	It's not necessarily that every goon in hockey will want to
get a piece of him because of his reputation or because they have
something against him. It's that, even though he will be be the Flyers
star and key player, Lindros likes to play rough and likes to fight
(judging from his junior PIM). Therefore, goons will gladly take their
lumps if they can get Eric to drop the gloves and spend five minutes
in the box or goad him into instigating and take a five and game.

Ed-- have you ever seen those t-shirts with that (maybe not-so) great
saying "I root for two teams-- the Mets, and whoever plays the
Yankees"?  I love to watch the Rangers games and root so f'ing much
against them (I especially love it when Dummi gets his ass kicked).
The same usually happens with the Islanders, except they've suck so
badly lately I have lightened up against them.

In other words, watch what you can, and be thankful for it.  After all,
isn't that what the NHL-SCA "Alliance" has taught us over the last few
years?

It's all on his feet.  What else do you expect from a Michigan grad.  Also
you may want to note that Mike Emerick announced an NFL game for CBS last
week, which is the main reason why Gary Thorne was picked for ESPN.  It
usually takes at least 3 days of prep to do a network-quality football
broadcast (Don't laugh, it's a lot harder than you think.)

And talk about timing - Gary Thorne on the ESPN baseball game just mentioned
the hockey coverage.  The injunction may have failed?!?

I think you've got it about right...the Penguins can have Scotty
Bowman for $50,000 more a season than a rookie coach with no NHL
experience is earning in LA, for less than what Pat Burns is making,
for $50,000 more than what Brian Sutter is making in Boston.

One figures Craig Patrick must want to kill Howard Baldwin by now,
for Baldwin's making him look like an idiot...going into training
camp without a coach since they are too cheap to pay Bowman a fair
salary, and are begging one of the poorest teams to pay part of
Johnston's salary to coach the Penguins.

I think the Red Wings could use one more good defenseman and Bryan

There are many rules I would like to get changed in the USENET draft:

-No right to cash in more than the minimum amount for buying a player at
  ANY TIME in the season, so one always has a full lineup of players and
  not 1342 points and two players, for example.

-A shorter period between price list publication and the time limit to 
  sell and buy new players.  For example, participants could sell and buy
  from Tuesday to Friday only.  At the present state of the rules, one can
  compile the whole week's stats before making his choice, which is almost 
  a sure win from week to week.  Always buy the player of the week, unless
  it's a goalie!

hockey that gets played in the Patrick Division, and there are a lot of
guys out there who want to show that he's not all he's trumped up to be.

	Not to restart a Lindros thing but the Flyers didn't really give up
too much.  To make the playoffs all the Flyers need to do is have a consistant
goaltender (~3.2 gpa) (Implying a half decent defence :) and have Lindros
score 30 goals or so with repeat seasons from their other top scorers.  Hextall
was always more of a problem than a help.  He would play like a hall of famer
one day and the next like a third stringer.  Anyway, the Flyers would
have made the playoffs in two (or three) other divisions, easily!

	And the Penguins will probably not finish in front of the Rangers (as
much as I hate to say it).  You know Lemieux is going to be injured for
about 15 games with that back of his.
