Mirjan Jarovije-vic, 15, a student at the Yaroslav Cernyi technical school, took the arrival of a visitor as a splendid opportunity to lean on his shovel and sneak a smoke. He said he had been chosen for the work detail because he was so smart that he would not fall behind in school. His volunteer supervisor, Muharen Corba, 27, was smart too.

He looks out at the whole rink, and can see all of every thing, even into my head." Against Winnipeg a few days before Christmas, they both scored short handed goals 15 seconds apart, a phenomenon that is becoming something of an Oiler specialty. Consider that Calgary, for instance, has scored 21 power-play goals this year, when the opponent was outnumbered...
