	How about a line of Todd Krygier-Mike Ridley-Peter Bondra.
And if you want to add defensemen,  Al Iafrate and Calle Johansson are  
speedsters to.  Bondra outraced Krygier by a stride in the Capitals skills  
competition one year ago.  Dec. 30 is the next annual skills competition  
so we'll see what happens.

Subject: Housley trade rumours (to the Wings)
Date: Sat, 12 Dec 92 11:17:35 EST
Organization: University of Michigan Engineering, Ann Arbor
Distribution: na

Does anyone have any info about the latest rounds of the "Wings need 
another defenseman" saga?  My local paper seems to have Housley
ands Aaron Ward (a draft pick of the Wings, another defenseman who
plays hockey at Michigan), for (take your pick of permutations and 
combinations) Ysebaert/Primeau/Burr/Chiasson. 

It seems pretty clear at this point of the season that if the Wings are
to be legitimate contenders, they need another tough defemseman, 
preferably one with  the kind of offensive skills that Housley has. During 
yesterday telecast of the Wings/Flyers game, someone mentioned a very 
interesting statistic: the Wings are 3/37 on the powere play in the 
7 games that Howe has missed - hence, someone like Housley would 
be a great addition, both as a point man on the power play, and 
as a kind of model to the other defensemen, esp. Konstantinov and 
Lidstrom. I wonder what the Wings will have to give up for him, though -
defensemen don't come cheap, as we have seen. 

A couple of more questions :anyone out there know how old Housley is ?
 
What about the Zalapski to Wings rumours?

That's great news for San Jose.  I have to agree though that the Sharks
have to be worried about making it until 1995.    They could not fill
their arena of under 11,000 seats even for a visit by Mario Lemieux and
the Penguins.   I read that Sharks management believes that this is
due to the novelty of the team wearing off and the poor home record.

The Sharks are on pace to do worse than last year.  This was expected as
they got rid of a lot of their veteran players to let the youngsters
develop.  It remains to be seen how patient Bay Area fans, who in the
first place, are not for the most part rabid hockey fans, will be.
This area does not support losers for long.

Fortunately, for the team, very little attention has been paid to it,
so there aren't a lot of calls to radio talk shows or letters to the editor
screaming for new management, coaches, and/or players.  At best, the
Sharks are the 5th most popular sports franchise, and may even trail
Stanford football, Cal football, and Cal basketball in popularity.  At
least, the fans talk a lot more about the college sports.  On the other
hand, this may also mean that there is not a lot of support for hockey
in the Bay Area.

And "proved" that by proving a point that he can shoot himself in the foot.

But aren't the Senators younger than the Lightning?  I don't have current
team rosters, so I'll just play lazy and compare the age of the top 10 scorers
on each team:

Senators			Lightning

Norm MacIver		28	Brian Bradley		27
Sylvain Turgeon		27	Chris Kontos		29
Jamie Baker		26	Doug Crossman		32
Jody Hull		23	John Tucker		28
Neil Brady		24	Rob Zamuner		23
Brad Shaw		28	Adam Creighton		27
Mike Peluso		27	Rob DiMaio		24
Andrew McBain		27	Bob Beers		25
Tomas Jelinek		??	Mikael Andersson	26
Mark Lamb		29	Marc Bureau		26
(Mark Freer		24)

Using Freer instead of Jelinek, whose age I don't know, you get an average of
26.3 years for the Senators vs. 26.7 for the Lightning.  But the Lightning
also have long-toothed players such as Rob Ramage (33) and Steve Kasper (31),
while the Senators' version of those players (Doug Smail (35) and Ken
Hammond (29)) don't play anywhere close to the time that Ramage, Kasper,
Kontos, and Crossman are piling up.

I read in today's newspaper that Manon is scheduled to get the start tonight
in the Knights game in Atlanta vs Salt Lake. This is to be her first action
in a game since her "tryout" with the Lightning in Sept. The opportunity
for her comes from Tampa calling up the Knights #1 goalie and Littman
having played 2 games in the last 3 days. 

The game is being broadcast 
on SportsSouth network(possible pickup by Prime Network) at 7pm
eastern time. 

If I have time (finals you know) I'll post a summary if anyone wants to know
about her performance.

Actually, Hamilton had an NHL team in the early half of the Century.
(I believe they were called the Hamilton Tigers.) They were a successful
team; however, there was a dispute between the players and management
(Hamilton players weren't being paid for extra games), the players
went on strike, and as a result the management moved the team to
NY State. (It was unfortunate, since they had a good chance at winning
the Cup that year.)

Hey, I think the "California Quakes" would be cool.   They could 
install sensurround in the rink too for when the team scores a goal!

No.  The Florida Panther is a subspecies of your basic western mountain lion/
cougar.  The big cats were once spread over all of NA, but as man trampled
across the continent, the cats were forced west, leaving an enclave in Florida.

I'd take the Miami Panthers as a name... or how about Stingrays?
Still like Anaheim Diablos.  I don't think Amigos would go over, that stupid
hat on the old ABA logo would look fruity on an NHL jersey.
