How close do you believe you guys are to contending for the Stanley Cup? MG: Well, just getting off to a good start. Last year we had to fight so hard to even make that playoffs it was like we were dead when we got there. If we can get off to a good start and be in the running halfway through the season, not make it so hard on ourselves, I think we’ll be a lot better for going on a run. RO: A lot optimism in Washington revolves around last year’s 65-goal scorer, Alexander Ovechkin. What is it like playing with him? Exactly how much does he impact the culture of the team both on and off the ice? MG: It’s ... I mean you know, everyone knows. He’s the best, or one of the best players in the league. Yeah, anything can happen when he’s on the ice. He’s one of those players that can win you games and it’s just a good thing he’s on our team. more, plus Rod also interviews Georges Laraque and some other NHL topics too… Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:34:50 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Mike+Alexander?rinfoid=69012078 2008-08-26T13:34:50Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Mike+Alexander?rinfoid=68919129 There will be a lot of eyes focused on the nets this year -- not the ones into which Alex Ovechkin, Mike Green, and Alexander Semin are shooting pucks, but the one defended by Jose Theodore. His is not an enviable position, taking over for as close to a sports icon as hockey has ever produced in the Washington community -- Olaf Kolzig. No pressure, eh? Well, this got us to thinking about goaltenders for Stanley Cup winners in the post-Gretzky, four-in-five-years era. We were wondering about their respective journeys in getting to hoist the chalice. Did they dance with who brung 'em (drafted them, that is)? If not, were they seasoned with a long resume before arriving at their opportunity? Were they successful with that club in the first year they arrived? Well, here's the tale-of-the-tape... Eight of 19 Stanley Cup winners in this era were backstopped by goaltenders drafted by that team; nine if you count Chris Osgood's second tour with Detroit. In that respect, the goalie having been drafted by the club winning a Cups doesn't appear to be much of a factor. Of the 10 instances in which the Stanley Cup winner had an "import," only two -- Dominik Hasek and Patrick Roy -- won in their first year with their respective clubs. It is worth noting that in nine of those 10 cases in which a goalie not drafted by the winner was in the nets, the goaltender played at least 266 games with other teams before finding ultimate success. For those of you wondering where Theodore falls out on this...

I’ll be collaborating with Desi Alexander, Mike Bird, and Steve Dempster. Here’s the blog’s purpose: “For the glory of God, in service to the church, this blog exists to promote the study and discussion of biblical theology’s history, methodology, aims, achievements, developments, direction, and points of contact with other approaches to the study of the Bible.” Other contributors may be added later, but for now we’ll be posting together at Biblical Theology . In the initial post the contributors are introduced: “Posting from Ireland, Scotland (by an Australian), Canada, and the United States, we are excited about the international character of this blog, and we hope it will serve you well. We seek to know God in Christ by the power of the Spirit as revealed in the Bible.” Fri, 22 Aug 2008 13:47:00 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Mike+Alexander?rinfoid=68626561 2008-08-22T13:47:00Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Mike+Alexander?rinfoid=68574102 Waukesha - A 56-year-old New Berlin man has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide in connection with a death caused by a heroin overdose, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday.

In short, they say that Joe Lieberman is a serious contender to be John McCain's running mate. Their reporting is consistent with everything I've been hearing. My basic take: If McCain were making the decision alone, and without regard to party and politics, he would choose Lieberman. McCain believes the war -- broadly understood -- matters more than anything and Lieberman understands the war and how to win it better than virtually anyone. He is more comfortable with Lieberman than any of the other VP finalists. And Lieberman is definitely interested in the job. But McCain is not making the decision in a vacuum. And many of his advisers believe Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is the best pick -- both because he would be acceptable to the Republican base and he is a fresh face who cuts into Barack Obama's "change" message. When McCain talked to me last week about the possibility that he would choose a pro-choice running mate, he specifically mentioned Tom Ridge. Although Ridge had been under serious consideration in the days leading up to our conversation, I thought it much more likely that McCain was testing a prospective Lieberman pick than a Ridge pick. (I inadvertently left out of that first story one interesting detail: Lieberman was sitting directly in front of me and McCain when we talked about a pro-choice running mate.) The previous day ABC's Jan Crawford Greenburg interviewed Lieberman. Their discussion was fascinating for several reasons, not least of which was Lieberman's comment that he had not spoken with McCain about serving as his runningmate. A final point: A couple weeks back -- before McCain talked about picking a pro-choice running mate -- one senior McCain adviser told me that it would be a mistake to discount Rudy Giuliani. So I haven't, though I still find that possibility a long-shot. As the Politico piece makes clear, Lieberman is still under very active consideration and it would not be a big surprise if Lieberman was the pick. Still, if I had to put money on it today, I'd bet on Pawlenty or another pro-life candidate who has not been in the speculative discussion of the past two weeks.
