Via @mkirilenko's tweet, we learned that she is featured in @InStyleRussia's April issue. This is the trailer video of the photo shoot. GoogleTrans of the commentary: As a child, Maria Kirilenko asked to choose between the racket and pointe. Seriously thought, she chose the first and became a star of world tennis, and we decided to [give the Number-14-ranked tennis player another try at her] childhood dream, and invited her to our "choreography" photo shoot. Video: Andrew Skrypnyk (SkripnikFilms) Bella Maria!
Update 3/19: I found an error in there, that I have corrected. The results weren't pasting correctly. Please use this new one instead. I updated my Eastern Conference Playoff Predictor for 2013. I have done a couple of quick tests and it seems like it's working (though the formatting in the prediction table is getting messed up for some reason). Let me know if you find any bugs. Hopefully it's a-ok. Note: if the Boston / TBL game gets rescheduled, I'll have to update this. For now, it's assumed that that game will not be made up.

A wise sociological expert once divided Human get-togethers into three categories: Gatherings, Shindigs, and Hootenannies. With the course this team has been steering, I don't think anyone is feeling quite up to a Hootenanny, but perhaps the People Of Japers can manage a Shindig. Let's assemble at Bar Louie at 5:30 PM on Friday, February 1 before the Flyers game. Everyone is invited -- even that weird Hurricanes fan friend of yours. See you there.

The [Swedish] player that I personally have the highest expectations for is Nicklas Bäckström, that he takes that next step and really establishes himself as a top 5 or top 10 player in the NHL, and that he takes on a bigger leadership role in Washington. That would be great to see.
From the looks of the email chain (and assuming we can bring back Rob and SME), I think we have at least 9 of the original 12 interested in kickstarting the Marleau Runs These Streits fantasy keeper league for another season. The fanshot link will take you to last year's league page, so you can see current rosters. I'll also post the the draft order plus the spreadsheet of swapped picks in the comments.
