Welcome to the Maze

Tell me which one is worse Living or dying first Danger Silent - You Should See Me in a Crown

As teenagers, the members of Malachai's Maze rocked stages in and around Windenburg and even had some songs go viral. Well, until most members moved away for college, university, or their jobs as young adults. The band's former singer Cameron Oxford, a successful solo act now, has brought Malachai's Maze back together for Edgewave 2023. For Edgewave, Malachai's Maze will blend both styles for a unique experience. Back Row

This week Laura is joined by friend of the pod Brenton and discuss: what the hell is wrong with the Pens?, we're living for the new passive aggressive Senators, coaches fire sale, Brenton broke Maatta, mandatory Nylander update and your asks!

The more you know: hockey and snus

So, if you’ve ever hung out with hockey players anywhere in the world, you’ll be familiar with something called “snus” or tobacco chew.

It’s oddly popular among hockey dudes, even with elite players in the NHL. There is the loose chew, which is basically just chewing tobacco and then there’s the less disgusting, more civilized “bagged snus” option. Here, the tobacco is stored in tiny cellulose bags that you put under your upper or lower lip for a couple of minutes. 

The general idea is that the nicotine in the tobacco will enter your bloodstream through the thin skin there. It’s supercommon and very popular in Sweden and Finland. Outside of these countries, I’ve only ever seen hockey players do it. (They also react crazy enthusiastic when you go on vacation to a Scandinavian country and offer to bring some back for them...)

Some players even do it during games. Like Erik Karlsson, who even chews on his snus in between shifts. 

Or Justin Schultz, who I’m pretty sure got his snus from bromance-partner and Finnish snus-expert Olli Maatta. (look at Schultz’ pants pocket. You can see the puck-like shape of the snus box)

Sometimes you’ll also see Scandinavian players in interviews and wonder what the hell they are doing with their tongue inside their lips. 

William Nylander is a fine example. Well - you can stop wondering - that dude is sneakily trying to adjust his snus!

So, why is snus so popular with hockey players? No idea. Maybe it’s because it comes in a puck shaped box. Or maybe they all have some sort of oral fixation. But it’s usually really funny to see who of the North American dudes is into it. Usually it’s the ones with Scandinavian buddies/husbands...

(Yes, there’s nicotine in snus, yes, that is unhealthy. It’s also unhealthy to get rammed into the boards every night or to develop a painkiller addiction at 24, because people will rather have you drugged and able to play than drugfree and on IR. So please let’s not treat this like they’re injecting heroin into their eyeballs.)

[dear-indies]

Weird request, but do you have any faceclaims that are gingers? It's so hard to find ginger faceclaims of different ethnicities, body types, etc.

Hey anon! I’m not sure if you only wanted diverse faceclaims only but below are 200+ ginger faceclaims and I have noted the diverse suggestions. Please let me know if you’d like more specific suggestions for example from a certain age range.

Big thanks to @katherine-mcnamara!

David Ornette Cherry - Organic Nation Listening Club (The Continual) - following his father Don Cherry’s musical path (Spiritmuse)

"When I play I think of how the phrases move as a dance, or something in nature like a bird or a shooting star.” – Don Cherry The new album by ‘Cosmic Nomad’ David Ornette Cherry in his father’s tradition, the legendary jazz innovator Don Cherry. This a mosaic of healing soundscapes blending spiritual jazz, leftfield electronica, Eastern & native, indigenous sounds into musical parallels that transport the listener through doorways of ancient pathways to futurist crossroads. This is a phenomenal, unique album, bringing together multi-genre funky, earthy Indigenous sounds, organic soundscapes and cosmic melodies that transport to a higher level where the Ancestors weave their magic and join the cosmic dance! David Ornette Cherry talks about vision and approach and Don Cherry’s remarkable influence as an artist : “When I started my musical journey, my father, Don Cherry, took me under his wings. “To be an Artist/ Musician is a commitment, you must learn the music… own the music you create... and give it back. You must have a vision.” “In my world, the piano, the keyboard, sounds of nature and numerous instruments of traditional peoples and those who reside in urban society, touch and effect each other with a calming and symbiotic fervour. I compose with the idea that all exist in a world of harmonies which mirror life evolving away from the chaotic (to the positive). There's not just a co-existence but a melding of forms to produce a single musical expression.” - David Ornette Cherry David Ornette Cherry – vocal, soundscapes, douss’n gouni, percussions, electronic percussions, piano, keyboards Crystal Blackcreek Carlisle – spiritual message, vocals Gemi Taylor – guitar Joe Janiga – African banjo John L. Price – drums, dun dun, pahkagudu, timpani Kenichi Iwasa – muted trumpet, Don Cherry’s instrument blue reeds Nadene Rasmussen – viola Naima Karlsson – electric piano Ollie Elder Jr – acoustic bass, electric bass Paul Simms – trumpet Ralph Jones III – Vietnamese flute, Norwegian flute Renato Caranto – sax Tyson McVey – vocal soundscapes

NHL Expansion Draft 2021: Full list of players available for Seattle Kraken

The NHL announced the protected lists for the 30 teams involved in the NHL Expansion Draft. (Vegas is exempt.) With the names of those protected come the guys who could be snatched up by the Seattle Kraken. There are a number of big names that have everyone trying to figure out just what general manager Ron Francis will do. Will he take Canadiens netminder, and future Hall of Famer, Carey Price and his hefty cap hit? Is Vladimir Tarasenko the sniper he needs or is his health a big question mark? There's also a number of guys who would fit in nicely but are free agents and the chances of signing them are not high (i.e. Alex Ovechkin).  EXPANSION DRAFT: Date, time, rules & more for Seattle Kraken team selectionRegardless of what Francis, coach Dave Hakstrol and Co. end up doing, there's a good chance the Kraken will be a playoff contender in just their first season. For now, let the intrigue and the guessing WWRFD (that's: what will Ron Francis do?) begin.

Mardie is fearless and she often ends up in somewhat sticky situations that she has to use all her wits to get out of.  She climbs trees, flies aeroplanes and jumps off roofs. But more than anything Mardie is sensitive and has a big heart. From her privileged position she observes the world and notices all the suffering and injustices. She has an endless capacity for empathy and kindness. In that regard she practises what her Dad, the radical newspaper editor, writes about in his paper – solidarity with the poor and vulnerable.“

Oh well, there's only 89. NHL players, let’s see what we got when we add all of my awkward Finnish hockey crushes

90. Mikael Granlund (I literally had his poster on my wall when I was 11. Finland won gold and literally every girl in Finland had #64 on their cheeks the next day)

91. Sebastian Aho (I know his girlfriend a bit too well to simp over him but I also have few pictures with him from the time I was 16 and didn’t know her)

92. I have now cancelled both Kasperi Kapanen and Jesse Puljujärvi but I’ve been a big simp so it makes this 93.

4 players from my favorite Liiga team Ilves

94. Lukas Dostal

95. Eemeli Suomi

96. Ville Meskanen

97. Arttu Ruotsalainen

And then I can literally add 10 guys who play in smaller leagues that I simp for, but they shall not be named here.

So yes, I could name 107 hockey guys I love 😆 didn’t expect it tbh

[kikiskeysgame]

With the Vegas Golden Knights now taking a 3-0 lead in the first round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs after tonight's win, the Blackhawks are dangerously close to getting swept by them.

Although they had a strong third period, it wasn't enough to gain a comeback victory. I'm trying to stay optimistic for the Hawks in the playoffs, but with Vegas dominating the series, I can only imagine that for some Blackhawks fans, staying optimistic is getting hard to do.

In the first period, William Karlsson got the Golden Knights on the scoreboard first (no surprise there because it's not like it's the first time that's happened); by the second period, Vegas had a two-goal lead.

It wasn't until the third period that Olli Maatta was able to get the Hawks on the scoreboard with his 3rd goal of the postseason (with assists by Drake Caggiula & Patrick Kane). Despite getting themselves on the scoreboard, a comeback wasn't in the works for them tonight although they looked better in the 3rd than they did in the 1st & 2nd periods.

The Blackhawks giving up the first goal of the game has developed into a bad habit which has given Vegas the momentum they've been able to carry with them throughout the entire game.

As I've mentioned numerous times before in my past keys to the game, the Hawks need to make sure that they try to get on the scoreboard as soon as they can instead of waiting until the last minute to start scoring goals otherwise it won't be long before the other team scores first which will give them early momentum.

One player that was really working his tail off in tonight's game was Alex DeBrincat. DeBrincat had a few good scoring chances, but neither of them resulted in a goal. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for him struggling to score a goal. It just seems no matter how hard he tries, it doesn't seem to quite pan out for him.

Although the Blackhawks' penalty kill looked very good tonight, their power play... well, it hasn't been looking good lately. 

With the way the Hawks have been struggling to score a power play goal, I look back to Game 1 of the Qualifying Round against the Edmonton Oilers where the Blackhawks had good luck with the power play and think, "Why isn't this happening for the Hawks now?"

With the four power play chances they had in tonight's game, either one of those chances could've resulted in some positive results if the Blackhawks put it to good use instead of squandering it. If the Hawks could be just as a productive with their power play as they are with penalty kill, then I predict that good things will happen for them; if they squander those chances, it won't happen.

Despite my mixed feelings about tonight's game, I still have faith in the Blackhawks; I still believe in them & adore them no matter what, win or lose.

After tonight's loss, the Hawks absolutely need to get into a "must-win" mentality because tomorrow is now or never for them to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Until then, go Blackhawks!

[fromthe-point]

Aleksander Barkov of the Florida Panthers, Sean Monahan of the Calgary Flames and Ryan O'Reilly of the St. Louis Blues were named finalists for the Lady Byng Trophy on Thursday.

The award is given annually to the player voted to best combine sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct and ability.

Barkov, a 23-year-old center, set a Panthers record with 96 points (35 goals, 61 assists), passing Pavel Bure (94 in 1999-00). He led Florida in multipoint games (eight), ranked second in the NHL in takeaways (100) and was tied for fifth in minor penalties drawn (34). Barkov is the fourth Finland-born player in NHL history with at least 90 points in a season, joining Olli Jokinen, Teemu Selanne and Jari Kurri.

He was fourth among forwards in average ice time (22:21) and was assessed four minor penalties and eight penalty minutes, tied for second-fewest in the NHL with teammate Evgenii Dadonov among those who played 82 games. He's a Lady Byng finalist for third time in four seasons and could become the second Panthers player to win the award. Defenseman Brian Campbell won in 2011-12.

Monahan, a 24-year-old center, established NHL career highs with 34 goals, 48 assists, 82 points, 23 power-play points (12 goals, 11 assists) and 211 shots on goal. He was tied with Mikael Backlund first on the Flames in takeaways (78) and second in points per 60 minutes (3.31), third in goals per 60 minutes (1.37) and second in assists per 60 minutes (1.94). Monahan is the second player in Flames history (Kent Nilsson, 1979-85) to score at least 20 goals in six straight seasons. He was assessed six minor penalties totaling 12 minutes.

O'Reilly, a 28-year-old center, led the Blues with 49 assists, 77 points and 0.94 points per game. He led the NHL with 1,086 face-off wins and received six minor penalties totaling 12 minutes, the third fewest of anyone who skated in 82 games. O'Reilly won the Lady Byng with the Colorado Avalanche in 2013-14 and was runner-up with the Buffalo Sabres to William Karlsson of the Vegas Golden Knights last season.

The Pittsburgh Penguins treat their players like shit and that is the worst organization in the NHL. If you want a role model organization you should look up to other teams not that POS that run players out of town such as Pouliot, Oleksiak, Brassard, Reaves, Cole, Hagelin, etc. You run more players out of town that other teams. Fucking embarrassing.

The funniest part of this ask  - apart from you being the anon who doesn’t know anything about hockey who keeps trying to stir up shit in a fandom you’re not in - is that you… like, literally do not know how trades work. They happen, my guy and they happen a fuck ton more across the league than just on the Pens. 

This team’s stellar core famously accepts less than their worth compared to the rest of the league in order to leave cap space for nurturing other talent on their team. They’re not cliquey or snobby and don’t meddle or whine about their lines, sometimes in a lot of fans’ opinions, to their detriment. The whole “Crosby is a coach killer thing” was written in exactly the same vein as people who thought he was washed up the year before starting the teams’ back-to-back wins. It’s no wonder that the coach they have now is the one who listens the most, and the the right coach for them is someone who acknowledges someone like Crosby’s hockey smarts and vision rather than butting heads with him for no reason. 

That almost all of the players you just listed have been on the trading block before the Pens got them - ie, they weren’t wanted on those previous teams. Apparently all of those teams “run more players out of town” than the Pens, bud. Pretty embarrassing for your favorite teams, eh?

But what’s even funnier is that the guys you just listed? Adored the team. Got on amazingly and very quickly. Felt pulled into the fold and given good line positions from the start. Trips away, plane and bus buddies, dinners out, help getting settled in the area, you name it. Which made it not at all fuckin’ fun when the team had to suddenly say goodbye to these guys. 

So here’s a lesson for your budding interest in hockey: GM’s make trades. Not players. 

Locker room situations like Karlsson in Ottawa or Seguin in Boston (as it was) are extraordinarily rare in that they can actually affect a player’s or GM’s decision about their contract. That’s why those situations are so newsworthy: they’re rare as hell and have to be extremely dramatic. (One such case, Phil Kessel, again debunks your theory about the Pens running guys out of town because he’s among the long list of players essentially rehabilitated from their old homes. The Pens do that a lot, actually.) Sorry to dash your Penguins-hate fantasies but that’s never been the case in the Pens locker room. There’s no creepy image-keeping and nobody in the core is threatening bodily harm of anyone else, nor is their spouse. 

And the biggest pieces of Pens news that I’m guessing you won’t have seen to utterly debunk your own ask: 

- GMJR traded Hornqvist’s literal best friend in the whole damn world right after Hagelin’s wife had their baby and the two families wanted to be together most. And he did it to make a point. Sure, Hags production wasn’t stellar at the time but to this day that feels ice cold and I’m not really sure it’s paid off.

- GMJR also left the entire team and two new trades scrambling literal minutes before a huge game against Tampa. Both new guys, Bjugstad and McCann, have been rattled but happy with their hasty integration into the team and McCann especially fared well against his old team. But holy shit was that a wildly stressful thing to throw at a team.

So yeah, if you want a villain out of the Pens then it’s solely on Rutherford, and trust me he’s not popular lately with Pens fans either. But blaming the team would be like saying the Dallas Stars locker room is to blame for how ownership treated Benn. Or that the entire Sens locker room are on Karlsson’s hate list now because of how one player and his wife and terrible management treated him and his own wife. 

This ask isn’t really written for someone like you obviously, but it’s a good backstory for what I wrote here about the peculiar situation in Pittsburgh of the superstars not being more removed from the newer or younger guys on the team. A few folks were interested about that so it’s handy to both laugh at you only just realizing how sports players are traded and it’s A Thing That Happens at varying degrees each season, but mostly as an example of how the Pens - the team - are one of the most welcoming to hard-working humble players but whose legacy and expectations (from fans and management) are intensely high and I honestly believe hurting the entire team to a certain, if small, degree. It’s way too intense - as Brass said, being on a team with that level of expectation and blowback when they lose, it’s too much. It’s expecting old hockey results in modern hockey’s league.

Also, while Sprong may become mature and grow out of not being the next Guentzel (which is Sprong’s own fault, not Guentz’s or the Pens) but that “what about meeeee?” attitude was never going to fly in Pittsburgh. And if you can become friends with and then completely turn on a thorough sweetheart like Olli, then you are definitely the problem. It doesn’t matter if fanboys and hockey media jerk off over Sprong’s still-mediocre production, he would never have found the kind of solo spotlight he wanted on a team where 3-time Cup winners don’t even throw their weight around.
