Medicine Hats Cole Sanford gets 6 points to force Game 6: weekend 3 Stars

Posted on by

Medicine Hat's Cole Sanford (Marissa Baecker, Getty Images)No. 1 star: Cole Sanford, Medicine Hat Tigers (WHL)

Now that's a reversal of future: Sanford (4G-2A, +4) pulled a Sam Reinhart, or a Jaedon Deschaneau if you need your reference to be obscure, by scoring six points during Medicine Hat's series-extending 9-2 win over the Kootenay Ice on Saturday. The 18-year-old Vernon, B.C., native who had 33 goals in the regular season had been flummoxed by Ice goalies during the Tigers' two losses in Kootenay that put it one loss from elimination. But everything Sanford and Trevor Cox (1G-3A, +4) sent toward the goal "just seemed to be going into the net" as the Tigers went from trailing 2-1 at the game's midpoint to winning by a touchdown.

Sanford redirected a shot into the net for his second of the night to level 2-2 with 6:31 left in the second period. That caused the Ice to sag and Medicine Hat scored just 97 seconds later to take lead. In the third period, Sanford threw the floodgate open with a power-play goal 5:43 into the frame. The rest was cake.

Game 6 of the series is on Monday, back in Cranbrook, B.C.

No. 2 star: Nicolas Aub-Kubel, Val-d'Or Foreurs (QMJHL)

Aub-Kubel (2A, +2) made special plays on a special day, assisting on the icebreaker tally and series-winner as Val-d'Or eliminated Drummondville with a 3-2 Game 6 road win on Sunday. The Sorel, Que., native got the Foreurs, who will face defending champion Halifax inthe semifinal, off to a good start by setting up the 18-year-old Anthony Beauregard (2G, +2) just 1:50 into the contest. In the third, the 17-year-old Aub-Kubel did some more inspired work to create a chance and earned the second assist on a Beauregard marker that opened a 3-1 lead and also stood up as the margin of victory.

With the win, it will be Anthony Mantha's team against Joanthan Drouin's team in the Quebec League semifinal. Baie-Comeau awaits the Blainville-Boisbriand-Rimouski victory.

No. 3 star: Ben Thomson, North Bay Battalion (OHL)

Thomson (2G, +1) did what an overage forward is supposed to do in a closeout game by getting two decisive markers of the 3-2 Game 6 win at Barrie that sets up a North Bay-Oshawa Eastern Conference final.

Jake Smith made 13 of his 29 saves in the opening 20 minutes to allow the Battalion, which came in just 1-4 on the road in the playoffs, to regroup in the room while tied 1-1. On the first shift of the second, the Colts had a defensive breakdown, with Nick Paul (1G-1A, +1) cutting off the puck at the half-wall and whipping a pass by Aaron Ekblad to an unmarked Thomson. That 2-1 lead began to look larger and larger with each passing minute, especially after Colts defenceman Jake Dotchin hit the side of the goal on a wide-open chance in the second.

Matthew D. Bull and Heather Wilson: Confusing marijuana with medicine

Posted on by

By Matthew D. Bull and Heather Wilson Special to The Sun

Florida has recently joined the discussion already started in 34 other states, What is marijuana?

Currently there are 20 states that have legalized medicinal marijuana, and 14, including Florida, that have pending legislation.

Most of the arguments are directed at the cultural ramifications of letting the drug get a foothold in the state. The alarming thing is no one seems to be asking the question, What makes marijuana a medicine, anyway?

In general terms, a medicine is any substance that someone takes to treat an illness, but this isn't the definition that exists in the cultural consciousness, nor the one intended when invoking the term medicinal marijuana. The more common expectation is that something referred to as a medicine has a degree of official status and more importantly accountability for the consequences of the agent.

The most obvious example is that one wouldn't refer to medicinal alcohol, even though there are certainly some people who may use it to self-medicate. This is largely due to the fact that the general public puts a lot of trust in the opinion of medical professionals, and it might be difficult to find one who would recommend alcohol for a medical condition.

In fact, the term medicine is ubiquitously used as a synonym for the word drug as defined by the FDA. The biggest difference for our purposes is that a drug is officially recognized for its safety and efficacy, and in this regard, medicinal marijuana simply doesn't stack up.

There is an in-depth process by which a substance can become a drug (or medicine), and it has been refined over many years.

This process ensures that anything offered up to citizens as medicine has been proven through clinical trials to consistently provide the purported effect without causing harmful side effects.

Anything that succeeds is medicine, and anything that doesn't is not. Medicinal marijuana has no such evidence behind it.
