Gee, I guess I've been out of it for a while.  When did they change the
name?  I remember it as the Emory Edge award when Emory was the 'official'
courier of the NHL and were responsible for moving the hardware (trophies)
around.
I guess that the old +/- award will be one that will always changing names

Chelios probably closed his hand on the puck.  What kind of penalty was it?  If it was an unsportsmanlike, then the act of throwing the puck was deemed unappropriate by the ref.  If it was something else, then it would be for closing your hand on the puck.  Usually, that would be whistled down as a gloved pass.

I think everyone forgot about a 500+ career goal scorer by the name of
Michel Goulet.  500 goals is the benchmark for potential hall of famers,
just like 500Hr's, 3,000 hits or 300 wins are benchmarks in baseball and
20,000 points is the benchmark for basketball.  I believe all members of
the 500 club is in the hall of fame(excluding active players).

Actually, I think the incident is the one involving linesman Paul Assiltine (sp?)
where the fan got on the ice from one corner and was making his way toward the
referee and players in the other corner.  Before he got there, Assiltine came
flying in from the blueline and drilled the fan from behind and sent him
head first into the boards.  I'm surprised that the fan was able to walk away!
I know Assiltine was dicisplined by the NHL (actually it was a slap on the
wrist - a token one game suspension - and told him next time to run the guy
from the top of the circle instead of the blue line).  However, I am 
curious to hear the results of any lawsuit.

	(cough, cough)
	I think you might ask Murray if he'd trade Yzerman for Stevens in 
a minute. I'm sure he'd *think* about it. Probably he *should* do it. But it
isn't as if the Wings are exactly scrambling to unload Yzerman...I think the
Wings are much more likely to trade "prospects" or second-tier players for
a lesser number of first-rate guys. As well they should. They've got a hell
of a lot of talent playing on the third and fourth lines, riding the bench, 
sitting in the press box, and stuck in Adirondack. Primeau, Kennedy, Sillinger,
Tancill, Drake, Kozlov, Shuchuk (way spelled wrong), and so on may or may not
turn out to be decent players, but we'll never know if they're playing 10 
minutes a game.
	And they're so hard up for a tough defenseman that they're rotating
Dollas and Vial from time to time. Ugh.

Well, up here (Vancouver), The box scores are pretty much the way you say you
would like them... A complete summary of penalties for every period, more
descriptive box scores, as well as a summary of about the top 25 in scoring.
(If there is space, team and individual goaltending is included).
Of course, this is because, due to greater interest in hockey up here, 
the paper dedicates an entire page (or more) to the hockey scores every day.
On the other hand, sports like basketball get only a small corner and no

The commonality between these two postings is that hockey is treated
as a second-tier sport.  ESPN's coverage is awkward for the Mountain
and Pacific time zones, but at least a lot of people there will GET
SOME hockey.  SportsChannel (and Prime) is inconsistent because it 
is composed of regional affiliates each with local commitments rather
than having a true network (SportsChannel America is their source for
basic filler material to put into empty slots ... why we have Michigan
football pep rally shows every few weeks on SportsChannel New York is
otherwise unexplainable).  What happened in the Bay Area was similiar
to what happened in my area when there was a single SportsChannel New
York channel without a second SportsChannel America slot, the previous
year: Islanders and Devils were out, and in an early season game the
Mets engaged in a record 15 inning game while the Kings and Canucks
were doing a barn-burner in Vancouver.

>ESPN wouldn't think of doing anything that moronic.

I don't know ... I had just arrived for grad school the last year of
the prior ESPN contract, and when their playoff game of the evening
was over, that was it.  No cutovers to finish other games in Eastern
or Central time zones, nor double-headers with a Smythe game.  That
is my biggest fear for this year's playoffs on ESPN.  Those of us
who did have a decent SC (with two channels (-;) got saturation
coverage ... it was, as they say, pig heaven.

Unless Quebec fans are more unbalanced than the rest of North America,
I believe that the incident you recall was Quebec vs Buffalo, and that
the fan jumped the glass, landed in the Buffalo bench.  Rob Ray then
set to punching the fan into oblivion (you could see the stars and
canaries just like in the Warner Bros. cartoons).  The fan was
arrested. I'd heard he was going to sue, but decided not to because he
didn't belong on the ice in the first place and that pretty much took

fan was highly intoxicated, and jumped the boards on a dare.  The
referee didn't do much but escort the fan off the ice to waiting
security officers, though.

Well, I gotta tell ya,

the game last night (Jan 26) at the
Gardens ended with mixed feeling for me.

The first 10 min was all Minnesota and I am
thinking <What's going on!!>. But after that
the leafs played pretty decent. In fact
in the last 10 min it was all Leafs and it 
was pretty exciting hockey. I thought for sure
that Toronto would tie. :-(

All I could think about through most of the 
game while watching Gilmore get roughed up by
the goon on the other team wearing the "C" on his
jersy whos name I won't mention was...
if Wendel was only playing, I could watch as he...
<censored>.

All in all the Leafs played average and you stll
had to give Potvin credit. The Minnesota goaltending
was superb (or he was playing with a rabbit's foot up 
his butt) ;-)  And Macoun's goal was excellent.

Hope they are better against the N.Y.R. on Sat.
