Joe Mullen is very seldom on Lemieux's line.

This year, Mario's RW has been Rick Tocchet adn sometimes Jagr.

Mullen has spent most of his time on Francis' right wing.

	Right on. I have seen the Leafs down and out in games, but Wendel hits
a couple of people, gets the fans and the Leafs back in the game. You look at
Wendels linemates in Pearson and Cullen. Pearson developed a mean streak and
likes the physical action. Pearson is like Clark in that he has a wicked shot
and a mean attitude. Cullen, despite being a small guy, has become physical
by hitting a few people and going into skirmshes. Both these players know that
Wendel will be there if the going gets rough and they play better because of
this. In fact all the Leafs are standing up for each other. Anderson become
much more rougher and Gilmour hits a few times himself. Wendel may not score
many points, but he is the heart and soul of the team. He stands up for his
teammates and they look up to him when the going gets bad and rough. Trading
him would be wrong, in that the player in return would not be as tough and
the Leafs would lose that confidence that somebody will be there if they get
into trouble. A players worth can't be measured by points alone. Its measured
by guts, courage and toughness. Something most players in the N.H.L. are 
lacking.

and dub the song "Be our Guest" over it...I can see it now...


"Beeeeeeee ooouuurr GUEST!" (somebody gets nailed into the boards)

Perhaps I should support the idea I brought to Marcus' head. If it is 
profitable to bring two teams to Europe for one pre-season exhibition game
there should be no financial obstacles for bringing one team to play three or
four games. If the Stanley Cup champions were not interested any team 
from NHL would be better than nothing.

This kind of tournament could take place at one arena. Surely at least one of 
the European teams taking part would be more than willing to host such games if
London or Paris don't seem good enough. And then again the North American team
could take a tour visiting every European team at their home arenas.   

There is no doubt at least some interest for this kind of tournament here in
Europe. Somehow I feel that most North American fans couldn't care less. Please
tell me how wrong I am.

I'd take Clark on my team anyday. His only fault is that he is injury
prone. We works hard every night, he can score, and he can hit. He
ALWAYS plays well against the Habs, which really gets under my skin, but
that is the type of player he is: Hate him while he plays for another
team, but love him while he plays on ours. The best hit I ever saw was
one he put on Guy Carbonneau last season. The hit was totally clean and
Carbonneau actually missed a few games after that.

I don't know about the 1934 game, but the "First All-Star Game" in 1947
pitted the Maple Leafs against the stars of the other five teams. The
Leafs' Harry Watson (from Wild Bill Ezinicki) scored at 12:29 of the
first period. The first all-star to score was Max Bentley.

The penalty shot was introduced during the 1934-35 season. Scotty Bowman
(not _that_ Scotty Bowman) was the first to score (against Alex Connell
of the Montreal Maroons). But I don't know if that was the first shot.
[Actually, the penalty shot was used in other amateur and pro leagues
before it was incorporated into the NHL.]
The first WHA penalty shot was scored by Bill Hicke against Les Binkley
(during the first game, I think).

I get really pissed off when I see people knocking the Brett Hull trade. First
of all, you haven't even got the trade right. It was Hull and Steve Bozek
for Wamsley and Rob Ramage. Gilmour came to Calgary with Mark Hunter for Mike
Bullard and another nobody. 

Now, the facts. Hull was a lazy whiner who couldn't check his grandmother when 
he played in Calgary. Not to mention that Ramage and Wamsley played key roles 
in Calgary's 1989 Cup win. How many Stanley Cups does Brett Hull have? None. 
He has never even lead the Blues out of their division in the playoffs. Sorry,
but until Hull proves he is a winner, there is no doubt that the Flames won
that trade because they acquired two winners who made significant contributions
to Calgary, something that Hull has yet to do for St Louis.
