With just over a minute remaining in the final period, and the Golden Knights, seeded number-one in the East, holding a two-goal lead. Providence coach Lou Lamoriello yanked goalie Scott Fiske for a sixth skater. Just ten seconds later, at 19:04, a Scot Kleinendorst bullet found its way past Clarkson netminder Don Syivestri to narrow the margin...
...transfer of responsibility occurs when a paper stands behind an anonymous source. It thereby vouches for the story more than for stories whose origins are honestly stated. The leaker always has some self-serving motive, good or bad, but gets off scot-free while accomplishing his purpose.

Bell, the real-life model for Sherlock Holmes, quickly noted the symptoms of elephantiasis, then prevalent in the West Indies. The man's speech was obviously that of a Scot. He had an air of authority, yet Bell concluded that he was not an officer. The reason: he did not remove his hat-a miscue that Bell knew could only have been committed by a non-com not yet used to civilian ways...
