(The protest) was anything but peaceful. |
(The referees) have been calling (penalties) and sticking to them. They've been calling them when it's 5-on-4 and they've been calling it late in game and in overtime. It's made for a better game. |
[At a small rink in Toronto next week, the NHL is inviting its GMs and coaches to a research-and-development camp, and it has recruited overage juniors who are free agents and a handful of college skaters for tests and scrimmages over three days.] We'll be focusing on rules changes that have been brought forth over the last year and a half, ... We understand certain changes have to be made, but we don't want knee-jerk solutions. We don't think the game is as bad on the ice as some people make it out to be. That's a side effect of our problems off the ice. But we do understand some changes have to be made. |
As this poster makes abundantly clear, we've already consumed about half of the world's total endowment of regular conventional oil. This has provided most supply to-date and will dominate all supply far into the future. We are now entering the second half of the Oil Age, and face the relentless decline of production, imposed by nature. |
But this is going to stay for a while. We can't get lax this time. |
But this time, because of the lockout, we had the whole year to sink our teeth into it. We discussed it with players, coaches, refs and managers, and this was (the edict) to come down. |

He was very soft, sweet and he gave Diana all the attention she lusted after, |
He went way beyond the limits. He was going for the player's eye. He did damage to the guy's eye. That wasn't a punch, he was trying to grab the player's eye with his thumb - after he speared him first. And he's a repeat offender. |
I can understand why this always went away in November and December. The pressure is there to make it go away now. And we don't want it to go away. That's why we're hitting it head-on with the managers. If we don't stay the course, we're in trouble. We've made a commitment and we have to stay the course. |
I definitely didn't know that the major corporations, like Fox and CNN, were seen as either left or right. The information is more important or applicable around elections. I'll definitely look at reporting companies to see the difference in bias then. |
I find it quite disturbing and also surprising that in the legal world of all places redress is denied. |
I liked the rebuttals the best during the debate because they interacted more emotionally. |
If a big call is made in the last 30 seconds or five minutes of a game, if there's a call made that keeps a team out of the playoffs or knocks them out of the first round, and it starts costing teams money, that'll be the litmus test, |
