How do you think Canuck fans feel when they traded Cam Neely?
At the time of the trade Neely was my favorite player and I never even
heard of Barry Pederson.

Peter Ahola was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins today in exchange for Jeff
Chychrun.  Chychrun was very unhappy in Pittsburgh, due to a lack of playing
time.

In an unrelated story, Penguins forward Kevin Stevens underwent arthroscopic
surgery today (on his knee).  He was injured last night in the game against the
St. Louis Blues.  He will probably be out 3-4 weeks recovering.

I saw him last night at the GW Forum during the Sabers' game
watching from McNall's box.  I think Wayne has been in LA
too long because, true to LA form, he left the game early. 

BTW, Prime Ticket (the local cable station which televises
the Kings) had a hilarious segment of Wayne and Bruce McNall
when they were sitting close to the ice during the New
Jersey game Thursday.  Wayne and Bruce were both carefully
watching the game when a relatively cute blonde in a
relatively tight short black dress walks down the aisle past
Wayne and Bruce.  She then walks in front of them and then
goes out of camera range.  Both Wayne and Bruce try to be
cool and pretend not to notice her as she walks past them.  
As soon as she is past them, both of their heads turn like 
clockwork to check her out.  The commentary went something 
like: "Wayne Gretzky and Bruce McNall - not only parters in 
business, but also scamming parters as well."  

I hope the above does not offend the women readers of rsh.
It was not meant to be sexist, even though it kind of sounds
like it.

One of my pals was boasting that the Sandstrom line in LA was
the 4th best line in hockey.

Given that Pittsburgh has the best two (heh heh), what would be
some possible 3rd's?

ON the contrary, it probably makes you moreof a fan. Let's face it"
if you were a fair-weather fan and they lost, you'd be like, "Oh
well, no biggie." But I know that whenever the Bruins lose, you can
here my cursing for a 10 mile radius. It's because I love the team
so much and want to see them win every game. Just because you like
a team, doesnt predispsose you to always saying good thigns about it
no matter how bad theyre playing; it simply means that you have to
smack a non=Cancuks fan when they say the same thing you do. :)

Fortunately, there hasnt been much cursing on my part this year.

BTW- Where were all these Penguins fans three years ago when
     they missed the playoffs?

It saddens me to hear that the current hockey icon could have

Gerald seems to have different goals for this than the NHL, which is why he
thinks it's a stupid idea.  The NHL's goal is publicity, which shutting
down the NHL for the Olympics and sending the NHL players would accomplish.
Gerald's goal seems to be to optimize the chances of Team Canada winning,
which would be better served by the Canada Cup.

Well, I have to agree with the poster above.

Wendel Clark is the heart and soul of the Leafs.
And that's why the Leafs just plain suck!  Any other team in the
NHL want to "count" on Wendell Clark being their saviour?  I would
hope not...

Luckily, for Leafs fans (not me), the Leafs have traded for someone
who actually can be the heart and soul of the Leafs.  Doug Gilmour.
This guy has class.  I HATE the Leafs, but I still admire Gilmour a lot.
I don't like him, but he is the best thing to happen to the Leafs in
a *long* time.

Actually, the more I think about the Leafs the more I get scared that
I may actually not detest them forever.  Ugh!  I actually like some
of their players now (Borschevsky, Potvin, and Perrault).  Luckily
they still have people like Clark around so I can still hate them.

Hopefully, they can trade away the players I like for nothing so I
can continue hating them forever. :-)

So what's with Jarri Kurri this year?  His production had trailed off
considerably in his last few seasons with Edmonton, and his return to the NHL
with the Kings last (?) season was less than sensational, but this season he
seems to be playing like a man (re-)possessed!

He appears to be playing with Robitaille and Sandstrom, and all three
are on a tear.  Anyone in LA care to comment on Kurri's, and LA's, transformation?

Wow!! Really?!?  And I thought I saw him on the ESPN SportsDesk just
yesterday sitting with the McNall bozo at the Forum in Los Angeles.
Let me guess-- the aliens replaced him with a non-hockey playing robot
designed to look like him, right?  Wow, what a strange coincidence--
him and Elvis have a lot more in common than I thought....

Actually the Broad Street Bullies were not a Mike Keenan team
but were coached by, I believe, Fred Shero (sp?).  I wouldn't
use the term "discipline" in any description of their style of
play though!  

I think that the 'bullies actually patterned themselves after
the intimidating "Big Bad Bruins" but took the physical
intimidation to a level the league has never seen since (thankfully!)
