Two years into his tenure as Head Coach, three questions Walter Bowen will have to answer this season

Jasmine Downey, staff writer

Question number 1: Will the Nighthawks finally make the playoffs after a six-year drought?

I know, I know, we’re starting off strong, but it’s the question everyone wants answered. Six years ago in 2018, the Nighthawks were ousted from the Stanley Cup playoffs by the Colorado Avalanche, and then-GM Howard Gagnon cleaned house, trading most of his star players across the league, trading down for picks in the draft, and firing beloved head coach Erik Demers, who then went on to win the Stanley Cup with two different teams in the years since. After the disastrous following year, a spate of injuries and awful coaching from replacement coach Alexander Stuart, the Nighthawks landed in a squarely mediocre position in the standings, and only got worse from there.

Recently, with new GM Isaiah Chambers, head coach Walter Bowen, who has not done anything to warrant firing (yet) and the peaceful transference of power to owner Arthur Lindsay, the Nighthawks have been getting slightly better, both on the ice and in the front office. They picked Anatoly Zikov 2nd overall in the 2021 draft, and while waiting for his KHL contract to end, have been slowly piecing together a team that looks vaguely like the beginnings of a playoff-caliber club.

However, now that we know Zikov is on his way over, what do we need Bowen to do this season?

First of all, the Nighthawks deserve to make the playoffs this season. Michael Houck and Lee Bartlett aren’t getting any younger. Bartlett hasn’t had the opportunity to play in many playoff games, after his late-season injury kept him out of the 2017 playoffs, and the 2018 series against LA and then Colorado were pretty short-lived, and Houck has played [checks NHL.com] zero total playoff games. Plus, Zikov is a potential generational talent and a near lock for the Hall of Fame, so why not get him some playoff games right off the bat? Some of the kids on this team — and there are a lot of kids on this team — should also get some experience playing games that actually have consequences. If Bowen wants to keep this job, the Nighthawks need the playoffs.

2. Special teams

The Nighthawks’ penalty kill last year… well, we all saw it. It had holes bigger than the ones in the ozone layer and problems you could see from space, and the only reason it wasn’t dead last was because of Simon Dahlvig. Assistant coach Chelsea Sheppard has taken over the special teams position for now, but if there aren’t any major improvements, Bowen might need to take drastic measures.

It wasn’t as though the power play was much better; at 26th in the league, it was an insufficient group. Things are looking up with the acquisition of Michael Yeung in the offseason, who was a force on the Rangers' power play, and it’s clear that the Nighthawks are hoping for some of that magic to translate to the ice in Arizona. But Bowen has a lot of work to do with the kids; Yeung alone certainly can't fix that.

3. Nic Proulx

There’s no limit to the amount of sympathy we can extend Proulx, but we also want to see the Nighthawks play well. With limp numbers for the past two years and zero chemistry with every line Bowen tried him on, he’s been something of a stick in the mud for the Nighthawks these past two years. An upcoming RFA, if he wants to stay in Arizona with the team that drafted him, he is desperately going to need a huge change in his play. 

Will it be Zikov? Will they put him on Ezra Page’s wing for the millionth time, hoping something will finally work? Will Lee Bartlett’s incessant fathering finally produce a happy, well-rounded hockey player? We’ve seen flashes, brief, brief flashes of brilliance from Proulx, bare moments of the athlete we know we can be and that we saw in his career in the Q, as captain of the Voltigeurs. We want that all the time. If Bowen can do something to bring that out, we might have on our hands the longest-tenured coach in the NHL today.

I had a fantastic day yesterday!

As many of you know this year marks 25 years since Pokémon: The First Movie ‘Mewtwo Strikes Back’ was released. To celebrate, MCM London Comic Con - which was held this weekend - decided to stage a reunion for the original English dub cast of the anime. The convention organisers had managed to get the amazing Veronica Taylor (Ash), Eric Stuart (Brock and James), Jay Goede aka Philip Bartlett (Mewtwo in ‘Mewtwo Strikes Back’), and Rachael Lillis (Misty and Jessie), plus Dan Green (Mewtwo in ‘Mewtwo Returns’ and Entei in ‘Spell of the Unown’) as guests!

As you can imagine thousands of fans descended on the convention to have the chance to meet their childhood heroes, myself included. (I’ll pop the rest under a read-more to save your dashboards lol).

I still have a real soft spot for Pokémon and it has, to date, been my longest loved fandom; especially the character Mewtwo. As a kid and then teen, he was the character I really felt a connection to. I think a lot of fans did. It was also thanks to the first movie that I met a lot of friends in online fan forums and websites (ah, Geocities fan-sites and the ToM forum, you will always be missed).

I have actually met Jay once before at Wales Comic Con in April 2022 and I found him to be very friendly and charming, making time for everyone who came to his autograph booth. So, when I found he had a Facebook and Instagram account following Wales Comic Con, I followed him there as he makes some really great artwork. I never expected him to follow me back, or just casually chat with me! (If you had told 11-16 year old me that she would meet and chat online with the voice of Mewtwo, she would have melted into a puddle of fangirl goo 😂, and to be honest, I’m still kind of star-struck now)!

Naturally, I wore a lot of Mewtwo and Pokémon themed items to celebrate the occasion and made my way over to the autograph tables when I eventually got in the venue. It was so crowded! I’d made sure to bring a little something for the voice actors to say thank you for basically making my childhood and teen years special, and queued up to see them all, starting with Jay.

Jay recognised me as soon as I got to the front of the queue at his table and greeted me with a big smile and ‘Oh wow you’re here, that’s great!’ after we chatted briefly he asked if it was okay to give me a hug. I said sure, though he couldn’t find a way around the tables (they were all in a long line reaching right down the main hall) so saying ‘Hold on I’m finding a way round’ he then (to the amusement of his assistant and others in the queue) proceeded to crawl under the autograph tables, got up and gave me a big hug, then took a selfie with me. He’s an absolute sweetheart. My day was made right there! I also managed to get two of his original Mewtwo paintings. They’re brilliant, and I love them to bits.

I got my Mewtwo Strikes Back novel autographed and chatted with Jay a bit more before going to queue for the photo-ops. They were great fun.

I queued back up again after to try to get the rest of the casts’ autographs. The lines for them all, especially Veronica, were huge! I loved chatting with fellow fans whilst we waited, and every single cast member was so friendly, taking the time to really interact with everyone.

Dan Green made me laugh as when he gave me his autograph, he saw Jay’s signature and signed his ‘Dan “Mew-too” Green’ and explained he did it because ‘We share him, he was first though, so Mew-too for me makes sense’ 😆 He’s a sweet guy.

Eric and Veronica were so cool, doing impressions for younger fans who came to see them, and making sure all the fans had a great experience. Veronica spends a good amount of time with every single fan, which is just amazing considering the sheer amount of people who were waiting to meet her.

Rachael and her assistant loved my denim jacket (it has a huge embroidered Jigglypuff patch on the back as well as other iron on patches on the sleeves) and as Jigglypuff’s VA, Rachael was happy to see it.

It was such a great atmosphere there and a lot of fun. I’m so glad I went and got to meet the cast that defined my childhood.

l'extropie est un néologisme désignant l'inverse de l'entropie.. L'entropie peut être perçue comme le degré de désordre d'un système. C'est un terme lié au second principe de la thermodynamique et donc à l'énergie. Et je vais tenter de l'expliquer brièvement.

Il part de l'observation d'un fait par Sadi Carnot, la chaleur va naturellement du chaud vers le froid. Pour aller du froid vers le chaud cela nécessite un "travail mécanique" donc une dépense d'énergie. Mais lors de ce travail mécanique l'énergie va se "dissiper".

Cela signifie qu'une partie de l'énergie ne va pas être conservée mais perdue et donc inutilisable pour effectuer un nouveau travail mécanique. Un système clos va alors tendre vers l'entropie maximale atteinte lorsqu'il n'y a plus d'énergie utilisable. L'énergie est dissipée.

L'entropie mesure alors le degré de désordre ou de dissipation de l'énergie et cette dissipation est irréversible. Il semblerait alors que l'Univers se dirige inéluctablement vers l'entropie maximale, sa mort thermique.

Pourtant on observe des éléments ordonnés dans l'Univers comme les galaxies, les étoiles, les planètes, les humains, leurs sociétés etc qui déjouent cette loi thermodynamique. Ils le peuvent car ce sont des systèmes ouverts qui vont se nourrir de l'énergie de leur environnement.

Par ce biais, ils vont augmenter leur "extropie" mais ce mot est un peu malheureux car ils ne vont jamais que retarder leur entropie maximale en la réduisant temporairement et localement. Ils finiront par mourir quoi qu'il arrive donc atteindre l'entropie maximale.

En cela ils ne déjouent pas les principes de la thermodynamique, ils les favorisent même. Tous ces éléments sont ce qu'Ilya Prigogine appellent des structures dissipatives. C'est à dire que leur rôle est d'augmenter l'entropie de leur environnement en réduisant la leur localement

Une structure dissipative va chercher à augmenter son ordre au prix de l'augmentation du désordre qui l'entoure. Là où cela devient intéressant est que l'ordre va être intimement lié à l'information. On le sait grâce aux travaux de Claude Shannon sur la théorie de l'information.

Ainsi, une structure dissipative gagne en ordre en construisant l'information lui permettant de s'adapter à son environnement afin d'en maximiser la dissipation d'énergie ou la production d'entropie.

À un niveau d'abstraction suffisant, l'intelligence peut alors effectivement être vue comme ce qui guide le comportement afin de gagner en ordre, extropie, en construisant l'information.

La vie peut alors être vue comme, selon les termes de Stuart Bartlett, une structure dissipative autocatalytique capable d’homéostasie et d’apprentissage. Elle va croître et se développer (autocatalyse), s’adapter sans cesse aux évolutions du monde et de son environnement afin de se maintenir (homéostasie) et construire l’information (apprentissage).

De la même façon, un système cybernétique va construire l’information (apprentissage) en reposant sur des boucles positives accélérant le changement (auto-catalyse) et des boucles négatives assurant la stabilité (homéostasie).

C’est pourquoi Heidegger dira, à regret, lors d’une interview pour Spiegel que la cybernétique est l’achèvement de la philosophie, le destin spirituel de l’Occident accompli.

Synopsis: In 1893 Massachusetts, Lizzie Andrew Borden is put on trial for murdering her father and stepmother with an axe.

  Director: Paul Wendkos

Writer: William Bast

Selected cast:

Elizabeth Montgomery as Lizzie Borden

Fionnula Flanagan as Bridget Sullivan

Ed Flanders as Hosea Knowlton

Katherine Helmond as Emma Borden

Don Porter as George Robinson

Fritz Weaver as Andrew Borden

Bonnie Bartlett as Sylvia Knowlton

Gail Kobe as Alice Russell

Hayden Rorke as Julien Ralph

Amzie Strickland as Adelaide Churchill

Robert Symonds as Andrew Jennings

Gloria Stuart as Store Customer

The Legend of Lizzie Borden, an ABC Monday night movie of the week, is Bill’s pick. He’s always loved Elizabeth Montgomery and this film blew him away. He describes it as far creepier than most TV fare of the time and though the blood now seems understated, it was plenty enough for the time.

Learning it was a true story after hearing his mom recite the rhyme, Chad then watched The Legend of Lizzie Borden with his mom. It gave him nightmares as a youngster and though not as creepy now, it’s still a compelling thriller. Jeff points out the emphasis on women’s plight – their position in society of the time – given in The Legend of Lizzie Borden. He also loves the well-known character actors in the cast – Katherine Helmond, Fionnula Flanagan, Bonnie Bartlett, Ed Flanders, and Don Porter – and the first reappearance of Gloria Stuart after a 29-year absence from film.

The 70s Grue Crew gives unanimous praise to Elizabeth Montgomery for her Emmy-nominated performance and gives the movie a strong recommendation. As of this writing, The Legend of Lizzie Borden is available to stream from Amazon Prime.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode in their very flexible schedule, in a departure from what was originally announced, will be Creature from Black Lake (1976) starring Jack Elam and Dub Taylor and featuring the cinematography of Dean Cundey.
