DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Jordan 1 White Outlet
. -- Danica Patrick cleared a path for her teammates in NASCARs new
knockout qualifying that led to a Turner Scott Motorsports rout at
Daytona International Speedway.
Dylan Kwasniewski won the pole for his Nationwide Series debut -- the
first rookie since Rusty Wallace in 1985 to win the pole at Daytona --
by following Patrick and Kyle Larson through traffic in Fridays
qualifying session.
The 18-year-old topped the speed chart with a lap at 192.078 mph in the
rain-shortened qualifying session. Larson qualified second with a lap at
192.074 and Patrick was third as Turner Scotts cars went 1-2-3 for
Saturdays race.
"Danica did a fantastic job of leading us through the pack and getting
us clean through there," said Kwasniewski, winner of the K&N East
title last year and the K&N West title in 2012.
"Being a rookie, it was hard for me to make the decisions on where to
go," he said. "Danica did a fantastic job, she got us through clean and I
was coming up to a sea of cars on the back straight and I was like, I
have no idea how we are going to be able to get us through this. But she
picked her way through perfectly, got us in the right position and got
us all three a great lap. We stuck together and made sure we could be a
team out there."
The qualifying session was the first for NASCARs new multicar,
knockout-style format. All cars were on track for the opening 25-minute
segment that was interrupted twice by rain. The fastest 24 cars were
scheduled to advance to a second, 10-minute round, but it was rained
out.
There were as many as 30 cars on the track at one point, which made the
one segment that was run far more entertaining than the traditional
single-car runs NASCAR had used.
Patrick acknowledged the session was worth watching, but could be
interesting as the season progresses.
"I think there are some times when its going to be a total disaster,"
Patrick said. "Like when we go to short tracks. I just cant imagine
where its going to be like. (At Daytona), theres plenty of room, people
can go wherever, theres many lanes, its all about momentum. But when you
go to places like Bristol, Martinsville and even Phoenix. Short tracks
in general are just going to be a really big challenge. And then youve
got the mile-and-a-halves where youre just going a lot faster."

Have you ever worked the final game of a Stanley Cup Final? If so, what
do the officials do after the game? Is it a special night for them, too?
And what is involved in the off-season?
Thanks,

Mark:
Even though it has been a couple of days since the Cup was hoisted by
the Los Angeles Kings in the Staples Center the celebration continues
through Monday with a scheduled Stanley Cup Parade for the players and
their fans. Congratulations to the Kings on their success; not only for
winning the Cup but for the way they battled through each of the
previous series to advance to the final! Their never quit attitude and
strength of character was something special to watch. The New York
Rangers also deserve tremendous credit for overcoming adversity on
different fronts and for their outstanding playoff run. The final game
was as intense and exciting as any fan could hope for regardless of who
you were cheering for.
The officials would have observed the post-series handshake from near
the referees crease and most likely remained on the ice as Commissioner
Bettman presented the Stanley Cup. This is as close as a referee or
linesman can get to being part of the Stanley Cup experience; some 45
feet away as it being presented to the winning team captain. After
Dustin Brown received the Cup the officials would skate slowly along the
boards, unnoticed as they retreated from the ice at the Zamboni
entrance and then enter the safety and solitude of their dressing room.
There is certainly an element of relief that the series and their season
is over as the officials shake hands and congratulate each other on
their work together as a team. The playoff run is a long grind for the
officials as well and the thought of going home to their family and not
having to pack their equipment bag for at least a couple of months are
both welcome thoughts.
There might also be some trepidation as to how the crews performance
will be regarded and evaluated by their superiors. There is intense
pressure surrounding each game and every closely-scrutinized decision
that an official is called upon to make. Regardless of the outcome, they
give their best and hope that their effort and judgment is perceived as
“good enough”. It is also a moment for self-reflection on their
personal performance and in the bigger picture of the journey that began
at training camp and ended in this pinnacle of the season and perhaps
in their career. There is a sense of accomplishment.
The referees are required to attend to one last piece of business by
scribing their signature on the final game sheet once it is brought into
their dressing room by the Official Scorer. Although not required, I
always had the linesmen sign the game sheet as well and then asked for
copies that each of us could keep as a memento of the final game. After
the Officiating and Hockey Operations Department personnel completed
their debriefing comments the officials would relax with a cold beverage
followed by a hot shower. Food would have been catered in and once the
officials were showered and dressed they would open the room to family
and friends that might have attended the game. My wife, Kathy attended
all but two of the dozen Stanley Cup Final series that I worked, in
addition to the 98 Winter Olympics in Nagano and the ‘96 World Cup of
Hockey in Europe. Each of our seven children took turns attending Cup
Final games and they share wonderful memories of being part of
ssomething very special from behind the scenes. Fake Jordan 1 High.
I always wanted to share any business success that I enjoyed with my
family since they made sacrifices as a result of me being away from home
so much during the season.
The referees and linesmen returned to their home base the morning after
the game in Los Angeles and will attempt to quickly get back into the
swing of family life in time for Fathers Day. I hope they plan to get
away to relax and reconnect. Kathy and I always planned a vacation; just
the two of us to get away for a week or 10 days immediately after the
season. It was an important time for me to decompress and for us to
enjoy each other as husband and wife. Once school ended for the children
we took them on a special family vacation as well. It is very important
for an official to try to keep his life in balance and reward the best
and sometimes only fans he has; namely his family!
Mark, I worked several final games but one of the most memorable was
Colorados seven-game victory over the New Jersey Devils in 2001. The
primary reason for that is because it was Raymond Bourques first and
only time hoisting the Stanley Cup. In his 20 full seasons with Boston,
the Bruins had come up short against Edmonton in both 1988 and 1990. At
the age of 40, the five-time Norris Trophy winner as the leagues top
defenceman led all Avs blue liners in scoring, with 59 points, was named
to the First All-Star team, and was runner–up to Nicklas Lidstrom of
the Detroit Red Wings in the Norris Trophy voting. He also scored the
winning goal in Game 3 of the final.
As I prepared to work Game 7 of that series, I must tell you the city of
Denver was electrified from the moment the sun came up that morning.
The only minute of calm I found that day was at 8am, when I went down to
the Pepsi Center for a skate before the teams arrived. I skated alone
in the empty, dimly lit arena for 30 minutes, while outside the
building, television trucks and equipment filled the nearest parking
lot. I had never seen so much media coverage for a final, and the big
story was Raymond Bourque.
The Avalanche won Game 7 that night, and in a remarkable display of
class and respect, team captain Joe Sakic, after posing with the Cup,
handed it directly to Ray Bourque so that he could be the first to skate
a victory lap. My colleagues and I watched Ray skate the Cup around the
ice from the Zamboni entrance and then retreated to our dressing room.
It was something special to have been part of. The game had gone well
for us and there had been no controversy. We felt good about the job we
had done and felt peace and contentment as a result. We celebrated the
end of our season together as colleagues and then quickly showered and
brought our wives and family members into the room to celebrate with us.
We went to a fine Denver steakhouse as a close-knit group and held our
own “Stanley Cup party;” not because we won anything but because we had
done our job well. Kathy and I flew home the next morning feeling joyous
in the knowledge that it was, once again family time even though it
would only last a month or so until it was time to begin my conditioning
program to get ready for training camp. Then it would all begin again!
Such is the life for an NHL referee and his family.
Thank you for another terrific season on Cmon Ref. Please enjoy a safe
and happy summer with your family. I hope to see you back here again
next season.

us all three a great lap. We stuck together and made sure we could be a
team out there."
The qualifying session was the first for NASCARs new multicar,
knockout-style format. All cars were on track for the opening 25-minute
segment that was interrupted twice by rain. The fastest 24 cars were
scheduled to advance to a second, 10-minute round, but it was rained
out.
There were as many as 30 cars on the track at one point, which made the
one segment that was run far more entertaining than the traditional
single-car runs NASCAR had used.
Patrick acknowledged the session was worth watching, but could be
interesting as the season progresses.
"I think there are some times when its going to be a total disaster,"
Patrick said. "Like when we go to short tracks. I just cant imagine
where its going to be like. (At Daytona), theres plenty of room, people
can go wherever, theres many lanes, its all about momentum. But when you
go to places like Bristol, Martinsville and even Phoenix. Short tracks
in general are just going to be a really big challenge. And then youve
got the mile-and-a-halves where youre just going a lot faster."

Have you ever worked the final game of a Stanley Cup Final? If so, what
do the officials do after the game? Is it a special night for them, too?
And what is involved in the off-season?
Thanks,

Mark:
Even though it has been a couple of days since the Cup was hoisted by
the Los Angeles Kings in the Staples Center the celebration continues
through Monday with a scheduled Stanley Cup Parade for the players and
their fans. Congratulations to the Kings on their success; not only for
winning the Cup but for the way they battled through each of the
previous series to advance to the final! Their never quit attitude and
strength of character was something special to watch. The New York
Rangers also deserve tremendous credit for overcoming adversity on
different fronts and for their outstanding playoff run. The final game
was as intense and exciting as any fan could hope for regardless of who
you were cheering for.
The officials would have observed the post-series handshake from near
the referees crease and most likely remained on the ice as Commissioner
Bettman presented the Stanley Cup. This is as close as a referee or
linesman can get to being part of the Stanley Cup experience; some 45
feet away as it being presented to the winning team captain. After
Dustin Brown received the Cup the officials would skate slowly along the
boards, unnoticed as they retreated from the ice at the Zamboni
entrance and then enter the safety and solitude of their dressing room.
There is certainly an element of relief that the series and their season
is over as the officials shake hands and congratulate each other on
their work together as a team. The playoff run is a long grind for the
officials as well and the thought of going home to their family and not
having to pack their equipment bag for at least a couple of months are
both welcome thoughts.
There might also be some trepidation as to how the crews performance
will be regarded and evaluated by their superiors. There is intense
pressure surrounding each game and every closely-scrutinized decision
that an official is called upon to make. Regardless of the outcome, they
give their best and hope that their effort and judgment is perceived as
“good enough”. It is also a moment for self-reflection on their
personal performance and in the bigger picture of the journey that began
at training camp and ended in this pinnacle of the season and perhaps
in their career. There is a sense of accomplishment.
The referees are required to attend to one last piece of business by
scribing their signature on the final game sheet once it is brought into
their dressing room by the Official Scorer. Although not required, I
always had the linesmen sign the game sheet as well and then asked for
copies that each of us could keep as a memento of the final game. After
the Officiating and Hockey Operations Department personnel completed
their debriefing comments the officials would relax with a cold beverage
followed by a hot shower. Food would have been catered in and once the
officials were showered and dressed they would open the room to family
and friends that might have attended the game. My wife, Kathy attended
all but two of the dozen Stanley Cup Final series that I worked, in
addition to the 98 Winter Olympics in Nagano and the ‘96 World Cup of
Hockey in Europe. Each of our seven children took turns attending Cup
Final games and they share wonderful memories of being part of
ssomething very special from behind the scenes. Fake Jordan 1 High.
I always wanted to share any business success that I enjoyed with my
family since they made sacrifices as a result of me being away from home
so much during the season.
The referees and linesmen returned to their home base the morning after
the game in Los Angeles and will attempt to quickly get back into the
swing of family life in time for Fathers Day. I hope they plan to get
away to relax and reconnect. Kathy and I always planned a vacation; just
the two of us to get away for a week or 10 days immediately after the
season. It was an important time for me to decompress and for us to
enjoy each other as husband and wife. Once school ended for the children
we took them on a special family vacation as well. It is very important
for an official to try to keep his life in balance and reward the best
and sometimes only fans he has; namely his family!
Mark, I worked several final games but one of the most memorable was
Colorados seven-game victory over the New Jersey Devils in 2001. The
primary reason for that is because it was Raymond Bourques first and
only time hoisting the Stanley Cup. In his 20 full seasons with Boston,
the Bruins had come up short against Edmonton in both 1988 and 1990. At
the age of 40, the five-time Norris Trophy winner as the leagues top
defenceman led all Avs blue liners in scoring, with 59 points, was named
to the First All-Star team, and was runner–up to Nicklas Lidstrom of
the Detroit Red Wings in the Norris Trophy voting. He also scored the
winning goal in Game 3 of the final.
As I prepared to work Game 7 of that series, I must tell you the city of
Denver was electrified from the moment the sun came up that morning.
The only minute of calm I found that day was at 8am, when I went down to
the Pepsi Center for a skate before the teams arrived. I skated alone
in the empty, dimly lit arena for 30 minutes, while outside the
building, television trucks and equipment filled the nearest parking
lot. I had never seen so much media coverage for a final, and the big
story was Raymond Bourque.
The Avalanche won Game 7 that night, and in a remarkable display of
class and respect, team captain Joe Sakic, after posing with the Cup,
handed it directly to Ray Bourque so that he could be the first to skate
a victory lap. My colleagues and I watched Ray skate the Cup around the
ice from the Zamboni entrance and then retreated to our dressing room.
It was something special to have been part of. The game had gone well
for us and there had been no controversy. We felt good about the job we
had done and felt peace and contentment as a result. We celebrated the
end of our season together as colleagues and then quickly showered and
brought our wives and family members into the room to celebrate with us.
We went to a fine Denver steakhouse as a close-knit group and held our
own “Stanley Cup party;” not because we won anything but because we had
done our job well. Kathy and I flew home the next morning feeling joyous
in the knowledge that it was, once again family time even though it
would only last a month or so until it was time to begin my conditioning
program to get ready for training camp. Then it would all begin again!
Such is the life for an NHL referee and his family.
Thank you for another terrific season on Cmon Ref. Please enjoy a safe
and happy summer with your family. I hope to see you back here again
next season.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Jordan 1 White Outlet
. -- Danica Patrick cleared a path for her teammates in NASCARs new
knockout qualifying that led to a Turner Scott Motorsports rout at
Daytona International Speedway.
Dylan Kwasniewski won the pole for his Nationwide Series debut -- the
first rookie since Rusty Wallace in 1985 to win the pole at Daytona --
by following Patrick and Kyle Larson through traffic in Fridays
qualifying session.
The 18-year-old topped the speed chart with a lap at 192.078 mph in the
rain-shortened qualifying session. Larson qualified second with a lap at
192.074 and Patrick was third as Turner Scotts cars went 1-2-3 for
Saturdays race.
"Danica did a fantastic job of leading us through the pack and getting
us clean through there," said Kwasniewski, winner of the K&N East
title last year and the K&N West title in 2012.
"Being a rookie, it was hard for me to make the decisions on where to
go," he said. "Danica did a fantastic job, she got us through clean and I
was coming up to a sea of cars on the back straight and I was like, I
have no idea how we are going to be able to get us through this. But she
picked her way through perfectly, got us in the right position and got
us all three a great lap. We stuck together and made sure we could be a
team out there."
