Today’s NHL trade deadline came and went, like a rushing NY taxi… (or a newark gunrunner on Market Street next to the ‘rock) There were some movers and shakers, and dealbreaker, and a few not so much moving and shaking clubs too. Breaking it down, the Ollie Jolkenin to the Calgary Flames might be the biggest name move as well as one of the best overall moves of the day.

Breaking down the East, as usual, here’s how it plays out with the splashes, crashes & burns and buoyantly neutral.

Splash
Boston Bruins – Steve Montador might be injured, but he’s an experienced, gritty, slaving veteran and will be back before season’s end – they paid nothing for him and lost a young contract year player in the process which if they take it all the way is not a big loss. Big play was on Recchi, a veteran that completely and totally compliments their current system, hard hitting, street ready, skillful UFA who will be playing for his final cup. Apart from Jolkinen this this the best move of the deadline.

Pittsburgh Penguins – Thinking short term this could work. Thinking longer term, this probably leaves them right back in the same short rink they were this season. Andy Wozniewski is an alight defensive swap that is more a change of scenery than anything else. You can make the argument that Guerin was a big haul, but for a team so desperate for help how is an aging, under-utilized winger going to fill in this team? Yes, he provides the leadership but so did the return of Gonchar. Yes, he can provide a wing spring board for two top flight centers, but then again, so could Gonchar. And, he’s not as fast, nor as vital as say Federov was last year in an old schooler moving to a young team, nor is he the big outlet player to restate play the way Hossa was. Nonetheless he is a good player who could help set a one where a tone needs to be set. This is still a quick fix to a bigger problem but, it might save them embarrassment

Ottawa Senators – Sens picked up Pascal LeClaire, a more than serviceable goalie that will backstop the pipes for at least the next year (if not longer) while Steve Mason is groomed. It is sad for LeClaire who could use a break as a younger goalie to build a team around, but in the text two years with the Sens who desperately need stability in net he can make an indelible mark. It does not solve the Sens short term problems for the season but could be a huge move in development for the next few years.

New Jersey Devils – By doing next to nothing, they probably did everything right for now. They made the biggest no-move move of the season by getting back Marty Brodeur after missing him most of the season. They could use the help on the blue line, but it’s nothing that they need to worry about considering the rest of their play. Nothing to upset the balance of the locker room and the questions about coaching were quelled quickly. So, the hot streak they are on is intact and they can ride it to the top of the Atlantic.

Crash & Burn
Washington Capitals – Honestly, the Caps needed help despite what their records show and with so many closely competitive teams making moves you have to wonder. First, they need a veteran force on the back lines to replace the oft-injured Captain Chris Clark. The could use an extra blueliner to help out the oft-injured Tom Poti and offset the aggressive youth of Mike Green. And, they could you a solid backup goalie to fill in the hole filled by two rotating rookies behind Jose Thedore while Johnson is out. So, why weren’t there moves despite the cap room, especially after a freewheeling year last year? Who knows?… but it does make you wonder this isn’t a SC team this year but they lost nothing for development

Islanders – No amount of rebuilding can undo the disaster this team is, in the midst of rebuilding to begin with. A conditional pick for Guerin?!? C’mon, what is that?!? Dougie Weitght?!?! More than that, what the heck, how are they still holding … Witt, Hunter, etc… and how are they trying to think they can develop Jesse Joensuu and company inside this half assed system… this is a team that has no place lower than, well, my local HS teams.

Flyers – OK, so, you could say the lack of moves was a bad thing, but considering their cap room, there’s not much they could have done, so playing and meddling might have cost them target happiness… they picked up a lame vet blueliner (kyle mclaren) for a pick… they gave up oft-underperforming Upshall for built to be a Broadyway Badboy Daniel Carcillo… this isn’t a bunch of one-time moves, but they are not exactly putting themselves in a longer term position either, thankfully beat-em-down mentality stays put but doesn’t really advance them.

New York Rangers – Premoves the Avery’s record with teams is undeniable. Ok, so, well, apart from that… the potential for him to reinvigorate a lackluster team is there… But… how are the deadline picks going to help that?!? Kalinin, Dawes and Prucha are all end of contract, but Prucha alone is worth more than Derek Morris, seriously. Add in giving up youth picks for Nik Antropov? Ok, well, Tornoto won’t do crap with them, but really, NYR is willing to bargain next season for what, a chance at first round elimination this season?

Canes – The dual 2nd round picks to move Eric Cole back to the team plus losing O’Sullivan seems strange. The ‘Canes seem to be trying to leverage a last ditch effort at making the playoffs this season. Now, if only they were able to pull off the rest of the moves… chances are they are working backwards from a B-level Devils team to where they are now

Toronto – How useless was Nik Antropov as a vet to unload salary for two pics that the team isn’t in a place to use anyhow?? Then losing Domi Moore for a pick??? does this team have a clue? Maybe they should ask obama for some rebuild money on the next help session

Buoyantly Neutral

Buffalo – Mikael Tellqvist fixes the Ryan Miller situation as a patch, but not really a great fit as a UFA considering they probably won’t resign him, probably can’t ride him into the post season and might loss a pick that could do more in the mid-term. Getting Dominic Moore was a good move but he’s a UFA so it might buy them this season but unless they dedicate the signing him longer term the vote will still be in the same jello state they were this season. Ales Kotalik was a vet, but a player that underachieved with them and could bring up youth in picks they need.

Atlanta – Lost an uninspired move on Erik Christensen (to the West, where he should ultimately do more good) and got O’Dell, who only time might tell. Did nothing else, look like blind looking for bling with a set of dark sunglasses

Florida – I love the Steve Eminger move (ex-Cap / Flyer) for them in the fact that it should give them short term defensive pickup and in holding Jay Bouwmeester the basically contrived a ballist for the team. They didn’t lose anything but they didn’t gain any advantage, other than that of holding off most of their SE division rivals while doing nothing to really advance on the rest of the conference or make a real mark on the Caps.

Tampa Bay – The dump begins (though the heavy off-shitting didn’t occur). Dropping Recchi unloads huge salary but then again he was a UFA so it could come off anyhow. The return was a pair of young, untested defensivemen in a division that is going to get tighter on D in the coming years and both are UFA too! Did nothing good Noah Welch + 3rd round pick for Eminger, but did nothing bad either in loosing Recchi (-15), Kolzig (oft-injured backup since doing 70+ game seasons with the Caps for a decade), concussion prone Jamie Heward, dud Andy Rodgers and a pick. The deals are leary at best but considering, somehow, they managed to maintain underachieving Malone, LeCavalier, St. Luis as a first line plus familiar and productive ex-Caps Pettinger and Halpern and Marek Malik on D still gives them a potential backbone despite shedding excess. The cross-conference gain of Matt Lashoff & Martins Karsums might, just might, help that awkward Isles-esque rebuilding.

As we begin closing in on closing in on the mid-way point to the National Hockey League season it is time, once again, to contemplate how the teams are achieving. I (eric doormouse) will admit, from the pre-season analysis there’s been some headscratching on my part trying to determine what exactly is happening with some of these teams, I bought into the hype (Pittsbugh), I overestimated (Ottawa) and didn’t see it coming (Boston), but I also called a few of them fairly dead on and am all-in-all very happy that the 40 game mark finds the league’s teams and standings looking like they do.

Obviously, focusing on the Eastern Conference here are the teams in my analysis ranking, along with my predictions and their current status. Enjoy and keep a look out for the All-Star analysis and Bettmann bashing coming up soon

Brues – current 1 EC 1 NED
Beantown hockey is at its finest in years: first and first status plus second in the league in points, double digit win streak, lead in the league in goals for and have the lowest goals against in the east and the list of accomplishments goes on and on. What makes this team special is the fluidity in which they play. It’s smooth on the transition with a solid mind to the defense and a smart offense (with the top three guys in plus/minus in the league) that focuses on taking advantage of mistakes and relying on Tim Thomas’ unorthodox netminding. If they can solve Buffalo in the east they should have a good run in the second half, including a huge homestand through January.

Caps – current 2 EC 1 SED
The most impressive thing in Washington right now is the other man with the O, Ovechkin. After a slow start to the year, the streaky Russian winger has put on a show on the ice, tied for most goals, second in points, among the lead for assists and even when he’s not on the puck he’s throwing the big check and leading the team by example. Take into account just before New Years the Caps were without 9 of their starters (and are still missing the services of Poti, Federov, Ernskine, Pothier and Fleishmann) they are finding ways to overcome adversity. If they can overcome the holes in the defense and play a complete sixty minute game with focus and intensity they might ne’re be unbeatable coming off the best first half in team history.

Flyers current 3 EC 1 AD
The city of Philly cannot be prouder right now, they have most of their pro-sports set up and the Flyers are more than holding their own after a long climb to the start after a 0-3-3 start to the season. The league’s leading scorer, Jeff Carter, is holding his own while captain Mike Richards is providing the leadership to overcome the injuries which have continued to stack up on the team (8 guys out over New Years including Simone Gange, Daniel Briere and Derian Hatcher). The physical play has picked back up but it’s more than the hard checking, it’s the timely scoring and the resurgence in the netminding that’s really helped. With the rest of the division struggling with its identity, the Flyers are coming together at the right time.

Habs current 5 EC 2 NED
Despite the crazy All-Star voting that allowed an excessive number of Canadians players to appear on home ice for the event, the Habs are not the powerhouse they could be this season. Carey Price has done well in goal despite nagging injuries, but the real story for Montreal will be how they continue to deal with injuries to captain Saku Koivu as well as Alex Tanguay, Chris Higgins decimating their top lines. Thus far, the answer has been defense, which has kept the goals against down, but the need to stay fresh and complete games is still a concern. Streaky in nature they are right up there with the Caps when it comes down to getting lost in their own gameplan and not playing with intensity and focus for every game, every night.

Devs 6 current EC 3 AD
New Jersey is contending with the loss of Martin Brodeur by proving inspiring defense still wins games. What’s more impressive about the Devils this season however is they didn’t fall back into a completely defensive minded trap and are relying more and more on their ability to control the puck and create scoring chances, netting among the top ten goals for in the Eastern Conference, a situation they are unacustomed to, led by the youthful Zach Parise and a resurrgent Patrick Elias. They are still underrated in the standings comparred to what they have going for them, but playing the least number of games in the first half means they will face the denser schedule later on.

Rangers current 4 EC 2 AD
It was only a matter of time before teams caught up to the Rangers in the schedule and that points lead was flattened out. Despite the hot start, the questions about how this newly recrafted team would ultimately gel are best presented by the higher goals against than goals for demonstrating the holes in the defense as well as the lack of a definitive plan for an offense that is missing a game changing forward. The blueshirts need the pieces to start to come together in the second half and find their team identity or it could be a long road to the playoffs.

Sabes current 8 EC 3 NED
When there is focus on fundimental hockey the work ethic of this group of players can help dominate a game, but when they try to do to much and forget the basics of solid hockey, especially on defense things still seem to fall apart. The team is riding Thomas Vanek so far, but he can’t carry them alone and the rest of the forwards need to step up with intensity and win the battles on the boards, especially through the neutral zone to control the puck. There’s still a lot of potential for the Sabes and those bottom spots for the playoffs are anything but secure with 10 points separating the 5-11 teams.

Canes current 7 EC 2 SED
The coaching change seems to be having its desired effect creating a more centered and focused team that plays tighter and more secure with the puck. If they can continue to generate scoring chances when necessary using the skills of Ray Whitney and Eric Staal there is a good foundation to work with while they transition to being a more defensive minded unit, which will help sheild the occasionally shakey Cam Ward. Once the ‘Canes settle into the Paul Maurice style again they will provide the East with a much needed defensive thrust, but the question is can they find the balance this season to remain competitive.

Pens – current 9 EC 4 AD
My, how the mighty have fallen. The lack of leadership is glaring on this team and the fustration is starting to become a plague in the lockerroom and on the ice. Just ask Sidney Crosby who’s scoring production has fallen off as of late while his questionable fighting techniques (a shot to the family jewels and a sneak attack on a guy with his head down for a faceoff) have some wondering why Bettmann has yet to call him out for dirty plays. The littany of issues is astounding, from a lackluster powerplay to no transition springboard from the defensive zone. It isn’t a lack of tallent, it’s the lack of continuity that created this skid to medocrity. The real question now is if their youthful leader can inspire them back to greatness before season’s end or if the post-Cup appearance slump going to be a burden as they slip and slide into the playoffs.

Fla current 10 EC 3 SED
The Cat is out of the bag, the Panthers are definitely a better team than what they are given credit for as they continue trying to build a team out of nothing. It might be time to bring back the rats to the stadium to take them to the next level, or at least decide on a goalie between the streaky Craig Anderson and Thomas Vokoun and figure out how to more effectively rally their offense around Nathan Horton, David Booth and Richie Zednick on the first line. When those guys are on there is a lot of potential for the team, but they’ve yet to find a groove to skate in together.

Leafs current 11 EC 4 NED
Toronto is terrible on the power play pretty much on both sides, so any success they find is something to be excited about. Bright spots on a team this mis-managed are tough, but considering how bad the balance of teams are below them the fact they are as close to hanging in for a possible playoff spot is mindboggling. The lack of defense in even strength is hurting them but when they get offensive momentum they seem to find ways to thrive off of it. If they can balance themselves out there is potential now that they Mats Sundin era is officially behind them.

Sens 12 current EC 5 NED
The only thing saving Ottawa right now is the unbalanced beginning to their season playing the least number of games in the East to this point. The long slide down to the bottom is exaspirated by the lack of offense. The team’s anemic offense is last in the league and is showing no signs. Light offense is normally acceptable with a dominant defense but the defense and goaltending has not been anything to write home about either, providing neither an inspiring backstop or any kind of strong transitional play to help springboard the struggling forwards. With no signs of improving anytime soon the only hope for the Sens might be to plan for next year early.

Atl current 13 EC 4 SED
If the Thrashers are looking for luck to carry them they should know, she’s a jealous mistress. If they don’t play with any kind of entheusiam she’s foresake them for someone else. The few wins they’ve posted looked more like luck from a little extra effort in play and less like a team that is truly inspired to win, but at least they aren’t giving away wins as lightheartedly as they had been earlier in the season.

Isles current last and last
Well, it finally happened, the Isles found their way to the basement. It might be short lived depending on how some other teams fair in the second half, but due to the unbalanced schedule facing the rest of the Atlantic Division won’t make their plight any easier from here on out. When you hit bottom, in theory, there’s no place to go but up. Let’s see how hard they bounce, my guess is it’ll be more like a soggy sponge and less like a rubber ball.

Bolts current 14 EC 5 SED
Someone might want to tell Tampa Bay where the defensive blue line is. Even before they were decimated by the recent injuries, they never seemed quite sure where it was. What makes it worse is a team that sports forwards Vincent Lacavlier, Martin St Louis, Jeff Halpern, Mark Recchi, Matt Pettinger and Ryan Malone can’t score, at all. They feature the second lowest goals for in the league and the worst plus/minus rating.

“Sabes, he escuchado la historia de un amor que en tiempos remotos entre dos seres existió,

Su amor llego a ser tan fuerte que el mismo dios lo prohibió,

Condenándoles a mantener vivos el día y la noche,

Pero a dios algo se le olvido, y fue que justo durante el retiro del sol y el despertar de la luna existen un par de minutos durante los cuales los enamorados se podían encontrar,

Y con el paso del primer día a noche se consumo su amor,

En aquel instante aconteció el más hermoso atardecer,

Del cual nació un magnifico ser,

Una mujer cuya belleza nadie puede siquiera llegar a comparar,

Esta majestuosa creación, posee unos ojos tan brillantes como el sol,

Unos cabellos tan negros como el anochecer,

Y una voz tan dulce que enternece a las estrellas mismas”,

Esta historia nunca la pude creer,

Pero hoy algo cambio,

Vi a quien perfectamente podría ser el fruto de aquel amor,

Y ceo que mi apreciación se equivoco,

Tal vez aquella historia sea verdad,

Y si no igualmente seré yo quien te quiera y ocupe tu corazón.

Bueno, y después de 5 años me vuelve oootra vez el mismo correo, así que sigamos difundiendolo (me niego a mandarlo, pero así lo recuerdo, jeje)

63. … no importa cuanto te esfuerces por hacer tu mejor diseño, alguien siempre dirá “porque no le pones esto”, “¿y si le cambias aquí…?”, “yo creo que ” o “pero si….está bien”
64. … dejas de ver a otros seres humanos por meses aunque para ti solo ha sido un día.

66. … siempre tienes la tonta idea de que tu trabajo finalmente será reconocido.
67. … Nace tu nuevo sobrinito y dices “¿mi hermana estaba embarazada?”

¿Qué es la realidad? ¿Cómo la percibimos? ¿Podemos modificarla a través de la mente? ¿Qué o quién es Dios? ¿Y nosotros…? 14 destacadas personalidades del mundo de la ciencia y la espiritualidad intentan dar respuestas a éstas y a otras preguntas para abrir nuevos caminos a nuevas posibilidades.

Después del éxito cosechado por “¿Y tú qué sabes?” y tras una gira interminable de conferencias y proyecciones de la película siempre acompañadas de coloquios maratonianos, los directores de la película se dieron cuenta de que la gente, básicamente, quería más. “¿Y tú qué sabes? Dentro de la madriguera” es una versión extendida de 2 horas y media de duración en la que por fin sus creadores pudieron incluir todos los temas que querían aportar desde el principio: 20 minutos de una nueva animación, nuevas entrevistas y nuevos conceptos para añadir más leña al fuego de la física cuántica y sus posibilidades. CUANDO TE PREGUNTAS SI ERES FELIZ, ES QUE NO LO ERES Krishna Murti.
