Essensa

Apparently Bure was quite upset at not scoring in the second Edmonton game.
Guess teams better hope he scores in the game preceding the one they are
scheduled to have with the Canucks!  Gary Monahan stated after the game
that he thought Bure may be the most exciting player to have played in the
NHL - not the best, but the most exciting.  A comment on TSN during the 
Pitsburg-Quebec game was that he (Bure) is a higlight reel by himself!

You may or may not remember that, although Kontos only scored 28 career
regular season goals in 7 seasons, in one playoff season with the Kings
(I believe it was 1989). He had 11 goals and 0 assists.
Last nights performance brings back memories of that playoff performance.

Of course, the opposing teams think he's the Antichrist.  After all,
his play often bedevils them, and sometimes when he scores a goal at
the Civic Arena, all hell (or perhaps I should say pandemonium
instead) breaks loose.  He's got two 6's on his back, and now he's got
a third 6 (million) each year, on the average.  And then there's also
the matter of Ulfie playing on the same team, who can be a rather
"beastly" defenseman at times.  And another Lemieux who plays, quite
openly, for a team called the Devils.  These may well be the last days
:-)...I wonder if our resident "saint" has anything to say about this?

They also had ads on the ice at the Great Western Forum in L.A. and I 
have to agree it looks VERY TACKY.  At least, the add on the ice was
for Starter which produces lines of sporty clothing, etc. which isn't
quite so bad as having Foodland on the ice . . . 

I also noticed that between periods they actually showed commercials
for Starter on the video screen above the ice. Did they do this for   
certain sponsors in other arenas?

Thanks for responding to my post Matt I found your followup post very
interesting, however it does not change my opinion.  Lindros will not win
rookie of the year because he is Canadian, he will win it because he is the
biggest, meanest, most skilled player to enter the game this season.
I might be naive in another case, but in Lindros' case his nationality will
have nothing to do with the selection of the award.

Like I said, it is only my opinion.

The Flyers-Penguins season opener on ESPN proved that US hockey fans
don't care about H.Ross Perot and could care less about about Major
League Baseball playoffs on CBS.

Not only did CBS registered the lowest prime-time Nielsen(12.0 rating)
in the history of National League Championship Series even with a relatively strong
H.Ross Perot audience, ESPN rating for the season opener was quite
impressive - a 1.5 reflecting 921,000 homes and a boost over 0.9 average
in 1988(the last time ESPN televised NHL). SCA audinece for the last
three years was never measured since its subscribership base was way too
small to qualify for Nielsen. 

It looks like ESPN actually ate into the baseball audience and not
the other way around as was feared earlier.

The reason why Bill Clement was put behind the studio desk and not in the broadcasting
booth as the game analyst is quite simple - ESPN doesn't want anyone in a
SportsChannel carryover role. 

Schoenfeld impressed me with good insight. He just have to cut down on 
using the same words all the time. What can you say about Gary Thorne?
Currently one of the best hockey announcers on this side of the border.
Tom Mees? Looked very at ease and right at home as the studio host.
Al Morganti? Good supplement to the intermission show. However,picking
Quebec to finish on top in the Adams is just stretching a little, Al.

Stay tuned for Devils at Flyers tonight at 7:30pm.

For New England viewers : Tomorrow night's TV schedule has NY Islanders
at Bruins at 7pm on NESN and SC New England has Buffalo visiting Hartford
at 7:30pm.

 Hang in there, Evan !   

  The JETS broke out of their slump last night, pasting the Oilers 7-3.
(I LOVE to watch them beat the Oilers, even if they are a shadow of
  their former self.)
 
SELANNE got his first hat trick (4 points for the night)! 

 Freddie Olausson (1st star) had 5 points (1 goal).  
 
  Now, if they play like this again on Friday, they should be very able to
avenge the loss to the Canucks....

Subject: Pens 3-0-1 at home

The Penguins upped their home record to 3-0-1 on the young season with a
5-2 victory over the Canadiens at the Arena.  The Penguins became the 1st
team to register 8 points on the season at 3-0-2 overall and took over 1st
place in the Patrick, something that didn't last for too long last year.  Let's
 hope this year is different.  (Quebec quickly followed the Pens to 8 points
and now is 4-0-0 overall)  Goal scorers for the Penguins were Stevens, Francis,
 Lemieux, Jagr, and McEachren.  McEachren's goal was on the power play.  Three
Stars were No. 3 Stevens  No. 2 Barrasso  No. 1 Lemieux, who again had another
3-point night and leads the league with 17 points.  I believe the Penguins
outshot the Canadiens 37-36 on the night.  In State College, the game was
severely limited to a local news television channel (continous reports of time,
news, temperature reports) and the radio was set to Mike Lange/Paul Steigerwald
 in the backround.  The official radio station itself was broadcasting the
debate.  That's why I don't know quite that much of the game.  Lemieux's goal
came right after the power play expired.  He was on the ice for close to 3-4
minutes according to Mike Lange and just continued to work and work and finally
 put it past Patrick Roy...The Attendance was weird, the p.a. announcer said,
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's attendance 16,000 (and you nationally expect
to hear the 164 on the end) and 2.  That's 16,002."  We were like, what? 2?
It just seemed so odd to hear it that way!  Pens are finally up to 1st, but one
 loss can drop you from 1st to 3rd or 4th in this Patrick Division so Pens
gotta keep fighting!  Whalers up Saturday night.  Talk to ya then.

Sergei Federov DOESN'T have any problems with his back.  Sergei is skating as
well as he did last year.  I believe he had some Arthrosopic Surgury on his 
knees during the off season but it was not his back.  He has not had a

Hist First goal of the PreSeason.  Yzerman / Ciccerreli have played well in the

I saw Eric being interviewed on the 6:30pm sports on KDKA-TV before I
left for the game.  He was asked (in a very long-winded way) to express
his feelings on the afternoon of his NHL debut.  The bottom-line question
was, "What are you thinking about?"  Eric said, "The pre-game meal in
10 minutes."  He then went on to say that it's the same game, the same
everything -- just the environment is different; and that if you let the
environment control you, you will have problems.

AFTER the game Eric said he's glad it's over because he was very nervous
beforehand.  I'm sure glad he didn't toss his pre-game meal all over the ice.
(He should have tossed it all over the stoopid mascot, though; it would have
been an improvement.)

I'll tell you what I noticed about him.  He could have had "PROBERT" written
across the back of his jersey and I would have thought Bob had been dealt
to the FLYERS.

I thought the Penguin fans treated him abominably.  I finally asked one
of the boo-birds "Why is everyone being so nasty?"  He said, "Well, as
far as I'm concerned, he might be a damn good player but I hate his lousy
attitude."  Hmmm.  Wonder what he would think of Eric's attitude if he
had ended up in Pittsburgh?  

Mom.
