    PREGAME NOTES 2019 TIM HORTONS NHL HERITAGE CLASSIC WINNIPEG JETS vs. CALGARY FLAMES MOSAIC STADIUM, REGINA, SASK. – OCT. 26, 2019 JETS, FLAMES FACE OFF OUTDOORS The Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames face off tonight in the 2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic (10 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CST, CBC, SN1, CITY, TVAS2, NBCSN) – the League’s 28th regular-season outdoor game and fifth in the Heritage Classic series. The Jets and Flames each have participated in one prior outdoor game, both under the Heritage Classic umbrella. Winnipeg played host to the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field, falling 3-0 to the Edmonton Oilers. Nine Jets players who appeared in that game remain with the team: Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, Connor Hellebuyck, Patrik Laine, Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey, Mathieu Perreault, Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Current Calgary goaltender Cam Talbot started for Edmonton in that contest, stopping all 31 shots he faced for the third shutout in outdoor NHL game history. Current Jets forward Mark Letestu scored the winning goal (while shorthanded), as a member of the Oilers. And current Flames forward Milan Lucic recorded two penalty minutes for Edmonton. Calgary served as hosts for the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-0. Two players who appeared in that game remain with the Flames: Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano. Overall, the Jets feature 11 players who have participated in a prior outdoor NHL game (minimum: 1 GP in 2019-20), while the Flames have four. Talbot leads that group with four such appearances, though he served as a backup goaltender for three of them (2014 SS w/ NYR [2 GP], 2019 SS w/ PHI).

Kuraly, who scored the overtime winner in Boston’s final outing of 2018 (Dec. 29 at BUF), became the first Bruins player to register a tiebreaking, winning goal in consecutive team games since Brad Marchand did so in three straight contests from March 3-8, 2018. Kuraly now has three game-winning goals in the regular season (122 GP) as well as one in the playoffs (16 GP) – that was scored in double-overtime of Game 5 in the 2017 First Round at OTT (2-0—2). Kuraly has recorded three goals in his past five outings after totaling one through his first 34 games of 2018-19. With the victory, the Bruins (22-14-4, 48 points) – who started the day on the outside of the playoff picture – leapfrogged the idle Sabres (21-13-6, 48 points) and Canadiens (21-14-5, 47 points) to move into third place in the Atlantic Division. COMEBACK TREND CONTINUES IN OUTDOOR GAMES, 2018-19 The Bruins staged the 12th comeback victory in the NHL’s 26 regular-season outdoor games (46.2%).

These changes have made finding undervalued free agents even more important to teams’ general managers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate players and teams with both traditional and advanced metrics to determine how players are valued in comparison to their impact on their team’s performance. A team’s winning percentage is hypothesized to be a function of shooting percentage and save percentage, as well as proxies for puck possession time, such as shots on goal per game, shots against per game, blocked shots, missed shots, and face-off percentage.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and CMCSA Entertainment Conference Sep. 14, 2011 Company ▲ Ticker ▲ Event Type ▲ Date ▲ MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION SECTION Jessica Reif Cohen Great, thank you, Steve. It’s such a pleasure to have you here. You’ve been in control of NBCU for seven months, so a long time. What are some of the – and we’re very happy to have you here. It’s your first appearance to the financial community. So can you discuss some of your key near term and immediate term operating challenges that you face? Which divisions will require your greatest attention and efforts to turn around? Stephen Burke The deal closed in January, January 28, so it has been seven months since we’ve owned the company or owned 51% of the company. But it has been really closer to two years since we knew that we were going to do the deal. The pendency of the deal between signing and closing was 14 or 15 months. So we’ve done a lot of acquisitions over the last 15 years or so growing Comcast Cable. None of the acquisitions were quite like NBCUniversal, but one of our operating philosophies is you have to use the time between signing and closing to really understand the business, understand the employees, make sure that you accept the direction so that you hit the ground running. So we actually named the bulk of the senior management team in September, three months or four months before the close, so that people could on day one have a business plan.

  • Boston Bruins Unveil 2019 Bridgestone Winter Classic Jersey
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Matthew Chmura November 8, 2018 617.624.1913 Brandon McNelis 857.241.8343 Travis Basciotta 617.459.6853 BOSTON BRUINS UNVEIL 2019 BRIDGESTONE WINTER CLASSIC JERSEY BOSTON - Today, Thursday, November 8, at 10:00 a.m., the Boston Bruins unveiled the new adidas adizero Authentic NHL jersey that will be worn by the team for the 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic when the team takes on the Chicago Blackhawks on January 1, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. ET. Paying homage to the Bruins’ 1930’s era uniform, the brown and gold uniform features heritage materials and striping. Highlighting the throwback look, the crest features the classic “B” logo from the team’s Home & Away jerseys, created with a two-layer felt application. To complete the theme, the player names and numbers feature two-layer felt materials. Additional design details include a list of the years that the team has won the Stanley Cup® Championship (1929, 1939, 1941, 1970, 1972, 2011). Each championship year has been set within a shamrock as a nod to Notre Dame Stadium and emblazoned onto the interior neck line. The 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic marks the third time in the 11-year history of the event that the Bruins will have participated and the third time a special jersey has been created. In the 2010 NHL Winter Classic, the Bruins wore a gold jersey with a rounded Spoked-B, reminiscent of the inaugural Spoked-B from the 1948-49 season. In 2016, the Bruins wore a jersey reminiscent of the Bruins first-ever sweater from the inaugural 1924 season, which featured a primary logo of a bear in between the words 'Boston' and 'Bruins.' The Bruins adidas adizero Authentic Pro 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic jersey is available now at the Proshop on Level 2 at TD Garden.
