re don cherry s coach s corner summary april allan cs ualberta ca allan sullivan writes before i begin lambasting don cherry let me first say that i ve been sort of a cherry fan for a while admittedly stuff he says has to be taken lightly but he s more or less harmless on saturday however he crossed the lines of good taste according to don the entire article wasn t perfect and there were some shots by frank musil and alpo suhonen don noted that musil wasn t much of a player didn t score many goals last year he also made fun of their names one guy has a name like dog food the other like a laxitive meta musil this is the best he can do gee don tremendous amounts of professionalism here the cbc looks just as bad as he looks foolish letting him get away with this nonsense making fun of names it s bad enough that he makes asinine blanket statements about european players but he s now resorted to making fun of their names too he sounded like an idiot much like he did last week when he said that teemu would never make it to his rock em sock em video until he dropped the gloves on the subject of realignment don said that he liked the new division names well what he said was that even though he s been around the league for quite some time he still doesn t know who s where w r t conference and division names hello mcfly the names have been around for a couple of decades or so he also invited the audience to name the teams in the wales quick quick followed by ah you don t know i don t know sorry don wrong on this one ron to don i don t know wy i like you on your show for minutes i can hardly stand you on this show for this was absolutely hilarious don s argument about the basketball and baseball brawls was fairly good unfortunately he neglected to mention the fines that were levelled in the nba case serious money oh well he s never been one for objectivity has he don s question to gretzky wouldn t it be better for you to change your friends so that they like the game than for us to change the game for your friends now this i liked

re too many europeans in nhl in rauser sfu ca rauser fraser sfu ca writes ten years ago the number of europeans in the nhl was roughly a quarter of what it is now going into the season the numbers of euros on nhl teams have escalated to the following stats canadians americans europeans please note that these numbers are rounded off and taken from the top players on each of the teams my source is the vancouver sun here s the point there are far too many europeans in the nhl i am sick of watching a game between an american and a canadian team let s say the red wings and the canucks and seeing names like bure konstantinov and borshevshky is this north america or isn t it toronto detriot quebec and edmonton are particularly annoying but the numbers of euros on other teams is getting worse as well that s why we have expansion to create more jobs nhl teams can t afford to import role players from europe they pick the stars but will continue to build their teams around local players with the numbers of euros in the nhl escalating the problem is clearly only getting worse i m all for the creation of a european hockey league and let the bures and selannes of the world play on their own continent i d love to see a european nhl division but can t see it happen for some time there s simply not enough fan interest at the moment in several crucial markets like germany italy and france while sweden and finland probably can t afford to shell out for tickets the way american canadian fans do call it the minnesota north stars effect scandinavians do love hockey but we prefer to watch local inexpensive hockey to the nhl the national hockey league should love the idea though pan european tv channels such as eurosport could bring in the millions the american networks likely never will pay i just don t want them on mine richard j rauser you have no idea what you re doing rauser sfu ca oh don t worry about that we re professional wni outlaws we do this for a living remember no matter where you go there you are dr banzai

re this year s biggest and worst opinion in article apr alchemy chem utoronto ca golchowy alchemy chem utoronto ca gerald olchowy writes in article c zcii ftn watserv uwaterloo ca smale healthy uwaterloo ca bryan smale writes team biggest biggest team mvp surprise disappointment philadelphia flyers lindros recchi fedyk galley eklund fence sitting look at philly s record with eric and without there is no doubt soderstrom is probably the biggest surprise re eric true but fortunately we didn t get to find out what they would be like without recchi for games soderstrom absolutely shutouts in games for a rookie without a lot of defense in front of him runnerups to galley and fedyk who are scoring a ton over their career best but galley thinks he s paul coffey puts scoring ahead of defending and fedyk has tailed off big time eklund was a big question mark this year and was coming off injuries points in games is not bad at all and recently he s been a huge factor in the wins they ve gotten eklund has never had a point a game season in his career his production is very typical for him how does he qualify as a disappointment if anything he s a surprise my choice would be roussel if i went strictly by what was expected of players but i never thought that he had what it takes to be a goalie my biggest disappointment is bill dineen i thought that he was going to be the perfect coach for this young team instead he s made too many bad moves and imho has cost them enough games to keep them out of the playoffs this year any coach that thinks putting eric lindros at the point on power plays is a bright idea needs to go back to coaching school pete clark jr rsh flyers contact and mailing list owner

flyers notes the flyers team that can beat any team on any night showed up at the spectrum sunday night and dominated the maple leafs thoroughly en route to a shutout tommy soderstrom will get credit for the shutout but he barely broke a sweat until the third period as the flyers defense kept the leafs from mounting any serious attack injuries pelle eklund is day to day with a bruised thigh roster moves jason bowen was added to the lineup for his first nhl game jason was the flyers second pick in the first round th overall of the entry draft years old lbs in games with the tri city americans he had goals assists and pim he plays left wing and defense he played defense in this game although bobby taylor said that bill dineen was planning to use him up front as well andre faust was returned to hershey he actually left after the second period of the kings game flew to albany got the game tying goal in a bears ot win and played again for hershey sunday night lines fedyk lindros recchi beranek brind amour dineen lomakin butsayev conroy acton brown galley mcgill yushkevich cronin carkner hawgood bowen tommy soderstrom in goal acton replaced lomakin in the rd period game summary if the flyers played like this every night they d be in the playoffs this year the flyers hit everything that moved they created scoring chance after scoring chance they snuffed out everything that the leafs tried to do jason bowen made a good play on his first nhl shift that almost created a goal he had the puck in the top of the left offensive circle all alone but instead of taking the shot he found brind amour crashing the net on the other side a perfect pass and a good shot across daren puppa s body should have been a goal but puppa made a great save reading the play garry galley gave the maple leafs th ranked power play the first chance when he hooked doug gilmour at the flyers lowly st ranked penalty killing unit was almost flawless the entire game and set the tone on this kill the maple leafs got almost nothing but long unscreened shots and the defense swept away every rebound after the power play the flyers got a goal on an ugly play rod brind amour gave the puck to greg hawgood at the right point and he sent a drive at the net puppa made the save and kicked the rebound right into the feet of josef beranek and bob rouse who were wrestling in the slot beranek was able to get his stick on the puck and push it out to dineen who was skating into the slot from the right circle and he lifted a backhander over puppa for a flyers lead at the flyers kept the pressure on and puppa was the only leaf keeping the flyers from building on their lead for a while eventually things settled down and defense prevailed each team got an occasional scoring chance but the goalies were strong bowen started giving some lindros like checks in his own corners then lindros who was looking to avenge a hit foligno gave him thought he had a chance to even the score he had foligno lined up at center ice leaned into him and rode him into the center ice boards the only problem was that foligno was a little far from the boards and mike mister mcgeough felt that it warranted a boarding call at the leafs couldn t get anything going on the power play as the flyers were very aggressive for a change on the kill with time running out in the period recchi carried through the neutral zone and handed to lindros as they approached the leaf s blue line they were in a crowd with wendell clark and jamie macoun lindros tried a backhand pass to recchi through the feet of macoun that connected to recchi but then clark checked recchi off the puck macoun then tried to clear but it was weak and went right to mcgill who had manned the point he drove it from just inside the blue line macoun got his stick on it and deflected it past his own goalie at shots were flyers in the period the flyers finally got their first chance on the power play when dave andreychuk tripped up rod brind amour in his offensive zone during the power play the flyers got cheated a little when the puck popped up into the air and eric gloved it down but mcgeough thought it hit his stick above his head we could see from our seats at the other end of the ice that it only hit his glove and the replay confirmed but the faceoff went to the other end as time was running out in the advantage lindros found galley with a pass across the goal mouth but puppa made the save the rebound kicked back to the right corner where recchi picked it up passed it out to eric crashing through the right circle and eric one timed past puppa at with the assist recchi moves past bobby clarke s season the second best one season total for a flyer at eric moves up to th all time in flyers rookie scoring with points mike eastwood took down al conroy at to give the flyers another chance on the power play not much pressure before garry galley ended the power play with a slash at not much happened on the on although the leafs had most of the possession the flyers smothered the leafs short power play tempers flared a little at bowen and pearson got roughing minors keith acton got a bloody face dave mcllwain then took a dive and got greg hawgood a hooking minor at to set up a on the replay showed that hawgood s stick stopped making contact with mcllwain long before he spun around and fell again the flyers smothered the leafs power play led by dimitri yushkevich bowen made a thundering hit when he came out of the box on pearson berehowski tried to perplex everybody with his sloooowball he had the puck at the point and just trickled a pass down the slot he made all the flyers look silly as nobody could get a stick on it and it got to gilmour at the side of the net but soderstrom stoned him the flyers picked things up offensively after the kill was over but didn t get anything home shots were flyers the flyers were content with the goal lead in the third period and they decided that if tommy wanted a shutout he was going to have to work for it a little the flyers got most of the scoring chances in the first or so minutes of the period but couldn t get past puppa then the leafs got tired of lindros making road kill out of them and tempers flared each for doug gilmour and lindros unsportsmanlike conduct and each for glenn anderson and mcgill roughing all at terry carkner then took a kneeing penalty at on gilmour again the flyers smothered the leafs power play at about the minute mark dave andreychuk got a shot away from his left circle that got through soderstrom the puck was rolling on it s side and as luck would have it it turned away from the net instead of turning towards it think of how a rolling quarter inevitably starts to lean one way or the other seconds later rod brind amour tripped up gilmour at to give the leafs another chance on the power play on the advantage after soderstrom stoned andreychuk while lying down andreychuk got the rebound through soderstrom but from behind the net and it went straight through and was swept away by one of his defensemen they kept the pressure on but soderstrom was equal and preserved the shutout recchi cross checked ken baumgartner to get tempers hot and start a brawl at no punches thrown recchi got the initial minor krushelnyski baumgartner and lindros each got roughing minors at rouse and beranek expressed their mutual dislike for each other and got each for slashing to set up another on mike eastwood shoved down ryan mcgill in the flyers zone as they were battling for the puck and while mcgill was down he ran his stick across mcgill s face the flyers were not happy with that at all al conroy paired up with berehowski and started throwing punches upward well al held his own much to the delight of the crowd each got a couple punches in before going down in a head and al got a standing o penalties eastwood cross check game clark carkner each berehowski and conroy each fighting at so a major penalty for the rest of the game for the flyers the had no interest in stting on the lead hawgood galley and brind amour played catch until hawgood found dineen all alone in the left circle he controlled the puck and blasted it past puppa at that was all the fireworks tommy soderstrom would not face another shot puppa did but kept the flyers off the board flyers shots were flyers in the rd probably the strongest game i ve seen from the flyers since the all star break shutout number for soderstrom all since tied for nd most in the nhl but he s played fewer games than belfour or the goalie i can t remember that he s tied with next up it s the winnipeg selannes tuesday night in winnipeg the flyers cannot be eliminated if they win but a loss coupled with an islander win that night in washington would be the official end flyers up to points on the season in games last year they had points in games under so they need at least points in their last games to improve on that only by percentage points under in is better than under in tragic number holds at points with games left the tragic number for th is points i watched the rangers blow a third period lead at home to lose before i finished this up why points instead of well the flyers will win the tie breaker if they catch them whereas the islanders win tie breakers against the flyers and so need only a tie the rangers could crumble down the stretch as they play the devils the pens twice the flyers and finish up with games against the caps so i guess th place could be the goal for the team to focus on flyers team record watch eric lindros goals

strange phenomens in nhl was team leaders in in article apr ramsey cs laurentian ca maynard ramsey cs laurentian ca roger maynard writes in apr ists ists ca dchhabra stpl ists ca deepak chhabra writes implicitly you are assuming that goals scored against winnipeg with selanne on the ice can be blamed on him roger he is a forward winnipeg has a lousy defensive record anyway let s put it another way john cullen s is terrible what s your excuse for him that his powerplay points don t count neither do selanne s are you comparing cullen to salami i would say that that is valid if winnipeg is such a lousy defensive team then why the hell does salami stand around the other team s blueline when the puck is in his own end i thought that he was comparing cullen to teemu sel nne i always thought that salami is some sort of sausage but if you dear roger are able to see salami on the ice playing hockey i don t know what to do but you surely should do something and very quickly maybe you think that if you keep on talking some rubbish after some time everybody will consider it to be really true you should take care of your leafs they surely need it more what he does best is score so i refer you to my comment above some of our finnish friends who have watched him play claim that he can play a solid two way game i would have to say that this style of contribution would be more conducive to winning or don t you think so at least we have seen him playing as it is now selanne is a grandstanding goal suck did you see the way he parades around with his arms outstretched after scoring a goal you would think the messiah had returned during the latest philly game the leaf players didn t parade philly crunched them maybe you need some more two way players who can score too cordially as always rm roger maynard maynard ramsey cs laurentian ca just cordially hannu go jets go teemu teppo tappara canadiens blackhawks

realignment in well here it is nhl in the year i got these from a very reliable source in a dream some years ago and although i initially thought i had just been taking too many too strong drugs now it seems the realization has really begun you can see the league has already started to move to this direction the walt disney conference anaheim mighty chipmunks franchise name to be changed after each new la kings hockey movie la flames we ve seen some of that san jose sharks san diego bruins tijuana red wings detroit s hockey team will follow its car industry dallas stars houston oilers texas rangers seattle canucks the norm green conference alabama white hawks biloxi blues tampa bay lightning miami blades helsinki jets you ve heard them starting getting used to the anthem montreal quebecois sp there will be no canada atlanta devils orlando penquins key west islanders hartford whalers the whalers will never move huh palm beach capitals now that the anahaim team is becomming real i m really beginning to believe the rest of the message i m sure the future will turn you into believers too after the nhl will abandond ice rinks it s so expensive to cool down the rinks in the subtropics and the locals hardly know what ice is anyway nhl will become a roller skating hockey league that way it can create more public interest in the game when local supporteres can play the game in their back yards i hope i m just out of my mind there won t really be a disney team in anaheim will there the stars aren t really moving

division by zero error in jack nickalus tournament golf i was playing this golf game and something interesting happened on the th hole i drove the ball down the fairway when the ball was in mid flight the game completely froze a couple seconds later the screen went completely black with an error message in large bubble letters that said division by zero i thought it was funny considering i am a computer programmer and i had never seen an error like this on an actual video game system like sega or nintendo or even atari or intellevision years ago oh yeah after the message there was also what must have been an address in hexadecimal i forget the exact hex code that was given has this happened to anyone else it must have my game shouldn t have been the only one to do this thanks randy psc r turgeo oz plymouth edu

observations on the lindros trade like ottawa would be stupid enough to get lindros why do you think quebec traded him lindros would go on personal strike again maybe i should talk to ottawa mgmt about arranging such a trade on that xenophobe thankfully nobody agreed with him publicly maybe we should look at baseball the supposed american pasttime sp look at all the damn latin americans playing there they should all be deported they aren t american add sarcasm to taste to roger wow for once we agree i hope this isn t a sign of things to come i ll become a ranting lunatic who talks about nothing but the leafs being the best in the campbell on the rangers i told someone that nothing that happened in the patrick would surprise me anymore i lied how the hell can a team go into washington earn a shutout then come back home and lose to pitiful hartford the absolute pinnacle of mediocrity i can t stand it from what i ve read the goalie is to blame this time as beezer played pretty poorly smith is talking about calling up corey hirsch from binghamton everybody is pointing fingers this is definitely not the same team which wanted to prove itself in washington now nothing that happens in the patrick will surprise me yeah right keith keller let s go rangers let s go quakers kkeller mail sas upenn edu ivy league champs next time you go over my head i ll have yours on a platter cmdr benjamin sisko

re sad day for hockey dvb ick writes foul any illegal contact with the other player or his stick with your body or stick if you get you are out for the game i ve never seen a game where one player has committed penalties something like this would require more attention by the referee unsportsmanlike contact an intentional foul this inlcludes all the current flavours of roughing fighting and boarding if you get two you are thrown out of the game and fined technical foul bad mouthing the ref by player or coach penalty shot is awarded two and you are thrown out of the game besides the penalty shot for one technical if the team gets penalties in a period the opposing team gets a penalty shot for every additional one until the end of the period the victim gets two shots if he she was in the act of shooting when the foul ocured this works well for several reasons first penalty shots are the most exciting thing in hockey right so it follows that the more the better next when the player is setting up for a penalty shot the network can take a commercial finally with only three penalties the network announcers don meredith dick vitale john madden pat summerall and marv levy among others will be able to tell the viewers what happened before the pa announcer says it but you re creating a scoring opportunity where there might not have been one before i can see the relationship between free throws awarded after a certain number of fouls but it s obviously easier to score in basketball there are more opportunities if a basketball team scores points that s at least fifty chances made the average number of shots taken by each team in a hockey game and this is a total guess is probably around and a team is lucky to capitalize on maybe of them you have some good ideas concerning the other penalties but i think that a player should be awarded a penalty shot only when they had a chance to score and was interfered with also later in the post you talked about how boring the nba game you attended was that play was stopped too often wouldn t your penalty shot rule take up more time during a hockey game matt att uva

re lemieux nhlpa and other thoughts i think that nhlpa is the best video game available now of course many things could be done better but i really appreciate that the names of players are the real ones no matter if it lacks some logos i am still playing it since november leading different teams to the finals and making scorers from the same team compete for the top scoring yesterday i won the title using toronto against hartford games to two i played the playoffs in a games fashion minutes for each period and the best scorer and shooter was gilmour shots if i remember well iskander ayari email iskander ayari loria fr ou ayari loria fr

re this year s biggest and worst opinion in article apr is morgan com scairns fsg com writes messier is a joke this year bad back not withstanding his play is the reason the rangers will be on the golf course in a couple of weeks gartner is my choice the guy works his butt off every game kovalev no surprise he s played adequately but as bad defensively kovalev is too talented a player to play for roger nielson roger needs players who can t think for themselves and can only skate in straight lines up and down the ice dudley and nielson are the only two coaches bad enough in the league to take talents like mogilny and kovalev and not know how to turn them into bure and selanne as was predicted in preseason perhaps he ll pull an alex mogilny in a couple of years and surprise us then zubov wasn t expected to make it out of the minors this season and owing to the number of injuries has proved to be a very pleasant surprise get muckler as coach and kovalev will look like mogilny the trouble with the rangers is that neil smith went out and got players like messier kovalev and graves who have been schooled in taking the game to their opponent and attacking while hiring coaches who are interested in rope a dope strategies if you want the roger nielsons of the world to be your coach you don t go out and get a mark messier who is an old dog who can t learn new tricks from a known loser and you don t waste your draft picks on players like kovalev gerald gerald

re this year s biggest and worst opinion bryan smale smale healthy uwaterloo ca writes i was thinking about who on each of the teams were the mvps biggest surprises and biggest disappointments this year team biggest biggest team mvp surprise disappointment hartford whalers sanderson cassells corriveau my votes fwiw team mvp pat verbeek he fans on of goal mouth feeds but he still has goals after a terrible start and has been an examplary sp team captain throughout a tough couple of seasons honorable mention nick kypreos and mark janssens probably more appropriate in the unsung heroes category than mvp but kypreos goals pim has been the hardest working player on the team and janssens is underrated as a defensive center and checker i guess i place a greater emphasis on hard work than skill when determining value biggest surprise geoff sanderson he had goals and points last season as a center then moved to left wing and has so far put up goals and points he now has a new whaler record power play goals most all coming from the right wing faceoff circle his garden spot honorable mention andrew cassels and terry yake the kiddie quartet of sanderson poulin nylander and petrovicky have been attracting the most attention but cassels is just and will score close to points this season he has quite nicely assumed the role of number one center on the team and works very well with sanderson yake bounced around the minors for a number of seasons but is still and will put up about goals and points this season yake like sanderson started performing better offensively once he was converted from center to wing although lefty sanderson went to the left wing and righty yake went to the right side biggest disappointment hands down john cullen cullen had a disasterous point season last year his first full season after the trade cullen started the season off of summer back surgery and fell flat on his face appropriate since he spent all of his whaler career flat on his ass and whining about it cullen scored just point on games was a clubhouse malcontent commanded the powerplay to a success percentage with sanderson and sulked his way out of town worst of all his year m contract had three years left to run so no one would give up any more than the nd round draft pick the maple leafs offered to hartford honorable mention steve konroyd also subpar after signing a year m contract eric weinrich who showed flashes of competence but overall has played poorly jim mckenzie who was a much better hockey player two seasons ago than he is now and frank pietrangelo who only seemed to play well when sean burke was out for an extended period and he got to make a number of starts in a row sg a real live hartford whalers season ticket holder steveg cadkey com

re too many europeans in nhl in article rauser sfu ca rauser fraser sfu ca richard john rauser writes here s the point there are far too many europeans in the nhl i am sick of watching a game between an american and a canadian team let s say the red wings and the canucks and seeing names like bure konstantinov and borshevshky is this north america or isn t it toronto detriot quebec and edmonton are particularly annoying but the numbers of euros on other teams is getting worse as well gee you d think winnipeg would be tops on that list what with regulars being european i live in vancouver and if i hear one more word about pavel bure the russian rocket i will completely throw up as it is now every time i see the canucks play i keep hoping someone will cross check bure into the plexiglassso hard they have to carry him out on a stretcher by the way i m not a canucks fan to begin with well being a jet fan i sometimes wish that bure would get knocked silly too nothing serious just enough to keep him out of a game okay the stretcher remark was a little carried away but the point is that i resent nhl owners drafting all these europeans instead of canadians and some americans it denies young canadians the opportunity to play in their north american league and instead gives it to europeans who aren t even better hockey players it s all hype this european mystique is sickening but until nhl owners get over it canadian and american players will continue to have to fight harder to get drafted into their own league in most cases the owners have very little to do with it they give their general managers one order when it comes to the draft find me the best players so that our team will win the stanley cup whether that player is in kindersley saskatchewan or chelyabinsk russia if the gm believes him to be the better player the gm should be drafting him where do you get off calling the nhl their league when referring to canadian players it doesn t belong to them it belongs to the owners the owners can do what they want while a canadian content rule might be enforcable here in canada there is enough doubt that it would be enforcable in the us that the cfl sorry for the football reference didn t even try to push their import ratio rule on the sacromento goldminers increasing the competition for the elite positions in most cases would make players better anyways oh yeah and how many europeans play at the lower levels of professional hockey in north america while there are some that play in the ahl or the ihl where that s an nhl team s primary farm club you don t hear of many europeans playing in the chl the echl or on the secondary farm teams in the ihl ie the jets do have a few russian players in moncton but i don t believe there are any europeans in ft wayne so with all those teams there are plenty of positions for hockey players in north america with the numbers of euros in the nhl escalating the problem is clearly only getting worse i m all for the creation of a european hockey league and let the bures and selannes of the world play on their own continent i just don t want them on mine i m in favour of the nhl being the league for the premier players in the world i ve grown up with europeans playing on my team and some of those players were the among the best in the world from hedberg nilsson and sjoberg to sel nne zhamnov and olausson and all those in between and to come i wouldn t have it any other way daryl turner r s h contact for the winnipeg jets internet umturne ccu umanitoba ca fidonet or please route through tkachuk over to zhamnov up to sel nne he shoots he scores the jets win the cup the jets win the cup essensa for vezina housley for norris sel nne for calder

re too many europeans in nhl somebody wrote i d love to see a european nhl division but can t see it happen for some time there s simply not enough fan interest at the moment in several crucial markets like germany italy and france while sweden and finland probably can t afford to shell out for tickets the way american canadian fans do call it the minnesota north stars effect scandinavians do love hockey but we prefer to watch local inexpensive hockey to the nhl the national hockey league should love the idea though pan european tv channels such as eurosport could bring in the millions the american networks likely never will pay this brings up a question i asked myself no answer when it was mentionned that the nhl could expand in europe would most of the north americans now playing in the nhl be willing to play for a team in europe i do not think that the majority of hockey players are necessarily interested in expanding their cultural experience to that level i know i would but i am not a pro hockey player when one recalls some players remarks in the last few years it makes me wonder how a european expansion could be achieved remember these lindros did not want to play in quebec for more than reasons nicholls in edmonton r courtnall wanted to be traded to la only c lemieux said he would refuse to go to edmonton earlier this year i know there are many non cultural reasons behind these but there is more some american players who played for the expos complained about the french fact and that the city was not quite like the other us cities one players wife trying to make her point went on to complain that she could not even find her favorite brand of nacho chips in montreal anybody knows what happened when all these us football players moved to london spain etc for the one year of that new football league years ago i wonder what the players association thinks about going to europe myself i would like to see some european teams but what would be the best way to do it marc

sad day for hockey ee i andrew cmu edu ethan z evans writes of course penalties will have to be changed roughing chauvanistic males being aggressive slashing chauvanistic males venting frustration fighting proof that males cannot cope with their feelings no no no since all the penalties fall into three classes there should only be three penalties foul any illegal contact with the other player or his stick with your body or stick if you get you are out for the game unsportsmanlike contact an intentional foul this inlcludes all the current flavours of roughing fighting and boarding if you get two you are thrown out of the game and fined technical foul bad mouthing the ref by player or coach penalty shot is awarded two and you are thrown out of the game besides the penalty shot for one technical if the team gets penalties in a period the opposing team gets a penalty shot for every additional one until the end of the period the victim gets two shots if he she was in the act of shooting when the foul ocured this works well for several reasons first penalty shots are the most exciting thing in hockey right so it follows that the more the better next when the player is setting up for a penalty shot the network can take a commercial finally with only three penalties the network announcers don meredith dick vitale john madden pat summerall and marv levy among others will be able to tell the viewers what happened before the pa announcer says it oh one other rule when a goal is scored times a period the play cannot resume until the pa announcer announces it this way the network can sneak in a few more commercials then once the pa announcer has told them who scored the tv announcer can tell you the viewer and even have a chance of pronouncing his name right seriously though i actually went to see a nba basketball game last week for the first time in my life i was amazed how boring it was the play is so slow they actually had fans come out for things like free throw shooting contests during the period of course the laker girls get to do their routines at least times during the game and not just between periods either there is a whistle every seconds on average maybe less the game is minutes with minutes between quarters and and a minute halftime and it still takes over hours the reason for this has to be tv there is plenty of room to throw in commercials and have the announcer jabber while nothing else is happening on tv basketball is fairly entertaining imho but it is better to watch it on tv than to be there if this is the road the nhl is following then it truly is a sad day enough for now dvb

barasso the cheap shot master after watching the pengiuns all year and as many other teams as possible i ve really noticed an increase in tom barasso s cheap shots this year and not noticed a corrsponding increase with other goaltenders i ve also noticed that he usually gets away with it just as examples last night i noticed him elbowing scott stevens in the head which basically started the whole shoving match that got stevens scott and tocchet minute minors he also kicked john mclean of course he wasn t called for that isn t kicking an automatic match penalty and game suspension i think glenn anderson got one a few years ago for kicking gaetan duchesne in the chest there s no doubt in my mind that barasso is the dirtiest golatender since hextall he s also very good how about that tocchet head butt is there an automatic susppension that goes along with a non kicking match penalty i can t remember anymore oh the playoffs should be fun ralph

re how to beat pittsburgh from anna matyas now if we could just clone chelios s personality and transplant it into all of the defensemen on the islanders capitals and devils gerald in other words you want to turn them all into assholes so they will spend lots of time in the penalty box and get lots of misconducts and this comes from a chelios fan yeah and also be second in the team in scoring and play about minutes a game and play on the power play and kill penalties and be the best defenseman in the league i d take a whole team of chelioses if i could that way when one got a penalty the others could kill it ralph

re bruins pens the ulf neeley fight mattb hawk samsung com matt brown writes more about the messier samuelsson incident while this is true strictly speaking it was the rocksteady replicant who initially used his stick illegally to measure messier s ribcage there is no question in my mind from seeing the replay in slo mo that ulf was coming at messier with intent to hasta la vista in mind and should have been gone for that i agree with rick that ulf s cross check wasn t illegal it was the kind of check you see a dozen times during a game without being called slo mos sometimes have a tendency to make things look worse than they really are besides if messier can t take the heat he should stay out of the kitchen so staffan how is mattias timmander doing this year and any impression on markus czeriew lost my roster list on hammerby does it look like they will make it to the eliteserien for next year and then get stomped if markus goes to boston well matt mattias timmander hasn t been playing with the modo elite league team yet just the modo junior team so i predict he needs a few more years here before he can join the b s i saw him play in the swedish championship game for junior players this year and he played very well a physical game but not the kind of rough stuff that ulfie does i suspect you would like to have a ulf type of player on the b s team too as for mariusz czerkawski he has had a great season for hammarby in division he scored if i remember correctly points this season and then we have to keep in mind that a point season in sweden is considered very good due to the limited number of games mariusz is djurgarden property he was just on loan to hammarby so he will play in elitserien next season unless the b s can get him of course i would say that mariusz has to be one of the most exciting player to watch in swedish hockey this season staffan staffan axelsson etxonss ufsa ericsson se r s h contact for swedish hockey

isles hockey ramblings well the patrick division got a little more interesting last night the islanders lost in ot and the devils tied the pens that means if the isles beat the devils on friday the will meet the caps in the playoffs however i have some more comments on the islanders and hockey in general that i need to get off my chest first of all with the islanders back to back lackluster performances against the whalers one may think that the islanders are out of shape these guys always suck wind in the nd period come on a little in the rd and run out of gas too soon it is unbelieveable how many one goal games these guys have lost anyway the games was pretty wide open the isles still have tons of trouble scoring the whalers played a golie in is st nhl start i think his name was lenarduzzi sp his nhl debut was the tuesday tie against the isles like i mentioned before this guy looked like the best golie on the planet for a while until he misplayed a mahlakov slap shot to go to ot i say it s because the isles don t shoot correctly has anyone else noticed this also i think it is really a shame for hockey when i guy like mick vukota gets as much ice time as he does this guy has about as much hockey talent as jiggs macdonald who did play hockey i think anytime he gets the puck it gets stolen and he always starts fights and gets needless penalties richard pilon is another guy who is on the ice to stir up crap and he s a defenseman he s got to be approaching negative infinity for his plus minus this guy gets beaten all the time why the need for such enforcers not only do fights slow the game down alot but it takes away from the guys who are really trying to play the game i ll be one of the few to admit i do enjoy a good fight once in a while but only when it s called for you know when a guy checks the goalie too hard in other words a violation of hockey ethics might cause you to get puched but there is no need to start crap when you are losing or becuase you can get away with it does anyone agree that referees need to be a little less lenient in the rd and ot i mean come on already i m sick of seeing teams pulling guys down holding guys etc just becuase the referee doesn t call it ot and late in the rd should be a time for strategy not physical prowess trying to set up a goal should be first and foremost if you are so afraid that the other team is going to score that you have to pull a guy down to prevent it you don t deserve to win in the first place just my honest opinion gary at hofstra accgsg vaxb hofstra edu accgsg hofstra bitnet

re pens info needed kevin l stamber writes if there s anyone who can help me on these items please let me know markus naslund i saw that modo lost early in the national tournament and that he was playing for the national team at the world championships any stats available any word on how he s playing when is he expected to join the club markus had a good season in modo in the swedish elite league scoring goals assists points and pim in games as daryl points out markus won t be joining the pens for this year s playoffs since the world championships starts april th but there is a good chance that markus will join the pens before next season modo though naturally wants to keep their superstars forsberg and naslund so the latest news on this is that modo is looking for personal sponsors for forsberg and naslund in order to match the kind of money they would receive in nhl daryl turner writes by the club i would assume you mean the pens don t hold your breath you aren t going to see naslund this year the world championship tournament doesn t start until april so nhl teams won t see any influx of europeans and no team playing in the wc will see a sudden influx of eliminated nhlers the earliest a player on a playoff bound team could join a wc team is the last game of the round robin and i doubt any coach is going to want to play short one player for that long actually swedish coach curt lundmark is thinking about leaving two spots open for additions from eliminated nhlers it is mats sundin and calle johansson that curt hopes can join the team although in a late stage of the tournament technically i seem to recall that you can leave spots open until hrs before the wc final staffan staffan axelsson etxonss ufsa ericsson se r s h contact for swedish hockey
