You mean local to Olympia Stadium, where Red Wings games were played until fairly recently (early 80s comes to mind). As far as I know, the rest of the post is basically correct. If what you meant by local was simply Detroit and I'm being incredibly picky, okay, sorry about that.

I saw him play in the Swedish championship  game for junior players this year, and he played very well, a physical game,  but not the kind of rough stuff that Ulfie does (I suspect you would like to  have a Ulf type-of-player on the B's team too? :)  As for Mariusz Czerkawski, he has had a *great* season for Hammarby in  division 1. He scored -if I remember correctly- 93 points this season,  and then we have to keep in mind that a 50+ point season in Sweden is  considered *very good* due to the limited number of games. Mariusz is  Djurgarden property (he was just on loan to Hammarby), so he will play  in Elitserien next season, unless the B's can get him of course.  I would say that Mariusz has to be one of the most exciting player to  watch in Swedish hockey this season.   Staffan

Krupp was defending against Steve Tuttle, of the Blues.

He just wasn't diagnosed for it until he didn't sleep for ten days and decided to have some alcohol to help him sleep.  Unfortunately, he'd just been put on ulcer medicine a few days earlier.  It's amazing he lasted as long as he did.  OCD sufferers stop distinguishing the line between reality and imagination, or fail to accept that something they've checked is OK now.  For example, an OCD sufferrer can wash his hands over and over and still think they're dirty.  He might check the oven ten times to be sure it's turned off.  He might see a movie about something and automatically assume the situation is the same for his own life.  Malarchuk has dramatically decreased the medicine he takes, but still needs it.  He went off it this past winter and had a bad OCD episode and I think was in the hospital for a couple days.  (He felt it slowed his reflexes, so he tried to go without).  In any event, he is alive and well and living in San Diego, while playing with the Gulls (IHL).    > >Krupp is now playing for the Islanders after the LaFontaine/Turgeon trade.

I was wondering if any Star Trek TNG fans in this newsgroup knew of a possible relationship between the Bruins' players Douris & Moog and the Klingon names Duras and Worf (Son of Moog). I suppose it's a coincidence.  Just curious,

I think he's let in just four goals over eight periods of play.  I like Hrivnak, but we might actually have to give some credit to David Poile for a change after this trade.  Hopefully if Tabaracci starts against the Isles tonight, I haven't jinxed him.

cdash@moet.cs.colorado.edu (Charles Shub) writes: >Tuesday, and the isles/caps game is going into overtime. >what does ESPN do..... > >Tom Mees says,  "we are obligated to bring you baseball"  We're probably stuck, as Mike Burger pointed out that the baseball deal was made far in advance of the NHL contract.  WABC did the same thing; they were thankful that the Devils were wiped out by 9:30, because they had to switch over to Yankees baseball.  The proof of  the reasons for this is left to the reader ...  It's too bad, but I wonder if ESPN is stuck with other US local team coverage for their alternate games?  We got NESN's coverage of the Bruins-Sabres with the Boston homers ... they were awful!!!  I've read that Derek Sanderson is the colour analyst ... I wonder if he spent his early years after hockey as an intern at PRAVDA before landing this job?  *Everything* had to be twisted into something good to say about the Bruin(s) involved ... not even Bill Wirtz's shills on SC Chicago (Pat Foley, Dale Tallon) were this bad.  And just to be fair, SC used to take their feed from ESN (Empire Sports Network), the Sabre homers and they were horrible too ... but they were spacy.  From the CNN highlights, I hear Chris Cuthbert's voice from the CBC coverage of the Habs-Nords series.  Too bad that we couldn't get it on ESPN, with all due respect to the Sabres and the Bruins.  Mike Emrick is substituting on the Devils SCNY team for Gary Thorne. Mike was the original Devils TV play-by-play announcer, by the way.  gld

dstein@oak.math.ucla.edu (David Stein) writes: >  What's going on?  The Russians and the Czechs are unable to beat easy >opponents, and the Swedes beat Austria only 1:0?!? >  It's the "opening-game effect" maybe. Pros arrive late, nervousness for  rookie WC players, and problems to get the lines clicking may make things  hard to get it going against these "worse" nations.  I'd guess that the better team you face in the opening game, the better  it is, since the chances of an upset are greater then.   Some other reasons why the "worse" teams are so tough to beat was presented  by Hans "Virus" Lindberg (former coach in Switzerland).   1) The "worse" teams (referring to France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy etc)     have now usually world class goalies.   2) Their defensive play have become much more disciplined, they take much     less unnecessary penalties.   3) They use four lines which makes it harder to make them "run out of gas."   4) The ice quality in the German WC rinks is poor.  >  The only convincing winner was...

Even more specifically, I think what Roger was saying (and I said it previously too) is that these are NOT the people who made the league great, so why should divisions, conferences etc. be named after them instead of Morenz, Vezina, Howe, Orr etc., the people who DID make it great.  Instead, the NHL has chosen to immortalize the men who got rich off of the men who made the game great.

Cap Cities are currently working with cable companies to ensure a good start-up base needed for a launch for any brand new cable service.  The problem ESPN2 faces is the TCI-Cablevision connection in the merger of their Prime and SportsChannel networks. Prime SportsChannel will try to wrestle away NHL from ESPN in the off-season. Also,TCI and Cablevision have control a large number of cable systems around the country with a total of 15 million subscribers. TCI-Cablevision will do their best that ESPN2 never gets off the ground successfully. And the NHL's value will suddenly skyrocket in this cable war between Prime SC and ESPN. NHL is more vital to the survival of a regionalized Prime SportsChannel since they virtually have no national major league sports contracts and only cover local NHL/NBA/MLB sports teams.
