Zamboni puts damper on Huskies in Lethbridge

The only thing that could stop the Huskies men’s hockey team in Lethbridge this past weekend was the Zamboni.

Saskatchewan defeated the Pronghorns 5-2 in their league opener on Sept. 30 and were ahead 3-0 after two periods of play on Oct. 1 when a hydraulic hose broke in the ice resurfacing machine. As a result, the machine was left on the playing surface and the ice was over-flooded with water.

Head coaches for both teams, the referee and the Canada West president determined that even if the machine could be removed from the ice, the surface was still unsafe to play on.

The third period will be rescheduled at a later date.

In the first game, Lethbridge got off to a good start with goalie Scott Bowles stopping all 14 of the Huskies’ shots and Taylor Gal burying a rebound past Dogs goalie David Reekie to give the Pronghorns a 1-0 lead going into the intermission.

The second period was a different story, however, as the Huskies scored three quick goals right off the bat. Brennan Bosch scored about one minute into the period to tie up the game while Brendan Dowd’s goal one minute later gave the Dogs the lead. Craig McCallum scored the insurance marker three minutes after that.

Rookie Cass Mappin’s goal late in the period put Lethbridge back on the board, but it was not enough to spark a comeback.

Bosch scored his second of the night early in the third period while Derek Hulak scored the Huskies’ final goal with less than five minutes to play.

Bosch was awarded first star of the game for his performance, Hulak was named second star and Mappin, who scored his first goal in Canadian Interuniversity Sport, earned third spot for his effort.

Martha Stewart gets silly with Conan O'Brien, Seth Meyers

Martha Stewart’s cooking up some comedy with Conan O’Brien and Seth Meyers on “Martha

Stewart Presents: Men Who Make Us Laugh” (7 p.m. March 27, Hallmark Channel; *** out of

four).

Stewart sits down with O'Brien on the set of his TBS talk show, “Conan,” for a surprisingly

serious discussion about his career ups and especially the recent downs when NBC threw him

under the bus to bring Jay Leno back to “The Tonight Show.”

But O’Brien also cracks up, taking Stewart on a tour of the studio and explaining how his

make-up artists work.

“What you can’t see is the hose,” he jokes. “They fire a hose of flesh tone at me.” (He

also offers up the “recipe” he uses to keep his famous pompadour so tall.)

On Conan O'Brien's make-up and hair routine
CO: This is where they put 60 pounds of make-up.
MS: Wow, from that little tiny table? It doesn’t look like a lot of make-up.
CO: What you can’t see is the hose. They fire a hose of flesh tone at me.
MS: Your hair is done here too?
CO: My hair is actually done in a separate engineering room were we have a lot of hydraulic hose

machinery.

On O'Brien's famous hairstyle
CO: I had this hairstyle going back to eighth grade. And yes I was mocked, I was hit, I was

beaten.
MS: But mom went with it too.
CO: No, mom mocked and hit and beat me.

On O'Brien's dark side
CO: I kid Martha, that’s what I do. I joke, I jest.
MS: But it always has a dark side to it. You’re never dark with you’re children, are you?
CO: At night. Just before bedtime I usually tell them we’re only here for a small amount of

time. No one really knows what happens after we die. Have a good night’s sleep. So they’re

both getting a lot of therapy now.

Meyers is the focus of the hour-long special’s second half. The “Saturday Night Live” head

writer and “Weekend Update” anchor travels to Stewart’s Connecticut farm, where he

attempts to help her with her chores, with hilarious results.

A clip reel provided by Hallmark (above) makes the Meyers interview seem more silly than

revealing, but Stewart does expose more about the funnyman who went to Northwestern

University and got his comedy start at iO in Chicago. (Click this link to see another version

of Meyers' sneak peek. Go to Page 2, "Men Who make Us Laugh.")

On Seth Meyers' and Martha Stewart's jobs
MS: So I would think it would be kind of hard to wake up every morning and know that you have

to be funny. I mean, that’s my feeling.
SM: Right. I would feel like it would be hard to wake up every morning and know you had to

make something in the kitchen. So it’s good we’re doing what we’re doing.

On Meyers' favorite co-stars
MS: Who else do you like working with on Saturday Night Live.  Everybody?  Do you like

everybody on the show?
SM: I like everybody. I really do like everybody. Yeah. Oh, except for Andy Samberg, I don’t

like him. Thank you for reminding me, I do not care for Andy Samberg. He’s like my

archenemy.

On Meyers' salary
MS: Do you make a lot of money doing “Saturday Night Live”?
SM: You can’t believe how much money I make. I mean like, it’s not a contest, but we are

way closer than you think, you and I (looks around). My stables slightly bigger I guess. Yeah

I make tons of money, tons of money.

On Meyers' taking Brian William's job
MS: Would you like to host a late night talk show?
SM: I want Brian William’s job. I don’t want to lie to you. Not because I think I’d be

good at it but I just think it would really burn him if I pushed him out. That’s my goal
