I was about to continue the pregame post I had saved earlier of tonight's game against Vancouver until I saw the headline on TSN's website. Reports are that New York Rangers top prospect Alexei Cherepanov collapsed on the bench near the end of the third period in tonight's game with his Russian team, Omsk. He died shortly thereafter in the hospital.
" 'He was a great kid,' Cherepanov's agent, Jay Grossman told TSN. 'He had a great smile and was an outstanding player with a great future on and off the ice. It's both shocking and devastating news for all of us. ' "
I was shocked last summer when Cherepanov dropped to the Rangers at 17th overall. All scouts had him tabbed as top-five level talent. I personally wanted the Caps to take him with the 5th pick.
This is a very sad day for hockey. He would have been a great player for the Rangers and extremely fun to watch in the NHL. Wish all the best to his family and his teammates. He was 19.

From http://www.website-awards.net/articles/article39.htm:
Bandwidth stealing is a serious problem, but many webmasters are not aware of this. Some don't even know what it is! This article defines bandwidth stealing and explains how it affects you. After reading this article, you will know why you shouldn't do it, how to avoid doing it, how to detect it, and how to deal with the offenders.
Owners of award programs are in a unique position to combat this problem. We are frequently visiting sites, and there are measures we can take when we come across one that is stealing bandwidth. Learn and apply these measures. By working together, we can all help to overcome the problem.
What Is Bandwidth?
When you surf the Internet or download a file, you are using bandwidth. Every time you click on a link to a Web page, your server sends a message to the remote server where the page is located and requests the page. The remote server, in turn, sends back all the files associated with that page. This transfer of data is called "bandwidth."
What Is Bandwidth Stealing?
You created a website and all the elements associated with that site, such as graphics, HTML files, sounds, and so forth. Under the copyright laws of most countries in the world, they belong to you, the creator. They are your property and nobody is allowed to copy or use them without your permission.
One day, while checking your server logs, you discover that the graphic you created as a link to a resource in your site has been accessed more times than the page it's located on. "How can this be," you wonder. "Shouldn't it be loaded the same number of times as the page?"
Later you're looking through the list of referral sites in your server logs. Out of curiosity, you click on the link to a site that referred the page you were wondering about. There, in the middle of the page, is a copy of your graphic and it's linked to your page. "Isn't that wonderful," you think, forgetting about the copyright issue for the moment. "He's linking to my site."
Still curious, and perhaps a little bit proud, you open and examine the source code for this page. Guess what! The webmaster did not store the graphic on his server. To save his own bandwidth, he has coded the link to call it from your server. This is called "bandwidth stealing."
