assistant: It *really* becomes a joke when you compare it to Claude Lemieux's
suspension last year.. (it'd be cool if someone could remind me of what it
was, but I know it wasn't as severe as this one)
Let's look at the respective injuries..
Kris Draper:  Need serious facial surgery to repair the massive damage he
received.  Still, to this day, needs to wear a retainer to bed at night and
occasionally experiences numbness on the left(?) side of his face.
Jim Kelly:  A ripped shirt and a bruised ego.
Wish one of the reporters at the press conference had brought it up..
would've like to see Bettman weasel his way out of that little comparison..

assistant: No doubt about that. What Lemieux got for suspension is probably the
worst. Lemieux deliberately injured Kraper and he should have gotten the
same time Draper gone from the Red Wing's lineup or even more. I am
beginning to think that NHL reegarding suspension is inconsistent.
I feel sorry for Draper. I hope NHL brass opens their eyes soon. If the
injuries is severe as Draper's injury and was deliberately, a player
should get more than 20 games suspension to scare other players in doing
the same thing.
What's next??? I wonder what could happen if Gretzky or Mario Lemeiux
did what Hasek did to Kelley. Do you think those two will get a
suspension? Just a thought.....

If the league wanted someone to win, it would be Los Angeles Lakers.
You have to admit that the Utah Jazz is way better team than the Lakers.
I don't think Shaq attack alone can beat the Jazz unless the other
players such Campbell, Horry, Van Exel, Bryant and the others decided to
wake up and play basketball again.  Anyways, Good Luck on your Lakers.

oh yeah, i'm not disagreeing the Jazz are a helluva team.. haven't stockton
and malone only missed like 15-20 games between them their whole career?? I
mean they are both cream of the crop, hall of famers.
But last night, game 2 of the series if anyone saw, Nick got FOULED well
hacked by Karl Malone on a three point shot with time running out, basically
a one shot situation, and the refs didn't call it, very foul, and Malone
laughed at it after the game?!?!?!?
if the situation were reversed Malone may of knocked the ref out and got the
call reversed :)..
But we are a top team of the future, i hate to ever say a dispairing word
against the Lakers but, even if we do get out of this and get to the Finals,
the Bulls are gonna take it, I mean what can you do against Mike?!?! The man
just wins and is the greatest and i really don't see them missing anything

Write your reply.

assistant: As long as Malone and Stockton are still playing, the Jazz will be okay.
Referee in every league has been inconsistenet.  The reason why Malone
was laughing was because he knows he got away with something. I don't
think it was his fault.  Most referee doesn't want to be the reason one
team wins so they either pretend they didn't see anything or they just
missed the call and don't want to second guess the decision.
No, I don't think so. Malone's got class.
I don't doubt that the Lakers will be the team in the future, but in
order for that to happen, they have to get rid of some lazy players and
replaced them that can help Shaq.
I hear ya!!! The Bulls will be the team to beat. I am a Bulls' fan
before Jordan ever came to the league. The Bulls is still not clicking
on all cylinders yet. Kukoc is still in neutral due to his injuries
before, while Rodman is still an angel. Jordan and Pippen need I say
more. I always think that the only weakness Bull's have is their center.
But as long as they are doing their job, they'll be fine.
You mean, you are from Houston and you cheer for the Lakers??? Was it
the Laker's girls???  Man, I used to like the Lakers because of those
girls. :) hahahaha!!
TTYl Chris!!! Good luck on your Lakers!!!! Hope Shaq decide to start
kicking butts!!!

Write your reply.

assistant: Second round is already half way done. It looks like the Detroit Red
Wings, Colorado Avalanche, Philadelphia Flyers, and possibly the New
York Rangers if the referees can't fix it, who can. will be the Final
Four. The first three team that I mentioned I think was a shooin, while
the Rangers with the referees on their side will be probably beat the
Devils.
Well, it looks like the goal crease rules is starting to annoy a lot of
people. By the way, is there a rule that only a referee can call a Video
replay, not Messier? I am sorry to say this, but I still think Bettman
and company wanted a perfect playoffs with all three plus the Rangers.
He thinks this will attract more fans if those 4 will be in the Final
Four. I just don't think the Rangers deserves to be there if they are
going to win with referee's help. Anyways, I still think this will the
Flyers or the Red Wings year.  I am rooting for my red Wings though.
GO WINGS GO!!!!!

Fisherpersons will work too. (Sorry about the tag but there is no single
