My original statement was meant more in jest that in reality, but the fact is
that the league should know that players like Ulf, Dale Hunter, Chris Nilan,
etc. do intentionally try to injure opposing players.  In their minds they
may not be thinking "I can end this guys career"... they probably think "if
I knock him on his butt he wont be as willing to score a goal on us again."
But the problem is that injury is an effect of their philosphy and the
NHL is far too lenient on players like them, and it leads to people wanting
revenge.  I still remember when a reliable source told me that Chris Nilan
had a hunk of a player's hair taped to his locker... hair that he ripped out
during a playoff game.  Gotta love players like that....

Well he may be in the bench area, but based on the Pens v Sabres game the
other night, he doesn't actually SIT on the bench.

My seat is right beside the glass and Hasek "sat" on the end of the bench
beside me.  However, he spent the majority of the evening standing up and
leaning over the boards.  Thus he blocked everyone near me from seeing play at
the other end of the ice (creating many screaming fans).

On the positive side, I now have some good close-up photos of Hasek :-) and he
was entertaining to "talk" to during the game.

A few more notes from the Flames:

First round draft choice Cory Stillman was returned to his OHL junior team,
the Windsor Spitfires. This move was necessary as Stillman had not signed a
contract by the deadline of Tuesday midnight. Windsor promptly traded him to
the Peterborough Petes.

Defenceman Francois Groleau was returned to the Shawinigan Cataractes of the
QMJHL, but will remain in Calgary until he recovers from a broken wrist
suffered in training camp.

Bryan Deasley was sent home to Michigan from Salt Lake City while his status
within the organization is evaluated. Deasley, the Flames' first round pick in
1988, has been in Salt Lake for four years and has never played an NHL game. It
appears as though he has exhausted his opportunities with the Flames.

The Flames returned center Todd Harkins to Salt Lake, where he played last
year. He will likely be the first player recalled in event of injury.

And Calgary acquired high-scoring winger Patrick Lebeau from the Montreal
Canadiens for future considerations and assigned him to Salt Lake as well.
Lebeau played for the silver-medal winning Canadian Olympic team.

So what the deal with this Kontos guy??!!!??

How can a player be in the league for 7 years and get all of his goals
in 1 playoff season and 1 game?  Did he have a serious injury?  A drug
problem?  Play in the minors most of the time?

Can anyone enlighten me?

Here's what was worth remembering from Stan's Gossip last night:

* Pat Burns backed down from a fight with Sylvain Turgeon last year.
Apparently, the ex-cop then-Habs coach got a faceful of snow from
Turgeon's blade during a rinkside interview after practice (gee, why
didn't Turgeon do so well with a puck then? -- gld) and went ape in
front of everybody.  Turgeon asked Burns if he "wanted to go" but
Pat got a grip on himself ...

* Glen Sather is about to walk out on the Oilers because he has long
soured on owner Peter Pocklington ...  Sather keeps rigging the team
with lower-salaried players out of his magic hat, and Pocklington
keeps hounding him to lower the team's salary load even further ...
now faced with unloading Kevin Lowe because he's making the same
money as Steve Konroyd (of the Blackhawks?), Sather is fed up ...

Nothing else that Stan said stuck in my mind the morning after ...

gld

PS: The Devils' pregame show was a half-hour long last night; dunno
if this will remain the case all season and/or with the Islanders.

With all the drama gone, why watch the rest of the season?  Then again, you 
have to wonder if they'll do the same thing with the HOME jerseys.  Now 
THERE'S a reason to buy up seats for Friday's home-opener, and I hear 
there's plenty.

I don't know Abe, it's beginning to look a lot like the Bush campaign out

It's not just that he didn't like their city.  Eric Lindros offended them.
Also, he prevented them from getting the huge amount of attention that they
would have gotten with a star like him on their team.  Sure, he has a right
to dislike their town, but they also have a right to dislike anyone who
expresses that much of a disdain for their home.

I wasn't too pleased when a Texan here at Princeton called Philadelphia a
"shit city," and I am sure you don't like hearing people say stuff like
"Pittsburgh is a real pit."  It just doesn't make you feel friendly toward
the person.

By the way, I am glad Lindros is in a town he likes.  I am not Lindros bashing.
My own opinion is that there was simply no way for both Quebec and Lindros 
to come out of a situation like this happy and liking each other.

Well, I think that while LA's team lost talent from last year
to this year, the Jets and Calgary (maybe Edmonton) have
improved their team.  Thus, if LA plays at last years level 
they'll end up in a race for last place.

With the recent signing of Glen Wesley, the Bruin's are about as deep as
they've been in a long time in defense and other positions.  Granted left
wing is still a glaring problem.  Just hope the young guys can make it

* Kontos' 2 goals help Lightning tie

Chris Kontos scored two goals, and Brian Bradley add the tying goal with 4:13
left in regulation as the Tampa Bay Lightning earned a 4-4 tie with the Chicago
Blackhawks on Sunday Night.

Kontos, who had four goals Wednesday when the Lightning routed Chicago, 7-3,
in its NHL debut, connected twice in the second period to tie the score at 3.

The Blackhawks went ahead at 1:08 of the third on their third power-play goal,
a 55-foot slap shot from Jeremy Roenick.

But Bradley beat Ed Belfour from just outside the crease to give the Lightning
(1-1-1) its third point in two games against Chicago.

Kontos' first goal, a 20-footer under Belfour's pads at 12:55 of the middle
period following a giveaway, tied the score at 2.

Defenseman Igor Kravchuk beat Pat Jablonski with a long slap shot at 14:57,
but Kontos capitalized on another giveaway withh a 15-foot backhander at 15:37.

Tampa Bay's Basil McRae broke his left leg in the second period fighting with
Stu Grimson.

Coxe spent virtually all of last season with the Kansas City Blades.  He was
cut early from the Sharks roster, and was "reassigned."  I believe this meant
that he was eventually released, since no mentioning has been made since then
about him going to Kansas City or anywhere else.

	Historicly, except for the past few years, Hockey Players did NOT
make alot of money. I'm not saying that they would be willing to do this for
FREE, but 42 MILLION DOLLARS. Give me a break! NOBODY is worth THAT kind of
money, including "Super Mario"!!!!!
