The only reason I've heard for this is that it was "in the league's best 
interests to have Disney" in the family.  The NHL might have given a team to 
Disney it wants this so bad.

Tampa may get something from Miami because Tampa had some sort of a Florida-
TV exclusive deal and, obviously, Miami will be on the tube.  I have no idea 
what this exclusive TV thing is all about, though.

NHL NEWS FOR 20 DECEMBER 1992:


FLYERS, SHARKS COMPLETE TRADE:

The PHILADELPHIA FLYERS dealt left wing MARK PEDERSON to the SAN JOSE
SHARKS in exchange for right wing DAVE SNUGGERUD.  In addition, the
Flyers sent center LEN BARRIE to Hershey of the American Hockey
League.


KENNEDY PUT ON PROBATION:

DETROIT RED WINGS forward SHELDON KENNEDY was placed on a year's
probation and fined $635 for reckless driving in a plea bargain that
reduced a drunk-driving charge.  Kennedy was charged with DWI after
passing a car on an interstate shoulder at 70 MPH on 18 September.  His
blood-alcohol level was 0.14 percent, more than the 0.10 legal limit.
He apologized to Judge Anthony Nicita for the offense.

It would be nice to get the last career mark that's sitting there for the
taking - goals. One more good season could be enough. The single season
marks will someday all be broken - some sooner than later - but the
career records could stand a VERY long time.

Maine freshman LW Paul Kariya leads the nation in scoring with 13-36--49 
in 16 games.  Kariya is undrafted as he just turned 18 in October.  He
will play for Team Canada at the World Juniors in Sweden, the second
straight year he has represented Canada at the Juniors.  He will miss
several Maine games because of the Juniors, but at his current pace and
depending on how far Maine goes in the playoffs, he could break the all-time
single season college scoring record which was set by North Dakota's Tony
Hrkac (116 pts) in 1986-87.  This kid is one of the greatest freshmen I
have ever seen play and the pro scouts are drooling over him.

Yeah, no question that Houston would have been better than Anaheim. As you
said, the league wanted to make sure they got new owners with enough cash to
remain in the game. Texas could get a team after 1995 if all goes well.
BTW, what city should it be - Houston or Dallas? I'd choose Houston
because they've had countless minor-league teams since the 1960s, including the
short-lived but successful Aeros WHA team. Hockey seems to be a relatively
unknown sport in the Dallas area.

I can tell you that-- I know that hockey is inherently less dangerous
than football.  However, to the average non-fan, hockey is a
fight-infested game where people try to maim each other.  Oh yeah, it
has something to do with goals, too, but that is secondary to
decapitation with the stick.  I was trying to be satirical when I

I read an article in a Toronto newspaper (either the Star or the Globe

in TB this season. I chuckled...

Apparently, he dawned a baseball cap, some grubby streetclothes and a 
false set of teeth and stood outside of his own dressing room collecting 
autographs. His own teammates didn't even recognize him.

When Terry Crisp stumbled by, I guess Kontos started babbling about 
how great he thought the team was, and that he should "play that
Kontos guy a lot more." Crisp just kept nodding and saying "Yeah, yeah."

Then Kontos stepped into the dressing room (still in disguise), and
undoubtedly got some strange reactions before (and after) he removed
his disguise.

And Mexico City has a population over 20 million, growing at 750000 a year.
So then Mexico should get a team before LA gets a second one?

Raw population is not sufficient to draw interest - Calgary, with a pop.
of 800 000, outdraws Chicago, with a population of what, ten million?

 Penalties: Sweden 5*2min, Russia 4*2min
 Referee: Gerd Muller, Germany
 Attendance: 6,000

 The game wasn't broadcasted on TV so I can only report what the papers
 are saying. 
 It was Russia's equalizing goal that was doubtful. Some person threw in
 an extra puck, so there were two pucks in play. The Swedish players at
 the bench tried to get the referee's attention by shouting loudly.
 What happened? Yes, the German referee decided to penalize the Swedish
 team for shouting too much!! And in the Russian power play, the 3-3 goal  
 was scored.
 Last time this happened to a Swedish team was at the '85 WJHC in Alaska,
 when a Soviet player brought his "own" puck into the game, and scored a 
 goal. A goal that led to a Soviet WHJC gold medal.
 Another incident that the German referee totally missed was a vicious
 slash by 22-year old, 280 lbs. Russian Lindros-copy, Gomoliako, right
 across the face of Fredrik Nilsson (who was/is not wearing a visor).

 The Russians scored 3 goals in 3 minutes and 50 seconds in the third
 period which turned out to be the deciding factor in the game.
 The Swedes had a couple of good scoring opportunities on a 5-on-3
 power play late in the third, but without any success.

 The line with Jan Larsson, Patrik Juhlin and Stefan Nilsson was Sweden's
 best.

Lessee...Miami gets a franchise for $50 million, Anaheim gets one for
$25 million, and yet, it will cost Hamilton $100 million?  Pray tell,
why, Gerald?  If Hamilton were to walk into NHL offices with a cheque
for $50 million US and received any worse treatment than Anaheim and
Miami, I'd say something stunk bigtime.  

I would agree with you that the NHL isn't going to go out of its way to
PUT a team in Hamilton, but if they acted just like Disney, why couldn't
they get a franchise?

Subject: What a game! Devils beat Pens 2-1.

One of the better games I've (partially) seen in a long time as the New Jersey
Devils defeated the Penguins 2-1 last night in Jersey.  Terreri was incredible
and Barrasso was tough on the other side, too.  Terreri by far was the No. 1
star and Barrasso was No. 2.  The Penguins got on the board first, but the
Devils came back to tie and took the lead 2-1 on a shorthanded goal - something
that used to always haunt the Penguins in previous years on the road and it did
tonight.  Something always haunts the Penguins in Jersey - the Pens broke that
tradition for a few games, but now the shorthanded goal and the fantastic goal-
tending of Terreri enabled the Devils to win it.
   I say partially saw the game because ESPN switched over at the conclusion of
the Flyers-Wings game.  (Once again, ESPN got another poor game - a Wings
blowout.  If they would've picked this one, as I asked days ago, they would
have picked an incredible game.)  Mike Lange was so excited for both teams and
was more than fair, being unbiased towards both sides.  Steigerwald was quiet
though.  It seemed to me like he was like, "Huh?  We're on ESPN now?  I'm not
saying anything.  Don't make me speak!!!"
   I called it a semi must win for the Devils because the Pens now lead the 9
game series, 3-1.  Had the Penguins would've won, they would have gone up 4-0
with a chance to win it tonight.  Now the Devils can get back in it.  I doubt
we'll see as good as a game tonight due to travel and both teams going all out
last night.  I'd say this one will probably be a shootout, which we give the
Pens the advantage, especially since the Penguins were held to just one goal
last night despite several great shots..on both sides my both teams.
   Game 5 already - Pens and Devils at the Igloo at 7:40 p.m.
   In San Jose, Sundin goes for 31 straight games with a point.  (This
shouldn't be too difficult!!!) And, it would put him in 4th place alone
for the longest scoring streaks of all time.

in the same division!).
