A lot of the consulting work I do behind the scenes is to organizations within traditional industries that enjoy massive revenues and scale, but are starting to see that disruptive forces impact upon what they do - perfect examples are banking (see here and here) and telecommunications where new technologies threaten the very core of their business. Other businesses have a massive barrier to entry, but their challenges are more about differentiating what they do from the competition and offering more value to their customers.
Airlines are a perfect example of this and I've written before about what "Airline Customer Service 2.0" could look like. As I said at the time, I've got a personal interest in the space - I fly a quarter of a million miles or so every year and spend altogether to much time on airplanes and in airports. Making that experience less painful (or, perhaps, even fun) is pretty exciting. I've had a number of experiences where an integrated approach towards airline customer services would be hugely beneficial:
- I was flying from New York via LAX home to New Zealand with my wife on my 40th birthday. Wanting to surprise her I requested an upgrade to business class. When we boarded there was no record of our upgrade request (nor the fact that it was a special occasion). Imagine a system whereby flight staff had live access to a passenger's upgrade requests, important biographical information and communications history. Sure they'd not be able to guarantee every request could be met, but they'd at least be aware of what was going on
- Air New Zealand does an amazing job of making all their customers (and especially their most frequent ones) special. I'm generally specially greeted by the flight service manager which is a lovely touch. Almost without fail however, the FSM has to ask me how to pronounce my last name. While this isn't a big deal, imagine if the FSM was toting a mobile device which gave them some info about me (like how to pronounce my last name or that while my passport says Benjamin, I far prefer Ben). it's the little things right?
- I'm something of a control freak and ring the premium contact center on a semi-regular basis to check on small details regarding my travel. Every time I do so, I have to enter my frequent traveller code to obtain priority service (and yes, I'm eternally grateful for the priority service). Imagine a situation where my mobile number (the phone I call from 90% of the time) was known by the contact center and hence I could bypass all the identification steps
- In the past three years I've flown on the day of (or the day before depending on timezones) my birthday. That's not a biggie and I don't expect or want any attention, but a smart mobile device in the hands of flight staff would give them access to that sort of important information (even better, I've flown home from the US a few years running the day before my son's birthday- imagine a cheery "Hope your kid has a great day" while in flight!)
- Air New Zealand runs regular promotional campaigns giving customers the chance to win incredible and unique experiences. I always enter these competitions (you have to be in to win right?) Every time I do however I have to enter the same details (name, phone number, membership number) into yet another system of record. Imagine if I had one global login to Air New Zealand that crossed all of my needs (booking, support, marketing campaigns etc). Or, by extension, imagine allowing me to use my Facebook credentials to sign into these services
All of these examples are interesting when taken in light of the news that SITA, the airline industry infrastructure and software vendor, has developed some trial technology for Virgin Atlantic that allows its airline concierges to use
This is exciting from a "wow, Google Glass is cool, Virgin Atlantic has always been cooler and now it's even more so" perspective, but leaves so much value on the table. The real benefit to customers would be accrued if the core operating systems that airlines use (passenger manifests, frequent flier applications, promotional campaigns etc) were exposed via API and therefore able to be integrated with interesting applications. In focusing on the deliver device (in this case Google Glass), SITA and Virgin forget that what is really important here is the data itself - without good exposure of the data, alongside embracing a developer community to create value from that data, any initiative is little more than a modern take on a one way publicity site.
Tellingly Virgin is only introducing this for first class passengers and sees it as a way of recreating the allure of air travel. Says Dave Bulman, director of IT for Virgin Atlantic:
While it's fantastic that more people can now fly than ever before, the fact that air travel has become so accessible has led to some of the sheen being lost for many passengers
Sheen is one thing, but good customer service isn't about sheen, it's simply about delivering the very real expectations of customers. As it stands Google Glass is meaningless bling, soon every airline will have it and it'll be old hat. But truly leveraging the data airlines hold about customers, and offering up personalized, contextual and proactive information... now that's truly revolutionary.
There's your challenge Virgin Atlantic and SITA, over to you now.

Wanna find out what happened to the seven male dancers from Madonna's Blond Ambition tour and Truth or Dare film? Then tune in Thursday night, April 6, for Logo's premiere of Strike a Pose, a documentary that reveals the hidden lives of these men, made world-famous in the iconic "Vogue" video, released in 1990.
Two of the dancers—Salim "Slam" Gauwloos and Carlton Wilborn—are living with HIV and discuss their lives as long-term survivors. They were the subjects of a POZ cover story last summer that went to press as Strike a Pose was playing at film festivals across the globe. A third dancer from that 1990 Madonna tour, Gabriel Trupin, died of AIDS-related illness in 1995. All three dancers were HIV positive during Blond Ambition, though none of them revealed their status to anyone else at that time—not even one another.
"These seven dancers from the Blond Ambition tour inspired a whole generation. From the halls of the ballrooms to center stage, their bold self-expression was a true pop-culture inspiration," said Taj Paxton, vice president of Logo Documentary Films, in a press release. "We're proud to showcase the men behind the woman and to stir the next generation of leaders and tastemakers in the LGBTQ community."
Strike a Pose premieres 9 P.M. ET, Thursday, April 6. For more information, including extra clips, visit Logo here.
For our cover story, read "The Re-Invention Tour," and you can read our extended interview with Carlton here and with Salim here.
Below is the Logo trailer for Strike a Pose.

Good Time To Start 10×12 Storage Shed
Do you have a cottage or a holiday home with wood burning heating and you need some inspiration to choose a convenient 10×12 storage shed wood? The end of winter period is a good time to start looking for a storage idea for your fire logs. It is usually at this time of the year that one has more or less exhausted his stock of winter wood. So, you can easily replace the old shelter with a modern and efficient storage!
The wooden shed looks so special that many people love it, it adds a warmth to the decoration if you keep the typical color but plenty of light and even originality if you paint it in shades like white or any pastel color . They are presented in panels so that the placement and assembly are much more comfortable, so we will also make better use of the space.
In some cases, as happens with the wooden and resin houses, the huts come with a floor that you can update in the way you think is convenient while the metal ones do not have any floor so you will have direct contact with the area in which we place it. It is clear that everything depends on the use you want to give it.

The Employment License
An individual who is not a citizen of a European Union member state (also known as third country nationals) must be in possession of an employment licence (also known as Work Permit). This requirement emanates from the Immigration Act, Chapter 217 of the Laws of Malta, a chapter dealing with the limitations, control and regulation of immigration relating to Malta. It is to be remarked that in 2014, as a result of the publication of Legal Notice 160 of 2014, the authorisation for Third Country Nationals to work in Malta is now conducted by means of a Single Permit Application. Primarily, the Single Permit application process was introduced by Directive 2001/98 and consequently it was transposed into our law. This application is aimed at third-country nationals who wish to both reside and work in Malta. As a result the relevant authorities must produce a single document which is commonly referred to as the e-Residence card, which would thus enable the individual to both work and reside in Malta.
The work permit is issued in respect of third country nationals who work with a specific employer to perform a specific job. Therefore the employee cannot use the license to take up a different job, or to work for a different employer even on a part-time basis. Employment license are, in general, issued for a maximum duration of one year. Currently, with the exception of citizens from the EU/EEA/Switzerland and their third country national family members or other family members, all foreign nationals who wish to work in Malta need an employment licence. Employment licences are also required with regard to persons who enjoy long-term residence status.
In this respect, it is important to keep in mind that third country nationals need also to be in possession of a valid visa before entering Malta, although some third country nationals (i.e.: such as the Serbian nationals) are allowed to stay in Malta without being provided with a Visa for a set period of time (i.e.: Serbian individuals need to apply for a Visa only if they wish to stay in Malta for more than 90 days). Third country nationals must apply for a visa in their respective countries and in particular at the diplomatic mission or consular post which issues visas in representation of Malta.
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss Nationals
Individuals from outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland who submit a Single Permit application are subject to labour market considerations by the Employment and Training Corporation in Malta, also known as the ETC, including the national situation with regard to surpluses or shortages in the given occupation and sector, the employer's history and situation in terms inter alia of recruitment and redundancy patterns, business investments and contractual commitments. Third country nationals skill level, relevant experience and overall suitability for the position in question are also taken into account.
The following categories of employees do not need to apply for a work permit in order to reside and work in Malta:
- Family members of Union citizens, EEA/Swiss citizens who have exercised, or are exercising, their right to free movement;
- Posted employees for as long as they are posted;
- Employees who will not normally or habitually be carrying out work in Malta, such as seasonal workers or au pairs (i.e.: at present, "normally and habitually working and residing in Malta" means half the requested duration of the employment license); and
- Foreign national non-resident and non-executive directors (directors who do not ordinarily reside in Malta, who do not have an employment relationship with the company and who may be in receipt of a director's remuneration but not in receipt of a salary).

Considering all the organic beauty out there for photographers to capture, the very last thing you would like is to get to a location and understand that you don't have the correct gear essential to receive the best photo possible. Other photographers are eager to push their adjustments a modest further. Too many photographers take photos just on the great days. They believe that the choice of photographic equipment is the most difficult. While they focus on finding the best background for their landscape photography, foreground is also very important.

Our boundaries constantly shift, though, depending on what particular thing holds the utmost importance to us at a given time. We often fail to see people in their totality, to value them for who they are, regardless of who they are to us.
In the online autism community, we face these divides constantly, and we push those boundaries, watching them snap back at us, till we find ourselves suddenly on the other side, looking in instead of looking out. It's an odd thing, especially given the unique qualities that we, as parents and individuals on the spectrum, bring to the table. Even the most neurotypical of parents and siblings tend to display certain characteristics; some of us more so than others.
We're quirky, eccentric, interesting individuals, all of us, with our own baggage, and we often find ourselves in the middle of miscommunications that leave us befuddled and upset. Too much drama, too many spoons used trying to sort it all out, too much period.
I don't think there's a fix to the many divides, the shifting boundaries, the rotating allegiances, other than to stop and focus on the big picture, which can be hard to do when we're hyperfocused on the details.
We're so ready to cast stones, to see the other as the enemy that we often fail to notice the things we share. Sometimes it's important to stop, to see, to acknowledge.
Julie Obradovic writes,
"Your children are in there. They see you. They feel you. And they need you, especially you, to see and feel them. Be responsible for the energy you bring to them. Make sure they know you feel more for them than just the pain and anxiety you feel deep in your heart. Make new memories. Good ones. Ones that have absolutely nothing to do with Autism. Treat them like a child as much as possible, not just a medical case. It's easy for them to get lost yet again in all of this. Don't let that happen.Whether your child ever recovers from Autism or not...and I pray with all my might for you that they do...they will only be this little once. They are children. Stop. Sit with them. Play with them. Enjoy them as they are, as hard as that may be for some of you. You must choose to make new memories.
There's so much more to our children than the Autism. And that's at least one thing I agree we need to celebrate."
Enjoy them as they are. Those are words of wisdom, and failing to see that, to honor people, to acknowledge them, well, that's just another way of cutting ourselves off from our fellow man.
Joseph Campbell wisely notes,
"People are afraid to move into the free fall of a totally new way of looking at others. So the new mythology to come must be a global mythology, and it's got to solve the problem of the in-group by showing that there's no out-group. We're all members of a society of the planet, not of one particular place, and the fact that the three main religions of the Western world-Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-can't live together in Beruit is a refutation of all three in terms of their value for the contemporary world. They're monstrous! We must begin to realize that each is saying in his own language what the other is trying to say in his. There must be brotherhood and cooperation. Because unless that comes, we're going to blow ourselves to smithereens.
Every single one of the old horizon-bound mythologies reserved love for the in-group, and aggression and denigration were reserved for the out-group. Now, something's got to break that. And when we see that picture of our planet taken from the moon, the question arises: What are we going to do with our aggression? How is it going to be absorbed into love and transmuted from gross matter to gold? I think teaching "I-thou" relationships, rather than the "I-it" relationships, which [theologian Martin] Buber spoke about, is the first step. The teaching of humanity rather than the teaching of in-group appreciations is what's important."
Take the time. Make the effort. See the other, and in his or her eyes, see yourself reflected back, see our common humanity and reach out. Connect. Share.

Guest Column: NHL First-Round Predictions
Nathan Skytta is back again — this time with predictions for the first round of the NHL playoffs.
For the first time in almost 20 years, the Detroit Red Wings will not start their run towards the Stanley Cup at home in front of the fans at Joe Louis Arena. In a season that was plagued with injuries, featured a rookie between the pipes, and contained league diversity with no real powerhouse, the Wings struggled out of the gates.
Led by gold medal winning head coach Mike Babcock and a plethora of skill and determination, the Wings overcame their injuries and got their lineup back together. Oh and that rookie in net? Well, he turned out to be a possible rookie of the year finalist.
The Wings finished fifth in the conference and are going to take on the fourth-seeded Phoenix Coyotes, in the first round of the playoffs. The Coyotes will put up a challenge for the Wings, but after finishing the season as one of the hottest teams in the league, the Wings should be favored in advance.
In another matchup in the Western Conference, it's the No. 1 San Jose Sharks versus No. 8 Colorado Avalanche — a matchup that will be worth watching. The Sharks barely missed having to face Detroit, but the road to the second round didn't get any easier when they were paired up against the Avs. The Sharks need to be on their 'A' game in order to have any chance of advancing.
The No. 2 Chicago Blackhawks will take on the No. 7 Nashville Predators. This may be the highest scoring series out of the eight first round playoffs because each team has struggling goaltenders and stars that can put up big numbers when given the chance.
In the last Western series, it will be the No. 3 Vancouver Canucks facing off against one of the scariest teams in the league, the No. 6 Los Angeles Kings. Both of these teams have great goaltending, but it will be the matchup of the Kings defense against the all-star duo of the Sedin twins that determines who comes out victorious.
The Kings are the Cinderella team of the NHL this season and are unpredictable, so this series is one worth watching.
In the Eastern Conference, it's the President's Trophy winning Washington Capitals versus the Montreal Canadiens. This matchup pits Capitals starting goaltender Jose Theodore against his former mates from Montreal. The Capitals have too much firepower for the Canadiens and should win this series convincingly.
Future Hall of Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur will lead his No. 2 New Jersey Devils against the No. 7 Philadelphia Flyers, in hopes of clinching another Stanley Cup title. This is the time of year where Brodeur seems to always step up his game — just what any team wants to hear when facing the goaltender with the most wins in NHL history.
Silver medal-winning goaltender Ryan Miller and his Buffalo Sabres face the Boston Bruins and their rookie goaltender Tuukka Rask. The Bruins are going to have a challenge beating Miller and his teammates, so the Sabres should easily win this series, but at this time of year, anything is possible.
Last but not least, it's the No. 4 Pittsburgh Penguins versus the No. 5 Ottawa Senators. Both teams struggled down the stretch, but the reigning Stanley Cup Champion Penguins should advance. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin should lead the charge against the Senators, who lost their star Alex Kovalev to a torn anterior cruciate ligament this past week. The Senators have a challenge ahead of them, but hopefully they can make it an interesting series.
Anything can happen in the first round of the NHL playoffs, so tune in and see some of the exciting hockey that the last 16 teams in the league have to offer. Versus and NBC will have all the coverage starting Wed., April 14.
My NHL Playoffs Preview
It's that time of year again for 16 teams to lace up the skates and compete for the most coveted trophy in sports: the Stanley Cup. No postseason compares to the NHL playoffs — the speed, the excitement, the will to win it all.
The Eastern Conference features a lot of the same faces this time around like Pittsburgh, New Jersey and Washington. The Western Conference showcases some fresh faces with Phoenix, Los Angeles and Colorado. Pittsburgh and Detroit have faced off in the Finals the last two years, and a three-peat isn't quite out of the question. Series by series, here are the matchups and predictions.
No. 1 Washington vs. No. 8 Montreal
The Capitals put up 121 points and 54 wins this season and are bulldozing through their opponents. If Alexander Ovechkin didn't miss time from injuries and suspensions, he would probably have won the races for goals and total points. But this team is going to need a goalie to lead them to the promise land. On the heels of a stellar comeback-type season, goalie Jose Theodore will get an easy first matchup against Montreal. Montreal will wish they had never made the playoffs.
No. 2 New Jersey vs. No. 7 Philadelphia
Has there been a more confusing team this year than the Flyers? Pegged by many to reach the Stanley Cup Finals, they've been in disarray throughout the season. Starting goalie Ray Emery didn't pan out and ended up injured and out for the season. Captain Mike Richards is going to need to put the team on his shoulders once again. And it's no surprise the Devils are here. Last season, the Devils were ousted by an upstart Carolina team, but it's hard to see that happening again. It will be a tough series, though.
No. 3 Buffalo vs. No. 6 Boston
It's hard to believe it was just last year when Boston made it to the Conference Finals. Since then, they traded Phil Kessel and lost Marc Savard to injury, which put their offense in a serious grind. It didn't help goalie Tim Thomas struggled mightily, but now they have 23-year-old Tuukka Rask who suffocated opponents with a 1.97 goals against average and a .931 save percentage. The goalie on the other side is no slouch either — USA starter Ryan Miller. This series comes down to whom can put the puck in the net. Buffalo has 12 players with 10 goals or more, and Boston's leading goal-scorer has just 22.
No. 4 Pittsburgh vs. No. 5 Ottawa
The defending Stanley Cup Champion Penguins find themselves facing a somewhat surprising Ottawa team. With all the talent Pittsburgh has, it's a mystery as to why they never compete for a top seed. But the regular season doesn't matter anymore, of course. This is where the Penguins excel having been to the Stanley Cup Finals two years in a row. The Senators were already overmatched, and now after losing Alexei Kovalev for the year from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, the Sens are the dead horse preparing to be beaten.
No. 1 San Jose vs. No. 8 Colorado
If there's any NHL topic that's been exhausted, it's the playoff woes of the Sharks. They dodged a bullet in not having to face a red-hot Detroit team. The Sharks shouldn't have any problem taking out the Avalanche early. The Avs haven't played well since the Olympic break, goalie Craig Anderson's massive workload has caught up to him, and key players Peter Mueller and Matt Duchene are recovering from injuries. With that being said, the Sharks still don't have the confidence to sweep a team in the playoffs or beat them in five games. San Jose will take the series, but not without shooting themselves in the foot a couple times.
No. 2 Chicago vs. No. 7 Nashville
This could get ugly really fast. Chicago must be disappointed with blowing a golden opportunity in the last game of the season against Detroit. If they won, it would have meant a number one seed and home ice advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs. That puts Nashville right in the crosshairs of an angry team led by seemingly-always disgruntled coach Joel Quenneville. The Predators have heart, though, and they never quit. Despite the high probability of being skinned alive, Nashville will give it all they have.
No. 3 Vancouver vs. No. 6 Los Angeles
Of the eight Western Conference playoff teams, only Vancouver has a losing record away from their building. This gives the Kings a chance to pull off maybe the only upset of the first round. Los Angeles has a young core of players similar to what Chicago has. The Kings have players like Dustin Brown, Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar that can keep them a playoff threat for many years to come. For Vancouver, it's all about goalie Roberto Luongo and twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin. If you stop the Sedins, you'll win. It's a simple concept, but few teams can accomplish it.
No. 4 Phoenix vs. No. 5 Detroit
Contrary to popular belief, this isn't a typo. The Coyotes really are in the playoffs and a fourth seed no less. They shocked the hockey world after being in fire and brimstone the last several years. Ownership questions, gambling scandals and relocation considerations bogged down this franchise. But with new coach Dave Tippett, Phoenix got revitalized and finished with 50 wins and 107 points. Their reward? The hottest team since the Olympic break. Near the midpoint of the season, the Red Wings were out of the playoffs dealing with a stockpile of injuries. But they're back to Stanley Cup form and are once again dangerous. The Western Conference can only hope Phoenix can pull a miracle and oust Detroit. But let's be real. This is Detroit and these are the playoffs.
Inside the Shark Cage, Vol. 82
Quite the rip-roaring game for the Sharks as they kept their hot streak alive with a 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. Things got nasty in the third period and there ended up being 96 penalty minutes.
Gotta love it.
This was a great game for the Sharks all around. They showcased their offense, defense and some heart, giving Sharks fans everywhere hope heading into the playoffs.
It was a playoff atmosphere. The pace started off fast and Vancouver was pressing hard, but the Sharks pushed back and struck first on a Joe Pavelski goal. That goal was all thanks to Ryane Clowe's boardwork and deking. Clowe's ripping opponents to pieces on the scoresheet, and he also fought Aaron Rome tonight.
Clowe is what we like to call a prototypical hockey player.
San Jose kept the gas pedal down by exploding for three goals in the second period. Logan Couture, Joe Thornton and Manny Malhotra tallied the markers.
Torrey Mitchell assisted on Couture's and Malhotra's goals, which gave him his first multi-point game of his career. Torrey is officially back.
The third period is where things got scrappy. The Sharks took three penalties in quick succession to put Vancouver on a decade-long power play. And guess what? The Sharks killed it all off behind spectacular goaltending by Evgeni Nabokov.
After Jamie McGinn skated out of the penalty box, he had an altercation with one of the Sedins, and McGinn received a ten-minute misconduct for some odd reason. That's what sparked everything.
Scott Nichol cross-checked Mikael Samuelsson in the back, who dived like a little punk. When Samuelsson came back, he tried to stir the pot with Rob Blake, and Blake proceeded to punch him right in the face.
Samuelsson is a wuss. I've never liked him — to me he was never a Shark — which stems from his Red Wing days. He's just an annoying pest who can't take physicality. Much like the entire Canuck team and his former Detroit team.
Joe Thornton was getting into it with a Sedin, still talking trash for some reason. These Sedins really need to shut their mouths before they get hurt. Yap yap yap all you want twins, but someone is going to wreck you with a giant hip check one day.
Sensing that his meatball-less teammates were in trouble, Alexandre Burrows blatantly interfered with Thornton. That started a pile up, with Thornton in the middle throwing punches and ripping the helmet off a Sedin (as you can tell, I don't know which twin but it really doesn't matter).
Niclas Wallin and Ryan Kesler actually dropped the gloves, but it was a nice, cozy bearhug.
After all of this, the Canucks finally got on the board and ended Nabby's shutout. Vancouver scored again soon after to actually make it a game.
Knowing that it wasn't over, the Sharks calmed down and locked the game down for good.
This is the kind of game I've been wanting to see for a while now. I mentioned a while back how I wanted to see a brawl and the team needed it. Well, this was close enough and when you see Thornton getting in the mix, it always bodes well.
It would have been a good last regular season game, but there's still one more.
Three teams in the West are tied with 98 points, so it's still a mystery as to who the Sharks will play. The Kings, Predators or Avalanche are fine, but not Detroit. I hear some talk of "you shouldn't be afraid of Detroit and to face them early."
Yea, about that. I'll take the easiest road possible to the Stanley Cup, thanks. While there would be no doubt of an explosion of optimism if the Sharks could beat the Wings in the first round, I don't want to take chances. I'm sure people were saying similar things about the Ducks last year — anybody but Anaheim. Look what happened there.
Seto's effort
This is worth mentioning: in the third period, Devin Setoguchi blocked a shot, took it and skated all the way down the ice, and put a shot on goal. That block had to have hurt, but he sucked it up and started a dangerous forecheck. That counts as a point in my book.
Right Wing Jason Demers?
Coach Todd McLellan is experimenting with Demers up front with Nichol and McGinn. It's not permanent as he does play some defense during the game, but I like the concept. It's like a mini Dan Boyle playing forward.
Other Notes
Hit-O-Meter: SJ 22 VAN 16; Setoguchi and Pavelski both had three.
The Sharks finish the regular season with a home game against Phoenix, Saturday.
Inside the Shark Cage, Vol. 77
Quite the HA HA! game for the Sharks as they beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2. That's a little Gus Johnson reference for all you March Madness fans.
After taking out two bottom feeders in Minnesota and Dallas, the Sharks proved that they may very well be regaining old form by beating Vancouver. It wasn't a full 60 minute game, but San Jose wasn't built in a day.
Vancouver won the first period with a constant forecheck and a goal by the annoying Sedin line. Add the twins to my giant list of people who I can't stand. That's all you hear about with the Canucks — Sedin this, Sedin that. They'd be nothing without them. I'm sick of it.
But alas, it wasn't to be the Swedish meatballs' night. The Sharks dominated the second period as they do all the time. Three goals came to fruition with Dany Heatley, Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski netting them.
Heatley shot a wrister on the power play to tie the game, 1-1. Marleau scored on a breakaway after deking Roberto Luongo. No "Luuu" chants here. Patty had a more explosive reaction than usual, which was awesome to see. It's his 42nd goal. He also recorded three assists for a four-point night.
Pavelski took notes from the nearby San Francisco Giants and batted the puck into the net after an initial shot deflected into the air.
Then — PANIC. Joe Thornton rammed awkwardly into the boards and went down in a heap. Jumbo needed extra help to get to the locker room. Any ripping of Thornton can cease now. If there is one positive, it's that he hasn't missed a game in a Shark uniform (I'm fairly certain of that).
He's getting a bit more energetic while working with Ryane Clowe and Torrey Mitchell on the third line. It looked to be his left knee that was injured. But we all know what we'll hear tomorrow morning: "Lower body injury." That's Top-5 worst things about hockey — the crappy injury reports.
I hope he's all right.
The Sharks sunk back into old play again and struggled in the third period. Vancouver barraged them with wave after wave, but somehow San Jose withstood it. They did allow one Canuck goal, but Clowe sealed it in the final seconds with an empty netter.
So, while I'd like the headline to be "Sharks continue winning ways," it's going to be "Thornton leaves game injured, return questionable."
Raining Blood
Manny Malhotra was struck in the face by a puck late in the game, and blood poured out of his face. Not sure where exactly it hit, but the blood wasn't stopping. Stitches will probably seal that right up, though. I can't fathom being hit by a frozen puck in the face.
Other Notes
Hit-O-Meter: SJ 39 VAN 24; Clowe led with seven.
Scott Nichol returned from injury after missing two games. Rob Blake was back on the ice tonight as well after missing almost all of the third period versus Dallas. Blake had two assists on the night to continue his hot streak.
It's another back-to-back for the Sharks as the Avalanche will be at the Shark Tank, Sunday.
Inside the Shark Cage, Vol. 72
Quite the truth-is-out-there game for the Sharks as they showed some effort but ultimately lost to the Vancouver Canucks, 3-2. The "truth" stands for the Sharks' actual true potential, and it was featured in the third period.
Before that, the effort was spotty.
After such a nauseating loss and an unplanned practice, you'd think the Sharks would at least come out fierce — nah, too much to ask. Continuing their horrible play against Dallas, the Sharks allowed Vancouver to score twice in the opening frame.
Listen guys, you're not giving yourselves chances with these bonehead penalties in the first periods of games. This time you took three penalties — that's 30% of the period in the penalty box. And Vancouver scored on two of those power plays. It's sickening.
Ryane Clowe scored on a nice finesse play, skating down the right side and crossing the crease for a wide open net. Good thing Clowe scored; I was prepared to rip him some more for his comments the other day. I'll mention them anyway. In the game against Dallas, Brenden Morrow said he wanted to fight Clowe, and as we all know that didn't happen. Here's his quote, taken from David Pollak's blog:
"I told him I wasn't going to fight him, that I'd fight Barch," said Clowe. "I probably should have fought him (Morrow), but I have a hard time fighting guys who are the top players on other teams. I don't know."
Well Clowey, I know. You have a major malfunction in your brain. Stop being a wuss. I realize you don't want to be perceived as a goon a la Matt Cooke, but you're supposed to be a top player for San Jose too. And I do recall Joe Thornton and Ryan Getzlaf fighting in the playoffs. With a nose that size, you should be able to fight the world. Next time you face the Stars, I better see you and Morrow tango.
Back to the game we go, and the third period showed us what the Sharks can do when they start skating. Relentless forechecking led to a Joe Pavelski goal late in the game. Goalie Roberto Luongo saved the game for the Canucks, literally. A few breaks the other way and this game could be a Sharks victory. But when it rains, it pours. And boy is it coming down. Four straight losses for the men in teal.
Logan and Torrey
Playing on a line with Manny Malhotra, these two sped around the ice with authority. I'd say these were the two best Sharks on the ice. Couture got called up for the game finally after tearing up the AHL. He probably won't be here too long, but I'll say it again: put him on a line with Joe Thornton! I want to see if they have any chemistry. Of course Thornton isn't playing great so maybe it's for the best they stay apart.
Shut the Lu Up
I'm so sick of hearing "Luuuu" after every save Luongo makes. So annoying. If he isn't even looking and the puck hits him, the fans will chant it. Enough. Seriously.
Other Notes
Hit-O-Meter: SJ14 VAN 17; Jamie McGinn and Douglas Murray led with three.
San Jose is back on the ice tomorrow for the second game of the back-to-back. It'll be against the Flames at Calgary.
Inside the Shark Cage, Vol. 30
Quite the just-like-old-times performance for the Sharks in their 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. The Sharks roster finally looked like it should be with a couple exceptions. And with the added aspect of facing former Sharks, Christian Ehrhoff and Steve Bernier, it was a reunion of sorts.
Got to mention the injuries, returns and transactions. Devin Setoguchi and Rob Blake returned to the lineup tonight; Benn Ferriero and Jason Demers were sent down to Worcester because of that. Of course this was Torrey Mitchell's second game back so he's still getting used to NHL-level speed.
Jody Shelley and Brad Staubitz are still out with injuries, so Frazer McLaren played on the fourth line. Derek Joslin retained his spot on the defense upon Demers' reassignment.
OK so the game — a slow back-and-forth game. One team would control for 10 minutes, then things would switch. Vancouver got on the board early in the first and controlled the play. McLaren scored his first NHL goal to tie things up before the first ended. He took a big hit behind the goal-line but stayed on his feet and kept his stick on the ice. Joe Pavelski found him and it was an easy tip-in. Glad to see Frazer add his name to the list of first-time scorers this season; Ferriero, McLaren, Demers, Logan Couture and Ryan Vesce all have scored their first NHL goal so far this season.
The Sharks dominated the second period, outshooting Vancouver 15-4; however, they only managed one goal, which came from Dan Boyle on the power play. It was a cool goal to watch on the replay because you saw how much Boyle moves on the man-advantage. One second he would be up high at the point, five seconds later he was down low. Always keeps his skates moving in a very fluid motion.
San Jose backed off during the last frame but withstood a fierce Canucks forecheck. The Sharks capitalized on a counterattack, as Manny Malhotra deked — yes deked — goalie Roberto Luongo fairly easily. Thirteen seconds later Jamie McGinn notched his fourth goal of the season after Jed Ortmeyer battled beyond the goal line and sent the puck to the crease.
Let's go back to the decision to send Demers down to Worcester. Coach Todd McClellan cited bad play in the defensive zone as the reason for the reassignment. Demers and Joslin were battling for the final defenseman spot with Rob Blake returning and T-Mac said Joslin played better over the last 10 games. Demers has definitely not played up to par lately. I think back to last game where Demers attempted a stretch pass only to have it intercepted and turned into an Edmonton goal.
T-Mac said before he likes how Demers takes risks, and now he's going back on that? I don't get it. Demers is clearly learning from Boyle how to be an offensive threat and doing a pretty good job at it. He has one goal and 12 assists in 27 games. He's been one of the league's most surprising rookies and you choose Joslin over Demers? I'm sorry, but this is a dumb move by T-Mac. Joslin is a joke of a player and isn't going to amount to anything.
Perhaps it will help Demers not to play with Kent Huskins and actually someone good down in Worcester. Huskins was on the power play tonight again. Stop doing that T-Mac. Just stop. Demers needs to be on the power play and Huskins needs to be sent down. No one will claim him off waivers.
Other Notes
Hit-O-Meter: SJ 16 VAN 14; Jamie McGinn (4) and Devin Setoguchi (3) led the team.
The Sharks wrap up November with a 9-2-3 record and are the first team to reach 40 points.
All eyes will be on San Jose on Tuesday when the Sharks battle the Ottawa Senators. Dany Heatley versus his ex-girlfriend. Should be good.
Inside the Shark Cage, Vol. 3
The Sharks take on the Ducks tonight at Anaheim and it should be a bruising contest. In an interesting roster move, The Sharks sent Jamie McGinn down to Worcester and brought up Frazer McLaren, who is known as a tough guy. After all the things I've heard from coaches about playing their own game and not worrying about the other team, this throws it for a loop.
So much for playing a speedy, offensive affair as the Sharks are known to do; they plan on adapting to Anaheim's slower, hit-filled game. I guess it's worth a shot considering our fast style didn't work in the playoffs last year. But alas, it's only one player. We'll see the effects at 10 p.m. eastern.
Things to look for
1. Saku Koivu's debut for Anaheim
2. Will Marleau-Pavelski-Clowe line continue their first game performance?
3. Any chemistry from Thornton or Heatley?
4. Who starts in goal for Anaheim? Giguere or Hiller?
5. Nabokov
Slow Starts
Last years division winners in the Western Conference (Detroit, Vancouver, San Jose) are off to a combined 0-5 start. Detroit was swept by St. Louis, while Vancouver dropped a game in Calgary and was shutout by upstart Colorado today.
St. Louis will be dangerous — so long as Keith Tkachuk and Paul Kariya stay healthy. They already have four goals combined in two games; however, one of them will get injured this year — it never fails.
Detroit's backup Jimmy Howard played in the second game and looked, to put it lightly, sub-par. He allowed to goals in 13 seconds. I really don't think he will ever be ready for the NHL; he's a full-time AHLer.

Big Ten Week 5 Recap
Conference play time… time to make a move!
October 3, 2015
With non-conference play done for the season, it's finally time to test each other and figure out who is the best in the Big Ten this season. These are the real games where every win and loss will determine who will be making that trip to Indianapolis in December, and that first step begins this weekend.
Conference upsets? Mmmmmmm… Let's take a look at how things transpired.
There are three pivotal games in the Big Ten this weekend.
28 0
Coach Harbough has these guys believing in each other as well as the system as them steamrolled Maryland and shut them out at home.
The Wolverines were solid on both sides of the ball and senior QB Jake Rudock controlled the tempo and finished the contest going 16 of 32 for 180 yards with one touchdown.
The Michigan defense forced three turnovers as the Terps' quarterback situation continues to look disastrous. Junior Caleb Rowe was picked off three times before being benched for the second straight week. Rowe has now thrown 12 interceptions on the season.
0 27
The Wildcats pitched a shutout while only allowing just 173 yards to the Gophs' offense. Minnesota quarterback Mitch Leidner was held to just 72 yards passing and one interception on the day. Can you say defense?
The Wildcat offense was led by quarterback Clayton Thorson and tailback Justin Jackson. Thorson threw for 128 yards and added another 24 yards and two scores on the ground. Jackson rushed for 120 yards on twenty carries.
13 14
Nebraska has had some major issues in the waning minutes of its games thus far, and that continued Saturday in Champaign. The Illini scored the game-winning touchdown with just seconds left on the clock; something that is becoming all too familiar to Husker fans. Talk about disappointment.
The Illini (4-1, 1-0 in Big Ten) defense stopped the Cornhuskers (2-3, 0-1) on a fourth-and-7 at their own 27-yard line with only 51 seconds to play to give Wes Lunt one last shot at winning the drive. At that point, on three straight plays, Lunt went to his favorite target, Geronimo Allison. Twice Allison caught the ball, only it was out of bounds. But the Nebraska secondary also interfered with Allison to move the ball to the 1.
Lunt finally hit Allison in bounds, low and just inside the end zone for the game winner with 10 seconds to play.
Lunt led the way for the Illini as the junior threw for 251 yards and a pair of scores, while Allison finished with eight passes for 91 yards and a score.
Tommy Armstrong struggled just about all day for Nebraska, completing just 10 of 31 passes for 105 yards and an interception. True freshman tailback Devine Ozigbo ran for 70 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries.
The win snapped a three-game losing streak in Big Ten openers, and was Illinois' first victory against Nebraska since 1924.
Attendance: 40,138
10 6
Upset? Naw… just slow, sloppy game. The Badgers held Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard to just 77 yards passing but the Hawkeye defense forced four turnovers in leading the way to the victory.
Jordan Canzeri led the way again for the Iowa offense, rushing for 125 yards on 26 carries. The lone touchdown of the contest came just before halftime as Beathard connected with tight end George Kittle for a one-yard score. The Hawkeye offense managed just 221 yards on the day and failed to put up any points in the second half.
For the Badgers, senior quarterback Joel Stave did not have his finest day. He threw for 234 yards with two interceptions while also losing a pair of fumbles.
This lose snapped Wisconsin's ten-game home winning streak.
21 24
Moral victory or did the Spartans play down to the Boilermakers and took their feet off of the gas pedal? State was up 21-0 halftime and Purdue's running back Markell Jones caused all kinds of fits for the Spartans. The true freshman rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. Quarterback David Blough added 136 yards and a score through the air. Late in the fourth quarter with a chance to pull off one of the season's biggest upsets, but they failed to convert on fourth down, allowing the Spartans to remain among the unbeatens.
Connor Cook threw for a meager 138 yards and a touchdown, but the Michigan State running game continues to lead the way on offense. True freshman L.J. Scott had the best game of his young career, rushing for 146 yards and two touchdowns on just 18 carries. Madre London added 97 yards on the ground while Cook chipped in another 48 yards.
34 27
Army 14, Penn State 20
It was a bit of an ugly week for the conference as Ohio State and Michigan State both struggled but they snagged the 'W' – no one will care how they won in November. Northwestern and Iowa continue put together some impressive performances and the Hawkeyes should find themselves ranked this week. And Michigan's defense continues to look like one of the top units in the country as Jim Harbaugh has the Wolverines on the up and up.
Next week we'll all be watching as the Buckeyes host Maryland amidst all the homecoming festivities. Indiana travels to Happy Valley for what could be an intriguing matchup. The game of the week will take place in Ann Arbor where Michigan will take on Northwestern.

2014 Big Ten Week 7 Recap
Week 7…
October 11, 2014
No ranked games for any BIG TEN teams… Really? Wow… Well, at least every game was competitive. As a sidebar, I'm still a little confused on Big Ten football…
Building Men & Women via Athletics
Wisconsin 38, Illinois 28
Although the Illini took an early lead against the Badgers, 14-7, but it wouldn't be for the entire game, of course. The Badgers dominated much of the second and third quarters behind Melvin Gordon and Corey Clement's 339 rushing yards, but the Illini scored twice in the fourth quarter to make the final line more respectable.
Michigan State 45, Purdue 31
The Spartans were just too much for the Boilermakers. There one-two punch of Connor Cook and Tony Lippett resembled an NFL-caliber quarterback-receiver duo.
The Boilermakers did make it a game beind for 21 in the fourth. The Boilermakers got the ball back with three minutes and a chance to tie, but pressure from the Spartan defense (which harassed Purdue QB Austin Appleby all game) forced an errant throw Darien Harris picked off and returned for a touchdown to seal the win.
Michigan 18, Penn State 13
Close but necessary victory for Michigan.
The Nittany Lions led 13-10 at the half thanks to a Devin Gardner pick turned into a touchdown. From this, they were only able to score 3 points, and the Wolverines hit two field goals. Facing fourth and long in its own territory, Penn State took an intentional safety and attempted a last-ditch onside kick. They recovered it, only for a bogus offside penalty to wipe it out. Yawn….
Minnesota 24, Northwestern 17
Gophers keep doing just enough to win games and on this Saturday they improved to 2-0 in conference play. This is the first time in a decade. Way to go!!!
Iowa 45, Indiana 29
In the first quarter, Iowa exploded for four touchdowns to take a 28-7 lead. The Hoosiers got it close, pulling within seven at 28-21, but returning Hawkeye quarterback Jake Rudock propelled Iowa to a couple more scores to ensure he could wear his plaid victory cap.
Running-back Tevin Coleman (15 carries, 219 yards) is doing all he can to buoy the Hoosiers, busting out for three 40+ yard touchdown runs, but he can't save the season all by himself.
NOTE: Iowa is just one win away from bowl eligibility.
Week 8 features four Big Ten games outside of the Ohio State-Rutgers game: Purdue-Minnesota, Iowa-Maryland, Michigan State-Indiana and Nebraska-Northwestern. I recommend Iowa-Maryland for its delicate combination of crab and corn and Purdue-Minnesota for the gleeful uglyball the Gophers will play. See you all then.
"BIG TEN HELMET STICKER 4 the Week"
Tevin Coleman, Indiana, Jr., RB, Tinley Park, Ill./Oak Forest 15 carries, 219 yards

2014 Big Ten Week 4 Recap
Week 4…

The Big Ten needed Week 4 to help boost moral and confidence as conference play looms. And well, all of the teams responded except on as they went 12-1 – its best record of the season – with blowouts, road wins and an upset of a ranked team. For once, the Big Ten looked like an actual power conference.
Northwestern 24, Western Illinois 7
Lucky win? Who cares… it's a victory for the Wildcats as they had 283 yards of offense, were out gained by nearly 100 yards at home, and have no passing game to speak of. The only bright spots were Ifeadi Odenigbo (three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery), Justin Jackson (92 rushing yards, one TD) and Solomon Vault (two rushing TDs).
Northwestern fans are mad at the playcalling and the effort. Give credit to Pat Fitzgerald, who said after the game, "[m]y size 12 is going where the sun don't shine with this team for the rest of the year." Should be an interesting week of practice.
Purdue 35, Southern Illinois 13
The Boilermakers jumped out to a 25-0 lead and never looked back. They did this mostly with takeaways and field position; their four touchdown drives on the day went 23, 44, 26 and 43 yards. Danny Anthrop had five catches for 106 yards and a touchdown, and the rushing defense excelled.
Illinois 42, Texas State 35
Illinois outscored Texas State 24-7 in the fourth quarter to survive an upset scare. WHEW!!! This game also had a weather delay, after which the Illini recovered from a 21-6 deficit thanks to Josh Ferguson's 233 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns. V'Angelo Bentley had a pick-six in the waning minutes to give Illinois a two-score lead, which it needed when Texas State scored soon after. Illinois has struggled in every game this year, but find ways to win…
Indiana 31, Missouri 27
Indy put in work and it paid off with a huge win over ranked Missouri.
The Hoosiers led for much of the first half and third quarter, but they traded leads with Mizzou several times in the fourth quarter. Trailing 27-24 with two minutes left, Nate Sudfeld and Tevin Coleman engineered a 75-yard drive to win the game.
Indiana's defense held up surprisingly well against the Missouri spread. The Hoosiers beat a ranked team despite going 1 of 14 on third down conversions, suggesting that things are looking up for Indiana.
Nebraska 41, Miami (FL) 31
Ameer Abdullah set a Nebraska record for most career all-purpose yards as the Cornhuskers outslugged Miami in front of a record crowd of 91,585 in Lincoln.
Nebraska chose to run on the Hurricanes, to great effect. The Cornhuskers racked up 343 rushing yards, paced by Abdullah's 229 yards and Tommy Armstrong Jr.'s 96 yards.
Michigan State 73, Eastern Michigan 14
The Spartans had 320 yards of offense in the first half, and they out gained the Eagles by 319. Thorough stand in the State of Michigan!
Wisconsin 68, Bowling Green 17
The Badgers set a modern era Big Ten record for rushing yards (644), and Melvin Gordon is a shoe-in for offensive player of the week with 253 rushing yards and five TDs. Gordon is now averaging 8.26 yards per carry for his career, tied with Glenn Davis for the highest career average in history.
Iowa 24, Pittsburgh 20
The Hawkeyes knocked off Pitt on the road and upgraded their starting quarterback.
Iowa had trouble stopping Pitt running back James Conner, and the Hawkeyes trailed 17-7 at the half. With the offense stalling, it appeared starting QB Jake Rudock was yanked in the third quarter for CJ Beathard, whose magnificent hair sparked the offense. Iowa got into a late groove, Mark Weisman scored two touchdown runs to take the lead, and the stingy Hawkeye defense held on to preserve the win.
Maryland 34, Syracuse 20
Syracuse outgained Maryland by 220 yards and demolished Maryland's rushing defense, but Maryland had all kinds of luck against Syracuse. Will Likely had an 88-yard pick six, Brandon Ross turned a swing pass into a 90-yard touchdown, and timely turnovers helped the Terrapins beat the Orange in the Carrier Dome. A late touchdown by Syracuse made the score closer to reality, but it was still a comfortable win for the Terrapins.
Rutgers 31, Navy 24
Rutgers overcame Navy's triple option offense and a knee injury to Paul James to defeat the Midshipmen in Annapolis. They even had success pounding the ball with James, but he left the game after taking a helmet to the knee in the second quarter. Justin Goodwin and Desmon Peoples filled in with a combined 186 rushing yards, while Gary Nova had two short touchdown runs and didn't screw up. Navy drove as far as the Rutgers 6-yard line in the final minute, but the Scarlet Knights' defense held strong. While Rutgers won't win the division, they're playing like a potential bowl team.
Penn State 48, Massachusetts 7
The Nittany Lions displayed an active running game for the first time, destroying Massachusetts to improve to 4-0. Bill Belton and Zach Zwinak each had a pair of rushing touchdowns, while Akeel Lynch added 81 yards. Even more impressive was the Penn State rushing defense, which held UMass to 28 yards (sack-adjusted) on 28 carries.
Utah 26, Michigan 10
As I stated above, the Big Ten lost only one game on the day. It came in a miserable, rain delay-lengthened slog of a game, Utah defeated Michigan at the Big House. The Wolverines offense just couldn't – period. They only scored 3 points, a field-goal, a-l-l game… the other score came on a pick six by Willie Henry.
Next week will feature more nonconference sleepers and a couple of conference games where teams better pay attention including Minnesota-Michigan; Maryland-Indiana and Michigan State-Wyoming. See you then…..
Minnesota 24, San Jose State 7

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Northwestern quarterback Trevor Siemian threw for 414 yards and four touchdowns (31-44, 0 INT) and Christian Jones caught 13 balls for 182 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Wildcats past Illinois 37-34 Saturday in the finale for both teams.
The Wildcats gashed an Illinois defense that has given up big yards and points all season. Northwestern's 560 total yards made it the fifth team to top 500 yards against Illinois (4-8, 1-7).
Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase was 31-45 for 307 yards and two touchdowns in his last game at Illinois. Scheelhaase threw one interception in the game, but it was a game-changer.
Down 30-27 with just over eight minutes to play in the game, Illinois was driving. On a first-and-10 at his own 45, Scheelhaase rolled right under pressure and, just before he stepped out of bounds, forced a ball down the sideline. The only player close to it was Northwestern defensive end Tyler Scott, who juggled the ball but held it with both hands as he went out of bounds.
The play was upheld on review, a decision the sparse crowd howled loudly about and coach Tim Beckman argued over with the officials.
The Wildcats made quick work of Illinois' defense, driving to the 7-yard line where Siemian found Jones in the end zone for the touchdown that put the Wildcats up by 10, 37-27, with 8:07 left to play.
Illinois pulled back to within three when Scheelhaase hit Miles Osei for an 11-yard touchdown with 2:23 left in the game.
But Northwestern's Cameron Dickerson came up with the onside kick and the Wildcats ran out the clock.
The win, the Wildcats ended a seven-game losing streak for Northwestern (5-7, 1-7 Big Ten).
Top Performers
Passing: T. Siemian (NW) – 414 YDS, 4 TD
Rushing: J. Ferguson (ILL) – 14 CAR, 110 YDS, 2 TD
Receiving: C. Jones (NW) – 13 REC, 182 YDS, 2 TD
NOTE: Scheelhaase, a four-year starter, finished his career at Illinois with 10,634 total yards, No. 1 on the team's all-time list. His 362 yards Saturday broke Juice Williams' old record.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The Buckeyes came, they saw, and they conquered the Fighting Illini Saturday afternoon 60-35, and continue their undefeated season (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten).
Between Carlos Hyde and Braxton Miller were just too much. Hyde finished the day with 248 yards rushing and four touchdowns on the ground and another through the air. Quarterback Braxton Miller wasn't far behind with 184 yards rushing and two more touchdowns.
"That last run, in my head I was like, we could (have done) this the whole time," Hyde said. "That last run, I had energy and I just feel like we could have had that momentum the whole game."
Illinois didn't give up – after trailing 28-0 in the second quarter, they closed to 35-21 in the third on two Nathan Scheelhaase touchdown passes. Scheelhaase led the Illini with 288 yards passing and two touchdowns. But the Buckeyes defense kept him under pressure all day, sacking him five times and hitting him more than that.
Meyer praised Scheelhaase. "I love guys like that," he said. "I told him after the game he was a great player. I thought he was hard to defend today."
The loss extends the Big Ten losing streak for Illinois (3-7, 0-6) to 20 games.
Braxton Miller became the fourth FBS quarterback this season to run for a touchdown of 70 yards or more, joining Kentucky's Jalen Whitlow, Mississippi State's Dak Prescott, and Oregon's Marcus Mariota.
Most 70-Yard Rushes by QB Since 2011
Braxton Miller, OSU 3
Marcus Mariota, ORE 3
Taylor Martinez, NEB 3
Jordan Lynch, NIU 3
NOTE: 2011 was Braxton Miller's first season
"We weren't really playing a good game, but we still put up 60 points," said Miller, who added that he was fine after the hit. "Just gotta put a hard effort in and, toward the end of the game, you gotta give it your all."
EVANSTON, Ill. — Talk about precision at the end of the regulation. Visiting Wolverines' special teams sprinted onto the field as the final seconds ticked away, and with one swift kick from 44-yards, Brendan Gibbons, nailed a kick that sent the game into overtime. This kick also saved Michigan from another loss and helped send the Wolverines to one thrilling victory.
"The last play of regulation is a play that a lot of team may not follow through and be successful," coach Brady Hoke said. "That tells you about the discipline of these guys playing together. How they got on the field. How the guys that weren't on that team got off the field. It might be the best single play I've ever seen."
In overtime, on their first possession, it was Devin Gardner scored on a 5-yard run to lift Michigan to a 27-19 triple-overtime win over Northwestern on Saturday.
Gardner scored on an option and ran it in on the two-point conversion to make it an eight-point game.
Northwestern had one more chance, but Trevor Siemian got sacked for a 14-yard loss by Jibreel Black on second down. Then, his desperation pass on fourth down got intercepted by Thomas Gordan in the end zone, giving the Wolverines (7-3, 3-3 Big Ten) their second win in five games and sending the Wildcats (4-6, 0-6) to their sixth straight loss.
None of that would have happened had Gibbons not converted in a chaotic finish at the end of regulation.

An offensive game at its best but in the end it was the Hooisers on top of the Illini 52-35.
Indiana's Tevin Coleman rushed 15 times for a career-high 215 yards, the most by a Hoosier in the last 10 seasons. The teams engaged in a back-and-forth shootout until Coleman's 75-yard touchdown run edged Indiana ahead 42-35 with 12:41 remaining. Indiana burned the Illini's run defense for 371 yards and gained a season-high 650 yards overall.
Illini's Nathan Scheelhaase completed 38 of 57 passes for 450 yards and two touchdowns to lead Illinois. He added 45 yards and a score on the ground. Receiver Steve Hull exploded for 224 yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions.
With this win, the Hoosiers (4-5, 2-3 Big Ten) snapped a three-game skid, while Illinois (3-6, 0-5) extended its school-record conference losing streak to 19 games.
Indiana suffered some tough injuries including Coleman, who was helped off the field midway through the fourth quarter. Up next for them is a trip to tough Wisconsin. Illini host top-ranked Ohio State next Saturday.
38, 14
Jordan Canzeri ran for a career-high 165 yards on 20 carries to help the Iowa Hawkeyes defeat the Purdue Boilermakers 38-14 on Saturday afternoon.
Canzeri, a sophomore who entered the game with 173 yards rushing all season, also scored a touchdown to help the Hawkeyes become bowl eligible. Jake Rudock passed for 191 yards and two touchdowns for Iowa (6-4, 3-3 Big Ten), which set season highs for total yards (509) and yards rushing (318).
Danny Etling completed 15 of 28 passes for 145 yards for Purdue (1-8, 0-5), which has lost seven straight and has not beaten a Football Bowl Subdivision team this year. The Boilermakers have scored 31 points in five Big Ten games, with two of the touchdowns coming in the final minute of play.
17, 13
Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw a left-handed, 5-yard shovel pass to Ameer Abdullah for a go-ahead touchdown with 2:03 left and Nebraska's defense made enough stops to seal a 17-13 win over Michigan on Saturday.
The Cornhuskers (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten) kept their chances alive of returning to the conference championship game. Nebraska can move a big step closer to its goal by beating Legends Division-leading Michigan State next Saturday at home.
The Wolverines (6-3, 2-3) dashed hopes of earning a Big Ten title for the first time since 2004 with their first loss in 20 home games under coach Brady Hoke, turning the ball over on downs during their last possession.

17, Penn 24 (OT)
The Fighting Illini fought back against Penn State and forced overtime, but came up short, when Christian Hackenberg hit Kyle Carter with a 15-yard touchdown pass in overtime and Ryan Keiser sealed the win with an end zone interception, lifting Penn State over Illinois 24-17 on Saturday.

The Badgers scored on both sides of the ball including a pair of second-half interceptions into touchdowns that turned a close game into an easy win over the Hawkeyes.
James White ran for 132 yards and a pair of late TDs as 24th-ranked Wisconsin beat Iowa 28-9 on Saturday for its third straight win.
Joel Stave added two touchdown passes for the Badgers (6-2, 4-1 Big Ten), who are bowl eligible for the 12th year in a row.
"The turnovers were huge for us. I'm proud of the young men of this program for how they played," Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said. "They kept on fighting and battling and we were fortunate to get some points out of it."

The Battle of Michigan….
Spartans battered their biggest rivals for the full 60 minutes Saturday, and No. 22 Michigan State remained unbeaten in the Big Ten with a 29-6 victory over the No. 21 Wolverines. Michigan was sacked seven times and finished with minus-48 yards rushing, the worst output in the Ann Arbor program's lengthy history.
This after the Wolverines had vowed Saturday wouldn't be a repeat of the game in East Lansing in 2011, when Michigan State's physicality was too much for Michigan.
"Two years ago was nothing," Michigan State linebacker Denicos Allen said. "It was a lot worse today, and I think they felt it."
Michigan State (8-1, 5-0 Big Ten) has won five of the last six meetings with the Wolverines (6-2, 2-2), and this was the Spartans' most lopsided win in the series since 1967.
24, 27
Cornhuskers hailmary answered to seal the narrow victory…
The Cornhuskers looked like they were finished after Northwestern took a three-point lead with 1:20 left. They started their final drive at their 17 with no timeouts.
Ameer Abdullah caught a short pass and stretched to convert a fourth-and-15. Then, with four seconds on the clock, Ron Kellogg III connected with Jordan Westerkamp on a Hail Mary 49-yard touchdown pass as time expired to lead Nebraska past Northwestern 27-24.
Nebraska's winning play was perhaps its most dramatic since Matt Davison's "Flea Kicker" catch that kept alive the Huskers' national-championship season in 1997.

The Spartans were dominate on both sides of the ball against the Fighting Illini, and easily defeated them 42-3.
QB Connor Cook threw for three touchdowns and finished the game 15-of-16 for 208 yards, setting a Michigan State (7-1, 4-0 Big Ten) record for passing efficiency just a week after he was grilled for failing to move the ball against Purdue.
Tailback Jeremy Langford had 104 yards on 22 carries and two touchdowns for the Spartans.
The Michigan State defense came into the game ranked first in the nation in total defense at 228 yards a game, and looked even better Saturday, holding Illinois to just 128. That included 25 yards on the ground.
Illinois had been scoring 35.3 points a game, but not today. The Illini only scored a field goal, which came on the game's opening drive, a 12-play, 53-yarder, that pumped a little optimism into a homecoming day crowd.
Illinois' Big Ten losing streak reached 17 games, with a road trip to Penn State on the schedule next Saturday. The last Illini win the in the conference came more than two years ago, 41-20 over Indiana on Oct. 8, 2011.
10 17
The Hawkeyes (5-3, 2-2 Big Ten) almost gave this one away after taking an nearly lead against Northwestern, but they were able to hold on for the 17-10 win. The Hawkeye defense sealed the victory by sacking Kain Colter on the final play of the game.
Jake Rudock completed 19-of-27 passes for 169 yards — none bigger than the third-down pass to Fiedorowicz in overtime. Rudock rolled to his right and lofted a pass to his big tight end in the left corner of the end zone.
This snaps Iowa two-game losing skid. The irony of it all was Hawkeyes led at halftime in each of their three losses.
On the other hand, Northwestern (4-4, 0-4) dropped its fourth straight game.

What Does CC Mean In Email?: CC in Email stands for "Carbon Copy".It is used to signify that one mail is an exact replica of the other mail from which CC is done.Generally, when the same email is to be sent to one or more person CC is used.
What Does CC Mean In Email?
Meaning of Carbon Copy: As CC stands for Carbon Copy. It is important to understand the meaning of the word Carbon Copy.Earlier when the technology was not much developed, people used to make a manual copy of any documents or important paper by using carbon paper.A carbon paper was placed between the blank paper and the original paper on which the document was to make.When something was written on the original paper it was traced by the carbon paper on the blank sheet placed exactly below it.In this way, a document was copied on a blank sheet without any changes.
CC in an email does the exact same thing as done by a carbon paper.A sender uses CC when she/he wants to make one or more copies of the original mail so that it can be sent to different persons without any changes.CC is an important field of email composition and helps to send original mail content to multiple users at the same time without any alteration.
Difference Between CC and BCC
While composing an email you might have seen a field which looks similar to CC but has "B" as a prefix that is, BCC.It stands for Blind Carbon Copy.
These two fields might look similar but are bit different from each other.The major difference between CC and Bcc is that when you use CC to copy and send email to multiple users, those users can see the list of all other users to whom you have sent this email.
When you use BCC to make a copy of an email and send to multiple users, those users cannot see the list of other users to whom you have send this mail.
For example: when you CC an email to [email protected] and [email protected] they both can see the list of recipient whereas if, the same mail is send using BCC than none of them will be able to see the recipient list.
Difference Between To And CC
"To is also an important field of Email composition.There is no particular difference between them because they both function in similar fashion.If you want to send the same email to four persons and you mention one email address into "To" field and other 3 in CC field than all the four will get the same email and they all can access the recipient list.
For example, If you want to give a reply to a customer regarding there complain and you also want to send a copy of this response to your boss than, you can put the email address of the client in the "To" field and in CC field you can mention the email address of your Boss.Now your boss will get a copy of the reply that you sent to the client.
