Wilderness Volunteers Clean Up the California Coast
Last week, the BLM hosted a Wilderness Volunteers service trip at the King Range National Conservation Area in California. For the fourth year, volunteers from across the country camped and worked in the wilderness, cleaning the beaches and campsites and clearing trails for visitors. I am very grateful for their service to our public lands. Enjoy and share these images that reflect their work and the beauty of the California coast.

NWHL salary cap and signings confusing? Use our NWHL salary cap tracker to see who gets signed where and for how much
The NWHL’s RFA period is quickly coming to close, and free agency officially begins on May 1. As teams look to fill their 17-player roster for the 2016 – 2017 season, Along the Boards has created a comprehensive spreadsheet to help keep track of everyone as they sign.
This NWHL salary cap tracker breaks down the salary cap for each team. The first page has all of the players and their former team, country, and position, and also tracks their 2016 – 2017 contract, the difference from their 2015 – 2016 contract and the impact on their team’s cap.
The next four pages break take the data from the first page and looks at it on a team-by-team basis. Each sheet breaks down the percent of the cap each team spends per position, the average salary of the position, and, until the 2016 – 2017 season begins, how many players have been re-signed.
The final page breaks down all players’ salaries by position, showing the total amount spent by position, the percent of the total league salary spent on a position, and the average salary for the position. All of the salary information comes from the NWHL.

IS HE GOING TO BE DRAFTED NEXT???!!!??
We now have a 75% chance of the Western Conference finalist never having won a Cup... 25% of the Eastern. And a 50% chance overall. Who’re you currently rooting for?
Behind the Mask. Braden Holtby. (x)
He’s so dapper. It’s like looking at Henrik Lundqvist, v 2.0.

Sharks join the Lightning tonight, moving on to the 2nd round!
In previous seasons, I hadn't gone back to compare mid-season projections to final standings, so I thought that would be interesting this year. Who improved the most and who dropped the worst?
Best overall improvement:
In the East, it was the Penguins - who were cruising along at a projected 89 point / 9th place finish. They finished out the season with 104 points and 2nd overall in the East, giving them 2nd place in the Metropolitan division.
In the West, it was the Ducks - they were projecting out at just 84 points and an 11th place finish; they improved the most in the second half of the season to leap to 4th in the west and 1st in the Pacific with 103 points.
Worst second-half slide:
In the East, it would have to be New Jersey, who barely edges out Boston for this dubious honor, but let's just call it a tie. The Devils were clinging on to an 8th seed but fell to 12th by the time the season was done. Boston battled it out with Detroit and Philadelphia down to the wire, but in the end, they were done in by tiebreakers. More on that in a moment.
In the West, it was Arizona, who fell out of playoff positioning and never quite got it back, dropping to 10th overall in the conference after originally projecting at 7th place.
How heartbreaking is losing out on the playoffs for Boston this season?
Well, it's not quite as painful for the Bruins as it would've been for the Red Wings - because Detroit would've ended their playoff streak at 24 consecutive seasons. Instead, the Red Wings are heading to the playoffs for the 25th consecutive season, and Boston is left wondering what might have been.
Unfortunately for the Bruins, they had a rough final dozen games of the season, and it made them fall far enough in the standings that the final decision was left up to tiebreakers.
Here's the kicker, Bruins fans: Boston actually owned 2 of the 3 tiebreakers over Detroit. Unfortunately for them, however, they didn't own the most important one: ROW, which is the first tiebreaker.
As you can see from the standings chart, Detroit's ROW is just one more than Boston's. If the Bruins had won just one more game in regulation/overtime, even if their ROW points still matched Detroit's, it would be Boston, not the Red Wings, occupying 3rd overall in the Atlantic. Here’s why:
1st tiebreaker (words from NHL.com): "The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column."
As you can see in the above screenshot, Detroit’s ROW was 39 to Boston’s 38. Therefore, additional tiebreakers were not required. But if they were...
2nd tiebreaker: The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included.
Red Wings had 11 goals to Boston's 16 in the four games between these two clubs. This tiebreaker would have gone to Boston.
3rd tiebreaker: The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.
Boston was +10 while Detroit was -13. This tiebreaker would have also gone to Boston.
My own addition is to standardize voting methods across the country, at least for national elections. Presidential elections shouldn’t hang on hanging chads.
100% agree that voting should be clear and standardized across the country. There should be no excuses that ballots are difficult or challenging to read or understand.
