Seventh Heaven Can't Wait the Jets-Pred Series Has Been a Dead Heat Statistically. with a Do-Or-Die Game 7 on the Line, Here Are Seven Keys for a Winnipeg Win Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/seventh-heaven-cant-wait- 482224703.html Seventh heaven can't wait The Jets-Pred series has been a dead heat statistically. With a do-or-die Game 7 on the line, here are seven keys for a Winnipeg win By: Jason Bell and Mike McIntyre NASHVILLE — Most observers figured the playoff matchup of the NHL's top two teams in the regular season would go just pretty much as its transpired — a dead heat. Just three points separated the Central Division rivals through 82 games during the 2017-18 campaign. The Nashville Predators (53-18-11, 117 points) captured the Presidents' Trophy, which is awarded to the league's top regular season team, while the Winnipeg Jets (52-20-10, 114 points) landed just three points back. The squads went head-to-head five times, with the Jets taking a pair, including one in a shootout, and the Preds prevailing three times. In their second-round post-season series, neither team has been able to piece together consecutive victories. The Jets got the early jump, earning a 4-1 triumph on the road at Bridgestone Arena, but Nashville tied the series with a dramatic 5-4 double-overtime win. Winnipeg rallied at home for a wild 7-4 victory in Game 3, only to get bottled up 48 hours later in an expertly executed Nashville game plan and a 2-1 decision for the visitors. Winnipeg exploded for a 6-2 win in Music City in Game 5 but was shut down completely at Bell MTS Place to the tune of 4-0 in Game 6. So, here we are in Game 7, with a spot in the Western Conference final against the Vegas Golden Knights on the line. The Predators will have a loud, boisterous crowd to spur them on, and have experience on their side, advancing all the way to the Stanley Cup final a year ago before losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins. But head coach Peter Laviolette said Wednesday in Nashville that at this stage it's tough to consider any of those things an edge while offering up no predictions of what this final battle may bring. "You know, these games have been played so many different ways that I can’t even venture to guess what that would be. There’s probably a long list of things that need to go well to be successful in a game. There’s a list of things, it could be anything. Specialty teams to goaltending to defence to offence, whatever it might be. You don’t know until you play, and especially in this series, I think the games have been so all over the map that you can’t really put a finger on it and just say, ‘If you just do this one thing, you’ll be fine.’ You try to play a complete game, focus in on that," he said. Jets head coach Paul Maurice said Wednesday there's a quiet confidence within his group. "The message going forward is going to be the one that was delivered all year. There's no big speech or departure from our game. The important one that was delivered all year was enjoy what we do, to have the confidence that you're going to go out there and perform at your best and certainly your best effort. But to enjoy it, the whole part. The nerves before the game, the tension of the game, the excitement of the game. I think it's such an important thing. You can't be on pins and needles. You've got to feel good and be excited about it," Maurice said following practice in Winnipeg. Maurice was at a loss to explain why the road teams have had so much success in this series, winning four out of six games. "I think both are emotional buildings, lots of energy. You get a goal, you get a bit of a lead and sometimes you have an advantage in that. I do think the road team's game has been simpler than maybe the home team. There's not a lot of room for over-passing the puck in this series. It's got to be a pretty direct game," he said. So it all comes down to this. If the Jets can achieve all or even most of these seven things, they'll likely come out on top: 1. Light the lamp first: Nashville has struck first in four of the six games, going 3-1. Winnipeg is 2-0 when they've been able to draw first blood. Both teams are so strong that falling behind early makes it difficult to come back, with the obvious exception of the wild Game 3 where the Jets trailed 3-0 before rallying to a 7-4 win. The early bird may, indeed, get the worm in Game 7. Then again, let's not forget these squads can blitz at a moment's notice. The Jets scored three times in under five minutes in the second period of Game 5 Saturday en route to a 6-2 victory. Winnipeg finished second in goals-for (277) during the regular season, while the Preds were seventh (267). While there's reason to anticipate a defensive battle, don't be shocked if the heavy artillery makes some noise. 2. The 'Buyck stops here: Connor Hellebuyck has shown a remarkable calmness in the nets and has looked particularly sharp after a loss. He seems comfortable in Bridgestone Arena, so the Jets will be counting on the Vezina Trophy candidate to use his big frame to block the net, limit the rebounds and make life difficult for the Predators. "The National Goaltending League is a little bit like that. Over the course of 82, if you have a guy who has a real good night and a guy who doesn't, you can pretty much predict the winner on that. So when you get to an elimination game... goaltending is everything in almost every game. You had lots of chances but didn't score it? The other goaltender was probably pretty good. You think you played really, really well but you had a couple of breakdowns that were in the back of your net? It's all about goaltending anyway. It always has been," Maurice said Wednesday. 3. Halt the Ryan express: Nashville's top line has been tremendous. Ryan Johansen is proving to be a dynamic two-way centre, while the incredible talent of Filip Forsberg and Viktor Arvidsson have repeatedly shined, especially in their Game 6 victory in Winnipeg. Winnipeg needs to find a way to keep the big horses in check and have their own top trio of Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler and Kyle Connor match them every step of the way. 4. Pick apart Pekka: Pekka Rinne bounced back from a nightmarish Game 5 with a rock-solid, 34-save shutout in Game 6. He's been up-and-down all series, including being pulled twice, so the Jets need to find a way to chip away at any confidence he's now feeling. Get traffic in front of him, get shots through from the point and yes, an early goal or two would certainly help the cause. If not, it will likely be another long night at the office for Winnipeg. "It's just the one game, so it's hard. When you think about Game 7, as a team, as an individual, you're just going to give it all and do your best and do it as a team and trust your teammates. I think that's the best formula and focus on your own team," Rinne said Wednesday. OH, SO CLOSE! The numbers don't lie: Through the first six games of the series between the Jets and the Predators, it's simply too close to call in several categories: Home wins: Jets 1, Predators 1 Away wins: Jets 2, Predators 2 Goals For: Jets 22, Predators 18 Even-strength shots: Jets 177, Predators 177 Even-strength shot attempts: Jets 338, Predators 338 Even-strength high-danger chances: Jets 66, Predators 65 PP %: Predators 4-for-15 (26.7%), Jets 4-for-18 (22.2%) PK %: Predators 14-for-18 (77.7%), Jets 11-for-15 (73.3%) Hits: Predators 144, Jets 141 Blocked shots: Jets 97, Predators 97 Faceoffs: Predators 52% (208-192), Jets 48% (192-208) Corsi For (5-on-5): Jets 50.00%, Predators 50.00% Corsi For (All situations): Predators 50.50%, Jets 49.50% 5. Shore up special teams: Winnipeg's power play, a major source of strength all season, was a big letdown in the Game 6 loss. The Jets had three first-period chances and generated little in the way of scoring opportunities. If anything, those six unproductive minutes marked a huge shift in momentum as the Predators got stronger by killing them all off. There may not be a lot of penalties called in Game 7, but the Jets must find a way to win the battle of special teams with cleaner zone entries, better puck possession and retrieval and plenty of shots at Rinne. 6. Go north, young men: At times, Winnipeg appears to have abandoned their typically successful north-sound game in favour of much more high-risk east-west play. Too much dipsy-doodling through the neutral zone, cross-ice passes that are easily intercepted and not enough straight line skating and puck movement. They're making it easy on Nashville to defend.

  • Ang National Hockey League
    ANG NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE Ang National Hockey League o NHL ay itinatag sa Canada noong 1917. Ilang koponan ang sumali at nawala, ngunit anim na koponan ang nanatiling aktibo mula pa sa mga unang araw ng liga. Ang Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers at Toronto Maple Leafs ay binansagan na “The Original Six”. Sa ngayon, ang NHL ay binubuo ng 30 na koponan: pito sa Canada at 23 sa U.S. Ang Liga ay nahahati sa dalawang pagpupulong: Eastern at Western. Ang bawat pagpupulong ay may dalawang pangkat. Mayroong 16 na koponan sa Eastern Conference na kinabibilangan ng pangkat ng Atlantic at Metropolitan. May 14 na koponan naman sa pagpupulong ng Western, na kinabibilangan ng mga koponan sa pangkat ng Pacific at Central. Sa karaniwang panahon, ang bawat koponan ay may 82 na laro, at hinahati sa paglalaro sa sariling bayan at pangdadayuhan. Ang katayuan sa liga ay batay sa sistema ng punto, na kung saan, ang dalawang punto ay ipinagkakaloob para sa nanalo at ang isa, para sa overtime o shootout na pagkatalo. Labing-anim na koponan ang naglalaban para sa kampeonato – na tinatawag na playoffs: ang tatlong nangungunang koponan sa bawat apat na pangkat, at ang dalawa na may pinakamataas na puntos sa bawat pagpupulong. Ang kampeon sa playoff ay siyang pinagkakalooban ng Stanley Cup – ang pinakaantigong tropeo sa palakasang-pangpropesyonal sa North America. PAGLALARO Ang mga panimula sa Hockey ay simple – mag-skate ka, lumusot ka, humataw ka at gumawa ka ng puntos. Ang mga manlalaro ay lumiligid sa loob ng arena ng yelo sa pamamagitan ng skates – boots na may dobleng talim sa gilid ng talampakan nito – na nagpapa- hintulot ng matalim at mabilis na pag-ikot.

Professor Cristina Mislán Professor Sandy Davidson Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Becky Scott MASCULINITY AND THE NHL Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking my committee chair, Dr. Cristina Mislán, for her guidance and help throughout this project, and beyond. From the first class I took at Missouri, Mass Media Seminar, to the thesis itself, she encouraged me to see the world through different lenses and inspired a passion for cross-disciplined study. Her assistance was invaluable in completing this project. Next, I would like to thank my committee members: Dr. Sandy Davidson, Dr. Amanda Hinnant and Dr. Becky Scott. All three members provided insight and feedback into different portions of the project at its early stages and each one made the study stronger. Dr. Davidson’s tireless support and enthusiasm was infectious and her suggestion to explore the legal concerns the NHL might have about violence and head injuries led me to explore the commoditization of players.

    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.

  • For Immediate Release May 13, 2021 Colorado
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 13, 2021 COLORADO AVALANCHE OVERTAKE VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS TO WIN PRESIDENTS’ TROPHY Avalanche finish as No. 1 seed in NHL standings for third time in franchise history NEW YORK (May 13, 2021) – The Colorado Avalanche have claimed the Presidents’ Trophy as the team with the best overall record, winning their final game of the 2020-21 regular- season to overtake the Honda West Division rival Vegas Golden Knights. The Avalanche (39-13-4, 82 points) clinched the third Presidents’ Trophy in franchise history (also 1996-97 and 2000-01) with a victory against the Los Angeles Kings Thursday to pull ahead of the Golden Knights (40-14-2, 82 points). Colorado finished as the top seed by virtue of the regulation wins tiebreaker (COL: 35, VGK: 30). Colorado’s rise to the top of the NHL standings was aided by a 15-game point streak that spanned from March 10 to April 5 (13-0-2) and fell one shy of the franchise record set in 2000-01 – the last time they won the Presidents’ Trophy (and the Stanley Cup). The Avalanche, who had a 4-3-1 head-to-head record against the Golden Knights in 2020-21 (VGK: 4-4-0), then concluded the regular season with a five-game winning streak and franchise record-tying 17-game home point streak (16-0-1 from March 10 to May 13). Colorado is the fifth franchise to win the Presidents’ Trophy three or more times since its inception in 1985-86, following the Detroit Red Wings (6), Boston Bruins (3), Washington Capitals (3) and New York Rangers (3).
