The Bruins have not had major player changes besides the ones I mentioned
but there a few.... Roberts and Shaw on defense, Glen Featherstone should
be back sometime soon... they let guys like Lyndon Byers go...  and the
young guys like Joe Juneau, Steve Heinz, and Ted Donato will have a full
season this year.  Kvartalnov is the player I think the Bruins have needed
for a while.  They have lacked a sniper for a long while.  There are quotes
saying that he will take a shot from the parking lot if he can see the net,
but I've noticed some great passing from him too.  Look for big numbers
there.  And if someone thinks that Cam Neely playing would not make a
significant difference in the outcome of the season and playoffs.... hmmm.

Anyway, I like the Sabres (I lived in Buffalo for a few years and have many
relatives still there) but they remind me of the Boston Red Sox.  You know,
on paper you say:  Ooooo they've got him and him and him, and they should
win the division easy... and then what?  Can you say choke?

   Oops!!!  I am so sorry.  I was thinking about ANOTHER goalie who played
very well with the Rochester Americans & then floated away from the

   David Littman had a try out w/ the Lightning.

Some of these guys change their styles/attitudes radically when they
switch teams, though.  If you could see the list of people who the
Sabres dumped because it seemed they couldn't produce, who then went
on to become stars in other franchises...  yeesh.

No argument, really, with that. My points (I thought) were that 
1) Nationality is not inappropriate or irrelevant to the discussion,
   but I do not think it is the deciding factor, either.
2) He will be helped greatly by the enormous publicity. Even if he is
   outpointed by another rookie, voters will point to his impact on the
   game and on the Philly team, and I am not sure I will disagree with them.
   Like I said, anybody else will have to "walk on ice" to beat him out.

Philly to date has shown a lot of grit, and Eric has been a big part of
that. He has been quiet but present, solid enough to hold them together
when things get messy, and he has stepped up, without a lot of fanfare
and bullshit grandstanding or whining, to make the big play in each game
so far. Makes you wonder if this is the same kid who seemed like such a
smuck a year ago, doesn't it.

 Why is it that the Whalers always trade any glimmer of offense they

finally won. Also, what kind of fan support can you expect from a team
named after slow, fat, boring mammals? At least its fitting...

Subject: SHARKS NEWS: Picard acquired
Organization: DSG, Stanford University, CA 94305, USA
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 92 17:14:32 GMT

The Sharks announced yesterday that they have acquired left wing Michel Picard
from the Hartford Whalers for future considerations.  Picard, who led the AHL
in goals in '90-'91 with 56 (with 40 assists) in 77 games, had 25 goals (no
assist numbers given) in 40 games with Hartford's AHL Springfield minor club,
but only had 3 goals and 5 assists in 25 games with the Whalers.  The Sharks
hope that he can take his NHL game to another notch.

Picard, who will turn 23 on November 7, was drafted by the Whalers in the 8th
round of the 1989 draft.  He is not expected to play either tonight against the
Detroit Red Wings or Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Kings.  Coach George
Kingston said that the future considerations the Sharks give up will depend on
Picard's performance with the Sharks.

Meanwhile, this added to the logjam the Sharks have at wing.  In addition to
the 8 that the Sharks played Thursday night (Pat Falloon, Johan Garpenlov,
David Bruce, Petri Skriko, Yvon Corriveau, Dave Snuggerud, John Carter, and
Jeff Odgers) the Sharks also have Jean-Francois Quintin, Ed Courtenay,
Mikhail Kravets, and Perry Berezan on roster.

Robb,
	The Canucks are looking very good this year, starting out with a win
in Edmonton, one of the only teams that the Canucks had trouble with last
year.  
	Cliff Ronning centres Trevor Linden and Sergio Momesso, Greg Adams
is between Pavel Bure and Dixon Ward while Petr Nedved pivots Jim Sandlak and
Geoff Courtnall.  Tom Fergus lines up with Gino Odjick and Garry Valk on the
forth line.  Defensively, Robert Dirk (shoulder separation) should be ready
to play in Saturday's game against Edmonton.  Rookie Jiri Slegr will partner
vet Doug Lidster, Adrien Plavsic skates with Gerald Diduck and Jyrki Lumme
is back with old sidekick Dana Murzyn.  Dave Babych (hernia) is out until
December.
	Be sure to watch for rookies Jiri Slegr and Dixon Ward!

Given that fans have learned to become used to seeing ads on boards, it's
very possible that if on-ice advertising became an NHL standard we'd all
eventually become used to it as well.

However, I think the issue rests on the overall appearance of the rink (and
the sport).  When you watch a sport in your favourite venue, whether it be
live or on the tube, you're bombarded with ads in their usual places 
everywhere you go.   Of course, this is all necessary..the teams have to
generate $$$, right?   

But if it were all up to me, I simply draw the line at placing ads on 
to the surface itself.

Baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, racetrcks, you name it.
The ads hit you left, right and centre...all around the *perimeter*.  It's
a business of dollars and cents, that's how it should be.  But keep the
junk off of the surface itself, and let me *enjoy* the event that I paid
$10-$25 to see.

reported before the season started that after an exibition game played

to say the Lumberjacks BEAT the Cyclones both Friday and Saturday. I do

If you want to spell the name correct say it as Tehmoo SElannEh.

Sorry Randy, but I'm afraid your stock has just taken a beating...Khristich 
has a broken foot and is expected to miss another 5 to 6 weeks.

He is one of five key players out of the Capital's lineup.  He shares the
pressbox with Michal Pivonka (groin pull), Randy Burridge (knee (2)),
Sylvain Cote (fractured hand), and just lately Jason Woolley (fractured
wrist).

Not that this entirely explains the Caps boneheaded play of late, but 
considering that three of the Capitals key scorers are upstairs eating
pop corn instead of putting pucks in the net surely doesn't help the team
any.
