Forty Years Ago — 1973-74: Match 16
Everton visited Carrow Road hoping to put the defeat at Chelsea behind them and would attempt to avenge their defeat at the hands of Norwich City in the League Cup at Goodison Park the previous month. Since the Canaries had won at Goodison in the League Cup they had beaten Leicester City at Carrow Road and lost to Stoke City at the Victoria Ground which had left them level on points with 3rd from bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers on 12 points from 16 games played and 3 points adrift of Stoke City (15) a place above them in the league.
Due to the dearth of Everton-related news and the complete absence of the views of any of the Norwich City staff in this issue, I thought I would (especially for the younger readers) relate the information of the Everton team as given in the Pen Pictures of this programme.
David Lawson – Everton created a new record fee for a goalkeeper when they paid Huddersfield Town £80,000 for Dave in 1972. He was attached to both Newcastle United and Shrewsbury Town as a youngster but it wasn't until joining ill-fated Bradford Park Avenue that he got his first taste of league football.
Terry Darracott – Terry was still an apprentice when he made his league debut in 1967-68 and until winning a regular place this season he had been mostly a reserve player at Goodison Park.
Roger Kenyon – Roger took over from England centre-half Brian Labone three years earlier and had developed into a sound successor. Roger also made his debut in 1967-68.
John Hurst – John joined Everton from school after winning England Schoolboys' caps. In those days he was being hailed as 'another Tommy Lawton' but he was used in midfield and then moved back into defence. John was an ex-England Under-23 International.
John McLaughlin – Signed for £50,000 from Falkirk in October 1971 and though he spent his time at Falkirk as a Midfielder he was used as a defender.
Mike Buckley – A former Everton apprentice who turned professional in 1971, under manager Billy Bingham Mike was enjoying a long run in the Everton side.
Mike Bernard – Signed from Stoke City for £130,000, made his league debut for Stoke City in 1965-66 and played for Sir Alf Ramsey in the England Under-23 team.
Dave Clements – Signed from Sheffield Wednesday for £60,000 has 35 caps for Northern Ireland. Dave started his career in England with Wolverhampton Wanderers but failed to make the first-team, he moved on to Coventry City before joining Sheffield Wednesday in 1971 for £55,000.
Mike Lyons – Scored on his league debut against Nottingham Forest in March 1971. Mike became a full-time professional in July 1969.
Joe Harper – Everton's then club record signing at £180,000 when he joined the club from Aberdeenin 1972. Joe made his mark at Morton scoring 29 goals for the club when they topped the Scottish Second Division. Huddersfield Town signed Joe in 1967, but he didn't stay at Leeds Road long and re-joined Morton and scored another 27 goals for them in 1968-69 before he left to join Aberdeen where he gained full Scotland caps prior to moving to Goodison Park.
John Connolly – Signed from St Johnstone for £75,000 in 1972. Chief goalscorer for the Scottish club, he made his bow for St Johnstone in 1968 and was capped at Full and Under-23 level for Scotland.
David Irving – Signed from Workington Town for £25,000, Everton beating several other first division clubs to his signature. David was a former England Youth International who was mostly used as substitute.
The Canaries desperation for points had been helped when the unfortunate John McLaughlin had given them the lead with a goal at the wrong end, but Dave Clements scored the equaliser with a deflected shot off Duncan Forbes, from the edge of the area and then Mick Bernard had put Everton ahead. The two points were assured when the equally unfortunate Duncan Forbes reciprocated and scored the second own goal of the game following Mick Buckley's shot across the area, which had given Everton a two-goal cushion. The following programme stated that only Mick Bernard had been awarded a goal, with the other two goals being recorded as own goals for Everton.
The win put Everton (21) into joint 2nd place alongside Liverpool (21) who had beaten Ipswich Town (4-2) at Anfield and Newcastle United (21) who had defeated Manchester United (3-2) at St James's Park. Leeds United had remained unbeaten thanks to their victory over Coventry City (3-0) at Elland Road and they now had a 7-point lead at the top of the table. Everton's upcoming Division One fixtures at Goodison Park were to be against Newcastle United and Liverpool in the coming weeks.
Norwich City who were now a point adrift of Wolves and occupied the last of the relegation places, decided to terminate Ron Saunders's tenure at Carrow Road in the wake of this home defeat to Everton. In a strange quirk of fate, Ron's first game in charge of Norwich City in the top flight had been against Everton at Carrow Road in August 1972 which had ended in a one-all draw with Joe Royle scoring an equaliser in the last 10 minutes after Jim Bone had given Norwich City the lead in the first-half.

Thirty Years Ago — 1983-84: Match 16
As has been Everton's way throughout its history – and probably every fan of every other club thinks the same about their own side – consecutive defeats had removed the fans' rosy glow of optimism and it had been replaced with all those nagging doubts that re-appear when results hadn't gone the way that they had wanted them to. Yes! The 1983-84 side had obtained a decent centre-forward... and yes, they had on occasion produced reasonable football... but they had still found it painfully difficult to score goals in the top division throughout the 1983-84 campaign and the team had still retained that irritating habit of losing goals through bad play or ill fortune.
This meeting, played in December 1983, had also brought the First Division's top scorers, Manchester United (28), up against the league's lowest, Everton (9). Everton hadn't won at Old Trafford since they had beaten Manchester United (2-1) there in March 1978, when Bob Latchford had scored twice. Given the circumstances, a visit to Old Trafford was probably a more difficult fixture than Howard Kendall, the supporters and his team would have wanted for Everton FC at that particular point in time. It hadn't been all bad news of course as Everton still had a Milk Cup fourth round replay tie at Goodison to look forward to, but it is in the league that a team is judged and so far in the campaign, that particular Everton side had flattered to deceive.
Ron Atkinson's Manchester United side had had their sights firmly set on usurping – some would say their fiercest rivals – Liverpool, by becoming Champions of England. So far in 1983-84 they had been in touch with the serial Champions and were hoping to bring the title back to Old Trafford after an absence of some 16 years. The 1983 FA Cup holders, who had beaten Everton (1-0) on the road to Wembley, had also reached Wembley in the League Cup final of 1983, but had lost to Liverpool (1-2) The 'Red Devils' gained a modicum of revenge for that defeat by beating Liverpool (2-0) in the 1983 Charity Shield match at Wembley.
Man Utd had six First Division home wins to their name and, previous to the meeting with Everton, they had recorded a convincing victory over Division One runners-up Watford (4-1) at Old Trafford. They had also beaten the Champions, Liverpool (1-0), at Old Trafford but they had lost to Nottingham Forest (1-2) and Aston Villa (1-2) on home turf.
In a live televised match at Upton Park, the 'Red Devils' had had to settle for a draw against West Ham United (1-1), who were level on points with Man Utd (30) and both teams were a single point behind the league leaders Liverpool (31). In their away fixtures, Man Utd had lost only one game at Southampton (0-3) and they had dropped a point in the fixture with Norwich City (3-3), but had won at Stoke City (1-0), Arsenal (3-2) and Sunderland (1-0).
Ron Atkinson reflected on the pros and cons of the live broadcasting of Division One matches, and he said that, whilst it was good that the game got a wider audience and hopefully attracted larger numbers of paying customers into the grounds, he was also very wary that too many games being broadcast live could have resulted in potential match-going fans becoming 'lazy' and not visiting grounds, they could instead settle for the comfort of their armchairs. He felt that the figure of a dozen games broadcast live during a league season was about right to meet the demands of the clubs to increase revenue without it having an adverse effect on a club's attendances.
Chairman Martin Edwards called for the Man Utd faithful to behave themselves and refrain from using bad language or obscene chanting when the TV cameras were set to visit Old Trafford for a fixture with Tottenham Hotspur to be played on Friday 16 December – that would be the first time that a league game had been broadcast live from Old Trafford. The Chairman had urged everyone to play their part in making sure that the commentators had only good things to say about the occasion. Mr Edwards also said that there were many who were uncertain about the advantages of live television but that Man Utd and the other clubs were contractually obliged to take part.
Whilst United's first-team were concentrating on taking the title to Old Trafford, a future England international star was plying his trade in United's youth team a certain David Platt who had joined United on a Youth Training Scheme and had scored for his team in a Lancashire Youth Cup tie with Burnley, played earlier that season.
In the focus section on Everton, the article's author was Tony Pullein and he said that Everton were regarded as more of a cup side in modern times and that re-building the club would be a long and painful process and he also noted that only two of the regular first-team squad, Kevin Ratcliffe and John Bailey, were at Goodison when Mr Kendall took over in 1981. Tony added "But one thing is clear – Mr Kendall will not rest until one of those major trophies returns to the Goodison Boardroom."
Adrian Heath was the unfortunate player left out of the team as Graeme Sharp and Andy Gray were chosen to lead Everton's attack for the first time since Gray's arrival at the club. But it was Kevin Sheedy's sumptuous strike just after half-time that had been enough to earn Everton all three points and dent Manchester United's title challenge as Liverpool had beaten Birmingham City (1-0) at Anfield. Incidentally Tony Pullein claims in another match programme that the goal by Kevin Sheedy was the first time in 1983-84 that Everton had scored a league goal in the second-half of an away fixture.
A small consolation for Man Utd had been that West Ham United had also lost, at Villa Park to Aston Villa (0-1). But Manchester United's title quest was the least of the Evertonians concerns as they celebrated a rare and welcome victory at Old Trafford and they could now look forward to the League Cup 4th Round replay with West Ham United with far more optimism than they would have believed prior to this game.
Howard Kendall gave a description of Kevin Sheedy's goal "Alan Irvine pulled inside Whiteside and then pushed the ball past Arthur Albiston. The hole appeared before him and he proved how he can go past most players. He then hit a quality cross which went between a couple of United players' legs. Graeme seemed surprised when it arrived at his feet, but he got hold of the ball and set things up for a good, left-foot shot by Kevin Sheedy."

Twenty Years Ago — 1993-94: Match 16
Leeds United had a proud and trophy-laden history and they were a team to fear during the 60s and early 70s but a four-year – reduced to two years on appeal - European ban imposed when their fans had rioted during the 1975 European Cup final against Bayern Munich in Paris, allegedly in response to a disallowed goal from Peter Lorimer, and an ageing squad, meant that they never quite regained their place at the higher echelons of the game. That was until 1992 of course when Leeds United had the distinction of being the last ever club to win the old First Division and raise aloft the magnificent old trophy.
Many people thought that Leeds United would have defended their title with vigour and may even have expected them to retain it. But, unable to win a league match away from Elland Road in the newly formed Premier League, they had struggled to retain their place in the top flight, and it was only by virtue of their form at Elland Road, where their only league defeat had been to Nottingham Forest (1-4), that they managed to stave off the stigma of relegated defending Champions – something that had very nearly happened to Everton following Dixie Dean's record-breaking season in 1929. In the European Cup, Leeds United had beaten Stuttgart (4-4) the previous season by virtue of the away goals rule, but had gone out of the tournament to Glasgow Rangers (2-4) on aggregate losing both legs (1-2).
The 93-94 season had seen an improvement and Leeds had registered two wins away from Elland Road at Southampton (2-0) and Coventry City (2-0) and they had only lost twice at Arsenal (1-2) and at Anfield where Liverpool (0-2) had been the victors. The remaining four away fixtures had ended in draws.
At Elland Road, Leeds Utd had been beaten only once by Norwich City (0-4) and had recorded wins over West Ham Utd (1-0), Oldham Athletic (1-0), Sheffield Utd (2-1), Wimbledon (4-0), Chelsea (4-1) and Swindon Town (3-0) with just a single drawn match at Elland Road with Blackburn Rovers (3-3). Whilst Leeds were unbeaten in six Premier League fixtures, in the League Cup, they had surprisingly lost to Sunderland (1-2) at Elland Road and would not be gracing Wembley in that tournament this time.
Leeds United, the reigning Champions and unbeaten for 34 matches, arrived at Goodison Park on 30 October 1969 to take on an Everton side who coveted Leeds United's crown and a team who were beginning to show their true class, Jimmy Husband recalls the game and helped to describe the 'Match Of The Past'. Jimmy said of that Leeds United team "They were the great invincibles of the day, justifiably believing they were going to win every game." Jimmy scored the opening goal of the game and he said "it was just a reflex effort; Sandy Brown, our full back, was a powerful striker of the ball and, when he drove a free kick into the Leeds wall, it rebounded towards me. I was a bit sharp in those days and stuck the ball away!"
After 21 minutes, Joe Royle had the ball in the Leeds United net following a Johnny Morrissey cross which Joe hit the bar with and then he reacted the quickest to put Everton two goals in front. Shortly after half-time, Joe Royle thumped in a third past Gary Sprake and the points looked to be in the bag. But Leeds United thought otherwise and brought on Peter Lorimer as Leeds sought a way back into the game. Jimmy said "Yet Leeds were so good that at 3-0 down they were able to come back at us,,.," Billy Bremner pulled a goal back when he chested Johnny Giles's corner kick over the line and Allan Clarke added another with a quarter of an hour remaining, but Everton held out and secured the victory that had ended Leeds United's unbeaten run.
Jimmy said that, considering Howard Kendall missed the match through injury and Tommy Jackson had taken his place in the team, it was testament to the team that Everton's midfield had dominated and that "Not many teams bettered Leeds in midfield but I feel Everton just shaded it that day." Horace Yates of the Daily Post wrote "Everton could be THE team of the season, for playing as they are, they are a delight to watch, but their daintiness is merely an attractive cloak for the devastation they pack. Everton have cause for genuine joy and satisfaction that so often they penetrated and tore apart as accomplished a defence as there is in football."
Speaking about the youngsters Jimmy Husband (22) and Joe Royle (20), Horace wrote "These young men showed a zest, maturity and deadliness that lit the time fuse to blow up the Champions. Yet nobody suggests this was a two-man triumph. This was a team triumph of the highest order. It had to be to achieve such a result… Leeds are not to be disposed of by isolated brilliance here and there."
In this fixture, Tony Cottee (67') had scored the equaliser – his first goal in eight matches – after Rod Wallace (53') had given the Yorkshire side the lead, as Leeds United extended their unbeaten run to seven Premier League matches and Everton had to be satisfied with a point.
In stark contrast to the previous game at Goodison, where Everton had lost to QPR (0-3), manager Howard Kendall said "The overall performance was very pleasing. Everyone there would have seen a distinct improvement, and that was made clear to me as I went up the tunnel at half-time. Whereas there was some abuse flying around on Saturday, someone said on Tuesday, 'That's a 100 per cent better.'"

Ten Years Ago — 2003-04: Match 16
Everton hadn't won at Portsmouth's Fratton Park ground since April 1959, but they had only visited the ground three times since that victory. Whatever the history between the two sides had been, the 2003-04 meeting could have been one of the most important results for the remainder of that campaign. A loss for either side would have cast a dark shadow, whereas a victory would have offered some much needed hope to the winning side.
Harry Redknapp had taken over a struggling Portsmouth team back in 2001, but in 2002-03 the club had celebrated a return to English football's top division, and they would have hoped to have a longer stay than the last time they had been in the that position. In 1987-88, Pompey's stay in the top-flight had been all too brief as they had suffered immediate relegation back to the Second Division. That had been Portsmouth's only season in the top division since they had been relegated in 1958-59.
Portsmouth's 2003-04 campaign had started brightly with victories gained at Fratton Park against Aston Villa (2-1) and Bolton Wanderers (4-0), and Portsmouth had remained unbeaten in their first three Premier League away games as they had achieved draws at Manchester City (1-1), Wolverhampton Wanderers (0-0)) and Arsenal (1-1).
Pompey's first defeat in the Premier League had arrived in their meeting with Blackburn Rovers (1-2) at Fratton Park and since that fixture they had only taken a single point on their travels, from a draw at the Riverside with Middlesbrough (0-0) gained in the match immediately before they faced Everton, but their home form had been a mixed bag with defeats suffered at Fratton Park to Charlton Athletic (1-2) and Leicester City (0-2) and victories gained over Liverpool (1-0) and Leeds United (6-1).
Their South-Coast rivals Southampton (0-2) had beaten Portsmouth in the League Cup at the Dell and thus ended Pompey's ambitions in that competition. At the start of the Everton fixture, Portsmouth lay in 16th place, one place above Everton and 2 points better off than the Blues with 16 points gained from the 15 fixtures completed.
Portsmouth's Chairman, Milan Mandaric, reported in his column that he would be unable to attend the match with Everton as he had another match to attend, namely his daughter's wedding in Naples and he said that he hoped that his club would be celebrating 3 points from the match.
Harry Redknapp in his Management Matters column welcomed David Moyes's Everton side to Fratton Park and he offered the Toffees' supporters a warm welcome; he added that "Everton are one of the Country's most famous and successful clubs and we know they will give us a damn good game today."
2003 had been a special year for Portsmouth and the magazine reiterated that fact with the statement "The events which have occurred over the past 12 months have not only demonstrated a major leap forward in terms of the fortunes of the club but have also potentially laid the foundations which will pave the Club's route to a completely new era of success and prosperity. From promotion to significant player signings and the exciting new plans for the future of Fratton Park, 2003 has been a year that will live long in the memory…"
In a couple of public information announcements, supporters of both clubs were reminded that Fratton Park was a no smoking stadium and that it was an offence to use portable mobile phones while driving, a law which had become effective on 1 December 2003.
The column that looked back on previous encounters between the two sides, entitled Silver Memories, informed its readers that, shortly after the war, Portsmouth had become Everton's bogey side. The author wrote that not only were Pompey invariably the victors in the fixtures between the two sides at Fratton Park, but they usually won the games by large margins. Of the nine occasions that Everton had visited Fratton Park between January 1947 and November 1957, they had lost every match and conceded many goals including seven in September 1949, six in February 1951, five in November 1954 and four in August 1948.
The author of Silver Memories made fun of Programme Editor Duggie Reid, who had been the man responsible for the edition produced for the match between Portsmouth and Everton in September 1949. Duggie got it horribly wrong – unfortunately for Everton – as he wrote "There is much individual distinction about this modern Everton, which has a defensive make-up comparable to the best in the land." Embarrassment all round for the Editor at the time and for Everton and its fans as the Toffees lost by seven goals to nil.
What the author failed to mention – probably due to their good manners – was that Everton had lost every single fixture involving Portsmouth between January 1947 and November 1956, when Everton eventually managed to halt the embarrassing run of defeats and gained a draw at Goodison Park with Portsmouth (2-2).
Everton, since beating Portsmouth (1-0) in September 1946 and prior to the victory over Portsmouth (4-2) in March 1958, with both games taking place at Goodison, had played Pompey 16 times and had lost 15 of them, with just one draw to show for their efforts. Everton can't have had too many similar runs to match that poor record with Portsmouth, in their entire history.
When Teddy Sheringham had sent Jason Roberts through on goal with a pass that split the Everton defence wide open, and Jason Roberts (16') had made no mistake with his opportunity to send Pompey into the lead, the Blues fans must have been fearing the worst, as now their team needed to score at least once to take a point. Steve Watson's enforced substitution at the midway point of the first-half had been unwelcome, but at least his replacement, Wayne Rooney, had been given a chance to rescue something from the game. Portsmouth had spurned a good chance to extend their lead immediately before Gary Naysmith, after a good run, pulled the ball back into Lee Carsley's path and the midfielder side-footed into the net to equalise a mere five minutes after Wayne Rooney had entered the fray.
Shortly before half-time it was Gary Naysmith who had once again provided the cross for Wayne Rooney (42') to hit his shot towards the goal, and it squirmed into the net due to an error from Pompey keeper Pavel Srnicek which had sent the Blues fans at the other end of the ground into raptures. It was Rooney's first goal since he had scored at the Valley against Charlton Athletic in August. As Rooney's goal completed the scoring, the Blues' left Fratton Park with all three points and their fans had good reason to celebrate Everton's first victory on the road that season, during their long journey home. Incidentally, future Everton player Yakubu appeared for Portsmouth in this match.
It had been a very important victory as Everton (17 pts) moved one place ahead of Portsmouth (16 pts) into 15th place.
After this round of fixtures, Everton (15th) were three points clear of Aston Villa (18th) as the Midland's club had beaten bottom club Wolves (3-2) at Villa Park. Leeds United (19th) had won against Fulham (3-2) whilst Blackburn Rovers (14th) had lost at Arsenal (0-1). But it was still tight in the lower reaches of the table and it would be a rollercoaster ride for the rest of the campaign, before the affected clubs found out their Premier League fate.

Chris (082). Slightly out. Great game that ended a long Leeds run. Screamer of an opener by Steve Sergeant but that was the only goal he scored that day. Mick Lyons scored an absolutely brave header - how Norman Hunter necer kicked his head off still amazes me to this day. I think - off the top of my head Dave Clements got the third. Dia Davies made a great one-on-one save against Allan Clarke in front of me at the Street End. I have a feeling its on YouTube Chris
Chris Stubbs
Thanks Chris. I found the match on YouTube. Not sure why I thought Steve Sergeant scored twice. His goal was a screamer. I now remember the Mike Lyons header. I had forgotten it was in that match. I remember looking away when Allan Clarke was about to score and didn't. Up to that day, I could not understand why Dai Davies was the preferred goalkeeper choice. But he played well that day. I think if today's team played the Everton team of that day, today's would romp home. There is much better quality in almost every position now than then. Maybe Mick Lyons would be the only one from that team who would get into today's team.
Thanks Chris - If you want to check line-ups, scores etc then the lads at Evertonresults.com provide an excellent service.
S Seargeant 26', M Lyons 33', D Clements 56'
A Clarke 31', T Yorath 73'
I remember the game and couldn't wait to watch it again on MOTD, Maurice Lindley was Caretaker manager of Leeds United for that game.
I had a black and white photo, I think it was the centrefold from the programme from the next match, of Mike Lyons' fantastic header, signed by Mike Lyons himself (thanks to Becky T).
Fantastic game and I also remember sitting next to the telly and recording the MOTD (or was it TBM) commentary with the microphone of my new cassette recorder and listening to it over and over for weeks afterwards.
I miss those street end years even though that period wasn't particularly great for us as a club.
The "Everton are Magic" period was also a great time looking back through rosy specs.
Andrew Ellams
Amazing how close that struggling side that won at Old Trafford was only 3 players short of the being the top team in Europe. Van den Hauwe, Bracewell and Steven for Higgins, King and Irvine and what a team
Max, I thought I was the only youth that taped the commentaries on cassettes, I wonder what happened to all those tapes. It was deffo MOTD, if my memory serves
Thank heavens for you tube where there is a fair amount of Everton related material from that period and beyond.
Karl Masters
Didn't Everton win at Portsmouth in November 1987, Patrick? A screamer from Graeme Sharp as I recall.
And the game there ten years ago was a disgrace in as much as it rained continuously and everybody sat in the totally uncovered away end got absolutely soaked. Somehow sitting down in a downpour is much more unpleasant than standing up in one!
The crowd at Old Trafford was a good seven or eight thousand down on usual due to a bus strike in Manchester that day I seem to remember.
Keep the articles coming, Patrick. Really good.
Great times. However, Chris (094), despite the fact that he was my boyhood hero, I can't see Mick, and certainly no one else from that 73/74 side, making it into today's squad, let alone the first choice run on team. Not as good as Jags, Distin or Alcaraz. The fact we were sitting in equal 2nd with Liverpool back then with that bunch just shows the sheer difference in quality between old 1st division and the Premier League. I mean, where would you put someone of the 'quality' of, say, Terry Darracott, John McLaughlin these days? League One?
Karl Once again you have spotted an error, I'm going to have to send the articles to you first for proof-reading, I'd forgotten about that Sharp winner - that's what you get for relying on information from one source and an aged memory. Alan Ball was Pompey's manager at the time as well so I have no excuse. New Year's resolution produce at least one error free article.
Patrick Murphy 095. I was at that game against Leeds, I thought Jimmy Armfield was made caretaker manager at Leeds after they sacked clough
According to Everton.results.com M Lindley (Caretaker Manager) when we visited Leeds later in the season Jimmy Armfield was their fully fledged manager. I apologise if there are mistakes or if I have mislead people.
Patrick, you do not have to apologise, I think I have cleared up the query as I have researched Google.
It appears I was wrong and Maurice Lindley did indeed follow Brian Clough as caretaker Manager, but by the time Leeds visited Everton in September, Jimmy Armfield had been appointed as the full time manager. Let us say it is a compliment to both of us that we still can remember this 39 years after the game.
Cheers Peter - I dug out the programme for the game at Goodison in 1974 and it didn't say who the manager of Leeds United was, so it must have been the hiatus between Clough leaving and Armfield taking charge - my memory used to be ever so reliable - but don't ask me what happened in the last 12 months as it seems it has stopped recording or there is no free-space left to write new info. Don Revie was the manager of England though as Billy Bingham wrote extensively about his methods and then BB complained about how difficult it was to play at Goodison and how his team preferred playing away - Strange days.
Thank you Patrick will never forget that season, we got beat home and away by relegated Carlisle United which cost us the league, we never lost many games but it was the days of 2 points for a win and too many draws cost us the league, never forgive Bingham for that

Things aren't pretty at the Michael Jackson estate following the groundbreaking HBO documentary, Leaving Neverland, detailing allegations from two men who say the superstar molested them. The Jackson family has called it "disgraceful" and is urging HBO to further investigate the backgrounds of the filmmakers and the subjects involved.
A 10-page letter released Friday offers a meeting with HBO executives to try to discredit the stories of the two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck. The estate contends the men are lying and court filings and story inconsistencies prove that.
The letter, written by estate attorney Howard Weitzman, assails the documentary for focusing solely on the men's stories and not interviewing anyone from Michael's family, his estate, or others who knew him. It states Wade had sought work on a Jackson-themed Cirque du Soleil show and raised the molestation allegations only after he wasn't hired.
Director Dan Reed concludes that he intentionally focused on the stories of Wade and James. "Anyone who sees the film will know it is solely about hearing the stories of two specific individuals and their families in their own words, and that is a focus we are very proud of," he said in a previous statement.


Throughout Roman history, gladiatorial events were one of Rome's most desired pastimesports. The evolution of this deadly sport is fascinating itself. Emperors as well as civilizedcitizens would often come to the arena for entertainment and to relax as well. Since the citizen'sgovernment and community were mainly focused on conquering at that time, whether it was acountry or person, the hosts of the show or known as managers would often put up gladiatorialfights to satisfy the public (Meijer 152). These men that fought were consisted of prisoners ofwar or men who volunteered to take part of the familia gladiatoria hoping to find a better way tolive. To understand why this sport was one of Rome most desired past time activity, one mustfirst examine how: how someone becomes a gladiator, how they lived their lives, and what typeof games they partook in. When one scrutinizes these aspects before hand, it will be clearlyshown why these men were considered as celebrities to the spectators.

Gladiator fights were first introduced to Rome in 264 BC, when the sons of Junius Brutuspaid honor to their father's funeral by showing three pairs of gladiators fight (Baker 67). Thisritual caught on and was performed to honor significant men. As the years passed, theceremonies became more promoted and emperors began to present the games to symbolize theirpower. The citizens of Rome loved to go to these bloody warfares. In the city of Rome, theseevents were held in the Colosseum. This arena was so large that it could hold fifty thousandspectators and host fights between men and animals (Meijer 56). Gladiatorial games occupied acentral role in society. Sponsored during the republic by rich magistrates and later in the Empireby the Emperors themselves, the games have long been called an election tool. The games inRome are known today as the bloodiest exhibitions of public entertainment known to mankind.
Men, Women and children flocked to the Colosseum to watch the bloodthirsty fighters murderone another. The spectators came from all over the Roman Empire and various other regions,like Africa. The games became a way of entertaining the wealthy, as well as the common people.
The time in which a gladiator agrees to join the familia gladiatoria is one key event in a man'slife. "Gladiator", comes from the Latin word "gladius", for sword. They were primarily made upof slaves, criminals, prisoners of war or even men who volunteered. The crimes that could leadone to the arena included treason, robbery, and murder, among others. Some free men becamegladiators of their own free will in hopes of gaining notoriety and patronage amongst the wealthycitizens. By the end of 50 BC almost half of the gladiators fighting in the Colosseum were freemen. Since unemployed and under employed men couldn't make one a decent living, theresecondary choice would be to apply at the local gladiator school (Baker 85). Volunteers as ex-soldiers would also join because they didn't know how to live in the civilized world (Meijer 39).
This was probably due to the different rules in the familia gladiatoria compared to the outsideworld. If these men wanted to join the gladiator family, they would have to agree to an oath thatdeclared that their personal life would end. This meant that managers would have the full right tosell, trade or rent the gladiators out to the shows. Prisoners of war that choose to join thegladiator family would be forced to take the gladiator oath unwillingly of their circumstance.
Once a gladiator wins his duels and earned the favor of the emperor and the citizens for hisoutstanding performance, the emperor would offer him a great amount of goods. The editors ofthe show would also give the winners: gold, gifts, and money for a bonus (Baker 86). If he stillprogresses defeating other men in his career, the amount of gifts increases to an extreme value.
However on the other hand of the spectrum, prisoners who chose death instead ofapplying to the gladiator schools would be reserved for executions in the arenas. Since thecitizens of Rome wanted to see blood and death, the managers who were in charge of the showwould often execute prisoners during the break sessions. This kept the citizens sunk in theirseats, aroused and excited throughout the entire day. Such executions would be death by beast orad besias. This can be defined as when tigers, bears or lions were kept hungry until theexecutions so that they would pounce on their pray. Condemned slave would be tied down to acertain position formation so that the wild beasts could demolish their bodies into fragments. Thesecond type of death would be ad gladium, or death by the sword. This was known as a shortexecution. Lastly, the most haunting death one could face would be death on a cross, orcrucifixid. This, by far would be the most humiliating death one could face, seeing that the endwas coming ridiculously slow (Meijer 152).
For most men, gladiatorial life wasn't full of excitement but of hard work, consisted ofdaily training, exercise, and more training. As soon as one agrees to the gladiatorial oath, theywould be examined by a trained doctor who will choose the kind of equipment one will partake.
When the doctor choose what type of weapons a prisoner would be good at, he would send wordto the manager to see if he would accept it. For most of the time, managers and doctors wouldintend to agree with each other (Hoad 2). Afterwards, when the prisoners were assigned to theirtype of weapon they would use in the arena, the managers of the familia gladiatoria wouldchoose a specific trainer, which would accompany the young man throughout his course ofgladiatorial life. During their time at the schools, gladiators' daily life would be consisted of hardtraining from sun up to sun down. These gladiators would practice with wooden weapons insteadof battle ready weapons so that there would be a minimal chance of a revolt (Fowler). Practicewas done on a wooden post coming up from the ground, or on a 1-on-1 mini duel. This would bethe time when they would strengthen their footwork and gain incurrence. The pre weapons alongwith the shields and breast guard would be three times heavier than the original battle weaponsthat they would use in the arena. All of these factors benefitted the gladiators in the arena so thatthe battles could last longer, meaning that it will be bloodier and gruesome. This of course iswhat the spectators wanted to see. Before gladiators would be summoned to fight on the stage,the members of the familia gladiatoria would summon prayers for the young lad, asking theregods to protect the man from death. Most gladiators that lost prior battles would often be scaredout of their minds. These men were frightened of dying on the arena or by wild animals becausethey knew that it was disgraceful and dishonorable to die shamefully. Due to this fear in theirspirits, gladiators would commit acts such as committing suicide before there called(Ablemedia). When a gladiator has a mindset that he will conquer his opponents, he will have a10% chance that he will die on the field. However, if a gladiator lost a battle prior to his presentduel, he will have a 25% chance of death. A great part of your duel depends on what kind ofmindset you have (Meijer 42).
The last important aspect of gladiatorial fights is the different types of games thatgladiators were offered. There were three common types of events: sodalities (one-on-one),venatorum (hunting), and sea battles. Although some gladiators fought wild animals, the combatsusually featured a pair of male human contenders. They fought in diverse styles depending ontheir background and how much training they had endured. Originally as captured soldiers, theywere made to fight with their own weapons. The sodalitas venatorum were competitions inwhich skilled archers and javelin throwers would try to compete for a one shot clean kill usinglive animals as targets. These men would start off by letting loose a vast amount of differentherbivore animals such as deer, stag, goats etc. Afterwards, these hunters would chase thesevictims around the arena slaughtering each one, one by one with their weapons. As soon as theseanimals were all lying dead on the ground, a cleanup crew would be summoned to go clean thearena. Afterwards, the emperor would give the sign for more animals to be released in the arena.
The dead carcasses would be disposed of or given to the gladiators as food so that the managerswouldn't have to shell out money from their pockets. For the second part of the day, wild beastssuch as lions, cougars, and hippos would be released in the arena. The venators would then haveto defend themselves with their javelins and shields. The bloodshed which took place in theColosseum, was not however, always hailed as a good sport. Many people, including one of theearliest Greek apologists, Tatian, in the mid-second century, has to be seen as part of a widerattack on pagan rituals, calling the games, "despicable and defiled. In 55 B.C, Pompey of Romeorganized a scdalitas venatorum show in the Circus Maximus where 20 ferocious elephants werebeing chased by venators. When the crowd saw that these great beasts were being tortured andabused, the spectators felt more lenient to the animals, rather to the men fighting to escape death.
From this, the emperors of Rome chose to stay away from slaughtering so many animals so thatthey would not loose there viewers. The second type of competition that was put out for thespectators was either one-on-one hand combat or a group of gladiators vs. another group. Inthese types of battles, the winners would rank up his skill and victories, hoping that the emperorwill find favor with him. The loser would usually, but not often die. However, in some cases,when the loser has acted courageously and boldly, the emperor along with the crowd wouldagree to spare his life. The third type of shows that wasn't as common, but very popular was seabattles. This is when large and spacious arenas would have dirt removed from the floor and sealup the inside so that water wouldn't leak outside. Once the hole was big enough for ships to fit,boats such as triremes and quadriremes would be put in the arena. After the boats have beenassembled, the water would be placed in filling up the arena like a small lake. On the day of thegladiator shows, massive fleets of five thousand oarsmen and soldiers would be put on differentboats to rein act a common sea battle. The largest sea battle reenactment that ever took place wasin 52 A.D. during the reign of Emperor Claudius. This battle consisted of nineteen thousand oarsmen, and gladiators. Usually, when the men were chosen for Claudius' sea battles, the gladiatorswould solute the emperor saying "Aue Caesar, morituri te salutant;" ("Hail, Caesar, those whoare about to die solute you"). Caesar in return responded back saying, "Aut non," ("or no"t),whereupon the men thought that they were free, so they decided to forgo the battle. Caesar, notknowing either to burn them ore hang them finally convinced them to fight stating that there willbe a massive reward for the winners in the end. These games continued from dawn to dusk andlasted for many days. The imperial games would sometimes exhibit thousands of gladiators in asequence that could last for several months.
The Roman gladiator fights were the most violent, bloodiest sports, ever to have beencreated in our entire history, killing thousands of people and animals for the sake ofentertainment. However, it was also responsible for influencing many of the more passivepopular sports we have today. The Romans were living in a time, when most of the governmentand community were mainly focused on conquering, whether it was a country or person. TheColosseum was a way for Rome to demonstrate to the eager population the power and glory ofthe Roman Empire. This sport wasn't invented for the gladiators to have fun but rather to duel tothe finish, putting to test all of your experience that you gained from the gladiator school, hopingthat one day freedom will come. That is what the sport was thought as from a gladiator'sperspective, history's most deadly sport.

RE: [Wikipedia-l] Re: [Wikitech-l] Feature Proposal: Certification
by Poor, Edmund W
Like Erik, I don't feel I can send some people a link to Wikipedia. The "notorious goat-man" can strike at any time. This means that no matter how bright my little girls get, I don't dare tell them about Wikipedia. So far, my family has not needed to use NetNanny, SafeSurf or anything like that. I gave my girls a start page, and they click links from it. www.pbs.org/kids is a safe starting point, and I've collected Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony links (no Powerpuff Girls) for them. But until the 'pedia creates a filtering mechanism, it remains (in my mind) an experiment: we are several dozen or maybe a few hundred people TRYING to build an open, free encyclopedia. We are SEEING IF it can be done. I don't know how to filter out vandalism and maintain openness. I don't know how to certify quality and maintain openness. But I think we should keep trying to figure it out. Larry, Elian, and Erik have come up with good ideas. And Cunctator has come up with some good objections :-) But it ain't over yet. Ed Poor

Well, no, I didn't expect us to. I guess the question is "at what point have articles changed enough from the source that it's ok to remove the citation"? I would (today, anyway) urge people to leave the citations in and change "works cited" to "works consulted"--if for no other reason than that several notable academics have been caught plagiarizing lately.
Re: [Wikitech-l] Feature Proposal: Certification
What I want, when I request an article to be transmitted from the PediaWiki database to my computer screen, is an article created, last-edited, or certified by my choice of: * a user with sysop or above authority (41 sysops, 3 developers, 1 owner = 45 people, i.e., the "cabal") * a signed-in user who is on my "trusted" list I would also like the option of being informed of the existence of contributions from any of: * anonymous users (i.e., not signed-in) * signed-in users whom I have not yet placed on my "trusted" list So if I had browsed to [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] any time in the last two months, I would have seen versions made by Andre, Magnus or Brion, since each sysop or developer rights. I would not have seen Ben-Zin's foreign-language links or 217.168.172.202's "Queen of the Night" tweak -- until Sept. 16th, when Andre added a foreign-language link. What would I have missed? Nothing I really care about. The article was just as good, for my modest purposes, with or without .202's minor copy-edit. The only improvement I really appreciate is the image Magnus uploaded. So for the Mozart article, Erik's "alternative viewing mode" idea works perfectly for me. We can hammer out the details, if we choose to make Erik's idea into a full-fledged feature request. Here are my own suggestions: * show a flag (possibly optional) indicating the existence of a later, "uncertified" change * set the default for editing to "edit the latest version" * provide an option to "edit the version currently displayed" As a reader, I may be curious to see what some anonymous or "not yet trusted" contributor has added, so it's to my advantage to be able to access later, "uncertified" versions. I might discover that someone like Clutch or Lir has decided to get with the program and start writing NPOVishly. Or I might find that some new and wonderful user like Zoe has appeared, rising like Venus out of the foam, and is offering excellent contributions from day one. As an editor, I will often want to compare the "certified" version of an article with what some political hothead or vandal has done to trash it. Please understand the context in which I'm saying this. For me, "certified" would be "users on my trusted list". For you, "certified" means users on YOUR trusted list. This would be an improvement over just using my watchlist, because that only shows the latest change, however minor. With Erik's idea, I would also get a "certified/non-certified" flag (maybe even a color, like green for "goofy" or blue for "be careful"). Well, that's all I have time for right now -- and this letter is getting too long anyway. If there's any interest along these lines, I will create a [[Wikipedia:Certification]] page where we can refine the details. Much as we did with Jeronimo's country project. Ed Poor
by Larry Sanger
As I've made clear already, I'm all for trying to find a way vouchsafe the reliability of those of our articles that actually are reliable. We've just got to make sure we don't shoot ourselves in the foot doing it! I'd like to ask this: what is the purpose of this present certification proposal? *If* you're trying to improve the credibility of Wikipedia among people who *really need* accurate information about the reliability of articles--people like students, teachers (at all levels), librarians, and anyone doing serious research--then I don't see how this proposal can work. Why should any of these sorts of people believe that an article *actually is* reliable, just because a dozen participants have pressed a button saying it's good--if it's possible that not a single actual expert has looked at it? We've all seen instances of articles that looked OK to nonexperts but that turned out to be, in the opinion of an expert that happens by, decidedly inadequate. It doesn't take an epistemologist to see that accuracy cannot be vouchsafed by a vote--10, or 100, or 1000 approving Wikipedians certainly *can* be wrong! But that isn't the most important issue here. The most important issue is this: I suspect that, if I understand it correctly, implementing the proposal would actually *undermine* Wikipedia's credibility. Here is what all sorts of sober thinkers, not on the project, will think about it when they learn about how articles are certified: "The same people who *write* these articles, of uneven quality and obviously questionable credibility, are the ones who presume to certify that they're accurate? Well, if the people in charge of the project think *that's* how to guarantee the reliability of an article, that's reason to think the articles *aren't* reliable, and that the project shouldn't be taken seriously." By contrast, the proposal I made not long ago (I know, I haven't followed up--I suddenly got very busy), of having a completely separate website, managed by actual subject area experts, containing a subset of Wikipedia articles, achieves the purpose (improving the credibility of some Wikipedia articles among librarians et al.) much more handily. By no means am I saying that credentialled people, or "experts," are (because they're experts) *necessarily* reliable. Plenty of people with lots of credentials can't give us a trustworthy opinion as to the reliability of an article. But we can't do better, and it's the opinion of these people--the duly anointed "knowers" (the tongue's in cheek here)--that students, teachers, and others look up to for their benchmark as to what is currently known. That's a fact. It's not a WikiWiki fact or attitude, but it *is* a fact, and we can't change it. The more "elitist" proposal might not be "WikiWiki," but there IS no WikiWiki way to satisfy teachers, librarians, and serious researchers about the reliability of a WikiWiki. Now, if satisfying the librarians et al. is not your aim with the proposal, I think that's too bad; but then I really do have to wonder what the point of this certification proposal is. Is it a way for Wikipedians to win kudos from each other? If so, can we please not do that? Wikipedia is *not*, I think, about building a community and winning kudos and stroking egos. It's first and foremost about building an *encyclopedia*. Larry Adding a new sig!

How Sioux Falls is planning for what downtown looks like in 2035
It's time to take another look at how the vision might change in the next decade.
9 Feb 2022 • 2 min read
Simplified: The City Council on Tuesday gave its unanimous support for the city to create a 2035 downtown plan. Here's what happens next.
Sioux Falls' current 10-year downtown plan was adopted in 2014, and as its end approaches in 2025, it's time to take another look at how the vision might change in the next decade.
The city planning department is overseeing the plan, but it'll be working closely with an advisory committee (approved by the council Tuesday) and seeking feedback from the community at large, too, said Community Development Coordinator Dustin Powers.
Ultimately, the goal is to have a single document to help guide decision making in downtown over the next decade.
"We know downtown is kind of booming right now," Powers told Sioux Falls Simplified. "It's a great opportunity for us to leverage that and then use that success to really move to the future and establish the vision for the future."
What's happened since the last downtown plan?
A lot of the growth and development in downtown in the last decade lines up with the goals outlined in the 2025 plan.
One goal was growing the number of people living in downtown. Enter, Washington Square apartments, Cascade Lofts, Railyard Flats and the Jones421 building.
Another was promotion of arts and culture – since then the State Theatre has reopened and the Levitt Shell was built.
Overall, Powers said, there's been $300 million in development downtown in the last eight years, and with the Steel District and Cherapa Place projects underway, that number is set to more than double in the next couple years.
Who's on the advisory committee?
A diverse mix of downtown residents, business owners, artists and city officials.

The pandemic and mental health: How to recognize the need and ask for help
But as pandemic starts to calm – and make its slow transition to an endemic – local doctors are advising people to take stock of what the last two years have done to their mental health.


I just got off the phone with a brilliant, wise, scholarly, kind, intuitive mother. She has a lovely child under the age of one who is a crappy sleeper. Hard to put down, had to keep down, accumulated sleep debt for everyone in the family. During our chat there are ideas to explore, systems to suggest, and resources to offer.
But you know what's really a mess about this mother?
Our conversation was the first of many she's had with a professional that didn't make her think she is screwing it all up. This mother, this wife, this friend, this professional who supports many people in her own line of work was made to feel inferior and inadequate because she refuses to let her infant cry itself to sleep.
You are not screwing it up.
Your children are not broken.
There is not one right way to be a mother.
Infants are not a red light/green light game.
And you call me if anyone is bullying you to think otherwise.
Co-Sleeping! Bed Sharing! Safe Sleep! OH MY!

Bridge Design
3-D Model Helps Construct Versam Gorge bridge
Versamertobel Bridge over the Versam Gorge
The steeply sloping geography of the Versam Gorge made it critical that the project engineers consider construction and fabrication when designing the replacement bridge. Challenges stemming from construction methods, land requirements, lifting plant, site access, and temporary support requirements were crucial during the preliminary phases.
A well-developed 3-D model to evaluate design alternatives and construction sequences. The final design followed a simple aesthetic with structural supports only at either end. To meet the needs for a slim, long-span structure, post-tensioning came into play during construction. The bridge was built from both ends of the gorge without the use of temporary supports, so the piers were tied using tension rods. Then the bulk of the superstructure was completed in three separate stages.
"Allplan was a great help to us in this challenging bridge project. It was particularly useful to have the 3-D depictions of the design of the foundations in steeply sloping ground, as well as the complex geometrical details and for eliminating reinforcement collisions," said Oliver Müller, one of the project engineers.

Bus strikes cause chaos
Thousands of commuters were left stranded on the roads this morning as bus drivers mounted another 24 hour strike.
The protest by members of trade union Unite involves one of Ealing's main bus operators and was due to start at 3am.
First Buses and Metroline passengers are being urged to make alternative travel arrangements and to check updates regularly for affected routes.
Adrian Jones, managing director for First Buses London, said: "The union is intent on dragging further bus companies into strikes in pursuit of its fruitless bid to standardise conditions of work and pay in all companies, and we understand other companies will be affected.
"Bus drivers who have participated in the three previous days of strike action have already lost a significant amount of pay and this will not be recouped.
"These are difficult times for everyone and I hope the union will be ready to meet to discuss a settlement without leading to further loss of pay and damage to the company.
"We will do all we can to minimise disruption to services."
Only two bus routes in Ealing will be unaffected - the 112 and 65.
Busy Metroline services including the 297, E2 and E8 and First Buses routes 207, N207, 427, 607, E3, E7 and E9 have ground to a halt.

Slash sweeps Saints
The St. Albert Slash outscored the Spruce Grove PAC Saints 13-3 in two games while sweeping the opening playoff round in the Alberta Major Midget Female Hockey League. Melissa Kueber scored twice in game one, a 6-2 win at Akinsdale Arena.
The St. Albert Slash outscored the Spruce Grove PAC Saints 13-3 in two games while sweeping the opening playoff round in the Alberta Major Midget Female Hockey League.
Melissa Kueber scored twice in game one, a 6-2 win at Akinsdale Arena. Tegan Rose, Sabrina Flemming, Jessica Kampjes and Krystal Reithmayer notched singles. The Slash went two-for-six on the power play and killed off all seven of their own penalties. Emily Mitchell stopped 19 shots in net.
In game two, the play was far more lopsided as the Slash directed 56 shots on net and allowed only 14 on Mitchell in Saturday's 7-1 series clincher at Stu Barnes Arena. Kampjes, Reithmayer and Karly Heffernan each had a pair of goals and Kueber a single as the Slash went three-for-seven on the power play.
"We've had close games with them all year. We wanted to make sure we kept our energy up and come out focused, get a good start to the game and keep rolling. We wanted to stay with our special teams the way they've been going and not get away from what's been successful for us," said head coach Terry Sydor.
One of the biggest challenges in the series for the Slash was not taking for granted a team that only had one point in the regular season.
"Our coaches told us to believe in ourselves and in the team and that everything would fall into place if we kept working hard," said Taryn McCormick who had three assists in game two.
"We had to come in strong like we usually do," added Kampjes. "We couldn't take them lightly. We can't worry about their standings and make that change how we play. We had to make sure we didn't let up and kept going hard on them."
Heffernan opened the scoring Saturday with a net-crasher goal six minutes into the first period. Reithmayer's first goal halfway through the frame was a mirror image tally. Kampjes power play goal late in the period was an easy stuff home on a backdoor pass from McCormick to put the Slash up 3-0.
"We drove hard to the net and got the rebounds," Kampjes said.
Heffernan's second goal, a backhand deke in tight through the five-hole, gave the Slash a four-goal margin three minutes into the second.
The Saints got on the board when Gillian Altheim turned the puck over at the Slash blue line, walked in alone and wired a shot past Mitchell's blocker to pull her team to within three.
But that was the Saints' best chance of the game as the Slash poured on the pressure. Kueber converted a loose puck in a goalmouth scramble late in the period to make it 5-1. Reithmayer and Kampjes added insurance markers early in the third.
"It was a do-or-die game for them and we kept the pedal down. I was really happy with the effort and the communication out on the ice. It looked kind of like a saddle-bronc coming out of the chute and it was good to see," Sydor said. "Momentum's a funny thing and we wanted to keep it on our side. They got the shorty [by Altheim] but we bounced back from that well and finished strong."
The Slash will face the Lloydminster Steelers in the north division semifinals starting this weekend in the Border City. The Slash (13-11-8) lost the season series 1-2-1 to the second-place Steelers (15-10-7), with two of the contests decided by just one goal.
"We've had good games against Lloydminster. We're confident and we believe we can beat them. It's a matter of executing it out on the ice," Sydor said.
This is the furthest the Slash have advanced into the playoffs since their second year in 2005/06. They finished third in the regular season that year and went all the way to the league final, sweeping the Sherwood Park Fury, Steelers and Edmonton Thunder in straight games before losing to Warner.
Nobody's running to the bank just yet, but the Slash finished third this season and swept the opening round. Sydor is quietly hoping it's an omen of things to come, but knows the Slash are facing a tough netminder in Jillian Diachuk.
"She's a big, young lady and we seem to have trouble elevating the puck on her. This week we're going to try work on that. We get a lot of shots when we play them but we need to capitalize on our chances," Sydor said.
Game one is Saturday at 4:30 p.m. at Russway Arena and game two is Sunday at noon at the Civic Centre. Game three is Feb. 26 at Mark Messier Arena at 8:45 p.m.
