Hi there!

I'm new to the net and have never posted here before.  A good
friend asked a favor of me and I told him I'd do my best.  He's
looking for a tape of hockey fights on VHS and I was wondering
if anyone's got one and would be able to copy it if I sent a
blank tape and postage.  I'm sorry if is out of place here,
but I really have no clue.  If you've got a tape and don't
have a way to copy it, I could do it if you'd be willing
to trust me with your tape for a week or so.  I'd pay
priority mail postage both ways.  Thank you very much.  If
you could email me a response, rather than posting, I'd 
appreciate it, as my news feed is rather spotty lately 
(actually, much worse than spotty)

Not to question your basic premise that the trade was good for
Calgary and that it helped them win the Cup, I think you're
overdoing it in your assessment of Hull.  I'll take a team of 
floaters if each of them can put 86 goals in the net in one year.
Secondly, Ramage definitely played a key role in the '89 Cup
win, but I don't recall Wamsley doing similarly, as you're indicating.
My recollection is that Mike Vernon was used nearly exclusively
during their run for the Cup (I vividly remember how great he
played in the overtime of the deciding game in the series with
Vancouver--talk about coming up big under pressure!).

Well just to put my two bits in.  I play hockey left handed I also bat left
handed, however I learned to play golf right handed.  The reason, I did not
know any one with left handed clubs.  It is a bit expensive to go out when
you first learn to play golf and get left handed clubs.  So my Dad had right handed clubs and I learned to play right handed.  The funny thing is my
Dad had the same thing happen to him.  He plays hockey left handed and he plays
golf right handed.  For the same reason.  So I believe that with golf it is
also what equipment you have/get.

Not "no construction for 30 days", but "30 days behind schedule".  They might

Has anyone made any research about the amount of players keeping 
right/left hand down on stick. I think the majority plays left hand 
down. But somehow it seems to me that "the rights" are in general 
better players than "the lefts". I was thinking for example Lemieux, 
Yzerman, Ciccarelli, Selanne, Kurri, Sundin. 

So, if someone has made comparisons between the number of "the rights" 
in the whole league and on the other hand the number of them on top 
10/50/100 scorers, I would like to see them. That might prove my idea 
totally wrong.

I gotta tell ya,

yes, I am a Wendel Clark fan mainly because of one reason...
As Don Cherry would say, the kids' got heart. Sure he's been
injured and is definately not in the "iron-man" class because
of it but there must be a reason he's got the "C" patched onto
his jersey. But would I trade him? Well, definately if the price was
right such as the rumored Mogilny trade a whiles back.
And the "C" would go on Gilmore's jersey. (He kinda deserves to
wear it now.)

It's about time!  Andre is probably the best player Princeton has
produced since Hobey Baker, class of 1914.  I don't think he's quite
ready for the NHL yet, but it was good to see him in there.

The guy on the news said that Andre scored his first career NHL goal on
his first shot.  How many other players have done this?  I don't suppose
the NHL keeps this sort of statistic, but it would be interesting to see
if any great players achieved this, and also if any players did it and
then just disappeared.  Anyway, way to go Andre'!

This will be one L.A. girl who will be glad to see him go.  He has
been contributing absolutely nothing to the team lately and the Kings
need something (or should I say, someone) who will actually go 
out and play hockey every night (not just stand around looking
disinterested and putting forth about 2% effort).

However, I predict you will see more than just this one trade
coming (if they can find teams stupid enough on which to unload all
the "old guys" with incredible salaries and stupendously
long contracts :-)
 
I hope McNall has learned his lesson -- repeat after me --

I beleive that using the larger ice surface costs the 'Dome the first five rows
of seats from the ice. That is about 2,000 seats if I remember correctly, so
capacity would be around 18,000 seats, yes.

Do any other NHL rinks have the ability to expand to the international size
ice surface or is the Saddledome unique in that respect? 

The NHL will never change to the international surface though. The Flames can
charge about $40 a ticket for those front row seats. Losing 2000 of them means
losing over $80,000 in ticket revenue per game, or over $3.5 million Cdn per
year not counting playoffs. (When prices go up)

At the time of his injury, he was third on the Leafs in even strength
goals...

	Thank the Lord there is another Wendel Clark fan. Wendel is by far
my favourite player. He does it all out there. He fights, he hits, he scores, 
he does a lot for the team and the fans. Wendel always works hard and fights
all of the Leafs battles. While this has hurt him over the years, I like him
for it. He has the potential for 30 goals and 60 points. But his injuries
have held him back. But I wouldn't want to see Wendel change his ways to score
a few more points. I hope the Leafs don't trade Wendel, because whatever they
get won't be fair value. There is only one Clark and the Leafs have him.
Its nice to see that some people still like Wendel, despite his injuries.
