Today's News Clips May 4, 2018 Today’s News Clips May 4, 2018 Chicago Tribune Former Blackhawks enforcer Daniel Carcillo pledges to donate brain to research after death Shannon Ryan May 3, 2018 Former Blackhawks forward Daniel Carcillo announced Wednesday night that he will donate his brain to the study of traumatic brain injury when he dies. “This is one of the scariest & hardest things I’ve ever had to write but here it goes,” he posted on Twitter. “I am pledging my brain to Ted Carrick and the @Carrickinst (Carrick Institute) to be used for study and furthering understanding of the consequences of traumatic brain injury when I pass.” The enforcer who played 12 seasons in the NHL has become an outspoken advocate for better health care for NHL players and a critic of the way the league deals with injuries. Carcillo twice led the NHL in penalty minutes. He played on two Stanley Cup-winning teams with the the Hawks before retiring in 2015. He has been critical of the league’s punishments during the Stanley Cup playoffs this season. On Tuesday, he blasted the league for not punishing the Capitals’ Tom Wilson after a hit that took the Penguins’ Brian Dumoulin out of the game. Wilson was suspended Wednesday for three games for a hit on Zach Aston-Reese that broke his jaw and gave him a concussion. Carcillo, 33, founded the Chapter 5 Foundation in honor of his friend and former NHL player Steve Montador, who died at 35. Chicago Sun-Times Daniel Carcillo pledges to donate his brain to research on head trauma Satchel Price May 3, 2018 Former NHL forward Daniel Carcillo pledged to donate his brain to the Carrick Institute for research into the effects of traumatic brain injuries. The longtime enforcer who played three seasons with the Blackhawks announced his decision Wednesday night as part of his reaction on social media to a series of illegal hits during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. @CarBombBoom13 This is one of the scariest & hardest things I’ve ever had to write but here it goes. I am pledging my brain to Ted Carrick and the @Carrickinst (Carrick Institute) to be used for study and furthering understanding of the consequences of traumatic brain injury when I pass @NHL Carcillo retired from the NHL in 2015 and has since devoted his time to advocating research into mental health and the effects of concussions. The 33-year-old started the Chapter 5 Foundation in honor of Steve Montador, a best friend and former NHL enforcer who died at age 35. He has been vocal on social media about the need for the league to better handle the risks and long-term effects of playing hockey. One change Carcillo specifically called for Wednesday was the outright banning of hits to the head at the NHL level. The IIHF, NCAA and OHL have adopted those rules, and back in 2011, some big-name players said they were in favor of following that trend. However, the league has been slow to change, instead adopting half- measures meant to discourage and penalize certain head hits without banning all of them. In March, Carcillo joined the concussion lawsuit against the NHL that was filed four years ago by a group of former players. A judge in Minnesota is currently reviewing whether the case should go forward as a class action lawsuit, which would automatically make roughly 5,000 former players plaintiffs and turn up the stakes for the league. “I’m not a bitter guy looking to hurt the NHL,” Carcillo said at the time. “I’m not out for money. I’ll donate anything I get to research. I just want to put pressure on the NHL and educate and advocate for guys.” Carcillo played 429 NHL games over nine seasons with the Coyotes, Flyers, Blackhawks, Kings and Rangers. He won a Stanley Cup with the Hawks in 2013, but said Wednesday that he “would trade my name on the [Stanley Cup] twice over for another conversation with Steve Montador. That’s how much I care about this advocacy work.” Chicago Sun-Times Ex-Blackhawk Marcus Kruger traded to Coyotes in unusual mid- postseason deal Satchel Price May 3, 2018 The Coyotes acquired forward Marcus Kruger and a 2018 third-round pick from the Hurricanes for forward Jordan Martinook and a 2018 fourth-round pick in an unusual mid-playoff deal, the teams announced Thursday. The Hurricanes are also retaining 10 percent of Kruger’s $3.08 million cap hit, so the Coyotes will be on the hook for $2.772 million in cap space. It’s not often that you see two teams, even non-playoff teams, make a deal during the NHL postseason, but Carolina and Arizona began their offseason work early. Kruger, a former member of the Blackhawks, has one year remaining on the deal he originally signed with Chicago in 2016. He was dealt twice last summer – first to Vegas, then to Carolina – after the Hawks decided they could no longer afford paying such a lucrative cap hit to a fourth-line center. The Hurricanes opened the 2017-18 season with Kruger filling that same role in their lineup, but he played only 48 games before the team placed him on waivers. He cleared a day later and spent the rest of the season with the Hurricanes’ AHL affiliate, where he recorded eight points in 19 games. It’s a major fall from grace for Kruger, who played a key role on Stanley Cup-winning teams with the Blackhawks in 2013 and 2015. He became known for his defensive ability in the bottom six and on the penalty kill. For the Coyotes, adding Kruger is about budgeting and asset management more than anything. The forward pushes the Coyotes closer to the salary cap minimum with his cap hit, but he’s only due $2.3 million in actual compensation. And because the Hurricanes wanted to get most of the cap hit off their hands, they sweetened the pot by taking a fourth-round pick for a third-round pick. The Athletic Blackhawks season review: Patrick Kane continues to do his part Scott Powers May 3, 2018 The Blackhawks have to be worried to some extent about most of their core. Jonathan Toews, who just turned 30, hasn’t been the same elite center the past few years. Brent Seabrook, 33, has been on the decline. Duncan Keith, who will turn 35 in July, is coming off his worst season. Corey Crawford, 33, hasn’t played since December and his future is unknown. And then there’s Patrick Kane. At 29 — he’ll be 30 in November — he continues to be a steady offensive star. Kane led or nearly led the Blackhawks in every offensive category again this season and did so after losing the stability of consistent linemates, most notably Artemi Panarin, with whom he shared remarkable chemistry. Kane’s production this season wasn’t at the same level as it was when he played with Panarin, but he still scored plenty of goals and put up a lot of points. Age may eventually catch up to Kane, but it hasn’t yet. Season highlight Kane now ranks fifth in franchise history in both goals (312) and points (828). Denis Savard is fourth in goals with 377, and Steve Larmer is fourth in points with 923. It obviously depends on how long Kane plays, but he has a realistic shot at finishing second in points (Bobby Hull is currently second with 1,153) and probably third in goals (Larmer is third with 406 and Stan Mikita is second at 541). Season lowlight Kane went through a five-game pointless streak in February. He also had a four-game pointless streak earlier in the season. He hadn’t gone more than three games without a point in the previous seven seasons. Kane’s last four-game drought came during the 2009-10 season. He had six- and seven-game pointless streaks during the 2008-09 season. Inside the numbers This was the first season Kane had a negative goal differential in 5-on-5 play. He was on the ice for 56 goals for and 69 goals against for a 44.8 goal percentage. His previous worst percentage was 51.28, which came in his second season. Kane worked well with Nick Schmaltz. They had a plus-2 goal differential (33-31) in 747:30 of ice time together. But in his remaining 477:55 of ice time, Kane had a minus-15 goal differential (23-38). Kane had a minus-8 goal differential with Brandon Saad, minus-5 with Patrick Sharp, minus-4 with Alex DeBrincat and minus-2 with Artem Anisimov and Jonathan Toews. Team rank Overall points: 76 (1st) 5v5 points: 46 (1st) Power play points: 22 (1st) Overall goals: 27 (2nd) 5v5 goals: 17 (t-2nd) Overall assists: 49 (1st) 5v5 assists: 29 (1st) Primary 5v5 assists: 20 (1st) 5v5 Corsi percentage (min. 41 games): 51.59 (11th) Quotable Toews on what impresses him about Kane: “There’s a lot of things. The biggest thing is his skill level, but what he’s able to bring every single night. He’s been doing it on such a consistent basis and it doesn’t matter how hot he gets offensively he stays with it, he stays hungry and he just wants to create more and more and a lot of guys can sit back and rest on their laurels or get satisfied, and he’s always trying to get better.” Kane on taking on more of a leadership role this season: “It’s probably evolved over my career here.

  • The Tragic Diagnosis They Already Knew: Their Brother Died with C.T.E
    SPORTS The Tragic Diagnosis They Already Knew: Their Brother Died With C.T.E. Jeff Parker, above, who was drafted by the Sabres in 1982, was encouraged to fight as a pro, his family said. “He didn’t want to do that,” said his brother Scott, who provided this photo. “He just wanted to be a hockey player.” Jeff Parker, who played in the N.H.L. from 1986 to 1991 and died last year at age 53, will be seen as another link between hockey head hits and C.T.E.; the league has denied that such a link exists. By JOHN BRANCH MAY 3, 2018 To the family of the former N.H.L. player Jeff Parker, the posthumous diagnosis of C.T.E., or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, was the predictable conclusion. All those hits to the head, including that final one that knocked him out of the game altogether, and all those subsequent years of struggle? In the final, difficult years before Parker’s death last September at age 53, the family figured that it must be C.T.E. “It just makes me sad,” John Parker, Jeff’s younger brother, said through tears. “It doesn’t bring him back. It just makes you feel sad, that he was living with this, and it’s a thing. It’s a real thing.” To the N.H.L. and its commissioner, Gary Bettman, the diagnosis is likely to be the latest piece of evidence to dismiss or combat. Even as links build a chain bridging the sport to C.T.E., the degenerative brain disease associated with repetitive head trauma, and some of the game’s most revered names push the league to take a more open-minded approach, the N.H.L.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.

  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips April 10, 2015 Sabres-Blue Jackets preview Associated Press April 9, 2015 The Columbus Blue Jackets are finally playing well at home, though it's much too late. They'll look to match a team record with their sixth straight home victory Friday night in their Nationwide Arena season finale against the league-worst Buffalo Sabres. Columbus (40-35-5) moved to 10-0-1 in its last 11 games with Wednesday's 5-0 victory over Toronto. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 35 shots and Scott Hartnell had a goal and an assist. The Blue Jackets improved the league's fourth-worst home mark to 18-20-2, a mark that represents one of their biggest problems. They won six in a row at home from Dec. 26, 2007-Jan. 15, 2008. ''For me, it definitely comes down to our home record,'' said coach Todd Richards, who has matched Ken Hitchcock as the franchise's winningest coach with 125. ''What we need to do is establish our game here at home and make this a tough building to play in." Maybe the biggest issue is that Columbus has exceeded 500 man-games lost to injury. That figure is a team record and the NHL's highest total this season. "One thing about Columbus right now, they're on a roll," Buffalo coach Ted Nolan said. "I think they've won 10 out of the last 11 games. Barring injuries, they would probably be in the playoffs right now." The latest health issue is the wrist and hand of Cam Atkinson, who was reportedly slashed accidentally by a teammate's skate.

  • Dobber's 2010-11 Fantasy Guide
    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.
