* Lightning hit another bump on road

Russ Courtnall scored twice Saturday night, giving him four goals in his
last two games, to lead the Minnesota North Stars to a 6-4 victory over the
Tampa Bay Lightning.

Todd Elik, Bobby Smith, Ulf Dahlen, and Mike Modano also scored as Minnesota
improved to 8-0-0 against the three expansion teams -- Tampa, Ottawa, and San
Jose. The North Stars, 4-0-2 at home since Dec. 15, moved to one point of
second-place Detroit in the Norris Division.

Steve Kasper and former North Stars Basil McRae, Steve Maltais, and Shawn
Chambers scored for the Lightning. Tampa has lost six of its last seven
games -- all on the road.

The Lightning's road marathon continues Monday at Toronto and Wednesday at
Detroit. They return to Tampa on Saturday against St. Louis -- their first
home game since Dec. 20.

Maltais' backhander past goalie Darcy Wakaluk at 5:18 of the second period
pulled the Lightning to 3-2. But with 1:14 left in the period, Courtnall took
Mike McPhee's drop pass at the blue line, took a long stride and slapped the
puck between the pads of J.C. Bergeron.

Courtnall, acquired Aug. 31 for all-time Minnesota goal-scorer Brian Bellows,
is the North Stars' leader in goals (19) and assists (28).

Chambers' goal at 51 seconds of the third period made it 4-3 before Dahlen
scored at 8:08. Kasper's goal with 2:11 to play cut the Lightning's deficit
to one, but Modano scored into an empty net with 38 seconds left.

1992-93 Los Angeles Kings notes.
--------------------------------

GRETZKY RETURNS
----------------

The Kings called a press conference at the Forum yesterday and announced that
center Wayne Gretzky would return to action tomorrow night when the Kings host
the Tampa Bay Lightning.  Gretzky, in announcing that he was fully recovered
from his back injury, pronounced himself fit and eager to return to the ice.

"I'm obvioulsy pretty excited," said Gretzky.  "The thought of not being able
to play hockey was pretty frightnong.  I'm getting a second chance.  Not many
people get a second chance."

The team doctors have been observing Gretzky during practices and they cleared
him to play after Sunday's practice.  The Kings had origionally set a date of
Jan. 16 for Gretzky to return, but the doctors advised that there would be no
appreciable change in his condition during that time.  Gretzky will wear a 
protective pad but said that he his not worried about getting hit.  "I think 
other people are more worried about it than me."

Gretzky will play tomorrow against Tampa Bay and Friday at Winnipeg but will 
sit out Sunday's game (Jan. 10) at Chicago.  After that, he plans on playing
every game.

Gretzky will resume his role of team captain, a title that Coach Barry Melrose
had assigned to Luc Robitaille.  Luc will replace Tony Granato as an alternate
captain.

Kings Coach Barry Melrose announced that Gretzky will center Mike Donnelly and
Tony Granato, and that Jarri Kurri will remain at center with Luc Robitaille
and Tomas Sandstrom (when he returns from his arm injury) as his wings.  Gretzky
will receive a normal shift tomorrow night, with his total ice time determined
by his conditioning.

Additionally. Melrose also announced that two additional injured players, Corey
Millen (groin) and Warren Rychel (ankle) will return to the lineup tomorrow 
night.  With the return of Gretzky, Millen and Rychel, the Kings are finally
returning to health with only Lonnie Loach (broken thumb) and Tomas Sandstrom 
(broken arm) still out of action.

Remember, it wasn't exclusively Lindros's fault last year...he did play
on the two gold-medal Canadian Junior teams in the two years prior to
last years flop.  If you blame him for last year, then he deserves a lot
of credit for the two years previously to that.  Lindros did play
terrible last year, but he was far from alone in this respect.   When
team chemistry fails, it also tends to suggest a major failure on the
part of the coaches.

From a pure hockey perspective, that is undoubtedly true, but from a
total hockey-business perspective, not really.  Lindros is not going to
be a flop.  Lindros will sell a lot more prepaid skyboxes in the new
Spectrum than Forsberg would have...that is the difference.

The Flyers are not a poor team, and with liberalized free agency
coming, the loss of talent is easily replaced by those with deep
pockets and who are willing to spend.

Tomas Sandstrom returned to the Kings lineup on December 26 when the Kings
played the Sharks in Daly City.  He played one period, having fallen on his
arm that was fractured.  He did not record a point in the game.  Due to sore-
ness and lack of strength in the arm, he has been out of the lineup since.

The Kings expect him back in the lineup sometime during the next home stand
which starts January 21 vs Vancouver.

I've missed this rumor...but perhaps there's a mixup between the two forms of 
gymnastics currently in the Olympic program.  They are:
1. Artistic Gymastics - the kind most of us are familiar with.  Includes uneven 
   and parallel bars, rings, floor exercise, balance beam, pommel horse, and 
   vault.
2. Rhythmic Gymastics - the lesser-known sort, which entered the Olympic 
   program in 1984.  Features ball, clubs, rope, ribbon, and hoop - 4 of these 
   5 are used in any given year as selected by the sport's governing body.

Rhythmic is the form considered less popular - only because it's not as widely 
known outside of Eastern Europe - and most at the subject of rumored expulsion. 

Also, there IS an age limit for the Olympics - competitors must be at least 14 
(I think - might be 15) in order to compete.  The minimal age must be reached 
by the end of the Olympic year.  For example, the youngest American competitor 
in Barcelona was turning the minimal age in November '92.

As for Kim Zmeskal, I believe she was planning to retire after the tours of 
champions, but we may have to wait for the competition season to begin to know 
for sure.

Hey Gymnastics Fan!!

Rumor has it that gymnastics may be eliminated either from the Olympics or 
just competition itself 'cause those little tiny competitors are considered
psychologically and perhaps physically too young to compete...do you know
anything definite about that?

In my opinion, if those are too young to compete, they wouldn't be able
to "hang in there" and win some medals. I surely hope gymnastics last
forever!!

Tell me if you know whether United States Kim Zmeskal has retired from the
sport yet.

	ACK!

	I certainly hope gymnastics will *NOT* be eliminated from the Olympic
schedule.  This summer was the first time I became interested in the Olympics,
and I enjoyed the gymnastics most of all.  

	It seemed to have the most stories behind it, and it seemed to have
more feeling than the other sports.  I understand that there was a wave of
complaints about it being too hard on young girls (but, do you really trust
the media?), but I don't think they'll be scarred for life.  

	The only other part of the Olympics that came close to being as 
interesting this summer was watching the equestrians try to negotiate the
obstacle course.  They may as well have played Russian roulette.

	Everybody has their $.02....

I believe most of the boating events (sculling, rowing, etc.) will be on the
lake at Stone Mountain.  They're going to remove an island to make room.

If not, we do have Lake Lanier north of Atlanta, if you remove all the sailboats
and ski-boats...

All persons interested in gymnastics or particular gymnasts should look into

And by the way, for you Svetlana Boguinskaya fans, she recently entered and

is possible that her plans for retirement have been put on hold.

(Translation - don't flame me if I'm doing something wrong.)

Anyway, I know that Olympic events are scheduled well in advance, and
tickets are also available well in advance. Since the summer games in

schedules are available? Tickets?

Where would one get tickets -- my first guess would be travel agents.

It has also been suggested that I could contact the IOC, but I presume
there must be a special committee (or sub-sub-subcommittee) that would
be better to get in touch with. Does anyone have an appropriate
address?

Remove an island?  No way the Corps of Engineers will allow that (you'd be
destroying wetlands).

Also, yachting will be off the coast at Savannah, and whitewater canoeing on
the Ocoee River in the SE corner of Tennessee.

It's not a natural lake anyway.  There are no wetlands on the island, either.

Besides, the Corps didn't build the lake, so they have no jurisdiction.

ACOG has passed the Stone Mountain plan which involves all the construction
for the Olympics, removing the island, and renovating Stone Mountain itself.

No word, though, on what to do with General Lee and his aides who are chiseled
