...desperation…That means coming out and skating as hard as you can and making every little play, and we didn’t do that tonight.”The first period was slow going for both teams, with the Crimson spending more time in the offensive zone and generating the better of the chances at goal.

But those earmarks sound porky because they sound wasteful, not because...
...elections in June looming, Cowen has the dual task of saving his party at the polls and repairing the damage to Ireland's international reputation. Once the shining economic success story of Europe, the country has been routinely described in recent months as the weak link in the euro zone and even suffered the ignominy of being cited as a potential recipient of aid from Germany last week, alongside other struggling E.U. states like Hungary...
