Perreault Champing at the Bit, Frustrated Maurice Had Him Sit Jets Head Coach, However, Has a Different Take on the Situation Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/perreault-champing-at-the-bit-frustrated-maurice- had-him-sit-481773833.html Perreault champing at the bit, frustrated Maurice had him sit Jets head coach, however, has a different take on the situation By: Mike McIntyre The difference in tone and message could have not been more striking. On one hand, veteran forward Mathieu Perreault was clearly frustrated at being held out of Game 4, saying it was not his choice to remain parked in the press box after being injured in the first game of the playoffs against Minnesota. He declared himself fit to play earlier in the week, said the medical staff have given him a clean bill of health and believes he could have been a difference-maker in a 2-1 loss Thursday night. "I felt like I could have played, yes. But it’s not my call, obviously, so it comes down to coach’s decision so I let them know I felt good, I wanted to play and there’s nothing else I can do," the always-candid Perreault said Friday following a skate at Bell MTS Place before his team jumped on a plane to Nashville for Saturday’s Game 5. "You know, I feel like a little bit of energy could have maybe helped the team, so hopefully I can come in and do that and try to get in on their D and just do what Mathieu Perreault does," he said. 'It's hard to be watching from the stands, so I definitely want to be out there. I'm just kind of waiting for a chance to get out there' — Mathieu Perreault On the other hand, head coach Paul Maurice insisted Perreault was not the healthy scratch so many believed he was including, it appears, Perreault himself. But he offered little in the way of insight and plenty in the way of humour mixed with a little sarcasm. "Really bad attitude in the morning skate (Thursday). And that’s it for me, man. We’ll see if he brings a better attitude (Saturday)," Maurice joked when asked why Perreault didn’t dress. When told Perreault felt he could, and should, have played, Maurice clapped his hands together at the podium. "Awesome. Love the positive attitude," the coach cracked. And then when pressed about what Perreault could bring to the lineup, specifically how he could alter the look of Winnipeg’s ability to roll four strong lines that Nashville would be hard-pressed to match up against, Maurice responded in bizarre fashion. "Wonderful hair," said Maurice. So what exactly is going on here? Maurice eventually got around to addressing the issue. Sort of. "It wasn’t close, fellas. I’m not saying how close it is. He feels he’s ready to play, that’s really, really important. The docs like where he’s at, that’s really important. I’m not putting two guys in my lineup that I’m concerned about coming in off injury on any single given night," Maurice said. That would be a reference to Joel Armia, who returned Thursday after missing the first three games of the series. Perreault could certainly alter the look of the Jets. He would likely send Matt Hendricks to the sidelines and reunite with Armia and Bryan Little on what could be a highly-effective bottom-six line. That could also allow Maurice to reunite his top checking trio of Adam Lowry, Brandon Tanev and Andrew Copp. With Perreault still out Thursday night, Little skated with Lowry and Tanev while Copp was paired with Hendricks and Armia. Not exactly the same look, and one that essentially made the Jets a three-line team once they fell behind and were pressing for some offence. "It’s hard to be watching from the stands, so I definitely want to be out there. I’m just kind of waiting for a chance to get out there," Perreault said. "It’s hard to watch. When you win, it’s awesome but a game like (Thursday) night when you end up losing, it’s really hard to watch." Whether he gets a chance to make an impact in Game 5 or continues to be a frustrated spectator remains to be seen. "I feel the same way, so it’s coach’s decision. I’m here waiting and I’ll be ready when I get the chance," Perreault said. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/no-ifs-ands-or-especially-butts----that-one-leaves-a- mark-on-the-whiteout-481767793.html No ifs, ands or, especially, butts — that one leaves a mark on the Whiteout By: Paul Wiecek It was a loss, but more than anything it was a monumental lost opportunity. And if the Winnipeg Jets season comes to an end in the next week, a lot sooner than a city draped in white is hoping, it will be the events of Thursday night at Bell MTS Place — and Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne’s Immaculate Butt-end, in particular — that will haunt fans for years to come. It is impossible to overstate just how costly the Jets 2-1 loss to Nashville in Game 4 of their best-of-seven series is to this city’s chances of seeing a Stanley Cup hoisted at Portage and Main next month. Consider the numbers: The Jets came into Thursday’s game with a 2-1 series lead that — all other things being equal, which they pretty much are in this series — gave Winnipeg a 61-per-cent chance of winning the series, according to one probability study that looked at every NHL playoff series between 1942 and 2015. Had the Jets gone on to win Thursday night, they would have taken a 3-1 series stranglehold and their odds of winning the series would have jumped to 88 per cent, according to the same study. With the Jets' loss, the series is tied 2-2 and it is now Nashville — who host two of the final three games of this series, including Game 5 Saturday night — who have a 60 per cent chance to go on to the Western Conference final. But instead, with the Jets' loss, the series is tied 2-2 and it is now Nashville — who host two of the final three games of this series, including Game 5 Saturday night — who have a 60 per cent chance to go on to the Western Conference final. And so with that, the difference for the Jets between winning and losing Thursday night wasn’t just about one game in a seven-game series; it was the difference between being an overwhelming favourite to put the best team in the NHL in their rear-view mirror versus being a statistically significant underdog with that same yellow-clad President's Cup-winning obstacle still very much in front of them. There is no more painful question in all of sports than "what If?" and Winnipeg sports fans, as tortured a bunch as you will find anywhere in North America, have spent a generation of haunted nights pondering that one: What if Jamie Macoun hadn’t broken Dale Hawerchuk's ribs with that vicious cross-check? What if Kevin Glenn hadn’t broken his arm while leading the Blue Bombers to the Grey Cup? What if Mike O’Shea had simply gone for it on third-and-four? And now, you can add to that list: What if Rinne’s butt-end hadn’t come to rest — upside-down, no less — in precisely the same path as a puck off the stick of Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey was sliding to an open Nashville net for what would have been the first goal of the game? I will tell you "what if": it would have been an entirely different game, and one which the Jets — in all likelihood — would have won, given their dominating record — 42-5-6 — when they scored first this season. Instead, it was the Predators who took the lead Thursday night and then spent the rest of the night clogging the neutral zone with a style of hockey that was both incredibly boring and frighteningly efficient at neutralizing everything the Jets threw at them the rest of the night. If the Jets are going to reclaim the advantage in this series Saturday in Music City, it is going to have to begin with them figuring out a way to draw first blood again. I say "frighteningly" because what was on display for much of Thursday night looked a whole lot like the moment someone in the NHL finally figured out how to neutralize all the speed and skill that have made the Jets the offensive juggernaut they have been this season. And so, little wonder the message out of the Jets dressing room after the game was an almost delusional, "What, me worry?" I’m not sure whether they were trying to convince us or themselves, but from captain Blake Wheeler, to veteran Bryan Little, to head coach Paul Maurice, the Jets were united behind a message after the game and that message was: "No, there was nothing special about what Nashville did against us, why do you ask?" And also, "No, Nashville didn’t just discover our kryptonite and, also, I have to go now." All I know is Preds' head coach Peter Laviolette clearly made adjustments after watching his club squander a three-goal lead in Game 3 and those adjustments worked very, very well on a night his club outshot Winnipeg 16-2 from the midway point of the second period to the midway point of the third period when the Preds were nursing a 2-0 lead and the game was still up for grabs.

    SPORTS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2015 Oilers slip past Canadiens EDMONTON: Leon Draisaitl’s second goal with 1:02 left broke a tie and the Edmonton Oilers scored four straight goals in a 4-3 victory over the league-leading Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night. Draisaitl was called up earlier in the day from Bakersfield of the AHL and missed the morning skate. He played in 37 NHL games last season. Brandon Davidson and Benoit Pouliot also scored, and the Oilers erased a 3-0 first-period deficit to end a three-game skid. Brendan Gallagher, Torrey Mitchell and Alex Galchenyuk scored for Montreal. The Canadiens have lost two straight after starting the season with nine straight victories. Edmonton completed the comeback when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins fed it out front to Draisaitl for his second of the contest. HURRICANES 3, ISLANDERS 2 Ron Hainsey scored at 2:21 of overtime to lift Carolina over New York. Brock McGinn and Chris Terry scored in regulation to help Carolina win its second straight to cap a 4-3-0 road trip. Eddie Lack stopped 17 shots. Hainsey took a pass from Jordan Staal and slid the puck past Islanders goalie Thomas Greiss near the midpoint of the extra period for his second of the season. Terry had tied the score with 5:04 left in the third, finishing off a slick passing play with Eric and Jordan Staal. The goal was Terry’s second of the season. Matt Martin and Frans Nielsen scored for the Islanders, and Greiss finished with 26 saves.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.

  • Jets Expansion Draft Plan Coming Into Focus? Signing Dano Could Be Indicator
    Winnipeg Sun http://www.winnipegsun.com/2017/06/13/jets-expansion-draft-plan-coming-into-focus Jets expansion draft plan coming into focus? Signing Dano could be indicator BY KEN WIEBE, WINNIPEG SUN There are still several moving parts and a few issues left to uncover or resolve, but the expansion plans for the Winnipeg Jets are coming into focus. While it's still unclear whether the Jets asked veteran defenceman Toby Enstrom to waive his no-movement clause before Monday's deadline, you'd have to think the conversation took place. When Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff was asked directly about the topic of no-movement clauses at his year-end address, he said all options would be explored. Officially, the Jets won't be commenting on the process until after the protected lists are revealed on Sunday morning. Based on experience, one shouldn't expect too much detail to be given, even after the expansion draft picks are made public. It's a sensitive subject and one of the biggest reasons the NHL GM's didn't want the lists to be made public. Yes, it's possible the Jets could buy out the final year of Enstrom's $5.75 million contract, but that appears to be the most unlikely result. The Jets haven't bought out a player since the franchise relocated and it's hard to imagine Enstrom would be the first, especially since they still value his services when healthy. Buying him out would be both a costly proposition and leave a void on the left side of the defence depth chart.

  • Computationally Intensive Methods for Spectrum Estimation
    Computationally Intensive Methods for Spectrum Estimation by Joshua Pohlkamp-Hartt A thesis submitted to the Department of Mathematics & Statistics in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen's University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April 2016 Copyright c Joshua Pohlkamp-Hartt, April 2016 Abstract Spectrum estimation is an essential technique for analyzing time series data. A leading method in the field of spectrum estimation is the multitaper method. The multitaper method has been applied to many scientific fields and has led to the development of new methods for detection signals and modeling periodic data. Within these methods there are open problems concerning parameter selection, signal detection rates, and signal estimation. The focus of this thesis is to address these problems by using techniques from statistical learning theory. This thesis presents three theoretical contributions for improving methods related to the multitaper spectrum estimation method: (1) two hypothesis testing procedures for evaluating the choice of time- bandwidth, NW , and number of tapers, K, parameters for the multitaper method, (2) a bootstrapping procedure for improving the signal detection rates for the F -test for line components, and (3) cross-validation, boosting, and bootstrapping methods for improving the performance of the inverse Fourier transform periodic data estimation method resulting from the F -test. We additionally present two applied contributions: (1) a new atrial signal extraction method for electrocardiogram data, and (2) four new methods for analyzing, modeling, and reporting on hockey game play at the Major Junior level. ii Acknowledgments I would like to thank: • My supervisors Glen and David for their support and guidance.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips March 25, 2021 Sabres’ winless streak hits 15 as Penguins roll to 5-2 win By Will Graves Associated Press March 25, 2021 PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins are tired. They’re hurting. And in a way, they’re scrambling. Nothing a visit from the reeling Buffalo Sabres can’t fix. Sidney Crosby picked up his 13th goal of the season, Tristan Jarry stopped 26 shots and the Penguins extended Buffalo’s winless streak to 15 games with a 5-2 victory on Wednesday night. Evan Rodrigues, Kris Letang, John Marino and Zach Aston-Reese scored also for the Penguins, who recovered from a sluggish three-game set against New Jersey in which they managed just one victory by pouncing on the undermanned and overmatched Sabres. “We’re a close group, a very resilient group,” Marino said. “We’ve had a lot of come-from-behind wins, a lot of bounce-back wins (like tonight). It says a lot about the guys in the room.” Buffalo goalie Dustin Tokarski, making his first NHL start in more than five years with Carter Hutton out due to a lower-body injury, finished with 37 saves and kept the Sabres in it until late in the second period, when Marino and Aston-Reese scored just over 2 minutes apart to give the Penguins all the cushion required. Rasmus Dahlin scored his second goal of the season and Victor Olofsson beat Jarry on a penalty shot in the third period, but the NHL’s worst team remained in a tailspin.
