Experience RequiredBy Mike Vogel at
Dump 'N ChaseAs the saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In recent years, it has become common for NHL teams to pattern themselves after recent Cup-winning clubs in the hope of fashioning a team that can challenge for the chalice.
The 2006 Carolina Hurricanes showed that speed kills, and teams began seeking speedsters in the wake of that Triangle triumph. The 2007 Anaheim Ducks were a forceful, physical bunch, and teams around the NHL began to put more of a premium on size immediately after the Ducks drank from the Cup...

Final Practice - Vettel and Rosberg at the last minutePosted at
Formula1.comThings really hotted up in Istanbul Park in Saturday morning practice, even though the track and ambient temperatures were cooler than yesterday.
A flurry of late activity saw many of the leading runners having serious problems with the notorious Turn Eight, with the spin of the day award going to Lewis Hamilton who did what Felipe Massa did yesterday only a lot faster. The outer kerb bit him between the second and third apexes, but the greater momentum of the McLaren carried it backwards into the gravel...
May 28, 20102009-10 Rink Wrap: Alex OvechkinPosted by J.P. at
Japers' RinkKey Stats: Ovechkin led the League in points- and goals-per-game and goals created (despite missing ten games; stat explained here), had the best plus-minus rating among NHL forwards and led the Caps to the best record in the NHL.
Interesting Stat: Ovechkin took 30.3% fewer shots in 2009-10 than he did in 2008-09, but only scored 10.7% fewer goals.
The Good: With his second-consecutive 50/50 campaign, Ovechkin joined Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Mike Bossy as the only players in NHL history to top 250 goals and 250 assists in their first five years in the League...

The aformentioned Tornillo now on vocals, Stefan Schwarzman (formerly with Helloween) on drums, and the rest of the band were as before at the Hammy Odeon in 1984. Opening up with
Metal Heart, Tornillo easily filled the shoes of Udo Dirkschneider, in fact he reminded me of Brian ‘Beano’ Johnson with his gruff delivery. It really was a trip down memory lane as the devotedly partisan crowd lapped up all the old favourites such as

The 2009-2010 season, by the "tens"
-- Goaltenders: Semyon VarlamovBy The Peerless at
The Peerless Prognosticator
...Semyon Varlamov gives teasing glimpses of what he can be. In 51 NHL games (regular season and playoffs), he is 29-13-7, 2.51, .913, with four shutouts. Not bad for a goaltender who just turned 22. This year, Varlamov finished the regular season 15-4-6, 2.55, .909, and two shutouts, a performance that would appear to position him to permanently take over the number one goaltending job for the Capitals next season.
That’s the good news. But look at the ten-game splits a little more closely, and you can start to see the blemishes...

Formula1.comLewis Hamilton drew first blood in the opening practice session for the Turkish Grand Prix on Friday, when he lapped a second faster than McLaren team mate Jenson Button.

2009-10 Rink Wrap: Michal NeuvirthPosted by David M. Getz at
Japers' RinkKey Stat: Neuvirth's .914 NHL save percentage was higher than Jose Theodore's (.911) and Semyon Varlamov's (.909).
Interesting Stat: On January 12th and 13th Neuvirth was pulled in back-to-back starts, both times for allowing four goals on 15 shots.
The Good: Given the opportunity to play significantly more NHL minutes than did in 2008-09, Neuvirth proved himself up to the challenge, recording a .914 save percentage and 2.75 goals against average to go along with a 9-4-0 record, while arguably looking "quieter" and more in control than either Theodore or Varlamov...

Formula1.comThe undulating 5.338-kilometre Istanbul Park circuit is unusual in that it is one of only four on the calendar that runs anti-clockwise, the other three being Singapore, Brazil’s Interlagos and Abu Dhabi. Its unique selling point is the formidable Turn Eight, the everlasting left-hander which has three apexes and is taken around 250 km/h at arguably the highest G-forces the drivers experience during the season. Elsewhere, speeds reach 320 km/h and track temperatures of up to 55 degrees Celsius are to be expected. It’s a tough place...
