hockey book recommendations for my anon

okay, so the problem with hockey books are that a lot of them honestly aren’t very good. there are tons of shitty books that are like compendiums where it’s like 50 greatest goalies in the history of the nhl! except it was published like 20 years ago. there’s some value to me in reading it but would i recommend it to the casual reader? no not really.

i also can’t honestly recommend a ton of biographies because the problem is that a lot of them are autobiographies and they’re ghostwritten and only done when the dude’s broke and needs the cash and accordingly not very good unless you’re particularly interested in that player, and sometimes not even then. i’ve read a bunch from older guys like darren mccarty and they’re pretty self serving and basically read like he was sitting down dictating the book to the ghostwriter (which i’m almost 100% sure is what happens).

similarly the flyers books aren’t like. good. but they have information.

so like take all of these kind of with a grain of salt. i love anything jack han is involved with, the sean mcindoe book is easily digestible, wyshynski is an asshole but that book is super helpful if you are new to hockey, and the robidoux and robinson books are, goes without saying, necessary reads.

general topics

stephen cole, hockey night fever

craig custance, behind the bench

jack falla, home ice: reflections on backyard rinks

stephen hardy, hockey: a global history

sean mcindoe, the down goes brown history of the nhl

brian mcfarlane, history of hockey

michael mckinley, hockey: a people’s history (this is also a documentary series)

michael mckinley, putting a roof on winter

ron mclean, hockey towns

greg wyshynski, take your eye off the puck

flyers related

jakki clarke, flyer lives

chuck gormley, orange, black & blue

adam kimelman, the good, the bad, & the ugly

lou nolan, if these walls could talk

goalies

françois allaire, the hockey goalie’s complete guide

jim corsi, the hockey goalie’s handbook (yes that’s THE corsi)

hockey culture/social justice concerns

ross bernstein, the code: the unwritten rules of fighting and retaliation in the nhl

sheldon kennedy, why i didn’t say anything (tw for abuse)

michael robidoux, stickhandling through the margins: first nations hockey in canada

laura robinson, crossing the line: violence and sexual abuse in canada’s national sport (also tw for abuse)

biographies

john branch, boy on ice: the life and death of derek boogard (this one also crosses over into the culture/social justice concerns imo)

ken dryden, the game (probably one of the finest autobiographies out there)

ken dryden, game change: the life and death of steve montador and the future of hockey (this one also crosses over into the culture/social justice concerns imo)

j. gallagher and valmore james, black ice: the val james story

barry melrose, dropping the gloves

bob mckenzie, hockey dad

ray macskimming, gordie

brantt mhyres, pain killer (this one also crosses over into the culture/social justice concerns imo)

drills and tactics

dave chambers, the hockey drill book

jack han, hockey tactics 2020

mike johnson, hockey plays and strategies

ryan stimson, tape to space: redefining modern hockey tactics

hopefully you can find at least something in there that you like!

Mosley, Leonard. Backs to the Wall: London Under Fire, 1939-1954. London: George Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1971; reprint, as Backs to the Wall: The Heroic Story of the People of London During World War II, New York: Random House, 1971.

Each generation gets the history that it needs — or wants, or demands. That’s what kept going through my head as I read Backs to the Wall, which appeared three years after France’s youth explicitly rejected both Charles de Gaulle, the self-appointed leader of the Free French during World War II, and the political ideology that he represented, and amidst ongoing unrest over the Vietnam War. (It’s also worth mentioning that it was published in the same year as Norman Longmate’s How We Lived Then: A History of Everyday Life During the Second World War and two years after Angus Calder’s The People’s War.) This book gives up a World War II narrative in which Churchill was an improvement on Chamberlain only in that he wasn’t an appeaser, de Gaulle was worse than both of them put together, the Allied leaders all cordially loathed each other, half the British public wanted to sue for peace, and there was across-the-board mutual dislike between London civilians and American troops (and British dismay at the way African-American troops were treated by their white counterparts was far from universal). Do I exaggerate? Only slightly. Backs to the Wall is a sort of distant, city-specific pre-echo of Juliet Gardner’s sour 2004 book Wartime: Britain, 1939-45.

As with Wartime, however, this book does have the virtue of introducing us to a number of very interesting people. I became interested in reading it because it brought Vere Hodgson’s wartime diary to public attention. Mosley quotes or paraphrases Hodgson’s writing from the beginning of the war through its end, and also seems to have interviewed her extensively. His primary villain, meanwhile, is not Chamberlain but Chamberlain’s chief acolyte, Henry “Chips” Channon, from whose diary he quotes widely (and who turns out to have been born and raised in the United States, to my surprise). We hear a great deal from the chemist and novelist C.P. Snow and follow the misadventures of two civilians, Jenny Martin and Polly Wright, whose consistency in both bad luck and bad choices meant that neither of them was able to stay out of serious trouble for any length of time.

There are many glimpses of the London home front through the eyes of two boys, both eight when the war began: John Hardiman, of Canning Town and later of Aldgate, who was evacuated in 1939 but soon returned to London, and Donald Ketley of Chadwell Heath, who was never evacuated at all. Donald, who thoroughly enjoyed himself during the war, had an experience that speaks to our own recent reality:

Another good thing: quite early in the Blitz, his school had been totally destroyed by a bomb. Since Donald was shy, a poor student and unpopular with his teacher, he was overjoyed when he heard the place was gone. Thereafter he went each day to his teacher’s home to pick up lessons, which he brought back the next day for marking. In the following months he changed from a poor student to an excellent one, and although he was aware that his teacher rather resented it, he didn’t care. 

Mosley also introduces us to Archibald McIndoe, the real-life counterpart of Patrick Jamieson, Bill Patterson’s character in the Foyle’s War episode ‘Enemy Fire.’ Art seems to have imitated life pretty accurately in that instance: he and his burn hospital in East Grinstead were apparently exactly like what was depicted, the only difference being that the hospital was set up in an existing hospital building, not in a requisitioned stately home.

Backs to the Wall seems to have been one of the earliest books to make substantial use of Mass-Observation writings. Most M-O diaries are anonymous, but there are two named diarists here who stand out. John James Donald was a committed pacifist whose air of lofty detachment as he observes the reactions of those around him to air-raids and other wartime event and prepares for his tribunal — which, in the end, he decides not to attend — quickly grows irritating. More interesting is Rosemary Black, a 28-year-old widow, in no small part because she differs markedly from what I had thought of as the archetypical M-O writer. Here’s her self-description on M-O documents: “Upper-middle-class; mother of two children (girls aged 3 and 2); of independent means.” Mosley continues:

She lived in a trim three-story house in a quiet street of the fashionable part of Maida Vale, a short taxi ride from the center of the West End, whose restaurants and theatres she knew well. She was chic and attractive, and lacked very few of the niceties of life: there was Irene, a Hungarian refugee, to look after the children; Helen, a Scottish maid, to look after herself and the house; and a daily cleaning woman to do the major chores.

Black took her children out of London at the beginning of the war but quickly brought them back, and when bombs began falling she kept them in place — air raids might be disruptive for them, but apparently relocation had been worse. She was very much aware that she was riding out the war in a position of privilege, and she often expressed guilt feelings; but this tended to fade away before her irritation at the dominance of “the muddling amateur or the soulless bureaucrat” in the war effort. Offering her services, even as a volunteer, proved very frustrating. “She was young, strong and willing; she typed, spoke languages, was an expert driver and had taken a course in first aid,” Mosley tells us, “but finding a job even as a chauffeur was proving difficult” in September 1940. (She actually wasn’t all that strong physically: as we learn, she suffered from rheumatism which grew worse during the war years and probably affected her outlook.)

Black was greeted with “apathy and indifference” by both A.R.P. and the Women’s Voluntary Service. Early in 1941 she was finally able to get a place handing out tea, sandwiches, cake, and so on to rescue and clean-up workers at bomb sites from a Y.M.C.A. mobile canteen. She was a bit intimidated by the women with whom she found herself working:

Their class is right up to the county family level. Nearly everyone is tall above the average and remarkably hefty, even definitely large, not necessarily fat but broad and brawny. Perhaps this is something to do with the survival of the fittest.

And the work did bring her some satisfaction, even if it was of the type that lent itself to being recorded with tongue placed firmly in cheek:

We had a pleasant and uneventful day’s work serving City fire sites, the General Post Office, demolition workers and Home Guard Stations, etc. We were complimented at least half a dozen times on the quality of our tea ... I think the provision of saccharine for the tea urns to compensate for the mean sugar allowance is my most successful piece of war work. What did you do in the Great War, Mummy? Sneaked pills into the tea urns, darling.

For all her good humor and astute observations, Mrs. Black was far from immune to tiny-mindedness. After an evening out in 1943 she wrote:

I had to wait some time for the others in the cinema foyer, and I was much struck, as often before, by the almost complete absence of English people these days, from the capital of England. Almost every person who came in was either a foreigner, a roaring Jew, or both. The Cumberland [Hotel] has always been a complete New Jerusalem, but this evening it really struck me as no worse than anywhere else! It is really dismaying to see that this should be the result of this war in defence of our country.

Indeed, Mosley cites the results of a multi-year Mass-Observation study that showed a marked increase in anti-Jewish views London’s general population over the course of the war. Since it’s just one study, and since I haven’t seen that study mentioned anywhere else, I am reluctant to trust blindly in its accuracy; and there’s also this:

The small flat which George [Hardiman] had procured for [his family] ... in Aldgate was cleaner and airier than the old house in Canning Town [which had been bombed], and the little Jewish children with whom John now went to school seemed to be cleaner than the ones in Elm Road; at any rate, he no longer came home with nits in his hair.

On the other hand, Mosley himself gives us only a fragmentary view of London’s wartime Jewish population: everyone seems to be either a terrified refugee or an impoverished East Ender. We hear nothing about the substantial middle- and upper-middle class population — mostly of German descent and in some cases German birth — that had already taken shape in Northwest London; and while we are briefly introduced to Sir David Waley, a Treasury official, in connection with the case of an interned Jewish refugee, we aren’t told that Waley himself was Jewish, a member of “the cousinhood.” On yet a third hand, Mosley also quotes other M-O surveys from the same period that indicate largely hostile attitudes to most foreigners in London, with Poles at the bottom of the ladder and the small Dutch contingent on top. (Incidentally, the book’s extremely patchy index identifies Vere Hodgson as a Mass-Observation diarist, which she wasn’t.)

Backs to the Wall closes with a very brief, remarkably non-partisan account of the 1945 general election and its immediate aftermath. “Neither side had any inkling of the way the minds of the British voters were turning,” he writes.

When [Churchill’s] friends suggested that he was a victim of base ingratitude, he shook his head. He would not have such a charge leveled against his beloved countrymen. Ingratitude? "Oh, no," he said quietly, "I wouldn’t call it that. They have had a very hard time."

The book is worth reading for the primary materials that it includes, but it probably tells us as much about the era in which it was written as about the period that it covers.

Anna Katrina Zinkeisen was a Scottish painter and artist.

Zinkeisen was born in Kilcreggan, the daughter of Clare Bolton-Charles and Victor Zinkeisen, a timber merchant. The family moved to Middlesex in 1909. Anna and her sister Doris were privately educated at home before they attended the Harrow School of Art from where they both won scholarships to the Royal Academy Schools. Anna studied sculpture at the Royal Academy Schools between 1916 and 1921, winning silver and bronze medals, and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1919. She received a commission for some plaques from the Wedgwood company and although these designs were awarded a silver medal at the Exposition des Art Decoratifs in Paris in 1925, Zinkeisen decided to specialise in portrait painting and mural work.

In 1935, Anna and Doris Zinkeisen were commissioned by the Clydebank shipbuilders John Brown and Company to paint murals on the ocean liner RMS Queen Mary. Their work can still be seen, in the Verandah Grill room, on the ship now permanently moored in Long Beach, California. At this time Anna was also working on a number of illustrations for books and magazine covers as well as designing posters, such as Merry-go-round and Motor Cyle and Cycle Show, Olympia 5–10 November 1935 for London Transport. In 1940 both sisters also contributed murals to the liner RMS Queen Elizabeth.

During World War II, Anna Zinkeisen worked as a Medical Artist and nursing auxiliary in the Order of St John at St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington. After completing a day's shift working on a ward as a casualty nurse, Zinkeisen would use a disused operating theatre as her studio to work on her paintings. During the conflict she painted scenes in the hospital and depictions of air-raid victims. She also made pathological drawings of war injuries for the Royal College of Surgeons. Her self-portrait and her painting of the plastic surgeon Sir Archibald McIndoe are both exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery (London). Among her other portrait subjects were HRH Prince Phillip, Sir Alexander Fleming and Lord Beaverbrook.

In 1944, Anna and Doris Zinkeisen were commissioned by United Steel Companies (USC) to produce twelve paintings which were reproduced in the trade and technical press in Britain, Canada, Australia and South Africa. The images were subsequently collated in a book, This Present Age, published in 1946.

Anna Zinkeisen painted a mural, showing birds of the Bible (c. 1967), in memory of her husband Col. Guy Heseltine in St Botolph's church, Burgh, Suffolk.

The Morality of Infinity Train

For today's video, we are going to examine the moral philosophy of one of the most talked-about cartoons to air recently, Infinity Train. What does this story of the mysterious train have to tell us about morality, right and wrong, and developing into a good person? The ways we each answer these questions for ourselves can tell us a lot about how we come to shape the world.

Mabel McIndoe, who exhibited her art under her maiden name Mabel Hill, photographed by Francis Lawrence Jones at his studio in George Street, Dunedin. Hill moved to Dunedin after her wedding in January 1898.

Mabel Hill (3 March 1872 – 18 November 1956) was a New Zealand artist known for landscapes, portraits, and floral still lifes. She taught at the Wellington School of Design.

She was born at Cox's Creek, Auckland, New Zealand, the youngest child of Charles Hill, a hatter, and his wife, Eliza Ann Hulbert. Her eight siblings included the composer Alfred Hill. In 1875, the family moved to Wellington.

Hill attended primary school but not secondary school; instead, she went directly to the Wellington School of Design to study art in 1886. During her time at the Wellington School of Design, she met and was heavily influenced by the Scottish artist James M. Nairn, who introduced her to contemporary European art movements, especially Impressionism. She subsequently became a teacher at the school, remaining until 1897.

In 1898 she married John McIndoe, a printer, with whom she had four children. Her son John McIndoe was also an artist and later ran the family printing firm. Her son Archibald McIndoe was a plastic surgeon.

After their marriage, Hill and her husband moved to Dunedin, where they built a house with a studio for Hill. John died in 1916, and Hill then ran the printing business until her son took over.

She travelled extensively after her children left home until the outbreak of the Second World War, visiting the United States (where her son Archibald lived for a time), Tahiti, and Europe. At the end of the war, she left New Zealand to settle permanently in England to be near Archibald. She died in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

Students entertain theatricals. 1934. Russell Clark, Dunedin. Museum of New Zealand. This animated group was painted by Russell Clark during the Depression, at a time when the artist was working in Dunedin as a commercial illustrator for the printing firm John McIndoe Ltd. The painting perfectly captures the character and dress of young bohemians in Dunedin, which was a leading centre of culture in the 1930s. The Dunedin art world While Clark worked as a commercial artist, he had a good deal of contact with the local art scene. He held regular life-drawing classes in his studio at McIndoes. These lively gatherings brought together many young artists, including Colin McCahon and Doris Lusk. Students Entertain Theatricals emphasises Clark's commitment to his own production as an artist during this period. 'Commercial' and 'fine' art A popular topic of debate in the 1930s was the position of the artist as worker. Views on the roles of the 'commercial' and 'fine' artist were polarised. Students Entertain Theatricals suggests that Clark didn't maintain an absolute distinction. Here, he uses techniques learnt through commercial illustration to capture his subject. Claiming that he started as a commercial artist during the Depression to make a living when he couldn't afford the 'indulgence' of the arts, Clark in fact continued to do commercial work throughout his life.

When British physicians traveled to India in the late 1700s

When British physicians traveled to India in the late 1700s, they chronicled nose surgeries in 1794.. Blair treated World War I soldiers and his paper “Reconstructive Surgery of the Face” became the bible for facial reconstruction work for years.The devastating effects of war played a role in the advances in the field. Sushruta, the father of Indian surgery, made contributions to the field of plastic surgery in the 6th century BC. However, in 2007, the Mandell-Brown Cosmetic Surgery Center reported a large spike in procedures for men had been occurring for several years as well., Heinrich von Pfolspeundt advanced the field when he took skin from the how often to clean baby batht back of the arm and used stitches to secure it in place on a patient's nose. It was through these treatments that doctors got continual work in plastic surgery and advances were made.John Peter Mettauer is regarded as the first American plastic surgeon,. in India. The organization created the first qualifying exam for surgeons and was the main source of information regarding the field in the United States.The field exploded in the 1960s and 1970s with people electing to have procedures done to improve their appearance instead of opting for reconstruction work after injuries.The ancient Egyptians and Romans were early performers, with the Romans known to be doing simple procedures from the 1st century B. Advances in plastic surgery were very slow in evolving for centuries.Because self-improvement has always been a drive Jug Mould of mankind, plastic surgery – the repairing and restoring of function and beauty - dates back to the earliest of times.C.Gillies was also noted for performing the first female-to-male sex reassignment surgery in 1946. His cousin, Archibald McIndoe, expanded treatment procedues when caring for members of the Royal Air Force.During World War I, Harold Gillies, working in London, developed many techniques that are common in modern plastic surgery. ., but become a more common practice by 800 B. Using instruments he designed himself, Mettauer performed the first cleft palate operation in North America in 1827. Plastic surgery in the Western world was led by Joseph Constantine Carpue.Elective cosmetic procedures became a way for women to improve their appearance in the 20th and early 21st centuries.In the middle of the 15th century A.C. Dealing with severely wounded and burned soldiers becasue of the weapons used in war, more devastating facial injuries were brought to doctors. The organization is now called the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and is the largest plastic surgery association in the world. In 1814, he replaced the nose of a British military officer. Louis, and other American surgeons.Plastic surgery continued to evolve in the 20th century under Vilray Blair, a plastic surgeon at Washington University in St.In 1896, James Israel, a German urological surgeon, used free-bone grafting to repair saddle nose defects; and in 1889, surgeon Jacques Joseph advanced reduction rhinoplasty.This kind of procedure was conducted as early as 2000 B. The organization, the first of its kind in America, applied rules and regulations to plastic surgery. Other advances in American plastic surgery include: Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach introducing re-operation to improve the appearance of the reconstructed nose; and in 1891, American otorinolaryngologist John Roe reducing the dorsal nasal hump on a young woman.C.D.In 1931, structure was brought to the field in the United States through the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons

Sittie Yadjiera Marohom Issue: Death Penalty Thesis: Yes to Death Penalty

Death penalty has been part of the justice system since the beginning of the civilization and has accepted as fair punishment by governmental bodies of any period of time. The capital punishment has become more human however the execution may be processed the point is that they still take place today. The issue on death penalty is that some think it is immoral and inhumane while some think it is just and necessary for building a well-established governmental system.

 I, as a supporter of death penalty thinks that it is necessary in order to lessen moreover prevent such unthinkable crimes that may happen. Do you remember the Maguindanao massacre where at least 57 defenseless civilians were killed or the Vizconde massacre where 47-year-old Estrellita Vizconde was found dead lying in bed with 13 stab wounds beside her seven-year-old daughter Jennifer, who succumbed to 19 stab wounds. On the floor at the foot of the bed was 18-year-old Carmela – naked, raped and stabbed 17 times. Jeffry Dahmer who murdered 17 men and children, and who not only dismembered his victims’ bodies, he also ate some of his victims (biography2012); or John Wane Gacy who murdered 33 men and children while dressed as a clown and before murdering them raping the victims, this man’s last word were “kiss my ass” (biography2012). These people who killed those innocent humans obviously got no regrets after committing those that’s why death penalty was a correct punishment for these people.

 Death penalty should not be given freely to those who murders a person because you don’t know what situation they are dealing with, the point is death penalty should only be given to those people who committed a very serious crime because whatever our opinion towards death penalty, one thing most of us don’t know is the pain of those family members experiencing. The thirst of justice for their loved ones that was killed and death penalty should be imposed in order to prevent those individuals to prevent revenge and do their own version of justice. Because if the victim killed the perpetrator then the victim become the perpetrator and it will be crime after crime.

  Why should the killer be alive if the victim never had a choice? Therefore, death penalty should be impose because in that way it will prevent a bigger problem to arise and we can have a fair justice. Like what Cicero of Greece said “Let the punishment match the offense”.

How to Safeguard Your Tech, and Your Money, While Traveling

Experts strongly recommend not connecting to unsecured public Wi-Fi systems anywhere in the world, not only at coffee shops but also in airports and hotels.

Travel companies were hit by one data breach after another last year — firms including Marriott, British Airways, Delta Air Lines and the travel booking site Orbitz.

Marriott estimates that as a result of its breach — in which the reservation database of Starwood-branded hotels in its portfolio was hacked — 383 million guest records could have been affected and 5.25 million unencrypted passport numbers were possibly compromised. And experts expect breaches in the travel sector will continue.

“Travel companies are a prime target of cyber thefts” because they have “highly sensitive, personally identifiable information,” said Eva Velasquez, chief executive of the Identity Theft Resource Center, a national nonprofit organization in San Diego that supports victims of identity theft and seeks to broaden public awareness.

But travellers do have options to protect their information.

Bruce McIndoe, president of WorldAware, a risk management company, recommends creating a “digital persona” when booking travel or making other online transactions. This can include setting up a new, disposable phone number using a service like Google Voice and RingCentral to screen any calls based on caller ID and to forward these to the phone number that you want to protect.

Mr McIndoe also suggests creating what he calls a throwaway email address, to be used only when booking online, to protect your actual personal or work email from theft. You can also keep your home and work addresses private with a service like iPostal1.com, PhysicalAddress.com and PostScanMail.com, which can create a new mailing address for you. And you can rent a post office box from the United States Postal Service, though this cannot be used for many online transactions.

There are many steps you can take to protect any device you bring on business trips. If you work for a large company or service provider, like a law or accounting firm, your employer may be able to provide clean devices, even some with special protections appropriate for whatever destination you visit.

Before leaving on a trip, Sam Rubin, a vice president of the Crypsis Group, a cybersecurity consulting firm, advises all travellers, regardless of the size of their employer, to make sure their laptops are encrypted, via software like BitLocker for Windows laptops or FileVault, for Macs. He also suggests backing up data regularly, installing application updates and deleting unneeded and old data from devices.

The Global Business Travel Association, a trade group for a business travel agency, suggests using a privacy filter on your laptop and tablet screen when you’re travelling. To prevent theft, lock your devices when you’re not using them, through a PIN, password protection or physical locks and alarms. The group also recommends using a juice-jack protector — attached to the end of your USB cord — to protect against data skimmers when you plug the cord into a public charging station. If you bring your own charging device, you won’t need a public charger.

Experts strongly recommend not connecting to unsecured public Wi-Fi systems anywhere in the world, not only at coffee shops like Starbucks but also in airports and hotels, among other places. If you must use these, Si-Yeon Kim, chief risk and compliance officer of American Express Global Business Travel, suggests minimizing the number of documents you open and being careful of whatever information you transmit.

Christel Cao-Delebarre, the global privacy officer in London for Carlson Wagonlit Travel, a travel management company, advises being “very careful about speaking with colleagues and possibly sharing confidential information in public places.” She also urges travellers not to leave confidential documents unattended either in conference or guest rooms at hotels and elsewhere.

When it comes to working online, Mr Rubin advises using two-factor authentication on all Internet-accessible accounts. He suggests locking and password-protecting your mobile phone and configuring it to automatically lock after a period of inactivity, and using secure passwords, with a different password for each device and account. Password managers like LastPass and Keeper can help you remember and manage these.

As for making purchases online, consider signing up for a credit card to be used only for such transactions. You also can set up a virtual credit card for a one-time purchase whose cost you can limit. Some of these can also be used to pay for recurring charges; those amounts can also be limited. Virtual credit cards are issued by companies such as Bank of America, Citi, Capital One, American Express and Privacy.com. According to Mr Rubin, if the virtual credit card is compromised, it should have no impact on your physical card.

Another payment option, possibly more secure than credit cards, is PayPal, said Robert Austin, president of KoreLogic, a cybersecurity company.

BCD Travel, another travel management company, and TravelManor advises against posting pictures online of your itineraries, tickets or boarding passes. It also urges travellers to never leave their boarding passes and tickets on an aeroplane or in a hotel room and to shred these once you’ve used them, all steps to keep cyberthieves from obtaining your travel details. Another protective measure is to use digital boarding passes issued by the airline, and apps like BCD’s TripSource, TripLingo, Apple Wallet and Google Pay. This information will be protected by the security code on your mobile phone even if the phone is lost or stolen.

John Reed Stark, former chief of the S.E.C.’s Office of Internet Enforcement and author of “The Cybersecurity Due Diligence Handbook,” advises setting up your credit card account to automatically notify you of all transactions via email or its app, which he said will make you aware of every transaction as it occurs. He also suggests setting up a separate email account for these alerts, so you can easily track them and not clog up other accounts.

To further track any suspicious activity, he advises subscribing to a credit and identity monitoring company — such as Experian, TransUnion or Equifax — that can provide alerts relating to your credit rating, credit cards and banking.

For additional protection, Mr Rubin suggests the purchase of an individual cybersecurity insurance policy, offered by companies like Chubb and NAS Insurance. Although such policies have long existed for businesses, individual policies are a new development.

Henry Harteveldt, president of Atmosphere Research Group, a travel research company, said his company had found that a growing number of travellers were becoming uncomfortable with sharing their personal information with travel sellers.

“The lesson for travel suppliers here is that no matter how good they think their cybersecurity hardware and software practices are, they may never be good enough,” Mr Harteveldt said. “Sadly, there will be one hacker a step ahead at some travel company.”

Dobber Ramblings: Day Two of the NHL Playoffs; Gusev; Defence Scoring – April 12

  There may be reinforcements on the way for Vegas as Nikita Gusev, the 26-year old Russian who was traded to the Golden Knights by Tampa Bay as part of the package to draft Jason Garrison in the expansion draft, could be in Vegas soon.

You can read Gusev’s Dobber Prospects profile here.

Nothing is a done deal yet. Gusev is under contract in the KHL through the end of the month, which means some negotiating will need to be completed, and the Russian Federation has recalled him ahead of the 2019 World Championships, which is another hurdle. Then he has to actually make his way to Vegas and suit up. All the same, it would be exciting to see him in the playoffs.

*

Just a small thing, but Ilya Samsonov, Washington’s top goalie prospect, was on the ice for morning skate on Thursday. Barring catastrophic injuries, he won’t get into game action, but it’s still pretty cool to see him on NHL ice nonetheless.

*

Just for a bit of fun, there was an article over at The Athletic from Sean McIndoe about the “what ifs” of the draft lottery. These are games involving teams near or around the picks that would end up in the top-3 and how things would be different if small little quirks in those games hadn’t gone the right way. Hockey is about razor-thin margins, even when it comes to draft positioning.

*

The Leafs were flat-out the better team in Game 1 as they skated away with a 4-1 win over Boston. The speed from Toronto, combined with precision passing, led to odd-man opportunity after odd-man opportunity for the team. They even got a short-handed penalty shot when Mitch Marner broke free on a penalty kill (he converted). Frederik Andersen had to make 37 saves, but a lot of those saves weren’t near the quality of shots Tuukka Rask was facing at the other end.

Something to note: Jake Gardiner played 16:32 in this game, fifth-lowest among Leafs blue liners. That’s the second-lowest mark of the season for him, his lowest being 16:30 in the game he was injured on February 25th. The Leafs were nursing a 3-1 lead for much of the game so maybe Mike Babcock was just saving him unless they desperately needed him? Just something to keep an eye on.

*

Andrei Svechnikov scored a pair of third-period goals to make things interesting for Carolina, but Washington’s Lars Eller tallied an empty netter to seal a 4-2 win for the Capitals. At least for the first 20 minutes, this looked like a game between a defending Stanley Cup champion and a (mostly) young team with several players playing their first postseason contest.

Nicklas Backstrom had a pair of goals, including a beautiful curl-and-snap shot that beat Petr Mrazek on the glove side, using the Carolina defenceman as a screen.

John Carlson played over 25 minutes, registering three assists, two blocked shots, and four hits along the way.

*

Update on the late game in the morning.

*

Yesterday in these Ramblings I talked a lot about defence scoring trends. While there is a lot more to dig into, which I will dig into at some point in the offseason, I want to look at actual defence scoring. Let’s go through some of the offensive performances across the NHL this season.

  Erik Gustafsson

There is a whole lot going on here. Coming into the season, Gustafsson was a 26-year old who’d been drafted by the Oilers in 2012, spent a few post-lockout seasons in Sweden, bounced between the AHL and NHL for a couple years, and then exploded for 60 points this year.

Of course, what stands out immediately is that he shot over 10 percent. That’s pretty high for a blue liner. For reference, in 2017-18, Alex Goligoski shot 10.1 percent and followed that up this year with a 2.9 percent season; in 2016-17, John Klingberg shot 10.5 percent and followed that up in 2017-18 with a 3.9 percent season; in the same year, Nick Holden shot an insane 13.1 percent and that crashed to five percent in 2017-18. That isn’t to say every defenceman with a high shooting percentage always craters – Shea Weber has usually done pretty well – but the odds aren’t in Gustafsson’s favour.

That isn’t to say Gustafsson’s season is a fluke. When looking at additional stats like the rate at which he exits his zone or enters the offensive zone with possession and how he can find his teammates for shots via shot assists, we certainly see how good he was. Here’s how his 2018-19 season compares to the 2017-18 season another top-end puck-moving defenceman (from CJ Turtoro’s viz):

  As I wrote about yesterday on Eric Cernak, one season does not make a career, but despite the high shooting percentage, it was a marvelous campaign for Gustafsson.

The question is if he maintains his power-play role; he had more than 100 minutes at five-on-four over the next-closest Blackhawks defenceman. Henri Jokiharju looked great whenever they allowed him to play in the NHL and Adam Boqvist was a top-10 pick last year for the franchise and has been tearing up the OHL playoffs to the tune of nine goals and 12 points in eight games. It seems certain that unless he falls off the map (he won’t), Gustafsson should have the PP role for 2019-20. Beyond that? Less certain.

  Torey Krug

Speaking of Krug, we can only wonder the season he would have had if he had played 80 games. Among defencemen in the league this year, Krug:

Was third in points per minute behind Mark Giordano and Brent Burns

Was first in totals assists per minute

Was eighth in primary points per minute

Was third in primary assists per minute

Was 18th in shots per minute

Krug set a career-high in assists for a single season with 47 and did so in just 64 games.

It was just a marvelous season all around, but the true upside was limited by injury. It’s worth noting that his missed time was out of the norm for him; in his five previous seasons, he had never missed more than six games and averaged 79 games a season. I wouldn’t worry too much about some lingering injury history.

With Krug still in his prime and that Boston team loaded for another run next year regardless of how this year turns out, I would expect more of the same from Krug.

  Vince Dunn

When using the Dobber Tools report generator, we can easily find which defencemen led the league in individual points percentage (IPP) at even strength. IPP is the rate at which a player garners a point when a goal is scored with that player on the ice. You will typically see the elite defencemen; last year, the top-5 included Burns, Krug, Pietrangelo, and Klingberg. The year before it was Burns, Hamilton, Karlsson, Jones, and Shattenkirk. Some guys find their way into the top-10 with some luck – names like Skjei, Severson, and Braun appear – but they’re mostly top-end puck-movers. That’s what makes this list from 2018-19 so interesting:

    The two names that really stick out are Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour. We’ll save Montour for another day.

Dunn has long been thought of as an offensive defenceman. He had 99 points over his final 120 games in the OHL and had 45 points in 72 games as a 20-year old rookie in the AHL back in 2016-17. That we see him among the leaders in a category that helps point us in the direction of puck movers shouldn’t be a huge surprise.

Here’s the thing: there’s not a whole lot to support that Dunn is a top-end puck-mover from the blue line (yet). Without inundating with charts, his zone entry/exit rates and shot-assist rates pale in comparison to someone like Gustafsson. It’s worth noting that these numbers, specifically shot-assists, were a lot better in 2017-18 than in 2018-19, and this season’s tracking data isn’t yet complete. Maybe his numbers improved a lot in the second half as the rest of the team improved with him. I’m more than willing to give some time for more data to be collected before making a final determination.

All I’m saying for now is that I’m leery of predicting some sort of Gustafsson-esque breakout. There is still Alex Pietrangelo’s ice time to contend with and Colton Parayko isn’t someone to just eschew. Of course, Dunn is still just 22 years old, so the fact that we’re even talking about the possibility of him being a good playmaker from the blue line is a very good sign.

  Neal Pionk

When we look at the list of top producers per minute from the blue line at five-on-four, most of the names make sense. We see Krug, Byfuglien, Yandle, Hedman, and Rielly, among others. The defenceman who finished second in points/60 minutes at five-on-four this year (minimum of 100 minutes)? Yeah, I kinda gave it away. It was Pionk. In fact, over the last two years, he leads all defencemen in points/60 minutes on the power play. Yes, all defencemen. Granted, it’s limited ice time (140 minutes or so), but it’s been an unbelievable run.

I think a bit of caution should be used here. Pionk had a poor season defensively, as much of the rest of the team did. Tony DeAngelo had a good season for the team even if David Quinn wouldn’t play him every night. Kevin Shattenkirk is still lurking and I’m sure he’d like to have a rebound season of his own. I’m not entirely sure what the Rangers are going to do on the blue line next year. I’m not entirely sure the Rangers know what the Rangers are going to do on the blue line next year.

All I wanted to point out is that there could be some sneaky value should A) Pionk be a regular next year again and B) no one else is brought in. There are a lot of moving parts that can change in the next 5-6 months.

  Filip Hronek

Just wanted to include what a great season Hronek had. The 21-year old was among the top-10 defencemen in relative shot share at five-on-five. That’s in the league, mind you.

Hronek had 13 points in 22 games after his recall from the AHL in the middle of February, including nearly 22 minutes of ice time per night. By that point, the team was casting off, or getting ready to cast off, tradeable assets like Nick Jensen and Gustav Nyquist. Mike Green’s season was nearly over by that point. All this is to say that Hronek did fairly well down the stretch considering the Red Wings were largely a one-line team with Andreas Athanasiou providing some additional scoring. Pretty good for a rookie defenceman.
