This is the point I was getting at when I posted the very question about the    injury being more severe than first thought in a follow up of Pete's Flyers     notes on the twelfth.  I wouldn't want to see Eric rushed back either but the   Flyers should have added time to his expected absence and then let everyone be  suprised by him coming back early.  If there is an unexpected problem the FLyers should come right out and say what the problem is rather than call it a mistakeHopefully he'll be able to play

According to the recently-posted attendance figures and rink sizes,
Calgary DOES have a larger rink (and can bring in more fans), but Chicago
has more sellouts. (Still, Calgary's not doing too bad, considering it
has only a fraction of the population of Chicago.)

On a side note: In the long term, Chicago MAY have a decrease in fan
intrest. Why? The owner likes to show games on a pay-per-view basis
(as opposed to regular cable or network broadcasts). This gives increased
revenue for the short term, but over the long term the team may loose
marginal support. (Anyone in Chicago know how Hawkvision has worked so
far?)

* Lightning nip Kings on late penalty shot

Mikael Andersson scored on a penalty shot with 32.8 seconds left in the third
period Tuesday night, lifting the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 3-2 decision over
the Los Angeles Kings and dealing goalie Rob Stauber his first defeat of the
season.

Stauber, who had gone 9-0-1 and had won seven in a row, tried to beat Andersson
to a loose puck in the left corner of the Kings' zone. But he lost the grip of
the stick while poking the puck away from Andersson and referee Mike McGeough
awarded the first-year expansion club its second penalty shot [of the season].

Andersson skated in on Stauber, faked the goalie to the ice and backhanded the
puck under the goalie's pad for the game winner with Tampa's 34th and final
shot [says 35 above] -- the seventh time in a row the Lightning have outshot
their opponent. The Kings had 27 shots.

In the Lightning's only other penalty shot, Brian Bradley was stopped by
Toronto's Felix Potvin on Oct. 22 in Tampa.

Almost every team in the NHL is currently carrying 25 players in fear
of putting anyone on non-recallable waivers...there is plenty of
talent...plus there are lots of Theoren Fleuries in Canada who can play
but whom the NHL considers too small.

The essence of what happened is that the other owners wanted Disney so
much, the other owners in the NHL paid Disney's compensation to McNall
out of their share of the expansion money.  Hamilton will never be so
fortunate.

bring it up again.  For about a year and a half now people have been
saying that the patrick division is the strongest.  Perhaps they were
but doesn't it appear to you all that perhaps the adams is at worst,
right on top of them???  If you look at the teams, the Adams has four
top notch team, buffalo probably being the (overall) weakest of the four.
Now of course we have hartford an ottawa, but still when compared to
the patrick what do you see??  I personally see two major teams,
Pittsburgh and The Rangers.  Beyond that things get pretty shallow.

So what do you all think out there what is the strongest division right
now???

Hmm... what goes around comes around....  I don't like it.  I think
Dave might have some hard feelings for the Bruins, who didn't re-sign
him a couple of years ago.  I don't know how he is doing this year-- he
is getting older, though.

Never.  As much as Erixon is a good defensive center, he is aging
(about 30, if I recall), and has had back problems for the past few
seasons.  At his age, injuries take a little longer to heal, especially
reoccuring ones such as this.  He is currently injured, although
supposedly he should be back soon.

Can you predict the weather too? Why will the Miami team be terrible? I suppose
you predicted that Tampa would be terrible too. You just discredited yourself.
How good the team is will depend on two things: how smart the owners are by
getting someone who can pick the proper mix of players and how good a job the
coach can do with the players he has.

As much as people hate Espo, he did a good job getting Terry Crisp. Phil and
his brother both played and know what to look for. Asst. coach Wayne Cashman
was also a good choice. Given the players they chose, they have done one hell
of job. Who would have known? No one. Who knows how well Miami will do? No one.
So save your dumb predictions until they have a start somewhere near what
Ottawa had. It's ok for them, they're in hockey country. If I wanted to bash
cities the way you do, I guess I could say that the Ottawa fans are stupid
enough to follow any team. I don't intend that, but that's how your comments
come across (uniformed).

More blind bashing. I don't care where the teams are. I want to see the league
succeed and lots of hockey on TV. I think it's pretty obvious that if Milwaukee
and Hamilton want teams, they need to show up with the money. Perhaps you need
to bash the people who aren't stepping forward. When you show up late to a sold
out game, they don't ask someone who doesn't like hockey as much to leave so
that you the expert can watch. They take the money, first come first serve.
I'll accept the teams, no matter where they are.

According to "Can You Name That Team?" by David B. Biesel, the Tigers started
out as the Quebec Bulldogs.  The Bulldogs played the 1919/20 season in
the NHL and became the Hamilton Tigers the following year.  The Tigers
played through the 1924/25 season and moved to New York, becoming the
New York Americans.  The Americans played from 1925/26 through 1940/41.
They spent the 1941/42 season as the Brooklyn Americans and then became
defunct.

I have no information on the reasons for any of the moves or changes.  I
just thought this was interesting based on the current discussion.
