    Ryan Miller returns to Buffalo, finally | ProHockeyTalk
    8—  Goals for Canadiens wingerDale Weise. Only two players —Jamie Benn(10) andTyler Toffoli(9) — have more. This from a guy who’s never scored more than 10 goals in an NHL season, though he didrip up the Dutch leagueduring the lockout, so he had that going for him. It’s not like Weise has scored on half his shots either. He has 36 shots, third most on the Habs.1.83— The goals-against average of the Pittsburgh Penguins, the second lowest in the league. For all the talk about the Pens’ scoring woes — and that talk is justified, to be sure — credit should be given to how well they’ve played defensively. Sure, much of the credit goes toMarc-Andre Fleury, whose .939 save percentage ranks right up..

    Don Brown's 'Aaron and Alexander,' and More
    PhotoFallen founder: From "Aaron and Alexander."Once a lion and a man were walking, and they saw a great bronze sculpture on a pedestal. A bronze man was locked in battle with a fearsome bronze lion. The bronze man had pinned the bronze lion to the base of the pedestal and was clearly about to win the fight. The man said to the lion, “What a battle that must have been, can you imagine that, a man beating a lion?” The lion said to the man, “No, I can’t, but I can imagine that men are much better at making bronze ­sculptures.”Children’s books, with their deceptively simple formats and ideologically direct messages, are a fascinating pedestal on which we can view not only historical episodes bu..

    On Thursday, November 12, the Jets will host the Buffalo Bills for an important divisional game that could go a long way in solidifying an AFC wild card spot.The game is riddled with subplots: Geno Smith vs. IK Enempkali, Round 2; Rex Ryan's return to MetLife for the first time since he was fired, and, last and probably least: some uniforms that a lot of fans are going to hate.The uniforms are a monochrome look with new jerseys for each team. Even the green for the Jets is lighter than their usual green jersey.These garish #ColorRush uniforms,brought to you by Nike, will appear during four upcoming Thursday games, in case you needed another reason to not watch Thursday night NFL games.We'll ..

    'The Snow Rabbit,' by Camille Garoche, and More
    PhotoA forest of unexpected magic: From "The Snow Rabbit."What is the secret to snow’s alchemy — its power to transform any ordinary street into its own world? Backyards, driveways and rooftops take cover under white and everything is changed. Snow means gloves and boots and anticipation. It doubles your speed downhill, then cushions your fall at the bottom. It makes it much harder for school buses to reach their destination. But as three new books show, our captivation lies in something more than the break from routine and the opportunity for daredevil stunts. We make snowmen, we make angels, we build fortresses and we leave our footsteps wherever we go. After it snows, we sculpture the wor..
