Posted on 12:12pm Thursday 7th Jun 2012 The LA Kings had a chance to win their first ever Stanley Cup last night in their own rink. However the New Jersey Devils had different ideas. They’ve planted a seed of doubt in the Kings, and Game 5 in a best of seven series will now be back in the Devil’s rink.
Rookie Devils forward Adam Henrique played the hero again by scoring with less than five minutes to play in regulation and the resilient Devils pulled out a 3-1 victory on Wednesday. “It’s been a fun year and it’s not over yet,” Henrique said after his third game-winning goal of these playoffs.
Veteran goalie and future Hall of Famer, Martin Brodeur said: “You know, I think we wanted to make them jump on a plane and come to New Jersey. We had to go anyway, might as well get a game over there. I’m sure they’re not happy to make that trip. We’ll try and make it miserable for them again.”
The Kings did get unlucky last night, missing 3 breakaways and putting two shots off the post. The statistics are on their side however, as they have not lost 1 of 10 games on the road in the playoffs.
Posted on 11:54am Thursday 7th Jun 2012 A recent study suggests that sat-nav systems can actually impair driving, as well as sometimes send motorists the wrong way. Researchers at the University of London and Lancaster University tested drivers in a car simulator.
The study suggested that motorists do not drive as safely when using a sat-nav as they have to concentrate on the directions given. While they could cope with simple instructions, they started to swerve, speed up or fail to notice pedestrians if they had too much information.
Volunteers were set tasks by a computer which imitated the instructions given by a vehicle’s satellite, navigation system.
Lead researcher Polly Dalton, from the department of psychology at University of London’s Royal Holloway college, said: “People are capable of following spoken instructions in a car and it’s actually a really good way of presenting information to them. It’s important not to make those directions too complicated because that runs the risk of asking them to keep too much information in mind when they are also trying to concentrate on the driving task.”
