Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Carlson's "No Look" Shot in 20 Frames

On first look, I wasn't sure if Caps prospect John Carlson had lifted his head while uncorking Tuesday night's tournament-winning OT goal in the WJC finals.

On second look, it's clear he stared down opposing defenseman Colten Teubert for the entire length of his shot...not bothering to peek at the goal mouth until the 20th frame.

Still-shot deconstruction, after the jump.  (Imagine red MS Paint arrows coming out of Carlson's eyes.)

Full clip available from NHL.com at this link.

Rage actually has taken a new job and moved (or is moving), all so he can once again comment on The Rink. OK, maybe not just for that reason. But I’m hopeful he’ll be back soon.

Here’s to America’s colors, the colors that never run.

I saw a “_ese _olors _ever _un” bumper sticker in red and white the other day. It had the red and white stripes of a stylized American flag on one side, with a gap where a field of blue with white stars would look great.

It made me sad. Bumper sticker makers of the world, if you’re going to make “these colors never run” stickers, please pay a little extra and buy the good blue ink.

Funny how everyone thinks of Battle Hymn of the Republic as an American anthem when really it’s a Christian paean:

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish’d rows of steel
“As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal”
Let the Hero born of woman crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on

It was; it was written as a response if you will to “John Brown’s Body”. It’s still more Christian than patriotic in feel, though.

Perception > Reality

And “When the Saints Come Marching In” was originally just a folksy little spiritual with tons of apocalyptic references commonly used in funerals, but now it’s a fun jazz number everyone attributes to New Orleans.

And Tommy Hilfiger used “Fortunate Son” as a patriotic theme when it’s very clearly not.

And one time my brother used my GI Joe action figures to overtake the Autobots’ headquarters, when clearly that would never happen.

A lot of the Canadian postings were “Our best guys are in the NHL already, their best are right there on the ice. How would they be if Stamkos and Tavares were out there?”

And my thought was “Probably better, looking at the result.”

I honestly think that an element of spoiledness played into it. Canada had overwhelming talent and really had it too easy. The US was the only team in that tournament that gave them serious trouble (they never played Sweden). They were too used to winning easy.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
