assist. He was a –3 in Toronto…has been a –5 in his last six games played and a –7 in his last 13 games dating back to October 22nd's 5-4 loss to the Caps.
As indicated above, some would insist that Hainsey should lose some ice time. He's played in 25 games thus far and is a -2, contributing 2 goals and 4 assists. Most recently he is EVEN in the last seven games played with no points…-5 with a goal and 4 assists in the 12 games before that.
Ron Hainsey isn't going to blind anyone with flashes of brilliance, mind you…but I don't think he's the one to be sitting right now. If given a choice between the three defensemen…I'd sit Pops and give Boris a chance to see if he's mastered the backward skating skills needed to play at this level.
However…considering all the options I've provided to sit either Todd White, Bryan Little, Colby Armstrong, Mark Popovic, Ron Hainsey or Christoph Schubert…I would opt for a "White out" scenario in Philips.
With that…I'd place Slater into the fourth line center position and move Reasoner to the second line between Kozlov and Little. I could see an argument made to place him between Kane and Armstrong, moving Peverley up to the second line…but I just like the chemistry that's developing between Evander and the Pevs Dispenser.
Maybe Kane and Peverley could move up with Little…leaving Kozzy and Reasoner to line up with Army? That third line might not score much, but it might not get scored on too often either and maybe Little would benefit from the wheels attached to Kane and Peverley.

Now that we have that out of the way, I would consider giving Schubert some time at forward. He's played there before.
Several of the forwards you mentioned need a shakeup, it's a wonder we have done so well with so many players contributing so little. How about a call up? There has to be some players at Chicago knocking at the door. You can't move guys to the press box without having replacements.

What's up with the Thrashers web-site listing Boris V. at Left Wing?
Maybe White will be sitting and Big Boris can bring some toughness to the Forward Corps.
December 8th, 2009
9:08 pm
Sit White or Pops. Schubert shouldn't even be mentioned, as I think he's been one of our hardest working players thus far. Yes… he's taken some bad penalties, but his strong play overall is good for us.
December 8th, 2009
9:31 pm
The thing with Schubert is that he has been playing well on the PK. Without question, Popovic is the 6th d-man, but does anyone think Valabik is an upgrade defensively? I would prefer giving more ice time to Salmela.
Upfront, I would have sat White down a month ago. Either move Reasoner to 3rd and put Pevs on 2nd, or just bump Reasoner to 2nd.
December 8th, 2009
9:57 pm
Darn Rawhide, I was thinking this was about wearing white t-shirts while the Thrashers wore blue and the road team wore white, like that ill-fated "white-out" a couple of years ago.
If this were really about wearing a color, I would suggest Navy Blue. That way, everyone would blend in with the 8 empty seats around them. 301 might actually look sold out.
But in hockey terms, White has been less than impressive, but I'm leaning towards Hainsey. I think he has too much on his mind thinking ahead trying to make the USA squad as a d-man. Sitting him a couple of times might help him refocus a bit and get the Olympic thoughts out of his mind.
December 8th, 2009

Earlier Viv had a story that it was our strong goaltending that was the key to the "boys in blue" success this year. After my doubting OP was a #1 goalie he stole (outright larceny) a couple of games and played very solid in others. He kept us in games and gave us a chance to comeback. Through the first 20 games he had made a believer out of me. Since then, it seems he has come back to earth. Now, I'm starting to wonder when Kari will be back. Yeah,..call me fickle.
I'm also wondering if (well, sorta hoping) Moose gets the start in Cal-Gary tomorrow night.
Regarding some of our proven performers who haven't gotten going this year,..White has to be having the worst start. Before he may not have scored but was defensively responsible enough that his +/- wasn't too bad. Right now I gotta think White, Kozlov and Little should be getting 3rd line minutes, while Peverly, Kane, and Armstrong (maybe Little) should be going over the boards when Ilya's line comes off.
I used to think Armstrong was slow,..but in the LA game he was really pulling away from Dougherty in a race for the puck. Now I'm thinking he is much faster than he looks. Colby has a bit of agitator (a la Dan Snyder)in him,..and I like that. I've often wondered how he would fit on the 4th line.
Speaking of the the 4th line. WBF & Alan,…Schubert could definitely generate some energy as a forward on the 4th line. Question is who do you bump off? Maybe you bump Thorburn up to the 3rd. Right now I'm of the opinion this line is doing quite well as is,…I wouldn't change it. They are our best cylers of the puck in the O zone.
Ok guys lets bring see your A game tomorrow in Cal-Gary.
December 8th, 2009
10:21 pm
Hooky-I can't see sitting anybody currently on the 4th line. You bump up Thorny, at least you'd have somebody driving the net like a madman (that's Thorny). Like you, I like the idea of maybe moving Schubert to forward. But he also might not want to go up, since he's a defenseman by trade. That's how things went bad in Ottawa, moving back and forth. Tough call.
But you have to sit somebody soon, or these underachieving guys will start to think it's ok to float. Shake 'em up J.A.!

It's pretty awesome that the AJC employs a hockey blogger who doesn't know the difference between goalkeeping and goaltending.

I think R. John is right. The resulting slang is different. In Hockey he becomes a "goalie". In Soccer, he (or she) becomes a "keeper".
I was surprised that the only options discussed were sitting someone down. Hockey is very much a team sport and you need to find the right chemistry. In baseball, you sit someone down if the numbers are bad. In hockey, if you have good players who aren't producing, you shuffle the lines.

Like HB, I thought this was going to propose a white jersey night to replace the doomed Thursday Thirds…
White needs a new perspective, and a performance-related sit-down may be just the key. I have to (hope to) think Little is in the sophomore slump, but at least he's not as big a defensive liability.
Last comment – in Quebec, they call them "goalers".
December 9th, 2009
8:25 am
IMO, our biggest problem is effort, as seen clearly in two blowouts against teams with inferior skill (The Laffs and the Isles) but far better work ethic. So you send a message by sitting the ones who aren't working. In those two games, that would be the whole first line. Since that's not an option, you alternate games sitting White and Armstrong (perhaps with their upcoming free agency, they'll be adequately scared by sitting in the press box to put up some real effort) up front and Pops and Hainsey in the back.
Then there's the question of how many games you let the check-free first line continue together. The opposition formula is clear – put a hard-working strong fore-checking line against the Soviets and you'll leave the game with a plus rating (I'm still mad over that third goal against the Isles, where Kovy and Antro skated away from the pack handler like he had H1N1) (but not mad enough to call Antro a Russian)…
We appreciate you stirring the pot like this, Rawhide!

Schubert refers to the goalies as torhüter. I heard Kubina call them a brankář, but Toby corrected him that they are målvakts. But I think Kovy said it best when he called them the вратарь.

Well, if you plan to trade anyone, you might want to sit them out to see what you're left with… in the example of Todd White… it would be nice to see if you have chemistry with Pevs, Kane and Little before doing something drastic.
I think it's time for Schubert to get a rest… he was on the ice for two of the Leafs goals right in front of the net… that should never happen if you're the guy who's supposed to be clearing the crease.

Thrashers are on pace for 104 pts.
Perhaps lightning strikes twice at Casino Night, and Kovy signs his contract in front of the fans and the team gets another momentum boost for the final stretch.
… here's to wishing in one hand.

"I think he has too much on his mind thinking ahead trying to make the USA squad as a d-man."
Bogosian should be thinking more about it than Hainsey. Andy Strickland has Bogosian in his top 6 D for team USA. That would be cool if ZB does get the nod. Hainsey? No way.
Popovic was atrocious defensively Monday night, sit him, play Salmela.
One thing I've wondered about is how other teams might exploit Enstrom's size. I give major props to Toby for doing as well defensively as he has through good positioning and some smarts. But it seems the Buds may have hit on something, just keep two forwards around the net and let them out muscle our defensemen
December 9th, 2009
9:08 am
All the opposing team has to do is put their best defensive line against our first line and they are on the plus side of plus minus. Try startin another line besides the first line at the begining of the game, maybe the hustlin forth line at the begining. if we could get started hustlin, maybe even get a goal first(WOW) it might make the rest of the team put out a little more. Effort's gotta be there from everybody. Go Thrashers!

December 9th, 2009
9:17 am
Like five_hole, I too would like to see Salmela play more. I don't see Valabik as being a good fit for the kind of team the Thrashers are now.
White has been fairly inconsistent in his career. His 2 seasons in Minnesota weren't very impressive. I can't say it's a total shock to me that he has reverted back to his old, low scoring self. I also wouldn't be surprised if he has a season in 2010-11 like he did in 08-09, making people wonder whether the under 40 point a season or the 70+ point a season White is the real one.
Little has had reduced PP time which has hurt his stats somewhat, but he's also been scoring at a reduced rate since late last season. I don't know what to think, but I am accepting the possibility that last season may have been a big fluke and we'll be lucky if he ever scores even 20 goals in a season. Unfortunately I think that he may be our version of Patrick Eaves.
December 9th, 2009
9:30 am
I'm going to turn this glass upside down. I love the fact that we have 33 points. 33 with a LOT of room for improvement. Upgrades or just better play from the people you listed Rawhide would be a HUGE lift for this team. If we get just above average the rest of the season from them, think about what we could do??? Shake ups needed with Slava, Colby, White and a little more consistant tending this team could be in GREAT shape!
December 9th, 2009
9:31 am
R John really took time out of his busy morning to tell us that hockey fans cannot use the term "goalkeeping" because it belongs exclusively to soccer?
Really? I mean, really??
As for who should sit, I think it should be Todd White. He has been simply awful this season.
December 9th, 2009
10:03 am
I'm disagreeing re: Todd White. He's been playing o.k., though he's been both taking and giving way more hits lately and I think that affects his effectiveness. His line could use an enforcer. Also, I think it would be fine to sit him occasionally or concentrate him more on a particularly type of task. With his proficiency in damn near everything, he tends to be on the ice a lot. More than he really should be to avoid wearing down.
I also would prefer Salmela over Valabik, and I think Bryan Little is his own worst enemy. He needs a break, because he's evidently being hard on himself and affecting his performance.
Why not sit all of the strugglers a little, particularly those who are prone to breakdown (Reasoner, White), and bring someone in from Chicago to bump the lines from the bottom?
December 9th, 2009
10:42 am
Sit White and move Peverly up in between Kozlov and Little and watch that line take off.
Reasoner should center Kane and Army and Slater can center Thorburn and Boulton.
December 9th, 2009
11:38 am
I'm not ready to say the 2nd iteration of the Little White Russian line (with Kovy that is) is such a bad thing. Last season, and it started on the West Coast road trip, JA shuffled the deck and rolled out 17 – 12 – 10; 13 – 47 – 20; 11 – 19 – 49 as his top 3 lines. Starting with the AHM game, Todd White went on a tear with a 7-game points streak (and a +/- rating of +5) followed by a poor effort vs FLA and then a 9-game points streak (with a + 1). Over those 17 games, the Thrashers won 11 times and there were 7 instances in which White was the primary assist man on a Kovy goal or vice-versa. I'd say the line was pretty effective, and it was excellent as the primary PP unit, and didn't even fall off that much in the 3 or 4 games Kovy missed with a back strain.

Not sure Todd White will ever be better than he is right now. So the question is, is what he brings to the ice good enough for the present and long term? Player evaluation.
December 9th, 2009

"So the question is, is what he brings to the ice good enough for the present and long term?"
No, it is not good enough now or long term. Jettisoning him and replacing him with Peverly on the 2nd line is a no brainer, get it done.

Like many others, I too would like to see a Kane-Peverley-Little line combination. All can skate and all are OK defensively. Where ot put White is an enigma. He's not physical and doesn't add a whole lot of energy to any line. I agree, sit him. Schubert does hit and pushes people away from the net on the PK. Give Salmela more time than Popovic.
December 9th, 2009
1:40 pm
"Maybe Kane and Peverley could move up with Little…leaving Kozzy and Reasoner to line up with Army? That third line might not score much, but it might not get scored on too often either and maybe Little would benefit from the wheels attached to Kane and Peverley."
This is EXACTLY what I would do. I think Little's big problem (see what I did there?) is the company he keeps on the ice. I would love to see the three hardest working guys not named Boulton, Reasoner, and Thorburn on a line together. I think Slater and Marty can go on either the third or fourth line without any loss of productivity, but I would really like to see more productivity from Kozzy and Colby. That makes Reasoner my third line center.
December 9th, 2009

That's seems to be the common belief Bob.

Agree with White OUT! Personally, i like the play of Schubert, especially on the PK. Hainsey starting to remind me of Devries. Seems to float into the picture after a goal is scored.
December 9th, 2009
5:33 pm
Yep, out with Hainsey and White…maybe Army. I've never understood the hubub over Colby in the first place. I'm not sure what his +/- looks like this year, but unless he's +20, he's done nothing to earn his paycheck this year.
December 9th, 2009
6:02 pm
I'm going to disagree with much of this blog and the majority of comments. I'm not sure how fair it is to look at the season as a whole for individual players while not considering the trends over the past 5-10 games. This should be more of an indicator of who sits especially since there has been plenty of uninspiring play of late.
That said, the Little White Russian line has actually been trending in the right direction. Over the past 5 games they have been getting some of the best looks and chances of any line combination. White is there setting up Little and Kozlov only to be robbed by the opposing goalie. (Kozzie made Versus' plays of the week last night getting denied twice.) Over the past 10 games, the LWR line has a combined 14 points, -5, 6 PIMs, and 63 shots. They have 4 points and are a -4 over the last 5.
Compare that to the second line of Peverly, Kane, and Armstrong who are a combined 6 points, -9, 41 PIMs, and 55 shots over the past 10 games and 1 point and -8 over the last 5. They are getting shut down big time and if any forwards sit they should come from this line.
The top line is a respectable 25 points, +3, 35 PIMs, and 70 shots over the past 10 games and are un-good with 8 points and a -6 over the last 5. This is due to the irresponsible play of Captain Kovalchuk that many of us have been pointing out.
Let's compare some individual numbers over the past 5 games:
Kovalchuk 3 points -5, Antropov 2 points -1, Afinogenov 3 points -2
Kozlov 1 point -1, White 1 point -2, Little2 points -1
Kane 0 points -3, Peverly 1 point -2, Armstrong 0 points -3
The numbers do not bear out for sitting White especially since the line he centers is starting to click. I know it's sacrilege but the worst line over the past 5-10 games has clearly been the number two line of Kane, Pevs, and Army. The play of Kovalchuk has been horrible of late and I believe it is rubbing off on the team. He surely is not as fired up as the beginning of the season and when he came back from his foot injury. What are you going to do, sit the Super Star Captain? No, but sitting anyone from the second line makes more sense than sitting White. And over the past 10 games that clearly points to Armstrong and his team worst 0 goals, 1 assit, 1 point, -5, 22 PIMs, 16 shots.
Notice I did not mention the "best fourth line in the league". Clearly none of them deserve to sit as they are proving their title appropriate as over the past 10 they have 9 points, +10, 26 PIMs, and 29 shots. Something is clearly wrong with the Thrashers when the Energy Line leads the team on 5 on 5 play and is playing far better and more responsible than the second line.
I am not worried about the D-men's respectable individual numbers and pairings as I am team defense as a whole. Even over the past 10 games their numbers are decent. Tighten things up with the forwards in the Thrashers' zone and they will improve. Not sure that Hainsey belongs on this list as I see his role changing to a more stay at home blue liner allowing Bogosian to jump in the play more as he clearly leads all D-men in SOG over the past 10 games. They also have the best +/- for D pairings over the past 5 games when the team has not been at its best. Popovich has bad numbers but he has not gotten a lot of support lately and that was evident in the loss to Toronto. Still, Salmela should see some action in his place.
White gets a lot of bashing here and elsewhere. Some of it may be justified but sitting him now is not.

Correct me if I'm wrong,…but I remember Cal-Gary as a team that is very strong along the boards. There's no doubt in my mind that this will be a physical,…really physical,…game. Perhaps if we can keep the puck more in the middle it will work to our benefit.
With that in mind,…I'd say tonight is the night to sit White (start Slater),…move Kozlov to the 3rd line,…and watch Peverly, Kane & Cobly's cornerwork closely. Take some of the 3rd line minutes and give them to the 4th line. Maybe even move Thorburn, Bolts & Slater to the 3rd line slot for tonight.
What to do with Little? He works the boards well but lacks size to excel. Get him the puck in open ice
We need a strong physical game from our D-men. Kubina, Schubert, & Bogo need to bring their physical A-game tonight. I like Salmela over Popovic. If Valabik were to get a start this game would be my choice.
I wish Hainsey & Toby luck and good speed on covering rebounds. Seems to me we get blown out when the other team's forwards are much quicker to the rebounds than our guys. (It may be that when the rebounds bounce further out they lead to more goals.) So lets hope for some good rebound control / response tonight.
Who's in goal? My thoughts are to go with Hedberg,…not because of the Flames,…but OP has not been having his best games of late.
BTW: Did anyone see Pronger knock out Taveres' front tooth last night? I'll bet it isn't the 1st lost tooth that Pronger has been credited with. He may even lead the league.

Once upon a time the learner motorcycle world was only filled with two-strokes. And once your eyes had stopped running the only quality trailie was Yamaha's DT125. And it was madly expensive.

The Rieju RR50 has been around for a long time and it still has a basic, trials style appeal to many a 16 year old.
