"price prepares for 2008-2009 season" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-18 05:19:14

Robert L Note: Here is a interesting piece from the BCLocalNews com site on Carey Price's offseason so far. Price Prepares For 2008-2009 SeasonBy Sage Birchwater - Williams Lake Tribune. August 21. 2008 It’s a long ways from Anahim Lake and the Cariboo Chilcotin to Montreal and the great ice hockey palaces around North America.“There’s more people at a Montreal Canadiens home game than there is in the whole of Williams Lake,” says Carey Price who recalls how he looked up in awe at the stands in places like Madison Square Gardens the Bell Centre and Air Canada Centre when he first broke into the last year. After completing his first season in the as the Montreal Canadiens’ number 1 goaltender. Carey who celebrated his 21st birthday on Aug. 16 is back to work getting ready for the 2008-09 season. He took two well-deserved months off after the Habs were eliminated from Stanley Cup contention by the Philadelphia Flyers in the second round of the playoffs last May. He says taking a break and having some time off from hockey is as important as training. He went to Mexico for a week and out to Anahim Lake for a little bit and did a little fishing and rodeo.“I took a few trips down to Vernon. I’ve been team roping with Bobby Lewis. It’s fun.”Carey did some exhibition team roping at the Williams Lake Stampede and the Anahim Lake Stampede but now he’s bearing down to get back in shape for hockey. In mid July he headed off to Calgary to work with his personal trainer with National Sports Development.“I go in there every morning and work out. My goalie coach is there too. Eli Wilson. He’s the Ottawa goalie coach. After the workout we go and skate with him for two hours.”In Calgary. Carey has family and a home away from home because his cousin Keaton Ellerby the 10th overall draft pick of the Florida Panthers in 2007 lives there.“I skate with a whole bunch of other pros. Jason LaBarbera he’s from Prince George and plays for the Kings. Chris Mason was there. He plays with Nashville. Kevin Nastiuk he’s in the Carolina system. Jeff Glass he was the world junior goalie before me. He’s in the Ottawa system. Linden Rowat who plays for Regina was out there too.”Carey didn’t start skating until near the end of July.“You have to shake off the rust a little bit. The first three ice times I felt like I didn’t know what I was doing out there. You give it a week or two and you start to feel normal again.”Besides a personal trainer. Carey has a nutritionist telling him what kind of stuff he should and should not be eating.“During the summer I stay away from carbohydrates and try to stay away from pastas and bread especially white bread. I have a whole wheat bagel in the mornings before my workout.” Carey says he heard that U. S gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps consumes 12,000 calories a day during the Olympics. He says his nutritionist tells him to eat a lot of protein.“That’s what I like about Anahim Lake you can go fishing right in our back yard in Corkscrew Creek. Pull out a couple of trout and fry those up for dinner.”Carey says after a year in Montreal his French is getting better but he’s got a ways to go yet.“I picked up quite a bit but I’m not fluent in it yet.”He says he found a program on the computer that promises to make you fluent in six months.“I hang around with the younger French guys like Lapierre and Latendresse. Just being around them I just have to ask them questions like why do you say this as opposed to that. “Carey doesn’t hesitate when asked how he likes Montreal.“It’s a lot of fun. It’s definitely the best place to play when you’re playing hockey. The Montreal fans really get into it. As soon as we get to camp there’s a buzz around the city. Especially this year being the centennial year it should be a lot of fun.”He says no matter where they play it seems like half the crowd is cheering for Montreal. Reflecting on his season last year. Carey gives a bit of a summary.“I didn’t know if I was going to make the team at the start of camp. I had a good year the year before. I just came to camp hoping I’d make the team. Then Bob (Gainey) decided to keep me there. Then I went through a slump right around Christmas. Things weren’t going too well so I went down to Hamilton. I was still struggling a little bit for two weeks. Then during the second half of my month-long stint in Hamilton it started to pick up again. They brought me back to Montreal and everything started to roll from there and things started going really well. Then they traded Chris (Huet) to Washington and it was like getting tossed into the fire.”He says he was a little nervous at the start being handed the number one goaltending duties for the’s most storied team.“When the trade deadline came and passed everybody kind of relaxed a little bit. We all knew this was our team for the rest of the year. It took all the pressure off and we started to play really well. We went on a pretty good roll there from the trade deadline to the end of the year.”He says they went into the playoffs feeling pretty good playing against Boston.“We did well against them all year. We took it to them for the first couple of games and then they started playing well and it kind of seesawed back and forth and we won the seventh game.”He says against Philadelphia they won the first game but after that things just didn’t go well for the Canadiens for the rest of the series.“We just couldn’t get any breaks. We must have hit two posts a game. That’s just the way it went. It was fun though especially in the playoffs.”He says the playoffs is a whole new level of intensity. “Everybody’s going that much harder. Eighty-two games is a long year it’s a lot of games. When you hit about 72 games you just want to get the regular season over with. You want to get into a groove right before the playoffs and get it over with.”Asked if he gets recognized by fans on the streets of Montreal. Carey says it’s not that bad.“I have a helmet on when I’m playing but every once in a while you have someone who recognizes you a bit but other than that not really.”Asked how he handles fame and fortune. Carey downplays it.“I don’t think much about it. I’m a guy who just runs with everything. Whatever happens happens.”One of the highlights for him last season was playing in Phoenix against his cousin Shane Doan.“He scored on me but I stopped him on a breakaway. We had a pretty good chuckle over that one.”Carey’s looking forward to the coming season with one year of experience under his belt. He’s glad the Canadiens signed 31-year-old goaltender Marc Denis in the off-season.“I think we need a little veteran presence. There’s just me and Yaro. 21 and 23 years old that was it. There was just us two young guys and I think Bob (Gainey) figured to bring in somebody a little bit older to have around the room.”He says that was the best part about having Huet on the club.‘He was an unbelievable guy. I don’t think I could have had the year I had without him there. I wish him the best in whatever he does. I couldn’t have had a better guy there in my first year.”Carey says the immediate challenge right now is to work hard until camp.“You’ve got to show up in camp in the best shape possible. I’m starting to feel pretty good now but you’ve got to keep pushing yourself all the way to camp.”He says he’s grateful he doesn’t have to go to rookie camp or Tri-Cities camp this year. Tri-Cities camp is starting right now and he says he found it grueling to be in camp for two months before the season started. He says the Canadiens camp starts around the middle of September.“Meanwhile my trainer sends me something to do every day. Usually it takes me two-and-a-half hours to get through a workout. Running doing the elliptical riding the bike doing weights with your legs upper body core. A whole bunch of core workouts to do.”For hand-eye co-ordination he does some juggling.“You don’t come to training camp to get into shape any more you’ve got to come to training camp in shape. It’s a little different than it used to be.”Though he’s turned pro. Carey says playing hockey is still fun.“You miss it after a while during the off-season. You’re gone from the game for four or five months and you start to miss it.”Mostly he says you miss the camaraderie of the other players in the dressing room. He says Montreal is a lot different than Anahim Lake.“You go strolling with cowboy boots on and everybody looks at you funny.”When Carey got the images of George Strait and Garth Brooks painted on his goalie helmet a lot of Montreal fans raised their eyebrows. One day after he got home from Montreal he found a package in the mail from Tennessee. “I was thinking to myself did I order something from ebay off the internet. I didn’t recall ordering anything from Tennessee. I opened it up and it was a Stetson box. Inside was a signed Stetson from Garth Brooks and a note saying: ‘Carey thanks for keeping the faith pal. Garth Brooks.’ That was pretty cool.”Source

"Part One of the US Food Post" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-18 05:18:55

This is the food post from the States that is long overdue. When I was there. I was determined to try every single type of fast food there was. -_____- I should've resisted the temptation! At the end of the day a burger is a burger regardless whether it's In N Out or Jack In A Box or whatever. Haih. I'm no foodconnoisseur anyway! This time I'm only going to eat fast food sparingly and try to cook my own food or eat salads all the way. *determined face* Been a right busy day the whole of Saturday. Had to go and change money for the trip (so-called weakening US economy but the US dollar is stronger than last year. Last year it was 3.2 something now it's 3.53!!! I feel so poor now) and then buy tickets for Gamarjobat and then had to go for my colleague's wedding in Federal Hotel (congrats to David & Alice!). Whenever I buy theater tickets. I'm always astounded whenever I *do* manage to get tickets. No matter how highly promoted how many accolades are HEAPED upon the performance in national newspapers.. the turnout is always lukewarm at best. Perhaps I should selfishly think that it's better this way because then I'll *always* get the seats that I want... I'm way too sleepy to talk more about the wedding.. because I have to wake up early and attend another wedding tomorrow. -___-" So here are some pictures of restaurants / food that I went to while I was in US the last time. Cache Creek CasinoErm.. yes it's a casino but the only place that I could take photos freely was at the restaurant that Ivan treated us to. Also. I don't know why Simon had to drive all the way up to Sacramento to gamble but couldn't drive me to Gilroy more than once! Hmph! Really a troublesome thing when you need to depend on someone for transportation! FYI. I gamble.. among family members. We gamble blackjack mahjong rummy.. but it's ok because it's losing between family members! You don't feel the pinch as much. You could just think of it as. "Haiyah just think of my losses as giving more spending money to parents / grandparents". I cannot wrap my brain around the idea of losing to some fatcat out there. Granted you could WIN money from the fatcat but over the long run... if everyone made money from casinos they would cease to exist period. However since I was so bored waiting for Ivan and Simon to play blackjack. I played at the slots. Because you could sit down and just keep pressing one button intermittently and drag out your USD10 for as long as possible. -___- So here's one sneaky photo I took of the slot machine: And here's the food from the buffet! US buffets are crazy! Each dish is practically a meal unto itself! Like if there's something labelled "chicken chop" it's not like small pieces of chicken chop just for you to try how the meat tastes but it's like an entire chicken chop!! Something you would be paying like. RM20 for for your lunch! O____O Mulligatawny soup and oxtail soup. I've read about mulligatawny soup before.. and it sounds soooo exotic. It tastes like crap btw couldn't finish the thing. In case you're wondering what it is here's what I got from Dictionary com : "a curry flavored soup of East Indian origin made with chicken or meat stock." The cherry pie I displayed in the earlier entry was from this buffet and it was probably the bestest part of the buffet. Despite Simon saying that it was too sweet. Jack In The BoxNothing much to say about this place except that I think the Sirloin Burger is much better than the coveted Double Double at In N Out. :P And that Ivan refers to it as "Crack In The Box". Pizza ChicagoBefore I arrive in California. Iza my friend who is a pizza expert said that I should eat at Pizza Chicago. Occasionally in a bid to make me jealous my boyfriend would also boast about this place saying that the deep dish pizza is sooooooo delicious. Basically the pizza slices are much thicker due to it being cooked in a deeper pan but it's also very oily. Ivan later explained that it's so oily because they have to pour in extra oil to ensure that the pizza is cooked through thoroughly. -____- I think it's due to the oiliness that the two of us lao sai for the next few days after having Pizza Chicago. But it was soooooo good. So delicious but so fattening too. -___- And the service at Pizza Chicago was excellent. You know how sometimes people at the restaurant are quite stingy with their condiments? Not here. The guy practically kept on rattling random dips and sauces to go with the pizza that I didn't even know goes with pizza. Ranch dressing? Sure! Ketchup? Sure! Mustard? Okay! Sour cream? Why not! And the list goes on. Simon was sulking at me. Wonder what I did wrong... The operators @ work say that I'm too demanding and "how can your boyfriend stand it la!"Fact of life : women are not demanding it's just that the men do not know how to anticipate our needs. If they could do so then we wouldn't even need to VOICE out our needs hence looking like DEMANDING people! Would like to visit Chicago one day... Would also like to watch Chicago on broadway one day... =D Poor House BistroI felt so smart because I managed to find out about this place without Simon telling me! During my last trip. I did a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of investigation about San Jose. Tried to find out where all the good food could be found what were the places of interest I could walk to.. and one of the places that I read about was. The restaurant is about the size of a bungalow seats available inside and outside the house. Jazz music can be heard all 'round but we didn't manage to see a live band while we were there. :( Also it was ice hockey night so the restaurant was quite crowded with sports fans beer ready in hand. The people living in San Jose are pretty darn proud of the San Jose Sharks and you can find the SJ Sharks merchandise everywhere. Anyway the restaurant concept is a bit like fast food but much healthier. They serve New Orleans food - jambalaya gumbo crawfish pasta.. makes you feel like singing "Jambalaya on the Bayou" doesn't it? This thingy will light up and vibrate when your order is ready. Keeps the lines moving and the customer doesn't need to stand and wait after placing the order. :) Great concept eh? *jakun* Quiet room.. about an hour before the ice hockey match begins so not many customers sit inside the restaurant. It was so cold outside! No way I would sit on the terrace! Cajun Popcorn - Tender shrimp corn meal coated with herbs and spices and fried served with home made creole remoulade.[I got this from the website.. you think I can remember the menu description so well? HAHAH.] X-mas @ Ivan's HouseOne of the best meals that I ate while I was in San Jose was having Christmas Day lunch with Ivan and I'm not just sayin'. ;P Basically some good home-cooked food was much welcome after almost 2 weeks of eating out. Besides. Ivan is a really good cook even his mom and dad say so. :) We had asparagus a large side of ham and some shepherd's pie. Simon and I bought a large fruit tart over for dessert but we were way too full after lunch to have some. :( Oh and Ivan has the cutest (and biggest) dog evar. She literally bowled me over when I met her because she jumped on me and suddenly me who always feels like an elephant became a tiny Asian that easily crashed to the floor upon her pounce. She's called Brandy and she's really playful. :) If you ever toss a ball for her you're going to be stuck in the most mundane game of fetch for the next hour or so. But you can't help but to play with her because she's just soooo friendly. Haih. I miss you Brandy! :) The shy chef refuses to take center stage so greedy Simon ends up in the center of the photo. After lunch with Ivan we went to watch a movie.... I think we watched National Treasure 2. I don't even remember what it was like because I fell asleep half way. :O This is why Simon should allow me to select the movies we watch instead. *demanding*

"the old barn" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-18 05:18:48

As we embarked on another season of hilarious volleyball action we actually got into a bit of a serious conversation on the bench. With Yankee Stadium closing officially this past weekend we talked a little about the older stadiums and arenas still standing amongst sports. There was talk of Fenway Park. Wrigley Field. Soldier Field and Madison Square Garden as being some of the more famous "old barns". And it led me to start thinking of places like the old Boston Gardens. Maple Leaf Gardens. Montreal Forum. Chicago Stadium and the Detroit Olympia. There aren't very many places left in the NHL world that have the aura and mystique of these grand old facilities. And with each passing year more and more get wiped off the face of the planet. Currently the oldest arena in the NHL is and its days are numbered. The arena can hold 17,231 people for hockey and certainly rocks when the Penguins are winning. Affectionately known to Penguin fans as "The Igloo" due to its domed shape the Mellon Arena was originally built to house the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera and not sports. The Opera needed a new venue due to being rained out at the too often thus the Pittsburgh Civic Arena was built for a cost of $22 million in 1961. The dome is rarely opened today and this option allowed the Opera to play under the night sky. Complaints about the acoustics prompted the Opera to move out in 1968 and the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins moved into the Civic Arena ousting the long-time successful Pittsburgh Hornets of the AHL. It has played host to the 1990 All-Star Game and the NHL Finals three times: 1991. 1992 and 2008. In 1999 the Penguins signed a ten-year. $18 million agreement with Mellon Financial to rename the arena as the Mellon Arena. All in all this is one of the most unique arenas in the history of the NHL and the last game to be played in the Mellon Arena will take place in 2010. The third-oldest arena is one that really deserves better despite hosting an abysmal team and having a total lack of television exposure. The was opened in 1972 amidst some tenant controversy. The WHA's were to be the WHA's flagship franchise based in the Big Apple. However. Nassau County didn't consider the WHA to be a professional league and prevented the Raiders from moving into the newly-constructed arena. Nassau County and William Shea worked with the NHL to secure a franchise and the NHL hastily awarded an expansion team to Roy Boe situated on Long Island forcing the WHA's Raiders to play at Madison Square Garden in the shadow of the NHL's New York Rangers. Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum sits on 63 acres of Mitchel Field a former Army and Air Force base. The arena seats 16,234 patrons for ice hockey and actually has the smallest seating capacity of all the NHL arenas. The arena was called "Fort Neverlose" by Islander fans during the Islanders' run of four Stanley Cups from 1980 to 1984. Recently it has been given the moniker of "Nassau Mausoleum" due to the deteriorating state of the building and the long losing streak of the Islanders. Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum was built for $31 million in 1972 and there have been recent "redevelopment" plans proposed. One included having a sixty-story office building erected to look like a lighthouse something similar to the. However this idea was downsized by Islanders' owner Charles Wang and a consortium of businesses. Why is it that great ideas to make an arena unique like the one the Islanders had are killed off by people who can't see that the venue is just as important as the team on the ice?People go to Fenway Park to sit in the bleachers amongst the history of the stadium. Yes they go there to watch the Red Sox play but I guarantee you there are a lot of people who go there just to say they saw in person. It's the same thing in Wrigley Field in Chicago. People go there to see the and to sit in the seats that their parents and grandparents sat in while watching the Cubbies. The curse the agony the history of the Cubs makes them lovable but the venue plays a huge role in why the Cubs are one of the much-loved teams in Major League Baseball. With the current NHL arena designs looking similar in nature it seems that the aura and mystique of the old arenas are being lost. The no longer plays the familiar hockey tunes we used to hear. The along with the old movie theater-style signs made for unique arenas that carried a certain aura with them. And I feel we're losing the mantra that comes with some of the hallowed arenas of the past. Places like the Montreal Forum. Maple Leaf Gardens and Boston Gardens used to make players cringe when they walked into the arena knowing that they were playing a star-studded team. The fans sat much closer than they do today so the "sixth man" played a huge role in the game. Players had to walk up and down a flight of steps to get to the ice surface in the old Chicago Stadium something that a lot of players hated during an overtime playoff game. Walking up and down the stairs on skates was dangerous to say the least and players hated it."You had to go from the dressing room up about 17 or so stairs to the arena and the ice surface," . "It was very unique. I don't know any other rink that had that arrangement. The atmosphere in that facility.. you would walk up and the noise would get louder and louder and it was very spine-tingling. It was a special place to play."That's what I'm talking about. The entire atmosphere of the arena would get inside the players building confidence and generating excitement. The fans would respond to the cheering by cheering louder adding to the hysteria exponentially. The sights and sounds of the arena made the place an incredible place to play for the home team and an intimidating scary place for opponents. But it's no longer that way. And I miss it. Can't we go back to the way it was?This is something that Pittsburgh needs to consider in their designs. The nuances and aura that will be lost by moving out of the Mellon Arena need to be worked back into the new arena. Otherwise the Penguins will be playing in a cold cement building. Not an arena.. just a structure made of cement and metal. And that's too bad. Don't follow the cookie-cutter arena design. Pittsburgh. Build flashy. Make it fun. Do it differently. If you build it they will come. Oh they will definitely come. And isn't that what this new NHL is all about?Until next time keep your sticks on the ice! I have re-organized a number of the pictures I have ever used on this blog in order to clean up my hosting account. If you find a broken link in an old article please EMAIL ME at "cdnuniguy@gmail com" and I'll fix the link ASAP. Thank you!

"Ducks Get Even and Defeat Kings, 4-1" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-04-08 04:04:43

After a less than stellar performance in the opening game of the NHL season in London. England the Ducks woke up and got their first win of the season in bet 2 against the Kings. Today there was no problem with the arena lights although TSN ordain probably complain about the lack of the Canadian anthem again. (Note to TSN - change surface though Canadians do make up the bulk of NHL teams the two teams playing were US teams therefore no Canadian anthem required.) Coach Randy Carlyle who could not have been pleased with his team’s performance yesterday shook things up a bit by switching lines around and putting rookie Jonas Hiller in goal. Hiller was not severely challenged but made the stops when called upon. He stopped 22 of 23 shots in all. Jason LaBarbera got the nod in goal for the Kings and was more challenged by the Ducks than Jonathan Bernier was challenged yesterday. LaBarbera stopped 21 of 25 shots. The two top Ducks lines today were Chris Kunitz (newly appointed assistant captain). Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. The other top line consisted of Andy McDonald. Todd Bertuzzi and Bobby Ryan. Getzlaf and McDonald merely switched places and the changes worked. Perry had two goals (one on the cater play and one even strength) and an assist on Kunitz’ power play goal. Travis Moen had the other Ducks goal that made the game 4-0 early in the back up period. The Kings only be came from Mike Cammalleri who had two goals in yesterday’s game as well at 8:57 of the back up period. It came as a result of the Kings best efforts of the game but they were unable to continue any momentum and bring things any closer. The Ducks played a much more disciplined game and were able to keep out of the penalty box for the most move. It was an effort that should gratify Randy Carlyle and ordain furnish them something positive to act with them on the pip to Detroit after the bet. The Ducks ordain try to adjust to North American time in the eastern time zone and will do their best to be prepared for the Detroit Red Wings domiciliate opener on Wednesday. The Kings do not get until tomorrow and will not play until next Saturday giving them more time to recover from inevitable jet lag and degenerate. So at this point we say goodbye to merry olde England with the satisfaction of giving European Ducks fans a good show at the end. Ice hockey is not likely to usurp soccer’s hold any time soon but for two days fans got a good look at two NHL teams one the defending Stanley Cup Champions and the other playoff wannabes. Thanks for taking good care of the boys! This entry was posted on Sunday. September 30th. 2007 at 11:25 amand is filed under. You can follow any responses to this entry through the feed.

"AMHL Glory Introduction: the Joy of Hockey" posted by ~Ray

populate ask me about that shining moment when I first cut in love with hockey. Realizing hockey has been in my daub has been more a prolonged dawning than a flash of recognition. I didn’t play the game during my. My earliest hockey memory though is as an eight-year-old watching my dad’s Rangers against the Bruins in the 1972 Stanley Cup Finals. Not until I was a teenager did I get that adrenaline rush while digging dulled blades into a frozen pond and eluding other players who wanted that ebonite prize bobbling along my stick blade. Sensing the pure pleasure of pushing the puck between two tennis shoes. I wanted more. During my high school years. I became with hockey but my love for it was unrequited. I would furnish hockey everything I had for two months on the pond; then it would cast aside me because the pond couldn’t commit to being frozen for longer than that. When the ice would melt back into the pond. I’d long for the return of winter—or for the city to build an ice rink—which would reunite me with the object of my affection. However the hockey gods scorned me: They didn’t create that rink and they stole the NHL team my family and I had coveted most by letting hockey’s henchmen move it to another city across the country. I went away to college to a place just south of The Great White Heartland of Hockey where I could adore and learn about the bet from those who loved it with more fervor than I had felt or known possible. There I started to understand the fit between raw talent and dedication—and that it helped if you had both. Realizing I had little of the first. I knew I’d have to sight more of the second to change state part of the Frozen Fraternity. I dedicated myself to becoming a exceed player if only as a fringe member of the team. Soon afterward though. I traded the pursuit of glory for. In Spain where ice rinks were rare. I acquired a new language if not a comprehend for cold dope. Then before I knew it go marriage and kids—and all the self-imposed pressure that came with these responsibilities—claimed precedence. I all but divorced myself from the game I had loved. Unknowingly. I had turned the tables on the hockey gods allowing myself only the occasional fling on the ice. For the better part of a decade. I lingered around the game’s edges a part-time participant feeling unworthy of full membership in the club to defeat all clubs. Yet the hockey gods had a plan for me because after a series of scarring setbacks. I clawed my way back toward a more balanced life. . Now that I’ve been in Massachusetts and playing hockey regularly. I realize how much the game enriches my life. I realize what I was missing and rarely take for granted the on my arms as I enter the arena; the appear and conclude of sharpened blades carving into the ice; the shenanigans and subsequent laughter that belies the in a room shared by ten sweaty men and their rarely-washed hockey socks. The joy of hockey knows no borders. The elation I feel while playing stays with me as my wife and cross the 49th agree. We take so many trips to Canada that I’ve been accused of being a “Canadian spy.” I’m not what federal authorities consider a but it’s a excite to “” across the border gather “intelligence,” and then go domiciliate to play more hockey and plan our next trip. Even in places where ice hockey isn’t king it isn’t hard to sight. In England most tourists visit Buckingham Palace the and London connect but you won’t sight them in Basingstoke. There my wife and I watched the battle the Cardiff Devils. The beauty in all these experiences is that as my love for hockey has intensified so undergo my proclivity for music and my passion for composing stories with references to the likes of and I’m no Bach or Mozart but I act my little to share with others who love the game—and all its extending benefits—as much as I do.

Ice: The final frontier. Whether those who drink dare go where no man hath gone before. To boldly confront Tel Evision to go into the cold room of living with naught but one's undergarments atop one's manhood. To lose; to encourage no more! I don't know exactly what it is about the Anaheim Ducks but they sure manage to make the most out of their players!It was stated in the Hockey News' yearbook that Anaheim was considered to be one of the best places to play hockey amongst players. The management has earned a reputation of creating a competitive and yet fun atmosphere. While it strikes me as odd to think of players earning $7 million a year as concerned with "fun" the evidence seems to be that Anaheim's members certainly are enjoying themselves!And apparently. Todd Bertuzzi is no exception! I suspect that the Burke factor is a lot more important here than would normally be feasible. The two blunt men have a lot in common and they undergo obviously worked together before. Plus it must be nice for Bertuzzi to have the league's top GM willing to vouch for him while other teams are hesistant to sign him to an add up contract. With that in mind the Hockey News reports: Ducks GM Brian bump off says signing the winger to an US$8-million two-year deal wasn't a gamble despite the back problems that limited Bertuzzi to 15 regular-season games last season with Florida and Detroit."I'm much more comfortable with Todd because I had him as a player (in Vancouver) and I know his character," said bump off. "Our doctors when he passed his physical said there is no health issue there that they're worried about. This is the lightest he's been - he hasn't played at this weight since he was 17."I experience this player. I'm not worried about him fitting in and I'm not worried about what he can do on the ice."Bertuzzi wants to repay Burke for believing in him. I know that Bertuzzi has a bad reputation amongst hockey intellectuals. But to me Bert has always been one of the most fun players to watch on the ice. And off the ice his shennanigans be to have come to rest with the Steve Moore incident. Which is why I have had a soft spot in my heart for him ever since the incident. Bertuzzi is the best example I can think of of the media thrashing a player and leaving him for dead. His reputation was shot his label became associated with villany and despite his emotional about-face every team that took him on was hesistant and quick to assume the beat of him. After all who else do you know that.

In Denmark. I spent the evenings at work and the weekends in my apartment. The only sport I was doing was football which is not suited to my two left feet and sometimes cycling the Brabrand-trail in the weekends. I never could find a good gaming assort to hang out with in Denmark although I did try to get one started. In Norway I got back to my gaming assort we meet regularly each week either on Mondays or Thursdays. This is great I get 6-8 friends over we talk for 1/2-1 hour and then we play roleplaying games for 3-5 hours before we label it a night. For sports I started with "innebandy" (running after a roll with a stick desire ice hockey without the ice) but that was not a sport for me. Then I started with dancing displace (Boogie-woogie and lindy-hop) and it is actually fun. I have tried to start as a beginner before but it is actually fun and this measure I am actually getting exceed abstain. I am starting to actually be able to coordinate my feet and hands and think of how to move at the same measure (thinking of 3 things at the same time is usually 2 more than a normal man can manage). But I still undergo things to work on as I am trying to complete a 8 beat act in 7 beats which usually messes up things. An added befit is that there are more girls in the move classes then there are boys. For the weekends I have travelled to Oslo last weekend to visit an old friend and I am going to Oslo again next pass to attend a gaming event and to tour friends. For all the good things in Denmark and all the fun I have had down there. I am a Norwegian at heart and I have 10 years of roots and acquiring friends in Trondheim. There is something said for living in one place long. If I could just integrate these two places I would have the ameliorate place on the earth.

No. Joliet Jake and the Cubbies aren't in town (actually the Cubbies are...) but it's Chicago Day here at the LessAdsIsMore* bear on in beautiful north Davie. Big news: Few fans are expected because of the public educate embrangle (kids can't act field trips on testing days apparently) so this noon go away has been retooled into a 'business person's special.' I evaluate the Panthers should have just called it Chicago Day and been done with it. Have Derrek Lee displace the first puck bring out Carlos Zambrano and maybe change surface fly in Ryne Sandberg. Going to be a lot of soggy Cubs fans at JRS tonight many of whom might undergo enjoyed a cold one (and a beer too.) Since today's game isn't on television -- actually it's being broadcast in the Chicagoland area if you can accept that -- I ordain give my thoughts as the game goes on. Updates as they change state available. (*) LessAdsIsMore (LAIM) bear on is the new call for the previously known CorporateSponsorship Arena (CSA). -- Will undergo a head ascertain for you momentarily. Right now there are 15 populate in the touch box which is about half of what is downstairs in the arena proper. This is going to be one brutal. Marlinesque displace. -- The upper deck is alter. Because the cater has closed it. Good act there wasn't anyone up there anyway. -- Panthers undergo had plenty of scoring opportunities but haven't been able to close the broach. Outshooting Hawks 8-3 currently (5:55 left in first). -- PANTHERS GOAL: STEWART KNOCKS IN PUCK FROM DOWN LOW; FLA 1. CHI 0 5:32 LEFT... -- Craig Anderson finally gives up a goal; PATRICK SHARP -- FLA 1. CHI 1 w/ 4:09 left; power play goal FWI... BEARS SCORE.... ROBERT LANG FROM THE RIGHT CIRCLE... CHI 2. FLA 1 AT 10:00 OF THE SECOND... -- Speaking of the Gators have to conclude bad for old Rex Grossman. Dude is getting killed in ChiTown these days. Might just be measure for a dress of scenery. He's obviously not the guy for that job -- there anyway -- anymore. -- Trivia Time! One of Chicago's broadcasters is Eddie Olczyk; What's his coaching claim to fame? -- Lou Piniella takes a shot for CHI; blocked. He's arguing with the refs right now. Looks like he's getting ejected... -- Trivia Answer: Olcyzk was Sidney Crosby's first pro coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins way back in 2005. -- Some places have Select-A-Seat day; Today is Select-a-Section day. For one low determine you too can have 127 most of 125 all of 111 and most of 108 for a good price! Call 1-800-WE-AINT-PLAYING-A-GAME-AT-NOON-AGAIN for prices. -- Marlins prez David Sampson just told Michael Yormark "if you evaluate this crowd is bad imagine if you played the Nationals?" -- Speaking of Yormark lonelier job: Being a ticket taker at today's Panther game or driver of the Charlie Weis bandwagon? END OF TWO AT BARNETT tip PLAZA IN SUNRISE: CHI 2. FLA 1.... SHOTS: FLA 21-8 -- It's Hockey Night Tonight and the puck goes down the ice. Is this the greatest game you can name or what? -- Ozzie Guillen just blasted the Panthers during the second end telling them they've quit on him. -- Great Ad: Olli. Horton and Mike Van Ryn ordering cram at Panera Bread. Classic. Van Ryn checks the clerk after Olli orders an Italian Combo. So bad it's good (the ad not the Italian Combo. I'll reserve my snarky comments for Miami Subs.) -- Panthers undergo 23 shots; that's a number that rings special to Chicago basketball fans because Nate Salley once wore it there. -- FLA back on the cater play. Thanks to hooking (no snickering gratify)... PANTHERS GOOOOAL.... OLLI JOKINEN TAKES A GREAT FEED FROM CORY MURPHY ON THE cater PLAY... FLA 2. WHITE SOX 2....16:51 left in third... -- With Olesz out (hear it's his transfer). Booth is up on the second lie w/ Weiss and Horton... -- Steve and Edy. Jackie Mason among those coming to the LAIM bear on this coming year. Get your tickets early... -- Checkers is back as a sponsor. Their motto: You Gotta Eat. My answer to that: Not there I don't. -- Hooters also returns. The owl place known for its wings. So I'm told... OLLI. OLLI. OLLI HAS DONE IT AGAIN; JOKINEN W/ THE GOAL OFF A NICE FEED FROM PELTONEN; FLA 3. NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS 2...7:29 LEFT IN 3RD... -- EXCLUSIVE FROM SUNRISE: Olli is going to be one of the top three stars of the game... YOUR FINAL FROM THE GREAT WESTERN FORUM IN SUNRISE: FLORIDA PANTHERS 3. CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 2. FLORIDA IMPROVES TO 4-1 THIS PRESEASON. ordain FINISH WITH FIRST WINNING PRESEASON SINCE 2000. ALL FOUR WINS AGAINST CALGARY OR CHICAGO. BY THE WAY. Olczyk coached the Pens for one and a half seasons. Did Olczyk do color for them last year? I know he was working for NBC/VS.
