Scott Morrison · Follow 5 min read · -- As someone who has been playing video games for over 30 years, I can honestly say I did not expect to one day read the novelization of a game and realize it would be my preferred way to experience it. This is exactly the case with the novelization of Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties.

PAGA Reform: What California Employers Need to Do Now | JD Supra
California employers have come to know California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) as an expensive cost of doing business within the state. Unfortunately, the new PAGA reform is not likely to lead to any decrease in the number of PAGA lawsuits filed. However, the reform offers employers significant discounts (up to 85%) on penalties awarded if they show they have attempted in good faith to comply with the Labor Code.
PAGA Claims May Proceed Despite Arguments That Trying Them Could Be ‘Unmanageable,’ California Supreme Court Rules | JD Supra
The California Supreme Court has determined that trial courts lack the authority to strike claims brought under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) on the grounds that trying them would be unmanageable. In a long-awaited decision, the Supreme Court also reminded trial courts of various tools and case management techniques they can use to make PAGA claims manageable.
THN Archive: 'Donut' Remark Followed NHL Referee Koharski Through His Entire Career Original
It’s not at all common to have a non-NHL player on the cover of The Hockey News. However, in this cover story from THN’s Nov. 10, 1989 edition (Vol. 43, Issue 8), THN profiled one of the most famous referees in NHL history – and one of the most infamous quotes about him. (And here’s your daily reminder: for complete access to THN’s exclusive 76-year Archive, you can subscribe to the magazine.) We’re speaking of retired NHL referee Don Koharski.

Why Paul Henderson's winner in 1972 is Canada's most iconic sports moment
Scott Morrison | @morrisonsnet September 28, 2022, 9:34 AM Scott Morrison @morrisonsnet September 28, 2022, 9:34 AM Henderson has scored for Canada… They are five words that Canadians of certain vintage will never forget. And never should forget. Henderson has scored for Canada… It’s arguably the greatest “I remember where I was” moment in our sporting history.
Scott Morrison celebrates 50th anniversary of the Summit Series
Fifty years on, the 1972 Summit Series between Canada and the then-Soviet Union remains the most famous international hockey series ever played. In “1972: The Series That Changed Forever,” Hockey Hall of Fame-honoured writer Scott Morrison draws a complete narrative of that classic confrontation a half-century ago.
1972

Having reported and provided analysis for Sportsnet, Hockey Night in Canada, and CBC Television and Radio, while making regular appearances across the sports-radio dial, he brings a trusted and measured voice to the hockey-media landscape, twice serving as president of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association.

Opinion | Bookbag: We interrupt the usual Mailbag to bring you a hockey lover’s gift guide to the holiday season
By Kevin McGranStaff Reporter Fri., Dec. 18, 2020timer4 min. read It’s Friday, and the regular Mailbag gives way to the Bookbag. ’Tis the season, after all, to read books. I had a weird year in that I had to take my “summer” vacation in November and December. Given there was no place to go (thanks COVID), it could have been the worst vacation ever. I got a little tired of binge-watching TV and doom-scrolling through Twitter. The saving grace was books. Reading. Felt good.

Apple to Shut Down Lala.com
Apple Inc. said it was shutting down its Lala.com online music service at the end of May, a move prompting speculation the iPhone maker might soon launch a new Web-based version of its iTunes music store. Lala, which Apple bought in December for an undisclosed price, lets users stream any track from its 8 million-song Internet-based catalogue once for free, and it also sold unlimited streams for 10 cents a track. Members could also purchase MP3 downloads starting at 79 cents.
COVID-19 UK: The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 – The UK Restructuring Plan | JD Supra
Introduction The economic impact of COVID-19 will be far reaching. Governments around the globe are currently grappling with a balance between the protection of the health of their populations and limiting damage to their economies. Corporates that are over-burdened with debts will undoubtedly struggle to take advantage of market opportunities as global economies recover.
NPLs - Impact of U.K. Insolvency Reforms on Enforcement Processes | JD Supra
The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted and will disrupt collections for existing European non-performing loan ("NPL") portfolios and has put many planned transactions on ice. Banks have been prioritising COVID-19-related forbearance measures and largely putting deleveraging on hold ahead of better market conditions. Concurrently, European governments have been focused on flattening the curve of impending insolvencies, as we see a move to a more debtor-friendly legal environment across Europe.

Arrest Made Over Hobsonville Point Incidents
Friday, 28 February 2020, 3:39 pm Press Release: New Zealand Police Waitakere Police have arrested a man this morning in relation to a number of incidents involving inappropriate comments made to women in Hobsonville Point recently. On the morning of Tuesday 28 January, inappropriate comments of a sexual nature were made to two women in separate incidents as they were out walking in the area.
Exemptions Lengthy for Hazmat Placarding
To placard, or not to placard, that is the question. While it’s a general truth that each person who offers for transportation or transports any hazardous material must comply with applicable placarding requirements, fortunately there are many instances when placarding a shipment of hazardous materials is not required by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) hazardous material regulations (HMRs).
Remembering the Calgary Flames' 1989 Stanley Cup run – Sportsnet
The successful regular season — and not having to face Edmonton in the opening round — put the Flames in a good frame of mind entering the playoffs against the scrappy Vancouver Canucks. But the team’s past early-round failures were hard for some to forget. Fletcher Obviously, we felt the pressure. Here we are playing a team that was 43 points behind us, but our team was uptight and very nervous because of what had happened the year before.
Why Patrick Marleau will never forget where he came from
Patrick Marleau’s four young boys just returned from a midwinter’s beach vacation in Turks and Caicos. Maybe after school today they’ll go for a twirl on their pristine backyard rink, contracted by Dad and complete with NHL-style boards and a blue maple leaf painted at centre ice. Or maybe one of Landon, Brody, Jagger and Caleb’s not-so-biological big brothers, superstars Auston Matthews or Mitchell Marner, will swing by for mini sticks and karaoke.
From Tragedy to Triumph: The story of the Swift Current Broncos
Tim Tisdale was never late for anything. He prided himself on it. Especially being on time for the team bus. Well, he was almost never late. There was one day he was just a little bit tardy – Dec. 30, 1986 — and it likely saved his life, though it was ultimately difficult to deal with that. It’s a day that certainly changed his life. His and so many others. Tisdale was a promising 18-year-old centre with the Swift Current Broncos, who had a Western Hockey League game that night in Regina.
Insolvency reform in the EU and UK in the era of Brexit As the political systems diverge the insolvency regimes converge | JD Supra
1. Introduction In recent years reform of insolvency legislation has been on the agenda in both the UK and in the EU through the EU's flagship Capital Markets Union ("CMU") initiative. Recent publications appear to indicate there will soon be substantial changes in the EU and the UK, which will have far reaching implications for distressed investors.
California Island Rediscovery: building an archive to improve conservation today and equip the historical ecologist of tomorrow
An understanding of how past conditions have shaped present-day ecological patterns and trends is critical to science-based conservation management. Unfortunately, the records, specimens, and objects historical ecologists need to help generate that understanding are often lacking.
O’Ree's Hall of Fame induction long overdue and richly deserved
For so much of his life – both as a person and as a hockey player – Willie O’Ree was cruelly told that he didn’t belong. Tuesday wasn’t one of those days. O’Ree, who was truly a pioneer, was announced as one of the 2018 inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame in the builder category. It was 60 years ago – on Saturday, January 18, 1958 at the Montreal Forum – that O’Ree broke the colour barrier in the NHL, almost 11 years after Jackie Robinson had done the same in baseball.
How an unlikely, unrepeatable streak clinched Canada's last Stanley Cup
Twenty-five years ago, in his first meeting with his new team, Jacques Demers told his Montreal Canadiens players that they were going to shock the hockey world that season. “I mean, the first day he’s telling us we’re going to win the Stanley Cup,” said defenceman Patrice Brisebois, “that we’re going to shock the hockey world.” A few players were left shaking their heads, but before long they would become believers, though there would be moments of doubt.
BHS: A CVA Unwound | JD Supra
The financial distress in the UK high street has brought with it a resurgence of the use of company voluntary arrangements (“CVAs”). The restructuring tool of choice for struggling retailers, a CVA allows a company to propose an arrangement with its unsecured creditors, which if approved by a majority by value of 75% of creditors present and voting at a meeting of creditors and by 50% of the members of the company, will be binding on all unsecured creditors who would have been entitled to vote.
Greens Lawyer Weighs In On New Matilda reporting On Cate Faehrmann
A fortnight ago, New Matilda published a three-part series by Michael Brull on a pre-selection battle within the Greens NSW. One of the lawyers who advised on that battle, Brian Walters, responds. In the middle of an internal Greens pre-selection, Michael Brull, a Greens member, has written for New Matilda a series of articles attacking a candidate – Cate Faehrmann. As he must know, candidates for pre-selection are not permitted to speak to journalists, and therefore have no right of reply.
Bill Torrey’s best deal was one he refused to make
As we continue to marvel at the incredible success of the newest expansion team in the NHL, sadly we also say goodbye to the architect of another pretty special one. Maybe it wasn’t special in its first year of existence like these Vegas Golden Knights, but greatness came soon enough. The hockey world lost the great Bill Torrey on Thursday. He was 83.
The easy but imperfect solution to the goaltender interference issue
Upon further review, when it comes to goalie interference in the NHL, it’s painfully obvious we are in need of further review. That’s not breaking news. But we are also in need of subtle change. When NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and his general managers meet in Florida starting Monday, there is going to be a refresher course for the managers, to share with their coaches and players, about what constitutes goalie inference because at the moment there is simply too much confusion.
The best NHL trade deadline acquisition never wanted to be dealt
It might not be the biggest trade deadline deal ever made, but it was certainly one of the best. Maybe the best and most impactful. It was certainly the first to have the kind of impact general managers dream about. It’s a trade that gave deadline day and the days leading up to it new purpose and proportions. And it was a trade, at first, Butch Goring wished hadn’t happened. “I was really unhappy at the time,” recalled Goring.
How L’Affaire Lindros gave birth to the NHL's trade call
They are two words we hear a lot at this time of year. But for most, we don’t understand exactly what they mean, how the process works, and especially how they came to be. Bertuzzi is a name familiar to a lot of hockey fans. Those of a certain vintage remember Todd well. He’s famous… and infamous. Not everyone, however, would remember another Bertuzzi, who is actually a relative of Todd’s, a cousin of his father’s, who impacted the course of history in the NHL in a very big way himself.
Recipe: OSSO BUCCO & PORK SHOULDER LASAGNE
1 Gather the oregano, rosemary, thyme and continental parsley and tie together securely with a length of kitchen string to make a bouquet garni. 2 Season the osso bucco and pork shoulder with the sea salt and cracked black pepper. Place a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. When hot, add the osso bucco and pork shoulder, browning on all sides. 3 Add the onion and the garlic. Add the red wine vinegar and scrape all of the brown from the bottom of the pot.
The Rule In Gibbs: Safeguarding Creditors’ Rights Or Aiding And Abetting "Hold Out" In Foreign Insolvencies?
There is an English common law rule that a debt governed by English law cannot be discharged or compromised by a foreign insolvency proceeding. This rule is derived from a Court of Appeal case: Antony Gibbs and sons v La Société Industrielle et Commerciale des Métaux (1890) 25 QBD 399. The rule has been heavily criticised.
Plate me up? Brace me up?
Braces, unlike plates, are glued to the teeth and cannot be removed by the patient. Braces are used for younger and older children, as well as adults. It is uncommon to see an adult issued with an orthodontic plate. (Please note that plates are not the same thing as clear plastic aligners such as Invisalign®). What is a plate? A plate has a plastic base that clips over teeth and usually has wires and springs that can push, pull or hold teeth.
NEW YEAR NEW LIFE
Whether it’s about our own personal health or personal relationships it’s easy for unhealthy habits to sneak in and erode both. Now is a great time to have a quiet chat with ourselves and ask “What do I want this year? What do I want to change? What do I want to finally accomplish?” The big question is, are you ready to grab your health by the throat and OWN IT?
Today's NHL almost unrecognizable to the one Bettman inherited
This column was originally written on Feb. 1, 2018. Gary Bettman was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder on June 26, 2018. A week or so before the first and only commissioner in NHL history was hired, former Boston Bruins general manager Harry Sinden sarcastically, although somewhat accurately, described the qualifications for the job.
Lindros saga to get its unlikely happy ending in Philadelphia
There once was a really good player, who was so good in fact that he eventually became captain and the face of the franchise. He became one the very best players in franchise history. One of the best in the game. Hockey life was really good. But then things started to go horribly wrong. There was feuding with the owner and general manager. His leadership was questioned. His captaincy was removed. The relationship between the player and the team crumbled. It became unfixable.
Sixty years after his NHL debut, trailblazer Willie O'Ree still makes an impact
He just didn’t really know it at the time. Sixty years ago, almost 11 years after Jackie Robinson had broken the colour barrier in baseball, Willie O’Ree did the same in the NHL. His first NHL game with the Boston Bruins…the first black player in the history of the NHL. But it wasn’t until O’Ree opened the newspaper the next morning that he truly understood the significance of his NHL debut.
