Maple Leafs' rookie trio just too much to handle for weary Capitals
TORONTO Lineup options for Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock were limited before the regular season began.
Babcock knew he wanted to play Tyler Bozak with James van Riemsdyk and Nazem Kadri with Leo Komarov. That meant the prospect of lining up three rookies Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Zach Hyman on the very same line.
The trio, which Babcock grew to both love and hate, was devastating in the Leafs' 4 3 overtime win Monday night in Game 3 of their first round series with Washington.
Matthews had a goal, an assist and six shots while Nylander scored once copy van cleef alhambra mother of pearl necklace and fired nine van cleef clover necklace replica attempts. Hyman played the familiar role of muscle, helping to set up a goal before drawing the Lars Eller high sticking penalty which led to Tyler Bozak's overtime winner.
The unit dominated the puck all night long. The blend of speed and skill between Matthews and Nylander, along with the force and persistence of Hyman, were just too much for the Capitals to handle. Even strength shot attempts were 23 5 when Nylander was on the ice (82 per cent); 21 7 when Hyman was on the ice (75 per cent); and 20 10 with Matthews out there (67 per cent).
"I just thought they were good all night," Babcock said after the win, which gave the Leafs a 2 1 series advantage heading into Game 4 on Wednesday night. "I thought they territorially controlled the play a lot. They had a lot of possession time. I thought they were dangerous. I thought they were skating."
Babcock wasn't always enamoured by those three players together. While he stuck with the combination of Matthews and Hyman all season, he often flipped Nylander for Connor Brown on the right wing preferring the Toronto native as a more reliable defensive option.
The numbers, per Corsica Hockey, suggest the unit functioned far more effectively with the Swede on the wing:Hyman/Matthews/Nylander: 55 per cent
Hyman/Matthews/Brown: 49 per centHyman/Matthews/Nylander: 57 per cent
Hyman/Matthews/Brown: 48 per cent
Babcock took advantage of home ice in Game 3, getting the unit away from the Capitals' top trio of defenders John Carlson, Matt Niskanen, and Dmitry Orlov and matching them a bit more against their third unit pairing of Kevin Shattenkirk and Brooks Orpik.
The coach also got his rookie trio more opportunity against Washington's third and fourth forward units.
It was against the third line of Lars Eller, Brett Connolly and Andre Burakovsky and third defensive pairing that Nylander scored his goal.
Hyman lured Shattenkirk and Orpik with his hustle on the forecheck before Matthews picked it free and fed Nylander for his first career post season goal.
The Matthews line saw little of Eller's line in Games 1 and 2 and an almost overwhelming amount against the dangerous second unit of Evgeny Kuznetsov, Justin Williams and Marcus Johansson. Even that group, however, was overmatched by Toronto's rookie unit on Monday night.
"I think we feel comfortable going out there against anybody," Matthews said.
The 19 year old came up point less in the first two games in Washington where Caps coach Magic Alhambra replica Van Cleef & Arpels necklace gold Barry Trotz had last change and control of the matchups but emerged in the second half of Saturday's double OT win.
He got his first playoff goal against the Kuznetsov line, speeding into the offensive zone before firing a shot that bounced off Carlson, the face of Nate Schmidt (playing for an injured Karl Alzner), Matthews' body and, finally, Caps goaltender Braden Holtby.
Matthews stuck with the rebound and eventually batted the puck out of mid air for Toronto's first goal.
Babcock thought Matthews was doing just fine before Monday's breakout performance, but believed that Nylander had his best game of the playoffs in Game 3 with the "best legs he's had."

Mediahuis consortium launches recommended cash offer for all TMG shares
TMG's supervisory board said on Wednesday it unanimously supported the offer of 6 euros ($6.43) per share, and recommended shareholders accept and tender all their shares to the offer.The board's backing is a blow to Dutch tycoon John de Mol, who, through his investment vehicle Talpa, had launched a counteroffer, setting fake Van Cleef & Arpels clover jewelry cheap off a bidding war over the owner of the Netherlands' largest paper in late January.Mediahuis' offer price represents a 73 percent premium to the Dec. 13, 2016, closing price of 3.48 euros, the day before the merger talks first surfaced, but falls 5 percent short of Tuesday's 6.30 euro closing price.De Mol, best known as the creator of hit television show Big Brother, in March raised his counterbid to 6.50 euros per share, or around 300 million euros, but the board has now backed the lower bid of around 274 million euros.The Mediahuis led consortium already holds a 60 percent stake in TMG, notably via the replica Van Cleef & Arpels clover white gold Van Puijenbroek family, which has held shares in De Telegraaf since the 1950s, and expects to complete the offer in July 2017.De alhambra Van Cleef & Arpels necklace gold replica Mol's Talpa Holding has built a rival 25 percent stake in TMG, which he had earlier pledged not to sell, effectively blocking Mediahuis' intent to reach the 95 percent threshold required to initiate buy out proceedings and take the company private.The combined group would continue to focus on its core news division under the leadership of current Mediahuis chairman Marc Vangeel as chief executive, TMG and Mediahuis said.TMG publishes the popular Telegraaf daily and also owns Sky Radio and several leading magazine titles in the Netherlands, while Mediahuis owns another major Dutch newspaper, NRC Handelsblad.De Mol's Talpa owns 33 percent of television broadcaster SNS and several leading Dutch radio stations.

Either lead or retire Had government encouraged the major automakers to invest billions of dollars toward building a bigger and better freeway system instead of forcing them to waste billions of dollars on building smaller and inferior cars, we wouldn't have the traffic problems that exist today.

Consequently, all we have to show for this government boondoggle is unnecessary waste, enormous loss of time and money and unbearable gridlock with no relief in sight.

Montblanc boss says it's time to scale even higher peaks
As Lutz Bethge presides over a meeting at Montblanc's atelier in Hamburg, Germany, last week, he is in fact 724 miles away from where the luxury goods group took its name, the highest peak in Europe: Mont Blanc in the Alps.
The brand was created in 1907 by a Hamburg banker and two engineers who, after seeing the latest technology for fountain pens in Britain and France, decided to create their own version in Hamburg. The Montblanc name was chosen because the founders thought their pens were the "pinnacle" of pen design and craftsmanship and the "most majestic peak" would be a fitting name. The name and the white star logo to represent the snowy peak of the mountain were adopted by 1910. The company, now part of luxury goods conglomerate Richemont Group, has grown into a global empire selling its expensive fountain pens in 70 countries.
Mr Bethge is proud of his company's heritage and its headquarters contains a museum showing the rich history and how it has been loved by the rich and famous for decades. But what future is there for a business selling pens in a world of computers and mobile phone technology? Children at school today are learning to write on computer screens on their desks, not with ink wells. How can a 104 year old pen maker, which still makes its pens by hand in a Hamburg factory, survive?
Mr Bethge says: "Computers rule our lives but letters written by hand show the recipient how important they are. They are personal and show you have given one of the most important things of today time."
Hamburg born Mr Bethge, who has been with the company since 1990, is so passionate about his products that he knows every detail of the process of creating them. "Our brand stands for power, for success, but also for education and culture. The person with a Montblanc writing instrument has a successful and cultural lifestyle." And at a 500 entry point rising to close to 20,000, these fountains and roller balls are more than just pens. They are indeed, as Mr Bethge says, "writing instruments".
At the atelier in Hamburg a tour around the network of rooms reveals that more than 600 people make its products. Painstakingly engraving, welding, shaving and bending the delicate gold and precious metals in a total of 35 different steps to create the fine nibs for each fountain pen sold across the world.
But Mr Bethge's plan for the business goes well beyond his beloved "writing instruments". Since 1995 it has diversified into leather goods, jewellery and, most importantly, watches, which could easily overtake its sales of pens.
Erwan Rambourg, luxury goods analyst at HSBC, said: "Montblanc product diversification has been quite successful. The name is still probably associated with pens. However, as Cartier started off as a jeweller and is now well known for watches, I would not rule out that at some stage that the first point of reference for Montblanc will be watches."
The business is rapidly growing in China, India and Brazil. It has established a network of 360 shops with a total of 9,000 sales outlets worldwide and plans for further growth. In China it has 100 shops in 48 cities and will by the end of the year open its biggest store yet a concept store that will host events and exhibitions in a four storey building in Beijing. Mr Bethge says: "China is our biggest market but Europe is still important. A business needs a balance of all markets. We are evenly spread. This is a benefit."
But in the current economic recession how can a company that still manufacturers products by hand compete? The company made a crucial decision for its future success in the 1970s when it stopped mass production of cheaper pens to concentrate on the high end. This decision made Montblanc what it is today.
Mr Bethge explains: "We are selling luxury goods, but we are artisans and an atelier not a mere luxury brand. When we launch new categories people know they will also be of the highest quality."
When it entered replica bracelet cartier the watch market it opened two locations: Le Locle for 6,000 plus watches, and Villeret where everything is handmade and where it creates only 300 to 400 pieces a year. Only eight Villeret Tourbillon Bi Cylindrique have been made which sell at 230,000 (197,000).
Like its home city's forefathers, Montblanc has a long list of art and cultural events that it has created. It uses its celebrity clients to raise money for charities and support the arts. Montblanc runs competitions for young and established artists as well as an award for a patron of the arts. This year Prince Charles will be awarded the Montblanc de la Culture award in the UK with a prize of a limited edition fountain pen and 15,000 to donate to one of his charities.
Parent company Richemont, the second largest luxury goods conglomerate in the world after LVMH, updated the market last month with a 23 per cent increase in global sales for the last quarter. The group, which owns brands such as Cartier, had a net cash position of 2.2bn as at the end of December. But its generous nature and good trading figures mask other issues. The rising bangle cartier replica price of gold and precious metals as well as currency fluctuations mean its prices will be forced up in April.
Mr Bethge plays down the cost hikes. He says: "This is not the first time gold prices have risen and currency always fluctuates. This is something we have to live with. We have to adjust our prices fake cartier bracelet of course, but we will not over do it for our customers."
Analysts agree. Luca Solca, senior research analyst in luxury goods at Sanford C Bernstein, says: "All hard luxury players are affected Montblanc maybe less than others given its lower use of precious metals. It is a very solid and profitable brand."
The international nature of Montblanc was part of its plan from the beginning. When the founders opted for the Montblanc name they chose the highest European mountain. "Our founders chose the highest European peak and not the highest German peak. They had an international vision. If they had not had a European outlook we would have been called Zugspitze. This would have been difficult imitation stainless steel cartier love bracelet for international success." Mr Bethge says with a wry smile.

But what future is there for a business selling pens in a world of computers and mobile phone technology? Children at school today are learning to write on computer screens on their desks, not with ink wells. How can a 104 year old pen maker, which still makes its pens by hand in a Hamburg factory, survive?
Mr Bethge says: "Computers rule our lives but letters written by hand show the recipient how important they are. They are personal and show you have given one of the most important things of today time."
Hamburg born Mr Bethge, who has been with the company since 1990, is so passionate about his products that he knows every detail of the process of creating them. "Our brand stands for power, for success, but also for education and culture. The person with a Montblanc writing instrument has a successful and cultural lifestyle." And at a 500 entry point rising to close to 20,000, these fountains and roller balls are more than just pens. They are indeed, as Mr Bethge says, "writing instruments".
At the atelier in Hamburg a tour around the network of rooms reveals that more than 600 people make its products. Painstakingly engraving, welding, shaving and bending the delicate gold and precious metals in a total of 35 different steps to create the fine nibs for each fountain pen sold across the world.
But Mr Bethge's plan for the business goes well beyond his beloved "writing instruments". Since 1995 it has diversified into leather goods, jewellery and, most importantly, watches, which could easily overtake its sales of pens.
Erwan Rambourg, luxury goods analyst at HSBC, said: "Montblanc product diversification has been quite successful. The name is still probably associated with pens. However, as Cartier started off as a jeweller and is now well known for watches, I would not rule out that at some stage that the first point of reference for Montblanc will be watches."
The business is rapidly growing in China, India and Brazil. It has established a network of 360 shops with a total of 9,000 sales outlets worldwide and plans for further growth. In China it has 100 shops in 48 cities and will by the end of the year open its biggest store yet a concept store that will host events and exhibitions in a four storey building in Beijing. Mr Bethge says: "China is our biggest market but Europe is still important. A business needs a balance of all markets. We are evenly spread. This is a benefit."
But in the current economic recession how can a company that still manufacturers products by hand compete? The company made a crucial decision for its future success in the 1970s when it stopped mass production of cheaper pens to concentrate on the high end. This decision made Montblanc what it is today.
Mr Bethge explains: "We are selling luxury goods, but we are artisans and an atelier not a mere luxury brand. When we launch new categories people know they will also be of the highest quality."
When it entered replica bracelet cartier the watch market it opened two locations: Le Locle for 6,000 plus watches, and Villeret where everything is handmade and where it creates only 300 to 400 pieces a year. Only eight Villeret Tourbillon Bi Cylindrique have been made which sell at 230,000 (197,000).
Like its home city's forefathers, Montblanc has a long list of art and cultural events that it has created. It uses its celebrity clients to raise money for charities and support the arts. Montblanc runs competitions for young and established artists as well as an award for a patron of the arts. This year Prince Charles will be awarded the Montblanc de la Culture award in the UK with a prize of a limited edition fountain pen and 15,000 to donate to one of his charities.
Parent company Richemont, the second largest luxury goods conglomerate in the world after LVMH, updated the market last month with a 23 per cent increase in global sales for the last quarter. The group, which owns brands such as Cartier, had a net cash position of 2.2bn as at the end of December. But its generous nature and good trading figures mask other issues. The rising bangle cartier replica price of gold and precious metals as well as currency fluctuations mean its prices will be forced up in April.
Mr Bethge plays down the cost hikes. He says: "This is not the first time gold prices have risen and currency always fluctuates. This is something we have to live with. We have to adjust our prices fake cartier bracelet of course, but we will not over do it for our customers."
Analysts agree. Luca Solca, senior research analyst in luxury goods at Sanford C Bernstein, says: "All hard luxury players are affected Montblanc maybe less than others given its lower use of precious metals. It is a very solid and profitable brand."
The international nature of Montblanc was part of its plan from the beginning. When the founders opted for the Montblanc name they chose the highest European mountain. "Our founders chose the highest European peak and not the highest German peak. They had an international vision. If they had not had a European outlook we would have been called Zugspitze. This would have been difficult imitation stainless steel cartier love bracelet for international success." Mr Bethge says with a wry smile.

475e anniversaire de l'ordonnance de Villers
Il y a 475 ans, en aot 1539, le roi Franois 1er dictait l'Ordonnance de Villers Cotterts qui faisait du franais la langue officielle de France, remplaant le latin. Ce btisseur centralise les pouvoirs de diverses manires : en rduisant ceux des villes et de l'glise, en faisant du franais la langue de l'administration et la justice, en rendant obligatoire la tenue des registres de baptme, etc. Cette ordonnance marque les dbuts de l'tat civil.

Le Pape Alexandre VI, par le Trait de Torsedillas en 1494, avait confr l'Espagne et au Portugal le monopole du partage de toutes les dcouvertes territoriales qui se feraient dans les Amriques suite aux explorations de Colomb (1492).

Pair sentenced to 16 years in Italy asbestos trial
Stephan Schmidheiny, the former owner of a company making Eternit fibre cement, and Jean Louis Marie Ghislain de Cartier de Marchienne, a major shareholder, were sentenced in absentia after being found guilty of causing an environmental disaster and failing to comply with safety regulations.
They were also ordered to pay damages to civil parties in a payout expected to add up to tens of millions of euros.
