Note that this ominous prospect is fueled by the fact that various SC and Prime outlets are wholly or partly owned by local NHL owners. When/If Cablevision VP Chuck Dolan's purchase of the Islanders goes through, the Islanders will be back solidly in the SCNY fold (their original owners were, and they've remained due to a lucrative TV contract).  The Flyer Snyders own the Philadelphia SC as well as the Prism pay channel.  There are six teams affiliated with regional SC's, another half dozen affiliated with Prime outlets, and other locals like HTS and NESN who have barter arrangements.  With all this cross-ownership, I was surprised that ESPN got the deal this  season!!  gld

Is it just me or is the camera work on some of these games really sad??  I can't remember how many times during the Penguins-Devils game they showed some guy (without the puck) being checked in the corner while the puck was being fired on goal.  In fact, I think they even missed one goal completely because they were showing two guys holding each other in the corner.  Now the last time I watched a football game, they didn't show the lineman going at it while the running back turned the corner for a touchdown . . . .   Is it just me??

Stewart, being an ex-Nordique himself, >was looking to call penalties on the Habs while letting the Nords >get away with murder...WE WAS ROBBED!!!!  If my powerplay was as bad as Montreal's, I'd be thanking Stewart for calling as few penalties as possible. Quebec's powerplay is lethal and it is to their advantage to have a penalty-filled game where they can clean up with their superior powerplay.   Montreal really lost that game (and game 2) because Patrick Roy is well on his way to having another one of his trademark awful playoffs. The man is truly overrated. Quebec has scored six goals on Roy and four, perhaps five,  were quite stoppable.

At the Lester Patrick Awards lunch, Bill Torrey mentioned that one of his options next season is to be president of the Miami team, with Bob Clarke working for him.  At the same dinner, Clarke said that his worst mistake in Philadelphia was letting Mike Keenan go -- in retrospect, almost all players came realize that Keenan knew what it took to win.  Rumours are now circulating that Keenan will be back with the Flyers.  Nick Polano is sick of being a scapegoat for the schedule made for the Red Wings; After all, Bryan Murray approved it.  Gerry Meehan and John Muckler are worried over the Sabres' prospects; Assistant Don Lever says that the Sabres have to get their share now, because a Quebec dynasty is emerging ...  The Mighty Ducks have declared that they will not throw money around loosely to buy a team.  Oilers coach Ted Green remarked that "There some guys around who can fill Tie Domi's skates, but none who can fill his helmet."  Senators' Andrew McBain told off a security guard at Chicago Stadium who warned him of the stairs leading down to the locker room; McBain mouthed off at him, after all being a seasoned professional ... and tumbled down the entire steep flight.  gld

He was crucial to the Oilers Stanley Cup victory in 1990, the one without Gretzky, because he made an Oiler power play which was lethargic that year until he arrived slide into overdrive.  The Oilers missed him more the following year than Kurri, and I think the Oilers would have make the finals if Ruotsaleinen has stayed around the following season, and would have beaten Pittsburgh with Ruotsaleinen and a healthy Messier...and delayed Pittsburgh's dynasty by a season.

Man, I thought people in this net are good with hockey. >I might not be great in Math, but tell me how can two teams ahve the same points >with different record??? Man...retard!!!!!! Can't believe people actually put >win as first in a tie breaker......  Why not? I believe both the Devils and Islanders got 87 points. Say for example, another team had this record : 20-37-47; they had 20*2+47*1+37*0=87 which is the same as their points total. (The Islanders' and Devils' records are both 40-37-7.  It is simple arithmetics and involve no Calculus.
While I will first congratulate the Blues for their victory, I think it must be realized that the primary reason the Blues were able to win was Curtis    Joseph.  When a goalkeeper gets hot, there is little an opposing team can do. Joseph should be given the entire city of St. Louis, because otherwise there  would probably be a game 6 scheduled.    As for the game on Sunday.  The Blues caught a few breaks, without a doubt. One was the Referee constantly watching the Blackhawks, looking for reasons to give them penalties.  Second, The Blues first goal resulted because the puck hit the linesman as the Blackhawks attempted to clear.  No linesman, no shot for Brett(I can redirect anything)Hull to redirect.  On another of St. Louis' goals, Belfour was tripped from behind as he went to make the save by someone who didn't belong in the crease, which means it was a St. Louis player. Finally, the overtime goal was caused because someone kept Belfour from getting back to the crease.  No goalie, no way to stop the shot.  I congratulate St. Louis for beating the Hawks.  It will be a shame to see Bryan Murray finally advance to the Campbell Conference Finals because Joseph won't be able to stop the powerful Red Wing attack.   ____________________________________________________________________________ |The World Reknown Jason Boskey           | Mail: Bosk@uiuc.edu            | |Known throughout the World as The Bosk   |"Christ, you know it ain't easy,| |All Rights Reserved, All Lefts Enhanced  |You know how hard it can be,    | |-----------------------------------------|The way things are goin'        | |"Here they come spinning out of the turn"|They're gonna crucify me"       |

I'm in Bowling Green, OH, and we get ABC from Toledo.  Well, the cable co. decided to totally pre-empt the game (no tape delay, no nothing) for a stupid telethon!  Hockey is very big around here, too.  I had to listen to "my" Penguins win on my car radio out in the parking lot.  I can just be thankful for a strong radio because being 230 miles from Pittsburgh, the reception usually isn't good at all.  I can't believe I picked it up during the middle of the day.

Both Vancouver and Detroit did the same thing last year: They both won their division, they had close to the same number of points, they both went down 3-1 in the first round of the playoffs before finally escaping in 7 games, and they both got knocked out in the second round by teams they should have been able to beat, with less talent.  (Specifically, if I remember correctly, third place teams).  How does this make Vancouver more improved?  Further, if I'm not mistaken, the Wings had more points than Vancouver at the end of this season (albeit not many).   >Gregmeister
Hey man! -  Having spent the past season learning to skate and having played a couple of sessions of mock hockey, I'm ready to invest in hockey equipment (particularly since I will be taking summer 'hockey lessons').  However, I am completely and profoundly ignorant when it comes to hockey equipment.  I've checked out local stores and looked at catalogs, but I was hoping to solicit opinions/suggestions before actually plunking down any money.  Having played football in high school and college I at least have that equipment as a basis for comparison.  But for example what are the advantages/disadvantages to different kinds of shoulder pads and pants/girdles?  Are there any notoriously bad or unsafe brands or styles?  etc.  So any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

With the kind of team Montreal has now,  they can take the cup easily.  The only problem they have right now is that everyone is trying to steal the show and play alone.  They need some massive teamwork. 	They are also in a little of a slump because long-time hockey Montreal Canadiens announcer Claude Mouton died last tuesday and it was rough on everybody because he has worked with the organization for 21 years.  But I know that is no excuse.  But if the Habs manage to get some good teamwork and get into the spirit,  they should have no problem winning in May.
Hi guys....  What happened? 	1.  Potvin didn't let six goals by. 	2.  Wendel and Andreychuk woke up. 	3.  Home ice and LOTS of yelling in the Gardens gave the Leafs 		the emotional edge. 	4.  Refs calls (especially last night) tended to favour Leafs.  	A couple of comments:  	1.  On Gilmour:  Just because the guy isn't one of the three 	stars doesn't mean he was not leading the team.  Someone posted 	the playoff point total and he's in something like fifth or sixth 	place....plus, he walked away with the Molson cup (given for 	accumulating points from the three star selection) during the 	regular season.  	2.  On the officiating:  I've heard gripes from both ends on this 	one.  Emotions are very high in this series;  the rivalry is 	one of the stronger ones I know of.  I do have to agree that the 	officiating last night was pro-Leaf in general (except for whoever 	missed that slash on Gilmour's hand).  	3.  In general:  I STILL think Detroit has one of the better 	chances vs. Pittsburgh (though I think the Leafs would do better 	against the Blues....but not as well if they made it out of the 	division). Problem is, I like both these teams, though I'm 	supporting the Leafs on the underdog principle.  D  	By the way...Gilmour tiring out is a lot like Bob Probert not 		playing aggressive hockey.... 	By the way....I'm not any sort of expert, nor do I claim to be. 		I just like watching a good matchup.

I haven't seen anyone post this so I will do the honors.  Maine beat LSSU 5-4 in Milwaukee on Saturday night.  It was quite a game. Maine stormed to a 2-0 lead in the first and looked like they might run away with it.  Maine's first goal came inside the first thirty seconds of the game. LSSU came back at the end of the period to cut the lead to 2-1.  LSSU came out in the second dominating the play particularly along the boards. The play went quickly with the refs running a no-holds-barred type of game. LSSU scored three more unanswered goals to lead 4-2 at the end of the second. Now it looked like LSSU might just walk away with the game.  Coach Walsh, of Maine, replaced the starting goalie Dunham with Snow, who won the game against Michigan.  Snow proved to be a much more aggressive goalie. The third period, like the second, belonged to the team behind.  Maine scored three unanswered goals in a span of five minutes after the four minute mark. They were all scored by Jim Montgomery, the tournament MVP, and all assisted by Paul Kariya.  The last minute of the game bears highlighting.  The change to Snow also proved the difference in the end.  With one minute to go and with the LSSU goalie pulled, Snow dueled with a LSSU forward in a amazing set of moves by both.  Snow won.  It was a great way to end the game.  This year's three championships games were sold out last year in about one month.  The Bradley Center holds approximately 17,700.
