Looking through Google I found a recent interview with Philippe Dupuis. Dupuis says that the organization made him aware that they wanted to give more ice time to the young guys, and that my place was no longer here. The article goes on to say that he had offers from the Sharks, Predators and the St-Louis Blues.

"La direction m’a fait comprendre qu’elle voulait donner plus de temps de glace aux jeunes et que ma place n’était plus ici", souligne Dupuis.

Cameron Gaunce will be taking part in a charity Hockey Night tomorrow night, this one in Stouffville. Tickets are still available. It's about an hour away from Toronto.

NHLers on the rosters are Phoenix Coyotes Raffi Torres and Ethan Werek, Stephen Weiss of the Florida Panthers, Cameron Gaunce of the Colorado Avalanche and Mike Zigomanis of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The event, hosted by Oak Ridges-Markham MP Paul Calandra is a fundraiser for Stouffville’s new Royal Canadian Legion and Markham Stouffville Hospital.

Gaunce isn't the only one doing good, Greg Mauldin is playing the role of Guest Coach.

Mauldin, who is under contract with the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, agreed.

"I played in this program – it’s really rewarding to give back. [The coaches] have been through this – we can relate to the kids and what they are going through; sometimes that’s the best way to learn – from someone who has been through it," he said.

 

 

Today's question: What is the first CD/ cassette/ 8 track/ record/ whatever-it-was-when-you-bought-one that you owned? That is, what was the first one you purchased for yourself?

a weird and ironic dream

odd that Sandie did a musical theme for today’s cupcakes. Last night, I had a dream that MHH had turned into a music blog. I had a bunch of Van Halen caption threads up, plus some some weird video of Roger Daltry with some kid sitting in his lap (I have kind of weird dreams, and clearly I don’t know the difference between Pete Townsend and Roger Daltry).

anyway, the big part of the dream was that news came out that James Hetfield never played guitar on the Metallica albums – it was all a ghost musician. I made some comment like it wasn’t a big deal and I still liked Metallica and you guys totally turned against me and the blog was never the same again.

The first tape was Roch Voisine’s Helene. That is his fist big hit. And it was huge. It’s not one of my favorites by him though. That’s a live acoustic only-version. I prefer his acoustic version, but I usually prefer acoustic versions. One of the reasons I love his concerts (been to over ten- he travels a lot). He was huge in Quebec and overseas. He also sings in English. He’s had a few “big hits” in English, I’ll Always be There and Kissing Rain probably being the two biggest. I still listen to him. Love his Christmas CD’s. He has them both in French and English, Christmas morning he is on. Every time.

Eric Lapointe in another Frenchie. He was asked for by the Rolling Stones to open for them in Paris. I still list to him as well. There is Tender Fesse (Completely NSFW). N’importe Quoi (also has a scene that might be NSFW). I’m trying to find one that is safe for work, it’s rather difficult! AH HA , Mon Ange!

First one I bought: I don’t know that I can remember. I had a brother who was 7 years older than I was so I usually just copied what ever tapes or CDs he bought. Ahhh, the good old days of pirating music. If I had to guess one I actually bought, it could have been Vanilla Ice.

Puckdaddy has a picture of the new smaller nets at the R and D camp. He says they are barely noticable but for some reason they look remarkably small to me; almost like they could be knocked over easily.

I’m impressed the organization talked to Dupuis about why they weren’t bringing him back. It’s evidence that the big silent vortex we thought was the Avs’ front office may not be quite like that anymore.

But if he got offers from all those teams, why on EARTH did he pick the Leafs??

First album—Funny Favorites. Had Monster Mash and some other silly songs on it.
Never owned my own 8-track, but my mom and dad had one in the car—I was mad when it was stolen because they left a Henry Mancini 8-track and took the one I liked.
Tape—something with Glen Campbell. What was I thinking?
CD—I can’t remember for sure, but it was probably Christian music when I was in that phase.
Last CD I will ever buy was All American Rejects, but I’m getting old and I don’t remember the title (I got over the religious music phase pretty quickly).

Alright Jibs, where are you

I saw on the twitter machine that you are against the yellow/green line. I have a series of questions, and I want them answered immediately:

  • Is your primary disagreement in its aesthetics?
  • You claim there might still be controverseis, but even if it solved a handful, isn’t that worth it?
  • Are you against giving it a shot and seeing if it does help?
  • I am of the opinion that goals should be goals and anything that helps get the right call without ruining the game is good. Do you disagree?

He said it’s not aesthetics.

I am officially against the goal verification line, not for aesthetics either.

It’s great, unless the puck is at any angle in reference to the ice surface. The puck can be over the goal line and not touch the vet.

Also the cameras NHL uses are at angles too. Puck can appear to be touching verification line when it isn’t.& vice versa

I'll keep this brief.

by Dario on Aug 17, 2011 10:50 AM MDT up reply actions  

I agree and disagree with jibs. I think any help is good, the technology challenges can be met with remote hi def cams soon.

I agree with him in one respect though. Trying to tell if a black puck is touching a green line is a lot more difficult to determine than if there’s any white space when a puck crosses the goal line. But, the half dozen times is does happen in a season I’m sure it will help. It might create more contraversy in another half dozen cases. It’s kind of like the recent changes to Refs calls on good goals vs. bad goals. They used to either point and center ice or wave their hands and that was the end of it. Now, they have to get on a mic and give a long (and sometimes convoluted) explanation of why it was or was not a goal. There was a certain beauty in the simplicity of it before. Now when we can’t see the puck go over the goal line we all know that’s just how the game works. I’m just saying that in certain cases, it’s OK to just round to two decimal places and call it good instead of typing PIE out to 100 decimels.

I'll keep this brief.

I agree with him in one respect though. Trying to tell if a black puck is touching a green line is a lot more difficult to determine than if there’s any white space when a puck crosses the goal line.

This demonstrates my point precisely. The first thing Dario assumed (probably correctly) is that goal judges will try to determine whether a puck is touching the green line…. not whether the puck is actually over the goal line. Instead of becoming an aid to help in the rare situation the puck is flat on the ice, it will result in legitimate goals being called off because the puck isn’t touching the green line, even though it’s completely over the goal line, which is what’s really important.

You claim there might still be controversies, but even if it solved a handful, isn’t that worth it?

I think it solves problems with bigger problems. Officials will use the line as a crutch.

I am of the opinion that goals should be goals and anything that helps get the right call without ruining the game is good. Do you disagree?

I do agree, I think the line will cause more problems than it solves, and get more calls wrong. If the puck is at an angle, at all, it can appear not to touch the green/yellow line and still be completely over the goal line. In close cases the goal judge will call no goal even though the puck has crossed because “it won’t be touching the verification line.” The problem becomes even more pronounced when you factor in that the overhead angle is at a slight angle, and the one in the back of the net is at a worse angle.

You would think in this day and age you could find a way to put a chip or ring of chips in the puck that would not affect how the puck moved when hit or weight of it or anything. Then the ice could have the same under the goal line and poof no need for a goal judge, a computer program could even turn on the goal lamp. We can make a GPS that fits in your pocket and tells you down to inches where you are, but we can’t figure this problem out. Why do we have to be like baseball and stuck in the 1960s when it comes to technology.

They have discussed this. They said it was too difficult to get the ship into the puck that can withstand the cold, shots against the boards and others, and it is extremely expensive to have them in 1000’s of pucks and hundreds of nets that have to withstand contact constantly.

I completely agree with this. I know you are dealing with a plane and not just a line (like you would be in Tennis, for example), but is is such a well-defined plane that you would think that technology could reliably tell you when a goal has been scored. Back in the 90’s they had something in the puck that made it glow on TV, for crise sakes. Why can’t they do something to eliminate goal confusion?

I would love to see it too. I think it would be great and solve the issue with the puck in a glove, but I wonder if the technology is there or could be there if someone really tried.

That’s fine, I agree the technology might be there. But what about when the pucks go into the stands. That person might get a 500 dollar puck?

What would be really cool is if an Av player took a chip out of a puck and put it in the blade of his stick. Then he could score a goal just by putting the blade of his stick in the net.

Just put a net all the way around the ice instead of just behind the goals. The durability would be the biggest cost driver. Tom Toms and Garmins now a days are cheap, but to build something that is military grade where you can throw them against a wall and not have a problem, that is when your cost goes up. You would think puting a chip or tiny board in an inch of rubber would provide plenty of cushion.

What if they do focus on the green line and they use that as the primary tool but it provides a more effective crutch than the regular goal line.

I don’t think this is very likely. I guess it’s possible, and there will be times when it is useful, but I think any time the puck is between lines, the green line will become confusing more than clarifying

I am conflicted about it, but it seems like a minor tweak that might work. I think that if they move it back enough that there is no dispute then it could work. It could go an entire year and never be used.

I started working out and dieting last week so I have been reading the nutrition labels for crap I used to eat (never have paid much attention in the past). Holy crap most of what I used to eat is horrible for you. One I noticed is hot pockets, they are quick to make when I go home for lunch. Two hot pockets, one box, is about the same as 4 ice cream bars (had those in the freezer too). Surprised me, it was pretty much one third to one half of all the stuff you don’t need in two little hot pockets.

I’m not sure if fish is expensiver here (Vancouver)…but I enjoy it as well.

I love chicken. I want to get back to eating Tuna regularily (3 times a week, but I havn’t done any research on Mercury and what have you so I can’t really be bothered with it…not mention it’s kinda bland/chewy)

I’m just discovering a love of fish. Talapia, tuna…salmon to a lesser extent. I LOVE scallops, shrimp, seafood in general. I’m sad that my mom never threw out a fish dish unless it was fish sticks when I was younger

Buffalo is exquisite. Really good (albeit, also expensive).

The wife and I cook a lot of turke. tastes better than chicken, usually better for you too.

They’ve got buffalo here too. I contemplated getting some last week, but went for the whole chicken instead. Maybe next time.

You should see if the farmers market has wings. buffalo wings are always a good meal. If you want fish you can always try Long John Silvers, that is if CO.

You should see the nutrition info for fast food restaurants. A $6 burger at Wendy’s can be as many as 1200 calories. Even their salads are upwards of 600. It’s insane. Some restaurants have the nutrition info on their menus now. It’s so eye opening.

August sucks.

by Cheryl Bradley on Aug 17, 2011 2:43 PM MDT up reply actions  

I thought by law fast food places had to have it posted some where on a wall or on the back of the place mats. Things like the yogurts and stuff at McDonalds end up being bad because of the added on stuff. Also you have to be careful because of serving size. 4 oz. of something maybe healthy but the 16 oz. you get at a restuarant probably is not.

Which is why I do pretty much all my cooking at home, and restaurants are a once a month thing

Oh they do have to post it, but it’s usually in an out of the way spot that’s hard to get to. I go online. Most places have a “build a menu” feature that tallies it all up for you. McDonalds has started putting it on their happy meal bags. Kind of cool.

August sucks.

by Cheryl Bradley on Aug 17, 2011 3:33 PM MDT up reply actions  

Plus a lot of it is what you order. All those places have healthy options, but people don’t order them often, because let’s face it, we aren’t there for the health food, we’re there for the cheeseburger and fries.

Yeah, when I used to go to McDonalds, I would get the Happy Meal with the apple dippers and diet coke. Was only 300 calories. Not the healthiest otherwise, but one of the better options. Carl’s Jr has a bbq chicken sandwich that isn’t bad either.

From yesterday?

Basically one player made an enormous team-switch. He joined a team whose best player is his biggest rival. It would be like Jagr signing with the Flyers to team up with Lindros in their primes. It was pretty huge. The announcement of the Korean pro-gaming house means the EG team is supporting players in two different countries in two different progaming houses, which is pretty unheard of.

No way can I remember what my first cassette was. I am not sure I ever even bought any, they may have all been given to me or copied. First CD I bought was Houses of the Holy, which as well as the first one I was given (Sisters Of Mercy, First and Last and Always) I still listen to. Which could make another good music question. I know that I listen to recently acquired music more than some of my older stuff, but there are some timeless classics I still throw on now and again. So what is the oldest album/song that you remember owning, from whatever source, that you have listened to in the last year? Mine would be Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits.

Never had 8-tracks, never liked store-bought tapes either. Really poor format.

First album I bought was The Cars debut, and pretty sure Led Zeppelin II the next week.

I remember buying my first CD player fall term of senior year in HS. So hard to find CDs, especially in benighted Hartford. The only decent store I could find was at the Civic Center (“Home of the Whale!”) and picked up The Cure – Standing on a Beach, Metallica – Master of Puppets, and The Clash – London Calling. A couple weeks later I hooked up with The Cult – Love and Bob Marley – Kaya. That was my entire collection for 4 months. Could have been worse…
