 rating (and a hat trick in just his third NHL game) have been enough for the minds in Edmonton to roll the dice and bring the skinny fella to Denver. If he plays, it'll be his 10th game and he's an NHLer for realz.
On the other side of the ice, Gabriel Landeskog has been everything Avalanche fans hoped for and more. He's strong, sound, and always seemingly makes the right play from the right spot. He plays with a maturity beyond his years, he plays like a man. Landy has also racked up some important points and plays crucial minutes in all situations for the Avs. He's third in rookie scoring with 4G, 2A for 6PTS and is a +2. He also leads all rookie forwards in time on ice. He also leads the Avs in shots and is second on the team with 23 hits, behind Cody McLeod's 26.
Landeskog and Ryan Newton-John-Hopkins will draw comparisons to each other for the next few years, if not their entire careers, and one of these two young'uns will probably walk away with the Calder trophy in June, but both are talented kids enjoying successful rookie seasons living out their childhood dreams. Let's hope RNH's dream turns into a nightmare tonight as the Avalanche take down their division foes.
Several other storylines to keep an eye on tonight when the puck drops:
- Battle for first place in the division tonight.The leagues two last place teams in 2010-2011 battle tonight for 1st place in the Northwest Division. Both teams have drafted well recently and are constructed with a lot of youth built from within.
- The return of Cap'n Canada to Pepsi center as an Oiler.
- Can the Avs score their first win at home, and their first goal at Pepsi Center that is actually a shot on goal and not a 'lucky' ricochet?
- Which Duchene will show up? The one who played the least amount of minutes of anyone on the team in the first period at Calgary on Wednesday night, or the spinning, whirling, offensive demon that showed up in the third period against the Flames?
- The Oliers played last night and won in dramatic fashion vs the previously undefeated Caps. Hopefully a hangover and jetlag accompany them to the Mile High City.A traditional Apsara dancer performing in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
While in Siem Reap viewing the temples I went along to one of the evening cultural shows. I was pleasantly surprised by a very professional production.
At the back of the stage was an impressive caving of Angkor Wat providing the background to this image. The lightening was excellent and so there is no flash used here. The costumes were authentic and looked fabulous. The dancers themselves were very talented and it’s great to see an art form like this being revived as it almost died out under the Khmer Rouge.
I certainly enjoyed it so I hope you enjoy the image.

Read full story on CBCNews.New Delhi, Sep 27: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has informed the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) that it had raised with Pakistan the forced religious conversion of a Sikh woman and conveyed that it is expected that strict action would be taken against those responsible.
In a statement, the NCM said it had taken cognizance of media reports regarding abduction and forcible conversion of a Sikh girl in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area, news agency PTI reported.
NCM chief Iqbal Singh Lalpura through a letter dated August 22 had requested the Minister of External Affairs to take up the matter with his counterpart in Pakistan so that this type of incident is not repeated and appropriate steps are taken to prevent and combat hate, and secure the safety of Sikhs in Pakistan.
Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar, in a letter dated September 17, informed NCM chief that the government has taken note of the incident and as soon as the report of the incident was received, it raised the matter with the Pakistan government through diplomatic channels, conveying grave concerns at such a shocking and deplorable incident, the statement said. The government also shared its expectations that the government of Pakistan will sincerely investigate the matter and take strict action against those responsible for this incident, it said.
The government also shared the concern in Indian society over the continued persecution of religious and ethnic minorities in Pakistan.
Pakistan has also been called upon to ensure the safety, security and welfare of the members of the minority communities in Pakistan, including their places of worship, the statement said.
Reportedly, the Sikh woman, a teacher, from Buner district of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was abducted at gunpoint on August 20 and forcibly married to her abductor.
The status of thousands of Mesketian Turks living in Kyrgyzstan remains unresolved, more than half a century after being deported to the former Soviet republic by Stalin in the forties.
"Several days ago, I was very sick but I could not get treatment in hospital because I do not have citizenship, I still have the red Soviet passport. I am an invalid (disabled person). Last year I paid US $50 to lie in hospital," with tears in her eyes, Gulchehra Hazikova, a 48-year-old Meshitin-Turk, told IRIN in Novopavlovka village, near the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek.
"After the events in Ferghana valley in 1989 [ethnic riots that led to an exodus] I moved with my family to Kabardino-Balkaria [in the north Caucasus region of the Russian Federation]. I came to Kyrgyzstan in 1993, but still cannot get Kyrgyz citizenship," Faramuz Ahmedov, another Mesketian Turk from the same community, said.
Nearly 100,000 Meskhetian Turks were deported to Central Asia from their native Georgia in 1944 on Stalin's orders. Russia considered the Meskhetian Turks a problem on several fronts. As Turkish-speaking Muslims, Meskhetian Turks had strong social ties to Turkey and proved to be resistant as a group to Soviet assimilation. Roughly 15,000 people died of starvation or cold en route.
It has been suggested that Stalin saw Meskhetians as potential troublemakers, despite the fact that Meskhetians had exhibited no signs of disloyalty. On the contrary, more than half the 40,000 Meskhetian Turks in the Red Army died fighting Nazi forces.
In the 60 years since deportation, Meskhetian Turks have integrated into the region with varying degrees of success but their sense of ethnic and social identity remains strong. They continue to lobby for repatriation to Georgia.
