La missione alleata O'Regan in Val Sangone

I primi contatti fra Alleati e brigate della val Sangone risalgono all’inverno 1943, quando Carlo Mussa Ivaldi (detto ingegner Marelli) si incontrò in borgata Rosa, presso Coazze, con i comandanti partigiani per organizzare l’espatrio in Svizzera degli ex prigionieri inglesi. L’occasione è sfruttata per chiedere a Marelli il lancio di armi, cosa che però non si realizza.Il secondo contatto…

San Francisco Silent Film Festival Opens July 12 with a “Swashbuckler.”

As France is currently struggling with violent social turmoil on the streets of Paris, it’s perhaps unusually fitting that the 26th annual San Francisco Silent Film

Festival opens on July 12 with the 1929 classic “The Iron Mask.”

From the musings of philosophers like Voltaire and literary works of writers like Alexander Dumas, the political and social atmosphere of France has always been frothed and complex, and few stories express it so rivetingly as the legend of “the man in the iron mask,” upon which both Voltaire and Dumas got their inspiration. And from which, the 1929 film is loosely based.

Initially released as a sequel to the 1921 hit "The Three Musketeers,” the film “The Iron Mask” was also swashbuckling actor Douglas Fairbanks’ ‘goodbye’ to the genre that had made him a major star as “talking pictures” took hold.

Mostly his departure was due not so much to the advent of “talkies” as it was to Fairbanks’ declining health. Live music to accompany “The Iron Mask” will be by the Guenter Buchwald Ensemble with Masaru Koga on saxophone, and Frank Bockius on percussion.

Film historian Jeffery Vance will introduce the film at the festival’s Wednesday opening at 7:00 PM at the Castro Theater.

The Castro Theater is one of the last remaining movie theaters in the United States of the silent film era.

SFSFF key staff will be present at the opening such as Artistic Director Anita Monga, Executive Director Stacey Wisnia, Senior Film Restorer Kathy Rose O’Regan. Also attending the Opening Night event will be Patrick Stanbury, representing Photoplay of London, whose team is responsible for the recent digital restoration of “The Iron Mask.”

The largest and most prestigious festival devoted to silent film in the Americas, SFSFF this year will present twenty-three programs, all with live musical accompaniment, including fifteen recent film restorations.

Seven of those restorations will make their North American premieres at the festival—among which are three SFSFF projects.

Just like today, the early days of film was something that fascinated people from all walks of life. Even back then, more than 100 years ago, people in many places made films. It wasn’t just in the United States.

Seven countries are represented at this year’s festival with films from Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, & Soviet Ukraine.

More than 30 extraordinary musicians from around the world will be accompanying the screenings.

The Musicians include:

Wayne Barker (US), Frank Bockius (Germany), Guenter Buchwald (Germany), Stephen Horne (UK), Masaru Koga (US), Utsav Lal (UK), Will Lewis (US), Ben Model (US), the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra (US), Maud Nelissen (Netherlands), and the Sascha Jacobsen Quartet (Argentina/US).

Also, this year’s SFSFF 2023 is dedicated to the memories of SFSFF cofounder Stephen Salmons and longtime board member Russell Merritt.

When founders Melissa Chittick and Stephen Salmons put on the first San Francisco Silent Film Festival 26 years ago in 1996, 1,800 people attended the one-day, three-film event.

Over the years, annual attendance at SFSFF events has grown to more than 25,000 with dozens of seldom seen films screened.

With five days of programs from the festival opening on July 12 to the closing on July 16, movie fans of all kinds will be entertained and amazed at the mastery of the early days of filmmaking; and will no doubt see how much the pioneers of film helped pave the way for the “blockbuster” HD “special effects” movies we enjoy today.

Michael O’Regan in Yellow

Michael O’Regan has been selling the Echo newspaper in this spot on Patrick Street, Cork since 1969. He was a familiar sight to generations of Cork people. I haven’t seen him in a long time, and this photo was taken in 2006. The latest information I can find on him is a photo taken of him in January 2020 when he met the Lord Mayor of Cork, John Sheehan.

I just finished putting together Issue 19 of the magazine! I've learned so much from the process of working on this issue, and I've met so many new people along the way, so I'm thrill to finally share it with you all. Since putting out issue 18 in the January, I've been working on various projects between New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and slowly piecing together this issue along the way. I feel like recently I've become more and more consumed and involved with the work of the artists I've been able to talk to through FORGE, and it's led to some collaborations that I'm excited to share later on in the year. As I take more opportunities to make personal work or produce work with other artists, I'm excited to see how it'll affect the shape the magazine takes in the future. In a lot of ways this issue gives some foreshadowing to the ways I hope to support more artists in the future and the role the magazine will have in creating a platform for unique projects! Thanks so much to everyone who has committed any time or energy to making this issue possible! I'm so glad I had the chance to include all of the artist that are featured in this one, and I hope you enjoy learning more about their work! It's been a crazy undertaking, and I hope that each of you can take something valuable away from this one!

These real estate players have raised a bundle for Biden

Scott Rechler is a self-described “longtime Biden supporter.”

But the RXR Realty CEO is one of dozens of real estate powerhouses who have raised big money for the former vice president’s 2020 presidential campaign.

In a Friday news dump on Dec. 27, Joe Biden’s team released a list of 259 “volunteer fundraisers” — individuals who had raised at least $25,000 for the campaign. In addition to the world of entertainment and politics, numerous real estate players dot the list.

An analysis by The Real Deal identified at least 35 people who have significant real estate industry ties, including Los Angeles developer Jeff Worthe, head of Worthe Real Estate Group; and billionaires Neil Bluhm, the Chicago real estate mogul who is now managing director of Walton Street Capital; and George Marcus, founder and chairman of Marcus & Millichap.

David Birdsell, a professor at Baruch College’s Marxe School of Public and International Affairs in New York, said the number of contributors could have been far higher.

“I think it is significant that only 35 people in this industry have raised $25,000 or more” for Biden he said, while noting that the real estate industry traditionally skews Republican.

Biden’s backers The three-dozen industry movers on Biden’s $25,000 and up list come from across the U.S.

Some of the others include Miami investor Michael M. Adler, whose Adler Group has developed and acquired more than 20 million square feet of industrial, office and retail space, and over 8,000 residential units. Another big name is Thad Wong, who co-founded @properties, Chicago’s dominant residential brokerage. The firm was No. 1 in the city with $6.54 billion in sales, according to a TRD March 2019 ranking.

Wong and Bluhm each hosted separate fundraisers for Biden at their homes in September. At the event in his downtown Chicago home, Bluhm introduced the former vice president, telling guests that rival presidential candidates Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders “don’t represent the Democratic Party” he supports, adding he thought Biden had the best shot at defeating President Trump.

“Mr Bluhm is right,” Sanders later responded in a statement to CNN. “The Democratic Party I represent is the party of the working class — not billionaires.”

Biden’s campaign did not explain the timing of its Dec. 27 disclosure — the list’s release was not required — and did not respond to questions from TRD about whether there were any potential conflicts among its contributors.

“At a national level you’re going to see much less concern for taking real estate money than you might in New York City, where it is such a hot-button issue,” Birdsell said. Corporate money and financial-services money caused greater alarm, he said.

Barry Gosin, the CEO of Newmark Group was also on the list; as was Bruce Mosler, chairman of global brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield; Bob Clark, CEO of Chicago-based development and construction firm Clayco; Martha Karsh, co-founder of Beverly Hills-based Clark & Karsh — an architecture, design and development firm — and Stewart W. Bainum Jr., chairman of Maryland-based Choice Hotels International, which franchises more than 7,000 hotels in 40 countries.

Tom Hendrickson, a North Carolina real estate investor and developer, is another top bundler. Hendrickson confirmed he had raised funds for Biden but declined to comment further, when contacted over LinkedIn.

David R. Topping, a Miami-based partner at ABC Properties, said he was a lifelong Republican who decided to back Biden, after supporting Trump in the last election. “I’m delighted to ask other friends of mine who have been lifelong Republicans to join also,” he said.

Mitchell Berger, a founder of the Florida law firm Berger Singerman, was also on the list. The firm has a significant real estate practice group and has helped negotiate hotel acquisitions, in addition to representing firms like New York-based Terranova Properties and private prisons operator Geo Group. Thomas Safran, whose Safran & Associates is a prolific developer of luxury and affordable housing in Southern California, is another.

Q4 fundraising haul

On Jan. 2, Biden’s campaign announced it had raised $22.7 million in the fourth quarter. The figure was more than previous months and was $1.5 million ahead of what Warren took in. But he still lagged former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigeig; and was far behind the $34.5 million Sanders collected.

And unlike Sanders, who released a $2.5 trillion housing plan in September, Biden has yet to offer a comprehensive housing plan. He has stated previously that he wants to make it easier to build denser affordable housing near public transportation, has pledged to increase the energy efficiency of low-income housing and has said he wants to house all formerly incarcerated people.

First cycling tour?

Are you planning your cycling tour for the first time? You need guide?

Who We Are

The Burren Way Mountain Bike Tours is based in Doolin, County Clare, Ireland. Owned by Patrick O’Regan and his wife Kelly (that’s me!), we provide exciting guided mountain bike tours in and around the Burren and North Clare.

We are passionate about County Clare and The Burren, and we are determined to give all our visitors a truly exhilarating Irish experience. Not only are we offering a thrilling way to see the countryside, but we also offer insight into the area’s vast history and provide helpful travel tips to make your trip to Ireland unforgettable! So let us show you around!

First cycling tour? Here are useful tips and guidance to enjoy cycling holidays in Ireland - Pack your sunscreen and suitable clothes for all weather.

What to Bring

While we provide all the cycling equipment needed on our tours, here is a comprehensive list of what you need to bring on the day.

1) Dress for the weather, any weather! We recommend layers, with a light rain jacket overtop. Wear comfortable bottoms, like shorts with leggings, hiking trousers or something fairly wind/rain/sun proof. Shoes are just as important. So wear something you normally wear to hike or walk in (as we will be doing some hiking as well).

2) Bring a small, light backpack. You don’t want to be bogged down with a heavy load on your back, so something just light enough to carry some snacks, sunscreen, camera, extra light clothes/hat etc.

3) Snacks and drinks are very important! You will want to bring water (we have water bottle holders on each bike), and extra fluids (whatever you like to drink when exercising – more water, energy drinks etc). You will also need to bring high energy snacks and fruit to keep your sugar levels stable. Energy bars are great and can be purchased in any large grocery store. If you feel like having a picnic, bring a packed lunch along with you.

4) Sunscreen is something many travellers to Ireland forget about. While we might not get a lot of sun, when we do get it, it is hot and you can burn very easily. Not a good memory to take home.

5) Certainly bring a camera, or whatever device you use to take photos or videos! We will be showing you some amazing sights on our tours, and you won’t want to forget it!

CANTLON'S CORNER: WOLF PACK 2020-21 SEASON

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - With the 2019-20 AHL and Hartford Wolf Pack season officially canceled, talk changes from what could have been, to what awaits at the next training camp that should start at some point in the final months of 2020. For the New York Rangers, their off-season decisions are many and plentiful. The NHL's proposed salary cap which was projected to be between $84 and $88 million two weeks before the pandemic outbreak is out the window as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Roster decisions will now be even harder for every team's management to handle once that actual number is decided upon. The Rangers have an excess of defensemen as they did last year. There are 19 defensemen in the system and only 12 can dress between the AHL and NHL. Some are heading elsewhere. In New York, Jacob Trouba, Marc Staal, Ryan Lindgren, Brendan Smith, Adam Fox and Tony D’Angelo have the top spots. Staal and Smith each have one year remaining before they reach UFA status. D’Angelo is now an RFA coming off a solid potentially shortened season. Lindgren will be an RFA after next season. In Hartford, there's Libor Hajek, Yegor Rykov, and Sean Day, who are all entering the last year of their entry-level deals. Hajek is at a crossroads. After making the Rangers out of camp last year, he missed 20 games with an injury was supposed to be in Hartford on injury rehab, but never made it back to Broadway. Day started the year in Hartford, then was sent to the team's ECHL affiliates, the Maine Mariners for the remainder of the season in favor of Rykov, who was a upcoming player. Rykov’s stock fell precipitously at the end of the year. He was a healthy scratch in nine of the last 10 games including the last game the Pack played on March 11th against the Providence Bruins. The team elected to play a freshly signed rookie, Zach Guitarri, from Brown University (ECACHL) instead. Rykov could be dealt this summer if the right offer comes along. Rykov was unhappy about how things were progressing with the knock-on him, according to several sources, was his skating. It's not out of the question that Hajek could also potentially be involved in a package deal. Darren Raddysh and Brandon Crawley are both RFA’s this summer. Both Vincent LoVerde and Mason Geersten were already locked up when they signed one-year AHL deals a short time ago. Raddysh played well on both sides of the puck, as did Loverde. They were the number one shutdown tandem for two months. He would appear to have earned himself another one-year deal. After a good training camp, Crawley spent the majority of the season in Maine. LoVerde was very well-respected in the locker room as well as with the coaches. In fact, he played with every defenseman the Wolf Pack had on their roster this season. Geersten proved to be worth his weight in gold and earned a contract coming in as a non-roster invitee. He was the best body-checker on the team and a true heavyweight who took care of the "physical" business and was another solid veteran signee that stabilized the locker room. Both players earned deals with Geersten seeming to deserve a one-way, NHL money deal. The Rangers signed K’Andre Miller to a three-year, entry-level deal just before the season was suspended. Tarmo Reunanen, who was signed last year but played in Finland, enters year two of his three-year deal. In the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), Nils Lundkvist is coming off a strong year and at the WJC. There's also the aforementioned Guitarri. The problem for Reunanen and Lundkvist coming to North America is that in Europe, COVID-19 hit very hard and the question is where or not they will be able to come across the Big Pond because of possible visa issues. Earlier this week, the EU (European Union) discussed an immunity visa that could be issued and there is a whole panoply of security and civil liberties issues that could potentially follow that. It's a total unknown and it's highly possible both could stay in Europe for another year. Defenseman Matt Robertson, from Edmonton (WHL), will likely be signed to a standard three-year, entry-level deal very soon. Among the defenseman only Nick Ebert is the only UFA-Group 6 free agent. It's not likely that Ebert will be re-signed. He could end up elsewhere in the AHL or Europe. In the forward category, there are significant players who are Group 6 UFA’s. the Pack's leading scorer, Vinni Lettieri, and Danny O’Regan. Team captain, Steven Fogarty, is a UFA. Despite possessing a cannon of a slapshot, Lettieri could sign elsewhere. His stock fell in the Rangers' eye over the last year-and-a-half. O’Regan, an old friend of Rangers head coach David Quinn from their BU days, was highly regarded by the Wolf Pack coaching staff. He will likely get a one-or-two year AHL deal in the neighborhood of $300,000K. Then there's Fogarty. He was a solid captain who played through illness and injury. Near the end of the season, he wasn’t putting up with some of the lethargic play that crept back into the lineup and called out his teammates. He could receive another one year, one-way NHL deal, but he will likely test the market. He will get offers and will likely head elsewhere. There are four RFA’s on the roster. They are Boo Nieves, Ryan Gropp, Dawson Leedahl, and Gabriel Fontaine. Gropp, a former second-round pick, after being assigned to ain't took a three-week sabbatical early in the season. He returned to Maine and worked his way back up to the Pack lineup. He played well, but didn’t produce enough points, He could be departing as well. Leedahl spent most of the season in Maine and likely will not be back. Coming off of season-ending, left shoulder surgery, Fontaine will likely get a one-year AHL deal. Nieves is a tough call. He played very well, tallying 12 points in 10 games before suffering from severe migraines. He played just one game the remainder of the year. He was a last-minute scratch in what was to be his second consecutive game. Nieves is a tantalizing talent, but the Rangers pigeonholed him as a defensive center, which didn’t work. He's now 27 and on a one-way, one-year, $700K NHL deal. It isn't likely he will be offered another deal. A really solid player and person, he will likely migrate elsewhere. Entering, the last year of their deals, are the most improved player last season in Tim Gettinger, as well as Ty Ronning, Patrick Newell, Nick Jones, and the wildest of wild cards, a former first-round pick, Lias Andersson. Andersson's unexpected departure back to Sweden on November 18th, not surprisingly, earned him organizational scorn, however, some are said to be still willing to give him another chance. Andersson wasn’t a malcontent but made a rash, impulsive, and immature decision that put him in a box. Inside sources indicate he had a bit of an emotional breakdown two weeks before bolting. The self-imposed stress of having to live up to his being the number seven overall draft pick and producing very little results weighed heavily on him. Unless a larger trade deal is constructed that he's a part of, or he has some huge reversal in his behavior, he'll likely spend the final year of his original deal skating on the bigger surfaces in Sweden. The other first-round pick returning for year two is Vitali Kravtsov, who had a difficult first-year. He went back to Russia after just five games, came back, and showed only glimpses of his skill that made him a seventh overall draft selection as well. He was too inconsistent and did not get enough puck time and his willingness to take a hit to get the puck or to take a shot. Nick Jones, a free agent signee did everything he was asked to do and did a lot of good things on both sides of the faceoff circle. He helped set players up and was very strong on the PK. A looming minus-14 needs to be improved upon. Jones’ Achilles Heel was being unable to finish on his scoring chances. He was reminiscent of a young Jed Ortmeyer. He has likely earned a one-year, two-way AHL deal. Ryan Dmowski and Shawn McBride were the heart of the fourth line. The team relied on them before play was suspended. Both were both on AHL deals and looks like they've earned another one-year, AHL deal. Numbers plus analytics will ultimately determine if they do get offers. Returnee Jake Elmer has two years remaining on his deal. He spent more time in Maine than in Hartford. There's a batch of new signees for the Pack. The 6’7, Austin Rueschhoff, as well as Patrick Khodorenko, Patrick Whelan, Michael O’Leary, and Justin Richards will be in what should be a very competitive training camp whenever that camp actually opens though is anyone's guess. The only UFA on the Pack roster is veteran, Matt Beleskey. He and his $825K NHL cap hit and overall $1.9 million are over. He will end up either with an AHL veteran's deal somewhere else or will take a deal to play in Europe. At the start of the season, the Rangers' not even inviting Beleskey to their NHL training camp was one of the very few questionable moves. He would still be a locker room bonus and gave it his all for the team. Late in the season, he was involved in the line brawl in Springfield in the second to last game of the year that earned him a three-game suspension. Late in the year, the departure of Ville Meskanen was obviously the other "questionable" decision by the team's management. The Wolf Pack could have used him, especially when the team hit the skids during a five game losing streak and a 2-7-1 mark in their final 10 games. Meskanen could have easily made a difference in the team's slide rather than having to rely on signing guys, like Connor Bleackly, to PTO’s and ATO’s to fill in the gaps. Goaltending is a major hot button issue for the Rangers. There are presently seven in the organization. A bit of a soap opera will play out until the situation with future Hall-of-Famer, Henrik Lundquist, is resolved. He is entering the last year of his $8.5 million per year deal. Alexander Georgiev becomes an RFA, and Igor Shesterkin enters year two of his two-year deal. An option for the Rangers is to buy-out Lundqvist. Trading Georgiev is another option. Meanwhile, in Hartford, Adam Huska (UCONN) is in his second year. J.F. Berube is there and is a UFA. Tyler Wall was just signed out of UMASS-Lowell (HE) and makes for a very congested organizational goalie crease area. Toss in the drafted, but unsigned, Olof Lindbom, who is coming off an injury sustained while playing with Mora IK (Sweden-Allsvenskan), and his hopes for a bounce back season in Sweden in the SHL possibly with Farjestad BK, where he played one game with last year. He is also WJC eligible. Lots to ponder about the 24th edition of the Wolf Pack coming out of this pandemic. Stay safe. Read the full article

CANTLON: PACK UPENDED BY BRUINS

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - Paul Carey and Jason Zrobil each had a goal and an assist to pace the red-hot Providence Bruins to their 11th straight regulation win and 12th overall in a 3-1 win over the Hartford Wolf Pack before an announced crowd of 2,594. The Bruins' win vaulted them over the idle Hershey Bears, into first place in the AHL Atlantic Division with a record of 38-18-3-3 (82 points). The Wolf Pack, a team being reassembled over the last two days, dropped it's fifth-in-a-row and fell to fourth place in the AHL Atlantic Division at 31-20-6-5 (73 points). The Charlotte Checkers' 3-2 OT win over the Cleveland Monsters put them percentage points ahead of Hartford for third place. The Wolf Pack are seven points ahead of the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins. It put them eight ahead of the Springfield Thunderbirds, who they play again Friday at the Mass Mutual Center. When it rains it pours. Pack head coach, Kris Knoblauch, saw his worst come true. Reeling and with three key players suspended and two injured, an injury to New York Rangers' forward, Filip Chytil, set the stage for the recall of Pack captain, Steven Fogarty, to an emergency recall on Wednesday morning. Chytil was injured in Tuesday night’s win in Dallas against the Stars. He was forced to assemble a team that was part-AHL, and part-collegiate. They were held to just one shot in the third period, for just the sixth time in franchise history. The Pack has equaled that dubious total. Facing a Providence team was already a daunting task. “Providence is the hottest team in the league. To go in shorthanded wasn’t ideal, but our veterans put in the efforts, and our new guys showed some promise. There’s room to grow, but definitely a good start for them. We had a good effort from the new guys, a good first step. We're gonna have to build on that to play in the American Hockey League,” remarked Knoblauch. For the players, it wasn’t easy. They need to absorb a number of changes in such a short period of time, “It’s a good group of guys, but it was like a brand new team. We'll get some more time under our belt. We'll figure it out,” Danny O’Regan said. The line of O’Regan-Vitali Kravtsov-Ryan Gropp was what the Wolf Pack needed to do well in this game and did so scoring the Wolf Pack's only goal of the night. O'Regan's hard work getting the puck from Gropp at the blue and spotted Kravtsov wide-open in front of the net, who deftly redirected the puck just under the crossbar at 3:52 for just his second goal in 15 games. “It was started with a good pinch by Ebert, and we get a lot more chances when our D is mobile like that. It was a very nice finish by those two (Gropp and Kravtsov),” noted O’Regan. That was the extent of the offense. There were a few sustained shifts, but clearly the chemistry wasn’t there and that’s to be expected. The Bruins are high in the standings because of their precision passing and shooting are a potent combo. Carey fed the puck to Jason Zrobil at the center point of the blue line. He waited until Randy Fitzgerald got a screen on J.F. Berube and drilled his first season past the Pack netminder to restore a 2-1 Bruins lead at 10:35. The Bruins added another goal to make it a 3-1 lead from yet another break. Zach Senyshyn was below the goal line and saw Carey coming in through the back-door. He redirected the pass off the leg of Wolf Pack defenseman Darren Raddysh. It went between Berube’s legs as he squeezed the pads, but not tight enough as the puck went over the goal line at 17:52. The first goal was a bit of a fluke as Carey took the puck off the left-wing boards, near the blue line, off a shot from ex-Pack, Steven Kamper, on a right-wing shot in close that missed the net. Carey sent the shot toward the net that was deflected off the stick of the Pack’s Brandon Crawley and sailed up and over Berube's blocker at 15:34. This will not be the last time these two teams will meet this season. “We’ve had success against them in the past. We just have to get some chemistry going and get back to doing what we were doing when we were winning,” O’Regan said. LINES: O’Regan-Gropp-Kravtsov Dmowski-McBride-Ronning Jones-Chase-Newell Patrick Khodorenko-Michael O’ Leary-Connor Bleackley LoVerde-Ebert Hajek-Raddysh Zach Giutarri-Crawley SCRATCHES: Tim Gettinger - Upper-body - Day-To-Day Boo Nieves - Upper-body - Day-To-Day Yegor Rykov - (Healthy) Steven Fogarty - (Emergency recall) Vinni Lettieri - (Suspended) Mason Geersten - (Suspended) Matt Beleskey - (Suspended) Gabriel Fontaine - Shoulder Surgery - Season-Ending NOTES: The Pack has some major scoring slumps and now just five goals in their last five games. O’Regan has one goal in ten games, Kravtsov has one goal in 14.  Gropp has just one in ten games while Fogarty has just one in 14. The only Providence overtime win was against Bridgeport 2-1 on February 9th. Their last regulation loss was 3-1 on January 31st to the Binghamton Devils. This was the first of the three-game suspension from Sunday’s first-period melee for Lettieri, Geersten, and Beleskey. News on Nieves and Gettinger is not good. Neither will be in the lineup this weekend as of today. Khodorenko wore jersey #43, O’Leary, #23, and Giutarri, #4 The New York Post Larry Brooks reports the Rangers are closing to signing defenseman K’Andre Miller from the University Wisconsin (Big 10) to an entry-level deal. He had 18 points in 36 games on a Badger team that finished 14-20-2. He also was captain for the US WJC Team back in December-January. Ohio State ended the Badgers season in the opening round of the Big 10 playoffs with a two-game sweep of the best of three series ending a major sub-par season for the Tony Granato coached team. A big shout-out and offer for prayers to Chief-Of-Off-Ice officials, Dave Cunningham, who is recovering well in Hartford Hospital after suffering a stroke on Saturday at the XL Center after the game.

CANTLON: BRUINS EDGE PACK TAKE SECOND PLACE BATTLE

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - An early third-period penalty led to a Providence Bruins powerplay goal that allowed them to edge out the Hartford Wolf Pack, 3-2, in a very hard-fought contest Sunday afternoon at the XL Center. The Wolf Pack record slips to 31-16-6-5 (73 points) and the team sits in third place in the Atlantic Division. Providence meanwhile sees its record improve to 34-18-3-3 (74 points). They take-over second-place from Hartford. The Baby bruins have now won eight straight games. The Charlotte Checkers are in fourth place and trail the Wolf Pack by five points. Early in the third period, a bad neutral zone tripping penalty by Pack captain, Steve Fogarty, led to the goal that would allow Providence to regain the lead they would not relinquish. The Bruins' puck possession skills that had been on display all game paid dividends on the man-advantage in just 17 seconds. Jack Studnicka sent the puck over to Peter Cehlarik. He fired a shot that was saved by J.F. Berube, but he was unable to corral the loose puck and Brendan Gaunce was right there to smack it into the net at 2:40. For Gaunce, it was his 17th goal of the season. The Wolf Pack made a strong effort to tie the game, especially in the final two minutes. With Berube pulled for an extra attacker, the Pack would come their closest to scoring. Vitali Kravtsov rang a shot off the inside of the right post with 1:15 remaining. Vinni Lettieri took a short side slapper that was stopped by Max Lagace (21 saves) and Fogarty saw his bid denied as well. “That’s what's happened in our games with Providence this year. Something happens late in the game or a period. They scored a goal from the corner in one game, I believe with 30 seconds left. They don’t always go in your favor. We had everything in our favor in trying to tie the game up, but we missed. We had three really great scoring chances, six on five. It was three-in-three. The guys coulda quit. It's hard playing three-in-three against a very good team and down 2-0. We did everything to try to get it to overtime,” said Knoblauch, doing his best to hide the impact of the tough loss. The Wolf Pack finally got some open ice and time with the puck and picked up their first goal midway through the second period. On a Bruins dump in, Libor Hajek commandeered the puck and started moving up the ice on the left-wing side. Hajek passed it over to Lettieri, who side-stepped getting nailed at the blue line and moved into center ice. Lettieri put a pass back to Hajek as he sailed down the left-wing. Nobody was going to catch him as he ripped his first of the season going top shelf to the far side at 11:56. “Libor did a great job to get the puck up the ice and gave us a real jump when we needed it,” remarked Knoblauch. Another jumpstart was Nick Ebert, not the heavyweight pugilist, getting into a scrap with a much bigger Brendan Woods, who is a lefty. Ebert got the Pack going. “We got that first goal and Nicky dropped the gloves really got us going and we got another late in the period. We battled hard the rest of the period,” said Tim Gettinger The Wolf Pack evened things up at two on a set of smart passes. A backhand dump in from Ebert behind the Bruins net that left the puck a little between Bruins goalie Max Lagace and defenseman Nick Zboril, who both arrived at the puck at the same time. Zboril eventually took possession and rimmed it up the left-wing boards, but just jumping on for his shift was Jeff LoVerde, who got the puck and sent it to Patrick Newell along the right-wing boards. Newell made a quick play from off the right-wing half-wall put the shot toward the net. The puck found Gettinger's red-hot stick as he got to the front of the net and scored his third goal in two games and 15th of the season off a perfect deflection at 14:05. “He (LoVerde) made a great play to Patty, luckily I was able to put in,” Gettinger said while downplaying his own contribution. The Bruins came into the game having won seven-in-a-row. In the first period, they showed why as they scored their first two goals of the game. The first goal was scored shorthanded by the Bruins with surgical precision at 11:41. Danny O’Regan lost the puck on his rush attempt ice. The puck went back to the Bruins left defenseman, Jason Zboril, who passed it over to his partner Josiah Didier who nailed a diagonal pass from the defensive zone to the Wolf Pack blue line to Trent Frederic. The Bruins second-leading scorer then hit a speeding Oskar Steen racing down the right-wing with a perfect pass that he redirected in full flight for his seventh of the season. The second goal was again a lightning strike by the Bruins using handy stick work. This time an outlet pass meant for Fogarty never arrived. Cameron Hughes intercepted a pass and then on a dime quickly curled to the net and fed Jack Studnicks who put in his 22nd of the season at 11:32. “We weren’t playing our best. They were taking it to us. They got pucks deep. We weren’t moving our feet and in the second and third we finally got our feet moving and we starting getting chances. We just didn’t have enough (at the end),” said Gettinger. It sets up a very critical three-in-three next weekend with two home games against the Hershey Bears. LINES: O’Regan-Kravtsov-Fogarty Jones-Newell-Gropp Beleskey-Lettieri-Gettinger McBride-Dmowski-Ronning Hajek-Raddysh LoVerde-Geersten Ebert-Rykov SCRATCHES: Boo Nieves - Upper-body - Injury day-to-day. Brandon Crawley - Healthy Greg Chase - Healthy Gabriel Fontaine - Shoulder Surgery - Season-Ending NOTES: J.F. Berube has 23 saves on the game for Hartford. Lettieri had six shots and Kravtsov had four to pace the Wolf Pack. D-men Didier and ex-Pack, Steven Kampfer, with four shots each paced the Bruins' shots. Matt Beleskey had the second scrap of the game with a much bigger Alex Petrovic early in the third. One lineup change was Jake Elmer, who was sent back to the team's ECHL affiliate, the Maine Mariners. The Wolf Pack recalled Greg Chase, who's the nephew of former Hartford Whaler, Kelly Chase. He was scratched as was Elmer since he was recalled. Among the six Bruins scratches was Wiley Sherman (Greenwich/Hotchkiss Prep). Wolf Pack Fan Jerseys Of The Game: Wolf Pack #10 Brian Gibbons (Charlotte), CT Whale, Michael Haley (Rangers) and CT Whale #86 Wojtech Wolski (SC Bern Switzerland LNA). Very classy gesture by the entire Bruins team to go shake hands with linesman Mike Baker and Derek Wahl, who were working their last AHL games as a linesman. We were alerted they had received a curiously worded e-mail “Pick your last game,“ earlier in the week as notice their contracts would not be renewed for next season. Read the full article
