I'm the keeper of the stats for a family hockey pool and I'm looking
for daily/weekly email servers for playoff stats. I've connected with
the servers at J.Militzok@skidmore.EDU and wilson@cs.ucf.edu. I'm
still sorting these two out.
Are there others? Email please as my site doesn't get this group.
Thanks.

You're right ... I'm sick of seeing all those white guys on skates
myself ... the Vancouver Canucks should be half women, and overall
one-third Oriental.

Sell the bike and the car and start taking the bus. That way you can
keep drinking which seems to be where your priorities lay.
I expect that enough of us on this list have lost friends because of
driving drunks that our collective sympathy will be somewhat muted. | rec.motorcycles |
OK...
5) How about a fuel gauge that *really* told you how much fuel was
left. Like, "can I make it to where the gas is $1.14 or should
I get gouged right here at $1.35?" Accurate to the tenth of a
gallon would be great. | rec.autos |
so you want to decrease players' salaries?

There was apparently a 30 minute special here on the Penguins'
season on ABC (WTAE - channel 4), immediately preceding the opening
game against the Devils on Sunday. I only turned it on in time to
watch the credits. If anyone taped it and is willing to let me borrow
it to dub it, I would appreciate it. I would be willing to come pick
it up, and I'll return it the next day and buy you a beer. Please
respond via e-mail. Thanks a lot.
Oh yeah. Was it any good?

The Continental may have been the first "modern era" auto to mount the
spare on the rear of the car but it was hardly the first car to sport one.
Various mounting techniques for rear mounting the spare were quite common
in early automobiles, both US and Foreign. | rec.autos |
Actually, I could care less what his salary is. It has something to do
with the fact that we live in America, and everyone is entitled to
whatever he can legally obtain. If Sandy Alderson and the Haas family
willingly negotiate a salary of $35 million per year with Rickey, I couldn't
care less.
But what REALLY GETS MY GOAT is the bullshit he spouted in spring training,
about `Well... sometimes I may not play as hard, or might be hurt more
often, in a place where I'm not appreciated'. This quote was in the Chronicle
about the second week of camp, and strongly suggests that he was going to
dog it all year if the ownership didn't kiss his butt and ante up some
more money. For God's sake, Rickey, you signed a contract 4 years ago,
now honor it and play!
Say all you want to about Steve Garvey, and believe
me, I hated him too, but at least when he put his signature on a piece
of paper he shut his mouth and played hard until the contract was up. | rec.sport.baseball |
Dean, there's an old engineering saying concerning inventions and

According to _The Complete Guide To Specialty Cars_, 7th Edition, from
Crown Publishing, it's the VW Kubelwagen (w/ 2 dots over the 'u').
The company is:

0119 Oslo 1, Norway
011-47-30-26601 voice line
011-47-2-166138 FAX line
An excerpt from the blurb:
...This fine Kubel clone from Wolfkam is a very close copy of
the original, and offers the same all-weather and cross-country
capabilities as its WWII forebears. The robust fiberglass body
kit is very complete, and includes all the hardware you will
need, except for your own VW donor car. The phone number [...]
is the entire AT&T dialing sequence; call and ask for Karl
Torum, or send $5 cash or _International Money Order_
for a complete literature package.

P.S., I'd be happy to share what info I have on other kit cars and
kit car manufacturers. | rec.autos |

I'm totally p*-o'd, too! Vancouver-Winnipeg is great west-coast hockey -
fast-paced and loads of talent. What I've seen so far is hardly
entertaining, with the exception of the odd shift every now & then (of
course I missed Calgary-LA & Pitts-Jersey...)
Amen...
That's cheaper than what I do - PHONE CALLS. (There must be a better
system - one ring, Adams to Linden, he SCORES; two rings Bure rushes up
the ice, he SCORES, etc etc :-))

I've had, and still have a few aluminum sticks. I got my first when I was 15
(a Christian), and broke the shaft halfway through the season, two years
later. I bought another (a Canadian) at the beginning of the next season,
and I still have it. I also have an Easton, that a friend was getting rid
off, after giving up the game. I find that Easton blades are easier to get,
but all brands of blades are pretty well interchangeable. Watch out for
dried up bits of firewood, that some stores pass off as blades. In my
experiences, the blades of an aluminum break more often than regular sticks,
but I've only ever broken one aluminum shaft.
I like aluminum sticks. The blades are quickly changed, even on the bench
if you have to. On the downside, the shaft won't break if you decide to
impale yourself on it :-)

Here is a story. I bought a car about two weeks ago. I finally can
get hold of the previous owner of the car and got all maintanence
history of the car. In between '91 and '92, the instrument pannel
of the car has been replaced and the odometer also has been reset
to zero. Therefore, the true meter reading is the reading before
replacement plus current mileage. That shows 35000 mile difference
comparing to the mileage on the odometer disclosure from. The
dealer never told me anything about that important story.
I hope that I can return the car with full refund. Do u think this
is possible? Does anyone have similar experiences? Any comments
will be appreciated. Thanks. | rec.autos |

did you account for depreciation? i seriously doubt that a taurus

Your best bet is the Dodge Intrepid with the SOHC 24 valve 3.4? six.
it gets 214 hp, and has a hell of a lot of room, great styling, and
ABS, with four wheel disk breaks. The LH cars won Automobile
magazines
"automobile of the year" award, and are quiet impressive.

Major league baseball has told the Blue Jays and the Expos not to
sign Oscar Linares (I think that is his name)
...Canada does not have the restrictions against
Cubans that the US has and other major league teams have told the
Canadian teams that they would be very unhappy if the Expos or the
Blue Jays would do this. Cubans players would not have to defect
to play in Canada and could play the 81 home games for the Expos
and Blue Jays without any trouble. | rec.sport.hockey |
G'day people,
Are there any MR2 owners or motor-head gurus out there, that know why
my MR2's engine sounds noisy? The MR2's engine is noisy at the best of times,
but not even a nice nose - it's one of those very ugly noises.
I do an oil change every 2-3 months, and for about 2 months the engine
noise sounds relatively quiet during driving and idling. At around the 3 month
mark, after an oil change (I've been tracking this very thoroughly for months
now) it starts to get that very disgusting noise, not so much during driving,
but more so during idling.
What's its problem?
Also.. I don't know if it's just me, but if noticed a little
performance drop. It just hasn't got the acceleration it used to.
Any help/tips would be appreciated!!

I just mailed this:
I noticed a 2-3in long cut in the tread of the rear tire on my VFR.
The cut is only about as deep as the tread block, and looks like it
only scratched the rubber at the base, but the weird thing is, it's
way over on the edge where I haven't scuffed the tire in yet.
My questions are:
1. How dangerous is this, should I replace the tire right away?
and
2. If I should, since the cut is on the unscuffed portion and the
tire only has about 330 mi on it, what do you think my chances of
getting it replaced under warranty are?
To the nedod mailing list, and Jack Tavares suggested I check out
how old the tire is as one tactic for getting it replaced. Does
anyone have the file on how to read the date codes handy?
Thanks,
Dean

something near the suburbs, people do at least glance over. Remember, an
alarm is only a deterent, not a prevention. If a thief sees two cars he
"likes", one has an alarm and the other doesn't, he's obviously going to skip
the alarmed car and avoid the hassle. There is a way around every alarm, but
at least you've got SOMETHING on your side.....

For an all out sports car, I'd go for the RX-7 without the sports
suspension (which is too stiff.) For a little more practicality and more
comfort, the Nissan 300ZX Turbo is a good buy. And for a good dose of
luxury, the Lexus SC300 is perfect (with a manual transmission of course.)
However, the Toyota Supra is coming out soon and if you like it's looks,
the performance is supposed to be great, almost race car like. I don't
particulary like the Mitsubishi 3000GT's or the Dodge Stealths as they are
too heavy and aren't very nimble handlers for a sports car.

=== Welcome to Rec.Autos.* ===
This article is sent out automatically each month, and contains a general
description of the purpose of each of the automotive newsgroups, and
some suggested guidelines for discussions. The keywords `Monthly Posting'
will always appear to make killing this article easy for users of
newsreaders with kill facilities. This article is posted to all autos
groups, but followups are directed only to rec.autos. If you don't
understand what this means, ask your system administrator for help, or at
least for copies of the newuser documentation. Failing that, please
subscribe to the newsgroup news.announce.newusers and read the
documentation provided there.
Introduction to the Rec.Autos newsgroup hierarchy:
rec.autos.tech
is intended for technical discussions of automobiles, their design,
construction, diagnosis, and service. Other discussions are largely
inappropriate, especially For Sale ads.
rec.autos.sport
is intended for discussion of legal, organized competition involving
automobiles. Technical discussions are appropriate insofar as they apply
to competition vehicles. Discussion from either of two viewpoints,
spectator and participant, is encouraged. Arguments about sports cars are
largely inappropriate, as are most other discussions. For Sale ads are
inappropriate unless they are for competition vehicles and/or equipment.
Discussions of illegal events are marginal; one should probably avoid
advocating breaking the law. (remember, the FBI reads Usenet!)
rec.autos.driving
is intended for discussions related to the driving of automobiles.
Also, if you must discuss 55 vs. 65, or radar detectors, or <insert
your pet driving peeve> boneheads, do it here.
rec.autos.vw
is intended for discussion of issues related to the use and ownership
of automobiles manufactured by Volkswagen (this includes VWs, Audis,
Seats, etc.) It was created on the grounds that the info-vw mailing
list was very successful. It should not be presumed from the existence
of this group that it is appropriate to create many groups to cover many
different marques; groups specific to individual marques should only be
created on demonstration of sufficient interest, via some avenue such as
a mailing list.
rec.audio.car
is not properly part of the rec.autos.* hierarchy. it is, however,
the correct place for discussion of automotive audio equipment, and
so is mentioned here.
rec.autos.antique
is intended for the discussion of older cars (usually more than 25 years
old, although this is not a hard-and-fast rule.)
alt.hotrod
is not part of the hierarchy, but also of potential interest to the
rec.autos reader. it is gatewayed to the moderated hotrod mailing
list, and is for serious discussion of modifying and developing
performance vehicles.
alt.autos.rod-n-custom
also not part of the `official' hierarchy; devoted to that peculiar
American hobby of customizing older cars.
alt.autos.karting
for the discussion of the popular motorsport and hobby, karting.
rec.autos
is intended to capture discussion on all other automotive topics.
Crossposting:
Crossposting occurs when more than one newsgroup name is included on
the Newsgroups: line in the article header; such articles will appear
in all of the newsgroups listed.
Crossposting is one of the most misunderstood and misused facilities on
Usenet. You should only post to a group because you feel an article is
appropriate; you should NEVER crosspost just to reach a particular
audience. This distinction is subtle, but important. Radar Detector
articles, for example, are more-or-less appropriate in rec.autos. They are
almost never appropriate in sci.electronics or rec.ham-radio, and the fact
that you might want to reach the audience in sci.electronics or
rec.ham-radio is NOT adequate justification for posting to either group.
Crossposting between any or all of the rec.autos.* groups is usually
inappropriate; if you find yourself doing so, consider whether or not it is
truly advisable, before sending your article. Consider setting Followup-To:
to point to only one newsgroup if you feel you must crosspost.
Crossposting between rec.autos.* and misc.consumers is chancy at best; in
particular flame wars over the speed limit in the US and/or the use of
radar detectors should NEVER be crossposted between any of these groups.
Most readers of sci.electronics and rec.radio.* couldn't care less about
the police radar and radar detector arguments that go on endlessly in
rec.autos.
It is an excellent idea to check the Newsgroups: and Followup-to: lines of
articles before posting a followup. In particular, be wary of posting to
misc.test, rec.arts.startrek.*, or talk.bizarre, or any combination of these
three. The life you save may be your own.
Distribution:
There is a field in the header of any news article which allows you to
(partially) control where the article goes; it is called the Distribution
field. It may be very useful for many reasons; it should also serve
as a reminder that news is a very large and widespread system.
The distribution of rec.autos.* is fairly extensive. As of this writing,
the Automotive newsgroups are known to reach most of Europe, Australia,
New Zealand, and some locations in Japan. With this in mind, I offer the
following hints about use of the Distribution: field in your article
headers, and on article content.
1) Please take care not to send for-sale ads about clapped out Ford
Mavericks in New Jersey to France or California; i doubt that anyone in
either place will care, except for my girlfriend, who for some strange
reason likes Mavericks (but only 4-door Mavericks, at that.)
2) When posting technical questions, please include the market for which
your car was manufactured. For example, there are a number of differences
between a European-market Ford Escort and a US-market Escort. Likewise,
all 1750cc and early 2000cc Alfa Romeos reached the US with Spica Fuel
injection; European market cars usually got carbs (often Webers). These
differences can be important to your readers; make your situation clear.
Failure to do so can lead to pointless flame wars and a significant
spread of misinformation.
3) Be careful about your capacities and specifications when posting;
in the US we get a mix of Metric and English system values, whereas
Europe is almost entirely on the Metric system. A future edition
of this monthly posting will contain a list of commonly-used
abbreviations that may not be known in some places that rec.autos
reaches; this cuts both ways so let us not be parochial about it.
4) Use the Distribution: field to limit where your article goes, when
possible. Within North America, the values na (north america), can
(canada), and usa may be used. in addition, the two-letter state
abbreviations of the US are supported in some cases; e.g. if i wanted
to send an article only to New York and New Jersey, i could put
"ny,nj" in a Distribution field. note that multiple, comma-separated
values are legal. these distribution fields vary widely, however, so
you should check with your local sysadmin to find out what is likely
to be supported in your area.
The Dangers of Overgeneralization:
To amplify a warning from the distribution section of this article:
Be wary of making foolish assumptions about all cars, tires, etc. What is
true for a 1973 Buick with a 455cid engine may be quite utterly wrong for a
1976 Honda with a 1200cc engine. Headlight laws in Sweden are decidedly
different from those in Idaho.
The Need for Adequate Specification:
When you ask a question, please give a reasonable amount of information;
e.g., if you have a question about your Honda, please specify year,
model, engine size, etc. Otherwise, most answers to your question may be
quite useless.
Concerning Lemons:
At one time or another, every auto manufacturer has manufactured a lemon or
two; even Honda admits to this. Please don't waste everyone's time by
announcing to the world that your `brand x' automobile is terrible, so all
`brand x' automobiles are terrible, so no one should ever buy a car from
the `brand x' company. Such articles are worse than useless, because they
cause substantial wasted bandwidth while carrying little or no useful
information.
Concerning Flames:
As much as we might wish it, a flame-free newsgroup is something that most
likely will never occur. Here are some guidelines for flames and how
to deal with them (a list of flame-prone topics follows in the next section
of this posting):
If you post something truly obnoxious and inflammatory, don't imagine for a
minute that including the words `No Flames' will work. It won't, and
you'll get exactly what you deserve.
If you're going to flame, you're more likely to get away with it if you can
cite a fact or maybe a well-known reference. No one is likely to believe
bald, unsupported assertions.
Be careful about who you choose to insult. Consider not insulting anyone.
Asking the Question:
It is a bad idea to post a question and end it with a phrase like `Please
send email, I don't read this group'. It is a much better idea to
end the question with `Please send email, if there is sufficient interest
I'll summarize the results in a later posting. I may miss posted responses
to this request'.
Answering the Question:
If someone wants to hop up their Yugo, don't tell them to get a Mustang.
Either be silent, or give them useful advice. If someone wants advice on
defending a speeding ticket, don't tell them to obey the law next time --
it's offensive, presumes guilt which is not proven, and doesn't directly
address the original question. In general, don't post in order to see
your words in print, and don't post in order to enjoy feeling smug and
self-righteous.
Stale and/or Inflammatory Topics:
Certain topics are considered stale by `old timers'; while discussion of
them is certainly ok, and new, factual information is welcome, ravings
about them are extremely tiresome, and may get the person who posts them
ignored altogether. Some topics are naturally inflammatory; it is
difficult if not impossible to have meaningful discussion of them. Some
of these topics include the following:
1) the 55mph speed limit in the US: Pro and Con
2) discussions about the morality and legality of the sale and usage of
radar detectors.
3) discussions over which radar detector is best.
4) discussions over what is a sports car (this is one reason why
rec.autos.sport is not a `sports car' group -- everyone would argue
about what constitutes a `sports car'.)
5) disputes over whether or not US Federal law protects the driver's
right to own and operate a radar detector
6) `Buy American' discussions
7) `clever' bumper stickers and personalized license plates
8) <insert nationality here> cars are terrible
9) What kind of car did Maxwell Smart drive?
[when I have a complete, accurate answer it will be added to the
commonly-asked questions article which is also posted monthly.
Until then, please don't waste bandwidth on this topic. -- rpw]

There is a picture in the May 1993 edition of European Car (although,
it may not be on the shelf yet).
- prototype has front wheel drive (first front drive
for Mercedes since the beginning of WWII)
- wheelbase 3.15m
- 7 seater
- they claim that the price will be about the same as a
Renault Espace or Chrysler Voyager (DM 50,000)
Looking at the picture (slightly disguised) it looks like the Ford
Aerostar, to me.

The fact that I need to explain it to you indicates
that you probably wouldn't understand anyway! | rec.autos |
Whatever you say. I think it's just 12 games into the season myself, so
I'm going to wait a bit before calling names.
I expect that Dave Otto will be a really bad pitcher, and I have no
idea why Simmons ever wanted him. On the other hand, I expect him to
release Otto if he doesn't turn things around pretty fast. (BTW,
Otto's game score for that 0 IP stinker was only 22, which points out
a problem with the method since Otto's performance was infinitely bad,
and excruciatingly prolonged.)
I think Merced's rookie year was a bit flukey, but aren't you willing to
give him some more at bats (and Tomlin a few more starts) before acting
so gloomy?
No he didn't. Walk is a time bomb. He has no stuff whatsoever, and when
the league finally realizes this, it won't be pretty at all.
Don't be so fast. Doughty is the guy who signed Steve Buechele, which
was a move that threatened to bury Kevin Young in the minors.
Meanwhile, I'm not sure whether Doughty or Simmons signed Martin as a
six-year free agent before the 1992 season.
Twice through the rotation, and you've given up? Yikes.
But so has his age, at least in baseball terms. The useful half-life
of a 34- year-old injury-prone catcher can't be much longer than a year.
But he wanted to be a Dodger, and felt he had something to prove after his
disastrous 1992. I don't think there was any chance for the Bucs to sign
him.
He certainly wasn't last year.
Hey, that's the "Skates Smith" package deal. Anybody who acquires
Lonnie for his defense or base-running (particularly at this stage) is
a real weirdo.
If that's the goal of the team ownership, than I don't see why Sauer
gets a zero for making his boss happy. I don't know what he has or
hasn't said about revenue sharing, so I can't comment there.
It's annoying, but since Leyland seems to have been pushing for them
to retain Jeff King, it was probably unavoidable. Meanwhile, I think
bigger accomplishments of Simmons' tenure were getting some value for
John Smiley, not trading real prospects for veterans down the stretch
last year, drafting well in 1992, letting the rookies show something
in 1993. Foley, Smith, and Candelaria were acquired to be replacement
parts, which means that even if fail it hasn't done serious damage to
the Bucs' future.
Does this mean that the Bucs lost the initial arbitration case? I
never heard the outcome of this. When will the final verdict be in on
this?
I'm not sure who was the idiot in this case, so I don't know who to
blame. It might have been Doug Danforth, after all. In fact, I
*seriously* suspect it was Doug Danforth, who has shown his
willingness to call the shots at exactly those moments when the gun is
pointed at his feet.
(btw--I've wondered whether my latest posts have been getting
off-site, so if somebody known to impersonate e.e. cummings can see
this, would he drop me a short note?) | rec.sport.baseball |
Except for the fact that there seems to be a lot of high scoring AL
games also and I don't think the expansion teams directly affect them.

As I recall, the Penguins and Devils tied for third place last year
with identical records, as well. Poor Devils -- they always get screwed.
Yet, they should put a scare into Pittsburgh. They always do! Pens in 7. | rec.sport.hockey |
Gretzky, Lemieux, Gilmour etc do not play the role of checking centreman.
They play an offensive role as opposed to a defensive one. If they
were used as defensive centres it would be a waste of their offensive
abilities.
When you compare Gretzky et al to Jarvis, Gainey etc you are comparing
apples and oranges. It is like me telling you that Felix Potvin isn't
very good because a team would be better if the had Lemieux instead of
him. Sure Lemieux is a better player, but he is a different type of
player. For a team to be successful, they need to have all types of
players- this includes defensive forwards.
When compared with other defensive forwards, Bob Gainey is the greatest
defensive forward ever. He is the player who's talents best suited being
a defensive forward- who completely dominated the game when he played.
Maybe if a more talented player such as Gretzky had decided to waste his
offensive talents and play defensively, he could have been a better
defensive forward, but he wasn't.
Bob Gainey is the best defensive forward that has ever played hockey. | rec.sport.hockey |
I remember a commercial for some cheap, top-

Why not? Horner played 130 games in 1985 and hit 27 HR.
Murphy played 162 and hit 37.
In 1986 Horner hit 27 in 141 games and Murphy hit 29 in 160 games.
(and the Braves lost 96 and 89 games). | rec.sport.baseball |
Now the bike is off warranty, I finally replaced the stock items on my
Softail Custom with the title ones. Installation was pretty easy in
both cases, even for a fairly non-mechanical chemist type dude like me!
I discovered the limitations of my tool collection, but had fun buying
and making the requisite tools!
MC Ignitions Power Arc II Single Fire Ignition: easy to install, but
read the wiring diagram carefully! Setting the static timing was a
piece of cake. Once installed, I have found easier starting, smoother
idle, and more power, plus a more satisfying (to me) bass note in the
exhaust register...a lovely whompa-whompa-whompa idle :-)
The folks at MC Ignitions were great in answering my dumb questions on
the phone..... a very helpful bunch of guys with a great product.
S&S Super E Carb: installation easy, once I hacked down an Allen wrench
to a small anough reach to get at the intake manifold bolts. Tunes like
a dream, just like they say! The stock carb (non-adjustable) was so
lean that it was gasping and spluttering for gas sometimes, and even
backfiring into the intake manifold. The Super E is terrific, no
hesitation in any gear, and my plugs are a lovely tan color with no
need to rejet from the factory settings!
I know this may not seem like much to you grizzled veteran wrenchers
out there, but I had my bike in so many pieces this weekend I began to
get worried. But it all went back together again, and runs like a
dream, so I am feeling pretty happy.
Now all I have to do is install my BUB pipes and try to pass the NH

This game would have been great as part of a double-header on ABC or
ESPN; the league would have been able to push back-to-back wins by
Le Magnifique and The Great One. Unfortunately, the only network
that would have done that was SCA, seen in few areas and hard to
justify as a pay channel. )-;

Well, I have compiled some statistics on the entries of my pool. There
are unofficially 52 entrants. Here are the stats on what teams were
picked to win it all:
Pittsburgh: 34 (1 sweep, 14 in 5, 15 in 6, 4 in 7)
Boston: 6 (1 in 5, 5 in 6)
Detroit: 4 (3 in 6, 1 in 7)
Montreal: 2 (1 in 5, 1 in 7)
Toronto: 2 (1 in 6, 1 in 7)
(no, this wasn't Roger)
Calgary: 1 (in 6)
Quebec: 1 (in 6)
Vancouver: 1 (in 7)
Washington: 1 (in 6)
Why the hell hasn't anybody picked Chicago??? NOBODY! Quebec got a pick,
Detroit got 4, but absolutely no Chicago! How odd.
Here are the "losers":
Detroit: 20
Chicago: 16 (so there they are!)
Pittsburgh: 6
Vancouver: 4
Boston: 2
Calgary: 2
Los Angeles: 1 what?!?
Toronto: 1
LOS ANGELES??????? Are you out of your mind?!?!? Good luck to you,
you'll need it!
So Pittsburgh is the consensus winner of the Stanley Cup. They'll
statistically beat Detroit in 6 games. HAHA that's happening! NOT! As
I said, every one of my picks will come true, and I picked Chicago to lose
to Pittsburgh in the finals, so tough luck to all you who picket Detroit.
Well, tough luck to all of ya! I am a genius!!! ;-)

There's plenty of legroom on the Kawasaki KLR650. A bit

Just a few lines about my favorite team sweeping the Dodgers (one of
my least favorite) in LA (Sweet!). Also the Mets (my other least
favorite team) loss to the Rockies made this this a great day and a
great start to the weekend as the Cardinals are on the ESPN tonight.
Big Lee Smith is having a great start and the Cardinals seem to be
hitting in the clutch even though they have had a few games with lots
of hits and not many runs. Hopefully with the coaches stress on
situational hitting in spring training, the runners LOB will be lower
this year (probably due to the high strikeout numbers by Jose and
Lankford and Zeile's off year).
I don't know why all the fuss about the Fillies. The media and all the
Filly fans on r.s.b forget who is right behind them in the standings.
Give the Wild Thing a week or two before he starts blowing some games
and we'll see who is in first then. I believe the Cardinal pitching
staff is more complete than the Filly staff and that will make the
difference.
On a side note, a few years ago (5-6), a comment was made by some
baseball player or manager about the Dodger defense. He was asked
where to hit the ball against the Dodgers and he replied "Fair." I
remember it being in the "They Said It" section of Sports Illustrated.
I would like to know who said it and what issue it was in.

OK -- so we've got a hotly contested BMWOA election and some inept
leadership.
My question is the history of the BMW organization that lead to the
formation of the BMWRA. Was there something going on in the OA years
ago that precipitated the formation of two competing owner's groups?
Just to stave off flames: I'm a (relatively new) member of both groups
and besides a difference in the slickness of the magazines, it seems
the major difference is that the RA guys seem to have more fun. . .

Greetings netters,
Steve writes ... <about Cobra Locks>
Well I have the mother of all locks. On Friday the 16th of April I took
possesion of a 12' Cobra Links lock, 1" diameter. This was a special order.
I weighs a lot. I had to carry it home and it was digging into my shoulder
after about two blocks.
I have currently a Kryptonite Rock Lock through the front wheel, a HD
padlock for the steering lock, a Master padlock to lock the cover to two
front spokes, and the Cobra Links through the rear swing arm and around a
post in an underground parking garage.
Next Friday the 30th I have an appointment to have an alarm installed on
me bike.
When I travel the Cobra Links and the cover and padlock stay at home.
By the way. I also removed the plastic mesh that is on the Cobra Links
and encased the lock from end to end using bicycle inner tubes (two of
them) I got the from bicycle dealer that sold me the Cobra Links. The
guys were really great and didn't mark up the price of the lock much
and the inner tubes were free.
Later.

Ruotsaleinen was a more than competent NHL'er...his choice of where
to play when did not bear on his hockey playing ability.
He was crucial to the Oilers Stanley Cup victory in 1990, the one
without Gretzky, because he made an Oiler power play which was
lethargic that year until he arrived slide into overdrive. The
Oilers missed him more the following year than Kurri, and I think
the Oilers would have make the finals if Ruotsaleinen has stayed
around the following season, and would have beaten Pittsburgh
with Ruotsaleinen and a healthy Messier...and delayed Pittsburgh's
dynasty by a season. | rec.sport.hockey |
Here is yet another prediction for them great playoffs!
(you may laugh at your convenience!) :)
Adams Division (I hate the NE (name) divisoin!!!)
BOS vs BUF BOS in 5 (the B's are hot lately!)
MON vs QUE MON in 7 (This will be the series to watch in the first round!)
BOS vs MON MON in 7 (this may be a bit biased but I feel the Canadiens will
(smarten up and start playing they played two months ago
( i.e. bench Savard !!!)
Patrick Division
PIT vs NJD PIT in 6 (It wont be a complete cake walk... there be a few lumps
(in the cake batter!)
WAS vs NYI WAS in 6 (This will not be an exciting series..IMO)
PITT vs WAS PIT in 4 (Washington will be tired after the NYI)
Norris Division
CHI vs StL CHI in 5 (StL will get a lucky game in)
TOR vs DET TOR in 7 (THis , like MON vs QUE, will be another intense
(series to watch!)
CHI vs TOR TOR in 7 (Potvin will be settling in nicely by this point.)
Smythe Division
VAN vs WIN VAN in 5 (Teemu is great, but Vancouver better as a team!)
CAL vs LAK CAL in 6 (Gretzky is great, but Calgary has been on fire lately)
...sorry for the pun... um, no I am not! :)
VAN vs CAL VAN in 6 (This will be a great series! but VAN has proven they
(Will not lie down and get beat!)
Wales Conference finals
Pittsburgh vs Montreal Montreal in 6 (Montreal IMHO is the only team
(that has a chance against
Pittsburgh.)
Campbell Conference finals
Vancouver vs Toronto Toronto in 6 (Potvin will be series MVP)
STANLEY CUP FINALS
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens
(The Classic Stanley Cup Final matchup!!) <---also a dream come true!
Montreal wins the Stanley cup in the 7th game 1 - 0 in double overtime.
Roy and Potvin are spectacular throughout the series and share series MVP (if
that is possible) Vincent Damphouse nets game winner from a brilliant pass by
Brian Bellows! Canadiens star(?) Denis Savard watched his buddies play from the
owners box nursing that splinter on his thumb which has left him on the
disabled list since the first game of the playoffs (awww shucks).

Labour prices for car service are very expensive in Toronto compared to other
parts of Ontario. For example, there are places in Ottawa that still charge
"only" $40/hour. I've seen a couple of places charging $60/hour. The cheapest
I've heard in Toronto is $70/hour.

Hell, just save your candle stubs and bring them. Light them up, and
dribble the wax all over the kindling wood and light _that_. Although
I like the belly-button lint / eggshell case idea the best, if you're
feeling particularly industrious some eventful evening. Or you can
do what I did one soggy summer: open the fuel line, drain some onto a
piece of rough or rotten wood, stick that into the middle of the soon-to-
be inferno and CAREFULLY strike a match... As Kurt Vonnegut titled one
of the latter chapters in Cat's Cradle, "Ah-Whoom!"
Works like a charm every time :-)

Same thing to me. Everyday the same dog would chase my bicycle.
The owners thought it was cute. Even after I got the moto,
the stupid dog would do the same thing. Then one day, I was
coming home in the opposite lane...the fluff with teeth ran to
get me and played momentum sharing with a 73 Dodge pick.
The owners tried to blame me for driving down street when I did.

I was wondering if anyone out there could enlighten me on this car I saw
the other day. It was a 2-door sports car, looked to be from the late 60s/
early 70s. It was called a Bricklin. The doors were really small. In addition,
the front bumper was separate from the rest of the body. This is
all I know. If anyone can tellme a model name, engine specs, years
of production, where this car is made, history, or whatever info you
have on this funky looking car, please e-mail. | rec.autos |
I suppose a foul ball machine (like Brett Butler) is pretty valuable,
but I'd rather watch (and root for) the lower OBP guys who can
actually hit the ball.
And I'd rather watch (and root for) a team that scores lots of runs
and wins games.
Of course, I'm rooting for the Rockies and Andres anyway. But that's

What a great day! Got back home last night from some fantastic skiing
in Colorado, and put the battery back in the FXSTC. Cleaned the plugs,
opened up the petcock, waited a minute, hit the starter, and bingo it
started up like a charm! Spent a restless night anticipating the first
ride du saison, and off I went this morning to get my state inspection
done. Now my bike is stock (so far) except for HD slash-cut pipes, and
all went well with my New Hampshire State Inspection (meaning all my
lights worked OK) until the dude produces a decibel meter and tells me
about the new NH law about MC noise.....huh? sez I....and he has me
start her up and rev to about 3000 rpm....I FAIL cuz I register 120 DB,
and the max allowed is 110! If I fail with these pipes, there are gonna
be a whole lotta seriously pissed off bikers round here when they go
for inspection.

that was my imagination.......*sigh*

The fact that I need to explain it to you indicates
that you probably wouldn't understand anyway! | rec.autos |
(note: this is not about the L.A. or NY Times)
A few times a year, a funny thing happens: the bike engine runs
perfectly. Completely smooth. Not that it runs poorly normally, but
on these days, it is exceptional. My theory is that the air density
and moisture content of the air are such that I get complete
combustion. Needless to say, it puts me in a great mood.
The mood lasted for about 20 miles. Heading north on the 405
freeway, about a mile or two south of the 10, my throttle stopped
responding.... and I was between lanes. Nothing to do but make
my way over 4 lanes to the shoulder... initially by gliding, then
by pushing. At least traffic was heavy enough so that cars did
not mind stopping for me.
Turned out to be a screw unscrewed inside my Mikuni HS40
carb. I keep hearing that one should keep all of the screws
tight on a bike, but I never thought that I had to do that
on the screws inside of a carb. At least it was roadside
fixable and I was on my way in hardly any time.

What used to peeve me in Canada was the cars with bloody _red_ rear
indicators. You'd see a single red light come on and think, "Now, is he
stopping but one brake-lamp is not working, or does he have those dumb bloody
_red_ rear indicators?" This being Survival 101, you have to assume he's
braking and take the appropriate actions, until such time as the light goes
out and on again, after which you can be reasonably certain it's a bloody _red_
rear indicator. | rec.motorcycles |
About 25 is correct for Numminen and Lumme.
No, Kurri's points are too low. 27 for Kurri and 28 for Sel{nne.
That's true. Game is so different here in Europe compared to NHL. North-ame-
ricans are better in small rinks and europeans in large rinks. An average
european player from Sweden, Finland, Russian or Tsech/Slovakia is a better
skater and puckhandler than his NHL colleague. Especially defenders in NHL
are mainly slow and clumsy. Sel{nne has also said that in the Finnish Sm-league
game is more based on skill than in NHL. In Finland he couldn't get so many
breakaways because defenders here are an average much better skaters than in
NHL. Also Alpo Suhonen said that in NHL Sel{nne's speed accentuates because
of clumsy defensemen.
I have to admit that the best players come from Canada, but those regulars
aren't as skilful as regulars in the best european leagues. Also top europeans
are in the same level as the best north-americans.(except Lemieux is in the
class of his own). | rec.sport.hockey |

After reading some of the reports of possible NHL moves to Milwaukee or that
Milwaukee should have an NHL team, I thought I'd pass along a story I heard
recently. This is second hand, so I don't know how true it is, but I have
no reason to doubt it either.
Bradley Center in Milwaukee is home to the Milwaukee Admirals minor leauge
hockey team. The owner of the Admirals (sorry, I can't remember his name)
either owns or at least shelled out the majority of the funds to build the
Bradley Center.
Supposedly he was approached by the NHL about an expansion franchise, but
turned it down because he thought the franchise fee of $50 million was too
high.
Like I said, I don't know whether this story is true or just a rumor, but if
it's true, don't look for an NHL team in Milwaukee anytime soon. The Admirals
aren't going to be forced out of the building and you won't see an NHL club
and a minor league club in the same building, especially since the NBA's
Milwaukee Bucks play there as well. | rec.sport.hockey |

As I promised, I would give you the name of the Panther's president.
After Huizenga announced the team name, he announced that Bill
Torrey is named the first president of the Panthers.
A little Bio from _Sun-Sentinel_
Torrey, the architect of four consecutive Stanley Cup champions as
persident and general manager of the New York Islanders.
Throughout his 27 years in the NHL, Bill Torrey's bow ties have become
as much of a signature as Andre Agassi's hair.
The Panthers will introduce a uniform, insignia, and ticket-price
information in early next month. In the meantime, Huizenga leaves the
day-to-day operation in the hands of Torrey and Bob Clarke, the VP and
GM.
The Florida Panthers was chosen as the name of South Florida's NHL team
to focus attention on an endangered species. There are 30 to 50 Florida
Panthers in the Everglades National Park, the Big Cypress National
Preserve and other parts of southwestern Florida.
"The Panther is the quickest-striking of all cats," Torrey said.
"Hopefully that's the way we'll play on ice."
More BIO:
In Torrey, Huizenga has the first man hired by the expansion Islanders
in 1972 and the one most responsible for guiding the Islanders to four
consecutive Stanley Cup championships (their first after only eight
seasons) and 14 consecutive winning seasons. As executive vice president
of the California Golden Seals, Torrey watched the Seals go to the play-
offs in 1968, only their second NHL season.
"I guess this completes my own personal hat trick", said Torrey, 58, a
native of Montreal but a resident of Bear Lakes Country Club in Palm
Beach.

is updated each month and only information currently under discussion or
of continuing importance or interest will be listed for more than two
postings.
Boston Bruins
Boston legislators and the developers proposing a new Boston Garden
finally agreed to a deal that puts the 19,000-seat, $160 million project
back on track to be finished in September 1995.
Right wing Daniel Marois will be sidelined indefinitely following
surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back.

Acquired left winger Bob Errey from Pittsburgh for defenseman Mike
Ramsey.

Veteran Buffalo Sabres broadcaster Ted Darling will be inducted into the

American Hockey League.
Calgary Flames
Acquired veteran right wing Greg Paslawski from Philadelphia for future
considerations.
**
Recalled center Todd Harkins and left winger Tomas Forslund from Salt
Lake City of International Hockey League.

The $175 million, privately financed United Center, scheduled to
open in August 1994, will be home to the NBA's Chicago Bulls and NHL's
Chicago Blackhawks. The stadium is owned by entities controlled by the two
teams. The owners apparently still have not made a decision on whether the
old Chicago Stadium will be razed for parking space once the new facility,
located directly across the street, opens.
Suspended defenseman Craig Muni indefinitely for failing to report
following a trade with Edmonton.
Detroit Red Wings
Acquired defenseman Steve Konroyd from Hartford for a sixth-round draft

Annnounced the signing of right wing Joe Frederick, their 13th pick in
the 1989 National Hockey League entry draft.

of the Michigan Hall of Fame.
Edmonton Oilers
Sent forward Esa Tikkanen to the New York Rangers for center Doug
Weight.
Traded defenseman Craig Muni to Chicago for forward Mike Hudson.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said the Edmonton Oilers' lease with
Northlands Coliseum must be improved if the team is to survive in the
city. Edmonton Northlands is a non-profit agency set up by the city to
administer exhibition facilities including the Coliseum. Oilers owner
Peter Pocklington calls his lease with Northlands horrendous and has
threatened to move the team if he doesn't get a better deal. He makes no
money from parking, concessions or building advertising. The 17,313-seat
Coliseum also has few of the lucrative private boxes that produce
significant revenues for other owners.
Announced center Kevin Todd will not need surgery but will miss the
remainder of the season with a separated shoulder.
Hartford Whalers
Sent defenseman Steve Konroyd to Detroit for a sixth-round draft pick.

Acquired defenseman Mark Osiecki from Winnipeg for ninth- and 10th-round
draft picks in 1993.

A former employee filed a sexual harassment suit against Minnesota North
Star owner Norman Green. Karen (Kari) Dziedzic, Green's former executive
assistant, claims Green often instructed her to wear cosmetics, described
her outfits as "very hot" and "very sexy," once slapped her hand as she
was about to eat and humiliated her by grabbing her hand and rubbing it
through a client's hair.
The Minnesota North Stars, who will move to Dallas after this season,
announced that nearly 11,000 season ticket reservations have been made for
their new home at Reunion Arena, which has a capacity of 16,800.
The Met Center commission has told the Minnesota North Stars that it
wants the club out - with its keys returned - at midnight after the last
home game. The club is moving to Dallas for next season. The club must
pay unpaid interest of $4,492.80 on the team's late rent payment for 1992,
which was made earlier this month, and has been instructed not to take
property such as the scoreboard and Zamboni ice-surfacing machine.
**
Derian Hatcher's game-misconduct penalty was rescinded by the NHL,
allowing the Minnesota defenseman to play in the North Stars' last two
regular-season games. Hatcher was given the penalty during a fight at the
end of a loss at St. Louis on Sunday, April 11. But the league didn't
rescind the game-misconduct penalty Shane Churla received. The Stars
recalled center Cal McGowan from their top minor league club in Kalamazoo,
Mich., to replace Churla.
Montreal Canadiens
Acquired defenseman Rob Ramage from Tampa Bay for minor league
defensemen Eric Charron and Alain Cote and future considerations.
New Jersey Devils
**
Bernie Nicholls publicly apologized for his criticism of referee Denis
Morel after the Devils' 5-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Nicholls was
ejected by Morel for being the third man in on a fight late in the second
period of that game and afterward Nicholls called Morel "a homer" and "an
embarrassment to the referee's association."
New York Islanders
Traded right wing Daniel Marois to Boston for a conditional draft
choice.
New York Rangers
Obtained forward Esa Tikkanen from Edmonton for center Doug Weight.
Acquired left winger Mike Hartman from Tampa Bay
Acquired center John McIntyre from Los Angeles for defenseman Mark Hardy
and Ottawa's fifth-round 1993 draft pick.

ankle he broke in a non-skating fall and is not expected to play again
this season. Leetch suffered the broken ankle March 19 following a victory
over San Jose. The team said he slipped on an icy patch of pavement as he
was getting out of a taxi cab in front of his apartment.
**
Announced that defenseman James Patrick will require surgery on a
herniated disc in his back and will not play again this season.
**
Returned goaltender Corey Hirsch to Binghamton of the American Hockey
League.
Ottawa Senators
The Ottawa Senators received the go-ahead to build the 18,500-seat

season, one year behind schedule.
The Ottawa Senators lost their 37th consecutive NHL road game to tie the
1974-75 Washington Capitals for most road losses in a row.

Revolutionary Comics of San Diego agreed to destroy all available copies
of a Mario Lemieux comic book in a settlement with the Pittsburgh Penguins

team's logo and uniform, which are registered trademarks.

St. Louis Blues

result of separating his right shoulder.

Tampa Bay Lightning
1-800-881-2639
At least two investor groups are poised to build a sports arena in
downtown Tampa if the delay-plagued company that holds a lease from the
Tampa Bay Lightning bows out. Tampa Coliseum Inc. has a lease with the
National Hockey League team to develop an entertainment and sports arena
next to Tampa Stadium, but has been unable to raise enough money for the
project.
Sent left winger Mike Hartman to the New York Rangers for center Randy
Gilhen.
Sent defenseman Peter Taglianetti to Pittsburgh for a third-round 1993
draft choice.
Sent defenseman Rob Ramage to the Montreal Canadiens for minor league
defensemen Eric Charron and Alain Cote and future considerations.
**
Manon Rheaume's first starting appearance in goal for the Atlanta
Knights was impressive enough for her coach to say she has a chance to be
a backup goalie for another minor league team next season. Rheaume, the
first female to play professional hockey, stopped 25 shots and gave up six
goals against the Cincinnati Cyclones on Saturday night, April 10. After
the game, her coach, Gene Ubriaco, said Rheaume performed well enough to
compete for the No. 2 goalie spot with the Louisville IceHawks of the East
Coast Hockey League next season. The Knights and the IceHawks are minor
league clubs of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
**
As their first season comes to a close, there are rumors swirling that
the Tampa Bay Lightning just might become the Atlanta Lightning. Or the
Minnesota Lightning. But they are just rumors, according to Lightning
general manager Phil Esposito. ESPN reported on Sunday, April 11, that
the Lightning, who have been playing in 10,400-seat Expo Hall, are
exploring opportunities to move to either Atlanta or Minneapolis. But
Esposito said there was no truth to the report. "We were disappointed
with ESPN's irresponsible comment," Esposito said. "There is just no
substance to the rumor." Rumors have been swirling for the past two years
regarding a move by Tampa Bay, which is presently discussing plans to
build a new arena.
Toronto Maple Leafs
**
Defenseman Matt Martin, who helped Maine win the 1993 NCAA hockey
championship, gave up his final year of eligibility and signed a contract
with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Vancouver Canucks

to build a new stadium. Vancouver council has given the green light for
the 100 million dollar complex. It will seat 20 thousand people and will
have an adjoining office tower. It will be built between the viaducts near
B.C. Place in Vancouver. Site preparation will begin this summer, with a
completion date of Fall 1995.

draft picks in 1993.
Sent goaltender Rick Tabaracci to Washington for Jim Hrivnak and future
considerations.
Sent defenseman Dan Ratushny to Vancouver for a ninth-round draft pick.
Winnipeg's Teemu Selanne broke the NHL's rookie points record. The Jets
rookie tied the record of 109 points, set by Peter Stastny with Quebec
(1980-81), with a goal, his 66th of the season, and moved ahead on an
assist in a 5-4 loss to Toronto.
**
The Fort Wayne Komets said they have been told by Winnipeg that the Jets

League. There have been reports the Jets would move players from Moncton

Pond, the new Anaheim sports arena, near Disney's flagship theme park. The
arena is under construction and will be completed in June. The Pond seats
17,350. The team still must meet the league's requirement that it sell at

-----
- Draft news:
Under terms of the new expansion draft, which will be held in
June, each of the 24 existing clubs will be allowed to protect one
goaltender, five defensemen and nine forwards. The most recent expansion
drafts allowed teams to protect two goalies and did not make a distinction
between forwards and defensemen.
First-year pros only will be exempt from the draft, which is down
from the two-year exemption teams had last season. San Jose, Tampa Bay and
Ottawa still will be allowed to exempt second-year pros.
Each of the 24 teams will lose two players, with a maximum loss of
one goaltender and a maximum loss of one defenseman. The one exception is
that a team which loses a goaltender can then no longer lose a defenseman.
At the end of the first phase of the draft, the two new franchises
will have three goaltenders, eight defensemen and 13 forwards for a total
of 24 players. A second phase then will be conducted where San Jose, Tampa
Bay and Ottawa will select two players each from the rosters of the two
new teams.
Ottawa, Tampa Bay and San Jose will be guaranteed priority
drafting selection in the 1993 draft as long as they have the three worst
records. Anaheim and Miami will choose no lower than fourth and fifth. The
expansion franchises will move up in the draft should either San Jose,
Tampa Bay or Ottawa not finish in the bottom three positions.
The two new teams will pick first and second in the 1994 Entry
Draft, regardless of their finish in 1993-94. Should either of the two new
teams not play next season they would have priority drafting position in
1994.
The owners announced the 1994 draft will be in Hartford and the
1995 draft in Winnipeg. The 1994 draft was scheduled for Boston, but a
delay in the construction of a new arena required the draft be moved.

- League news:
Disputes:
The NHL owners and players have resolved differences over salary

determined until next spring.
In March of '93, the two regular-season division champions from

- Major League Hockey
A new hockey league with franchises throughout the United States
and Canada will begin play in the fallof 1993, officials announced
Wednesday, February 10.
Major League Hockey was founded by Roy Boe, former president of
the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League and the New York/New
Jersey Nets of the American and National Basketball associations.
According to Boe, the league will debut with six to eight teams
playing a schedule of approximately 80 games. Franchise applications have
been received from groups in Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit,
Houston, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Phoenix, San Francisco, Saskatoon, Toronto
and Worcester, Mass., Boe said.
Although the league will not raid existing leagues to stock its
rosters, Boe said it will seek the ``world's finest hockey players.''
Boe said league play will have an international flair and
discussed implementing some rules which are reminiscent of those of the
IIHF.
``We're removing the red line, moving the goal nets forward and
eliminating all tie games,'' said Boe.
The MLH office will operate out of Stamford, Conn.

8. Answers to some frequently asked questions:
Q: Why are the Montreal Canadiens called the Habs?
A: Most of the team during the 40-50's was made up of people who lived in
and around Montreal. Hence they were called "Les Habitants" (natives of
Montreal). This was then shortened to the Habs.
Q: Why is the Montreal Canadiens logo a large C with an H within it?
A: In 1914-15, the Canadiens logo consisted of C with an A within it to
signify Club Athletique Canadien (CAC). The next year, CAC no longer
existed and it was changed to what it is now to signify Club de Hockey.
Q: What is the most informative hockey publication?
A: The Hockey News is preferred by most North American hockey fans. It is
a weekly journal with up-to-date info.
Phone: 800-268-7793 (Canada and US)
Phone/fax: 0483 776141 (UK and rest of Europe)
Q: How does a 5-minute power-play count in the penalty killing stats in
the NHL?
A: If X goals are scored, then the team gets credit for X goals in X+1
chances.
Q: How is +/- computed in the NHL?
A: First, +/- only applies to skaters. Except for a power-play goal, when
a goal is scored, each skater on the ice for the scoring team is given a
+, and each skater on the ice for the other team is given a -. Short-
handed goals do count for +/-.
Q: What is the five-hole?
A: The space between a goalie's pads. There are five major scoring zones:
(1) upper left corner of goal, (2) upper right, (3) lower left, (4) lower
right, and (5) five-hole.
Q: What is the meaning of throwing an octopus on the ice?
A: This tradition began in Detroit in the 1950's when two best-of-seven
series were required to win the Stanley Cup. Every time Detroit won a
game, an octopus with one less arm was thrown on the ice.
Q: Who was the first woman to play in an NHL game?
A: Manon Rheaume, a 20-year-old goaltender, became the first woman ever
to play in an NHL game on September 23, 1992 when she started in net for
the expansion Tampa Bay Lightning in an exhibition against the St. Louis
Blues. Rheaume played the first period before 8,223 at the 10,400-seat
Expo Hall on the Florida State Fairgrounds and allowed two goals on nine
shots. She left with the score tied 2-2, although the Lightning ultimately
lost the game, 6-4.
Q: What is the richest contract in NHL history?
A: Mario Lemieux, the superstar center of the Pittsburgh Penguins, signed
the richest contract in NHL history, a seven-year deal believed to be
worth about $42 million. Lemieux will earn between $6 million and $7
million a year, nearly twice as much as any other player in the league.
Q: Who is the new commissioner of the NHL?
A: Gary Bettman, vice president and general counsel of the National
Basketball Association, was named commissioner of the National Hockey
League, Friday, December 11, 1992. Bettman joined the NBA in 1981 as
assistant general counsel. He became the league's chief legal officer in
September of 1984. A New York resident, Bettman graduated from Cornell
University in 1974 and from New York University School of Law in 1977.
Q: How many professional hockey leagues are there in North America?
A: Six: National, American, International, East Coast, Central and
Colonial Hockey Leagues.

For field hockey discussions, go to the newsgroup rec.sport.hockey.field.
For skating discussions, go to the newsgroup rec.skate.
Some sites get another hockey group, called clari.sports.hockey. c.s.h
consists of the UPI feed for all UPI news articles that are related to
hockey, including game results, summaries, scores, standings, etc. Much
of the information in the NHL team news section comes from this newsgroup.
The rec.sport.hockey Frequently Asked Questions posting is posted semi-
monthly, usually on the 1st and 15th of each month, during the hockey
season. This file was originally created by Tom Wilson, who posted it
during the 1991-92 season. It was taken over by Mitch McGowan for the
1992-93 season.

Oh, well... I have to admit that the most disgusting feature of
Volvo's is their marketing. It looks like Volvo uses something like
"Do you dare to risk your family in any car?" attitude, which is quite
annoying in the long run.
But now Volvo has produced a new good car, the Volvo 850. Front drive,
2.4 L 20 valves motor, completely new chassis etc. Even the British magazine
"CAR" liked it (and believe me, that is quite much for a Volvo). And
the American magazine "Road & Track" said that "This is not your uncle
Olof's car", and in a positive sense.
But in any case, I'd still like to own the 960 estate. Strong, tank-like
chassis, 3.0L inline six, rear drive. :-) :-)
BTW, the only car drivers who have blocked me are Land Rover or Jaguar
drivers... :-) :-) :-) :-) | rec.autos |

Well, my question still hasn't been answered: if Spanky was bad enough to
release this year, why did he get so much playing time last year? Yes, I know
he was part of a platoon, and that's why he got more playing time than
Slaught, but that doesn't answer the question. If Slaught was so obviously
better this year, wasn't this also obvious last year, and shouldn't he
have been taking away some of Spanky's playing time against righties? | rec.sport.baseball |
Sorry, but it is *virtually* impossible to win a division with "no talent"
over 162 games.
I would amend your definition to:
underdog: a team expected to lose, but which wins thanks to underestimated
talent. | rec.sport.baseball |
Two shots at it: (1) Check the tires again - if you can see the wear bars,
you're down to problem area (and some tires pass a penny test between the
bars - that's no guide at all). Your problem in the wet is call hydroplaning.
You may not have enough tread left to channel water out from under the
tire - so it goes fishy on you as it lifts off the road.
(2) Tires age. In particular, soft tire compounds get harder as you put
them thru more heat cycles. Harder compounds don't grip as well as
soft ones. Effect is very noticable on tires that get very hot very
often, such as in competition, but it hits all tires. | rec.autos |

Does any one out there listen to WFAN? For those of you who do
not know what I am talking about, it is an all sports radio
staion in New York. On a clear night the signal reaches up and
down the East coast. In particular, I want to know how Len
Berman and Mike Lupica's show is. I go to school in Virginia
so I can't listen when there are on during the day. Just

Lou wanted Morris all along. The idiot. Giving the man $40 million
to play with is like giving a five year old a loaded Uzi with the
safety off. The only question is how many shots he will get off
before somebody is wise enough to take it away.
I don't see why people expect Boston to finish sixth. The bottom four
teams last year were essentially tied. Boston, in seventh place, had
73 wins. The Yankees and Indians, tied for fourth place, had 76 wins.
Now I should think it is obvious that the Red Sox improved more than
the Indians or Tigers. Basically, the Red Sox are stronger this year
at 1B, DH, SS, LF, and RF. They have healthier starting pitchers (so
far, at least) and better relievers. I see no reason why they
shouldn't win ~85 games. Meanwhile, the Indians are in shambles and
the Tigers *still* have no pitching. They will win some 20-3
blowouts, but they will lose an awful lot of 7-5 games too.
*MAYBE* the Sox will play poorly, win 78 games, and finish fifth.
But I think third or fourth place is more likely. | rec.sport.baseball |
The roar at Michigan and Trumbull should be loader than ever this year. With
Mike Illitch at the head and Ernie Harwell back at the booth, the tiger bats
will bang this summer. Already they have scored 20 runs in two games and with
Fielder, Tettleton, and Deer I think they can win the division. No pitching!
Bull! Gully, Moore, Wells, and Krueger make up a decent staff that will keep
the team into many games. Then there is Henneman to close it out. Watch out
Boston, Toronto, and Baltimore - the Motor City Kittys are back.
| rec.sport.baseball |
Despite walks and loses, Ryan deserves to be in the Hall of Fame (IMHO)
based only on his ho-hitters. The strike-out records are an extra.

I think that Mike Foligno was the captain of the Sabres when he
got traded to the Leafs. Also, wasn't Rick Vaive the captain of
the Leafs when he got traded to Chicago (with Steve Thomas for
Ed Olcyzk and someone). Speaking of the Leafs, I believe that
Darryl Sittler was their captain (he'd torn the "C" off his
jersey but I think he re-claimed the captaincy later on) when he
was traded to the Flyers.
Oh yeah, of course, Gretzky was the captain of the Oilers before
he was traded wasn't he? | rec.sport.hockey |

My boss is interested in a new 300 series Mercedes Benz wagon.
Does anyone have any testimonial evidence and/or strong opinions
on this car (or line)?
Particularly, I would like to hear about power (manual t. only)
reliability, feel, and any unusually good or bad features of the
line.
She currently drives a VW Passat, and is being plagued by its
electrical problems. The dealer claims there is nothing wrong,
even though the doors have a habit of locking and unlocking them-
selves while you are driving down the road. The automatic shoulder
restraints also like to move back and forth as you move along.
She does not have the new, larger engine and is quite
dissatisfied with its lack of power.
The MB wagon would have to have more power and no peculiar problems
such as the Passat's electrical system. She is also considering
a Saab 9000 (add some letters). Any comparisons between the 9000
line and the Mercedes would be helpful.
Price is not an impediment.

Most cars have drain petcocks in the radiators, and I've never
seen nor heard of a vandal opening one. I imagine that there
would be an even lower risk with an oil plug because you have
to crawl furthur under the car to open it.
Car vandals are usually real traditional in their methods, and do things
that don't get them dirty, like keying your car, dumping sand, sugar
or mothballs in the gas tank, TPing it, etc.

The worst thing is that this is exactly what I did last year. I had the Rangers
on MSG, and the two different games on SCNY and SCA on at the same time. Yes,
I'd rather have SC cover it, just for the amount of coverage.
I think Thorne earns his money. The best part is that he is the same way when
he is earning his $$ from SportsChannel as the Devils announcer (i.e.,
unbiased). He goes orgasmic for goals, despite which team scores, and even more
excited (if possible) for great saves. He did a good job of explaining certain
things to non-hockey types without offending those of us who follow the sport
(unlike NBC's clowns for the ASG).

Um, the header said *career.* Hodapp managed about 3000 PA in his
nine years in the majors.
As for his "consistently over .300," make that "three years in a row,
preceded by a part-time year, plus his last year, with Boston." Hodapp
only qualified for the batting title five times.
Was he injured? He retired right around his 28th birthday.
Anyway, Hodapp put up flashy numbers the year *everybody* put up
flashy numbers. That was his only really good year with a bat;
his other .300 years were marred by a lack of power and an inability
to draw walks. Only 163 of those 3000 PA were bases on balls, which
does not describe a feared hitter.
On the other hand, he was part of the long line of famous Cleveland 2B:
