Well, this seems to favor my point that hockey viewing will not be
much better with ESPN...cause hockey is still very regional. I don't
think hockey will get many more viewers than last year...but I hope
I'm wrong.

The other way to look at this is that the Patrick has the largest
population/viewer base.
The City, The Island, NJ and Philly must be 10% of the US population.
Kinda like why Toronto is on HNIC all the time.

SC NY is advertising the opener...NYI vs NJD if I recall right.
They are also advertising "Baseballs greatest games" starting Oct. 26th.

cheers ...and enjoy the season.

Hi all.

Recently I've been talking with Bri Farenell about the possibility of
having an AHL mailing list. I'd be willing to set up the list here, but
I need to know:

a) How many people would be interested.
b) Can someone keep some sort of archive of old posts? I have little to
no room for keeping old posts around.

Anyhow, if you are interested, send mail to: db74+ahl@andrew.cmu.edu

	Do you think that the result in '72 would have been different
if a particular NHL team had played the Soviets?  The defending
Stanley Cup champions for example, which was Montreal that year, yes?

	Obviously one particular NHL team would not be sent to the
Olympics this for Lillehammer or any Olympic games, but suppose they
were.  Would that team win?  Assuming again that team is the defending
Stanley Cup champs.

Mario Lemieux said yesterday night in a Montreal radio station that he

contract will give him between 40 and 42 millions, as he said!
He also said that this will probably be his last contract. He announced
also that he will get married and will be father for the first 
time next summer.
    Mario said that he's not hurt (to his back) anymore. He's just hope
that this hurt will not come back. If so, he will think about retirement
if the pain would not leave...

Wow!6 millions per year!!!Do the Penguins can aford that?If so, where will
they find the money to pay Jagr when he'll gets old. The Pen's lost money
last year apparently...

Ah, what a difference winning the Cup makes.  I seem to remeber last November
and December when you had a LOT of problems with Scotty  being the coach.
You, and a lot of others.  "His style just doesn't mesh with the Pens
personalities" you all said.  Myself, and a few others, insisted that Mr.
Bowman had forgotten more about hockey than any of us would ever know, and
that the Pens' mid-season slump had absolutely nothing to do with Bowman.

Anyway, Lori, don't deride other Pens fans for having problems with Bowman being
the coach when you yourself were (not too long ago) one of them.

How could I forget...

In my previous FLYERS notes I failed to mention that Eric got into his
first NHL scuffle. Wasn't much of a battle really. Eric was in front of
the Lightning bench when a TBL player I can't remember gave him a good
check that sent him into the boards and a little off balance. Joe Reekie
then made the mistake of thinking he would finish the job, and tried to
dump Eric the rest of the way onto the TBL bench. But Eric quickly
righted himself and dropped the gloves. Reekie followed suit, but had
the sense to try to just hold on for dear life. No luck! Eric broke
Reekie's grip, one shot to the helmet, uppercut to the face, punch to
the side of the head, and Reekie was dropping down to get out of the way.
The refs then quickly broke it up.

5 minutes apiece. Who says fighting is gone in the NHL...:-)

Manon only played 20 minutes in Junior and she let in I think 3 or 4 goals.
She also got beaned in the head and had to have a couple of stitches.
Everybody says that she has suprised people, but can she REALLY play in the
NHL?  I dunno, you have to be REALLY good to be a goalie in the league, you
can't be some goon or tough guy who's only asset is that he's strong.  I have
yet to see footage of her play (I only saw 3 video clips on the sport news
of that game with St.Louis, this really isn't very much to base a true opinion
on), but could it be that everyone's just suprised that she's playing better
than what people would have expected from a girl?Not from an NHL caliber
goalie?
   As for her future, she's going to accept the Lightning's offer of a
minor league contract.  I also read in the paper that she wants to be a

I've been a New Jersey Devils fan for ohhh about 3 or 4 years maybe even since they came into the league.  I'm not even sure why, probably because they're a team with heart.  Even if they are in last and they are playing the first place team in the playoffs they'll give that team a run for there money.  Case in point against NYR last year and Pittsburgh the year before.  I'm a little dissapointed with their weakness at centre ice but I still think they're in contention for 2nd or maybe even 1st place in th



e Patrick division.  I'd also like to say that Stephan Richer is a BIG floater and why they ever traded Kirk Muller for him I'll never know..he doesn't fit the teams apparent motto: dig dig dig, and maybe we'll score..

it counts.


1. Buffalo:

	Such talent. LaFontaine, Mogilny, LaFontaine, Hawerchuk, Andreychuk,
   and did I mention LaFontaine. If they get it together, they'll take this 
   group with ease.

2. Quebec

	Goin' out on a limb here. Against all public and private opinion.
   But I think they can do it, given they fully utilize their Flyers....I
   mean their players. The Flyers will be running on one piston(a nice one, 
   tho.) while the Nordiques can become at least moderately triumphant.

3. Boston

	Always a contender given their lineup. If only I could believe that
   Cam would hold out all season, and of course Raymond and Andy M. (old but
   holding out all right).

4. Montreal 

	Will easily take third if the Bruins can't maintain their players 
   healthy conditions. Have Denis and Damphousse. Good potential, but how will 
   use it???

5. Hartford

	Everybody's favorite loser( well, not EVERYbody's). They got the players
   and the possibility, but after the poor results from Cullen, I don't know....

6. Ottawa

	Please.
