- The ECHL announced the following fines yesterday as a result of the incident in warmups on Sunday.
Allen’s
Dyson Stevenson and Spencer Asuchak and Fort Wayne’s Gabriel
Beaupre have each been fined an undisclosed amount as a result of their
actions during pre-game warm-ups. In addition, both the Allen and Fort
Wayne coaches and organizations
have been put on notice that any further incidents during warm-ups will
result in additional discipline. Here is what Allen coach Steve
Martinson had to say about the incident. "Our players got tired of the
their guys warming up on our side of the ice. It happened in both games.
In 20 years of coaching I have not seen anything like that. Our
position is very clear, if something happens to a Fort Wayne player on
our side of the red line it is on Fort Wayne. There will probably be
more collisions if they keep warming up on our side. Now that the league
has made it clear to both teams there will be a fine if players cross
the red line, that should be the end of the problem."
- The Komets will arrive in Allen today
and they will be taking the bus. No, not the 1000 miles the Americans
travel on Big Red. The account I saw said Fort Wayne will travel by bus
to Chicago (150 miles) and then fly to Dallas.

Here is the latest story from Justin Cohn of the the Fort Wayne Journal
Gazette. A view from the other side titled, "Down 0-2, Komets not
opposed to extra time off".....http://www.journalgazette.net/sports/professional/komets/Down-0-2--Komets-not-opposed-to-extra-time-off-13104388

After the Rougned Odor incident with Jose Bautista of Toronto, Brian
McCormack, Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations for the Idaho
Steelheads talked to Steelheads coach Neil Graham about the baseball
fracas and how it relates to fighting in hockey. It is a great read. http://www.idahosteelheads.com/blog/steelheads-news/speaking-steelheads-scraps/

Below is a story written by Blake Sebring (news-sentinel.com) that
talks about the "Black Aces" in hockey which refers to those players in
the playoffs that are healthy scratches and not in the lineup. They are a
key component to every team and must always be prepared to step in when
needed. Here is Blake's story, "Komets' Black Aces adding more than
depth".....http://www.news-sentinel.com/sports/komets/Komets---Black-Aces--adding-more-than-depth

The Eastern Conference finals resume tonight as South Carolina is at
Wheeling. The series is tied 1-1. It will be interesting to see how the
the Stingrays rebound after blowing a three goal lead in the last six
minutes of game two and then losing in double overtime. Check out this
story written by Andrew Miller from The Post and Courier in Charleston,
"Stingrays put Game 2 collapse behind them as series shifts to
Wheeling.".....http://www.postandcourier.com/20160517/160519451/stingrays-put-game-2-collapse-behind-them-as-series-shifts-to-wheeling
This happened to Ted and I before, and we just had to start from scratch. The next day should be fine. This software is puzzling in so many ways! I tried changing the colors, then I would get it to be red again with white script, but then we could not see the the writing on the draft page. ???????
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary, I created the problem myself when I cut and pasted a couple of sentences from the ECHL press release on the fines from the Sunday warmup incident. That ended up changing everything I wrote after that to black text on red background which is impossible to read. When I tried to correct it I got the black text on white background. Just couldn't figure our how to get it go back to the white text with red background. Everything will be fine tomorrow when I start a new post.
ReplyDeleteThis may be a side effect of copying from a web page, then pasting into Blogger's WYSIWYG editor. It's a common problem when going from web page to Outlook email, as well.
DeleteA trick I use is to copy from the web page, paste into a plain text editor (such as Windows Notepad), then copy from the text editor from Blogger's editor. The stopover in the plain text editor effectively removes the web formatting, leaving you with Blogger's default styling.
Or just wait until tomorrow for the new post! :)
ReplyDeleteBlack Aces are also players called up from lower levels of hockey to be ready to fill a spot due to injury. In the NHL during the playoffs, NHL teams call up some of their AHL affiliate players once the AHL team is out of the playoffs. These guys practice together and stay in shape in case they are needed. It is common and you can google NHL teams calling up their Black Aces.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the continued info Barry.
Good rule I use is to paste into a text program (Notepad++, Notepad, etc.) then copy from there. The text only program can't carry 'formatting' over.
ReplyDeleteThis.
DeleteCorrect. I do this all the time, as stated, it gives you just the text and not the formatting.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the help! It does indeed take a village to keep me from self destructing when it comes to technology.
