the StanleyCup champions played their best game of the youngseason.Playing left wing instead of defense against theDetroit Red Wings last Thursday night,Albelin scoredthe second goal of the game and made the pass that setup the fourth one.Albelin played so well in the 4-2 victory thatCoach Jacques Lemaire said,“Tommy,you lost yourjob.”“I was kind of surprised,”Albelin said today.“When he saw the look on my face,he said veryquickly as a defenseman and I knew then he wasjoking.”Lemaire had Albelin right back on defense in thenext game,last Saturdays 4-1 triumph over theOttawa Senators.Albelin responded just as well,making the pass for the winning goal.With Brian Rolston leaving todays practicebecause of a foot problem and ready to join BobbyHolik and Bob Carpenter as injured Devils,look forAlbelin to return to left wing when New Jersey playsthe Vancouver Canucks Wednesday night at theMeadowlands.This season,the 31-year-old Albelin has playedleft wing three times and defenseman four.In addition,because Albelin is so adept at skating and puck-handling,Lemaire has been using him for penaltykilling and the power play.“Its a big advantage to have a player like him,”Lemaire said after todays practice.“When you donthave the necessary player to play against a player,youcan use Abbey because he adjusts very well.He listensto all the things I tell the defensemen and all the thingsI tell the forwards.“Lemaires decision to shuttle Albelin is notprompted by a desire to find the best position for him.Rather,it is testimony to Albelins versatility.Albelin was used as a left wing for the first timeby Herb Brooks,the man whom Lemaire replaced afterBrooks resigned three summers ago,but he playedonly a handful of games in that position.The Devils changed coaches frequently inAlbelins early years with the team.As a result,Albelin contemplated returning home to Swedenseveral times.But he said today he was glad he neverdid.Albelin came to the Devils from Quebec in 1988and has been a solid player.Year after year,despitecoaching changes,injuries and the presence ofmarquee names like Scott Stevens,Slava Fetisov,Stephane Richer and Claude Lemeiux,Albelinsdedication and consummate professionalism havemade him an integral part of the team.“My philosophy has always been to play where theteam needs me,”Albelin said.“I dont question thedecisions by the coaches.As long as Im out there onthe ice,I dont care what position I play.”Albelin has performed effectively at wing and ondefense despite the different responsibilities.Judgingby the way Albelin described them,it is clear heprefers to play defense.“There are a lot of adjustments you have to makeas a forward,”Albelin said,“You have to be a littlemore creative,do more things with the puck.Improvise somewhat,but to a point.As a defenseman,you can get by most of the time by giving the puck toyour forwards and support the play.”Albelin said today that the uncertainty overwhether he will play defense or offense on any givennight was not much of a concern in terms of preparinghimself.“I dont mind as long as I know before the warm-ups,”he said.61.Tommy Albelin is _ defenseman.A.Red WingsB.CanucksC.DevilsD.Brooks62.Albelin has played defenseman _ thisseason.A.three timesB.four timesC.two timesD.five times63.Coach Lemaire shuttles Albelin because he_.A.is versatileB.is a solid

Albelinin CanucksD.Versatile AlbelinBrings Devil VictoriesText BThe effect of any writing on the public mind is mathematicallymeasurable by its depth of thought.How much water does it draw?If itawaken you to think,if it lift you from your feet with the great voice ofeloquence,then the effect is to be wide,slow,permanent,over the minds ofmen;if the pages instruct you not,they will die like flies in the hour.The wayto speak and write what shall not go out of fashion is,to speak and writesincerely.The argument which has not power to reach my own practice,Imay well doubt,will fail to reach yours.But take Sidneys maxim:“Lookin thy heart,and write.”He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public.That statement only is fit to be made public,which you have come at inattempting to satisfy your own curiosity.The writer who takes his subjectfrom his ear,and not from his heart,should know that he has lost as much ashe seems to have gained,and when the empty book has gathered all its praise,and half the people say,“What poetry!What genius!”it still needs fuel tomake fire.That only profits which is profitable.Life alone can impart life;and though we should burst,we can only be valued as we make ourselvesvaluable.There is no luck in literary reputation.They who make up the finalverdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hourwhen it appears;but a court as of angels,a public not to be bribed,not to beentreated,and not to be overawed,decides upon every mans title to fame.Only those books come down which deserve to last.Gilt edges,vellum,andmorocco,and presentation-copies to all the libraries,will not preserve a bookin circulation beyond its intrinsic date.It must go with all W
