Well, I happen to prefer ESPN because we cannot even pay to get access
to SCA through our cable company which means if SCA still had a deal
with the NHL, I would get to see NO hockey games (other than the Kings  
on Prime Ticket) all season!  And as for the sports bars, most of 
the ones near where I live are more concerned with televising football
and basketball than hockey.  So without ESPN, people like myself
would be out of luck . . . :-(

Long live ESPN!

the box score of the Sabres - Whalers game.  I believe *69* penalities were
called, (totally almost 300 minutes for that game.)  I am not sure if two
ref's were used, but the article in the paper said two things caused this: th
NHL's new stick-grabbing rule, and the fact that there was a bench clearing
brawl with less than 1 minute left in the game, caused by a run at both
goaltenders. 

From what the article said, every skater on both teams were involved in the
skirmish..

The Sharks sent wingers Don Barber and Larry DePalma down to Kansas City of
IHL yesterday.  Both of them must clear waivers before going to Kansas City.

The Sharks also recalled defenseman Pat MacLeod from Kansas City.

Center Kelly Kisio (strained stomach muscle) and defenseman Doug Wilson
(scratched cornea) practiced yesterday, and are expected to be ready for
Thursday's season opener against the Winnipeg Jets.

A right?? Maybe in Canada I'd buy a right to watch hockey (it results
in different regional and linguistic coverage across Canada on HNIC,
after all), but not here in the U S of Eh. ESPN is obviously doing
whatever they think will sell the most commercials. Why Tampa Bay vs.
Buffalo (10/16) made it, John Ziegler only knows.

As I understand it, in return for this generous sum, Lemieux has to fullfill
his duties as "Penguin for life".  Meaning that after his playing days are over,
he'll represent the organization in some as yet undetermined role.  (No, he
isn't going to dress as the team mascot.)

How about that...Tim Sweeney, the ex-Flame who left the organization because

and now he's back in the minors. Take that, Tim. Looks good on you!

Same goes for Darryl Olsen, another ex-Flame. They told him he wasn't good

I was surprised that Creighton and MacIver were left unprotected by the
Islanders and the Oilers, respectively.  Gerald, wasn't MacIver supposed to
be a main part of the Oiler defense? :-)

I have no qualms about the Sharks getting Corriveau, who might yet (I hope
not) take a spot from J. F. Quintin, who has much better potential.  Any
chance of Larionov coming back?

I've been saying for a while that the Stevens-Lemieux-Tocchett line is
the best line I've seen in a while (even better than the Donato-Ciavaglia-
Vukonich line at Harvard!).  Next comes Mogilny-Lafontaine-Hawerchuk for
Buffalo.  And I think that Quebecs top line, whoever exactly is on it,
may well be one of the best lines in the league.  Sundin-Kamensky-Nolan
really looked good at the end of last year; Sakic-Kamensky-Nolan could
very well be just as good.  And Ricci can run wild as a second line center;
he could be up there with Fedorov and Francis.

Subject: Five FLYERS Preseason Observations
Date: 28 Sep 92 15:06:44 GMT
Organization: The Cellar BBS and public access system

Five Observations on the FLYERS Preseason
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

1. I think Eric Lindros is going to make the team.

2. Dimitri Yushkevich has a lot of balls wearing Mark Howe's number, but
   he seems to have the skills to back it up.  This 20-year-old rookie
   defenseman from Russia plays great defense, shows a good sense for
   strategic playmaking, and has a hard shot from the point.  Yushkevich,
   I believe, will become one of the FLYERS' key players.

3. Dominic Roussel's puck-handling seems to have improved, which is good,
   because it needed a lot of work.  I guess hanging around with Bernie
   Parent all summer has had a positive effect.

4. The Flyers have a superb core of big, young, talented centers.  Lindros
   is 19.  Brind'Amour and Butsayev are both 22.  Keith Acton is something
   like 32, but he's as quick and fearless as ever, and shows no signs of
   slowing down...so I guess they'll keep the old fossil around awhile
   too.

5. It's funny to see Dave Brown in the preseason.  He isn't there to
   impress anyone with skills, or work out plays with his linemates, so
   in the Devils game he found somebody to beat up.  I guess everyone
   prepares for the season differently.

Tikkanen is (or was) healthy...but I haven't gone to the local bookstore to
browse the sports pages from last weeks Edmonton Journal(s) yet to see if he
is scoring at all.

The transition should be an easy one for Gaudreau.  He spent his first 3
years at PC playing wing on the famed BBG Line with Rick Bennett and Mike
Boback.  All three ended up among PC's all-time leading scorers.  Bennett
is with NYR and Boback is in the Caps' system.  However, Gaudreau used to be
a defenseman in high school and was always recognized as one of the top
defensive forwards in Hockey East.  Last year, his senior year, Providence
was in need of some help on the blue line and so Gaudreau converted back
to defense a few games into the year to help out, quite an unselfish move.  

He tended to be paired with a more defensive partner so as to take
advantage of his offensive capabilities and often played up front on the
power play because he was so deadly with the puck.  He is PC's 3rd
all-time leading scorer and the only Friar ever to go over 100 goals and
100 assists for his career.  Although I'm not a PC fan, he was one of the
opposing players I most enjoyed watching (up there with BU's Amonte and
McEachern and BC's Leetch and Greg Brown), and I think Sharks fans will enjoy
him too.

It is as if the ball has passed over the backline. (i.e. 16 yard hit, 
or a long corner if the ball touches an opposing team members stick).
To score a goal the ball must touch a member of the attacking teams'
stich inside the circle.
