Here is a summary of Don Cherry's coach's corner from April 18, 1993. It took place in the first intermission of game 1 of the Montreal-Quebec series.   Pre-game comments ----------------- Don's pregame comments were mostly aimed at the goalies... The goalie who gets back his all-star form (Roy or Hextall) can win the series for his team.  Eposode Summary --------------- This episode took place rinkside. Don was holding a hot dog that he bought from the concession stand.  Ron Maclean started out by showing a cartoon which appeared in the Toronto Sun. It featured a picture of Don, who just saw his shadow and proclaimed "Will you look at dat, eh? Means another 6 weeks of me. Beauty."  Next, Don talked about the hot dog he was holding. According to him, the hot dogs at the Quebec stadium are the best food in all the arenas in the NHL.  From there, Don commented on the Quebec-Montreal game. The game had great flow, because Referee Paul Stewart calls the best game in the NHL. In contrast, the Calgary-LA game was terrible... All stop-and-go, over 50 minutes of penalties called against Calgary by Dan Marouelli. Its getting so that the ref who calls the most penalties gets to ref in the finals.  Next, Ron showed an old picture of Don, when he was playing for the Rochester Americans of the AHL. Don recalled some of the wins that he had in the Quebec arena... during the Memorial cup and the AHL championships.  Finally, Don and Ron discussed Keenan becoming coach of the Rangers. The rangers were a talented team who underachieved. Don feels sorry for temporary coach Ron Smith, who had several key injuries (to Leetch and Patrick) and goalies who went cold.  Don had some criticism for the Rangers team... The party's over, Adolf (Keenan) is there. The Rangers organization will no longer be a 'country club'.... "NY should be achamed of themselves... If they go in the tank with Adolf there, they'll be hanging from the yardarm by their thumbs."   Rating ------ Nothing too special in this episode.  I'll give it a 5.5 out of 10.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------    \  \                   |Allan Sullivan (allan@cs.ualberta.ca)     \  \                  |Department of Computing Science,      \  \_______          |University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.       \    ###  \     _   |---------------------------------------------------        \___###___\   (_)  |My opinions are mine and mine alone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "It is amazing how much can be accomplished if no one cares who gets the  credit..."          - U. of A.

News reports in Toronto say that the Rangers are insisting that Kovalev, Zubov, and Andersson play for Binghampton in the Calder Cup playoffs, rather than return to play for their "home" countries in the World Championships.  ...shame on the Rangers.  Another black eye for the NHL in Europe.
Hello Hockey fans. Bonjour tout le monde!  Well, in Salt Lake City this past Sunday, the local ABC station decided not to televise the hockey games.  La directrous de programme est la tete de merde! Anyway, I have a satellite dish, and a few of my friends from hockey have invited themselves over to watch the games this coming Sunday (25 Apr), and I can not find correct game times.  For the Calgary at LA game I have times showing everything from 11:00 AM MDT, to 5:00 PM MDT.  I am not even sure what games are going to be played this coming Sunday, now that ABC has mucked up the schedule.  I think I should be able to pull in three games (11:00 am, 2:00 pm, and 5:30 pm MDT) off the dish, but I am not sure.  IF anybody has a schedule, pleas emial it to me.  As you can see, I have to telent to get rec.sport.hockey, and it is sometimes difficult to get a link.  Thanks in advance Merci d'avance  P.S.  Anglais ou francais d'accord.

If ESPN pisses you off, call them - they do respond to calls. Last night I called when they said they were cutting to baseball and we couldn't see the sudden-death overtime for the BUffalo game. Apparently they received enough calls so they waited for the overtime to finish before cutting away.  Their phone number is 203-585-2000

Yeah, and also be second in the team in scoring and play about 35 minutes a game and play on the power play and kill penalties and be the best defenseman in the league. I'd take a whole team of Chelioses if I could. (That way, when one got a penalty the others could kill it!)
On Tuesday, when it was raining in Chicago, ESPN provided  bonus hockey coverage.  Now it seems as though some fans are ticked off that the NY-Wash OT was replaced with the Angels-?? game.  People must realize that there are more baseball fans instead of hockey fans in the U.S   The baseball game was scheduled to air and advertisers money was paid so they can't skip the baseball game.  Why don't you people CHILL OUT and enjoy whatever coverage you can get.

Yes, you're right. After going home and reading the paper, I got the full details. That's what I get for making a post based on WDUQ's news. I should know by now they get just about every sports related item wrong.
Here is something crossposted from the AHL mailing list:			  In a discussion between me and Chris Lerch, the subject of Springfield's  1st round upset of the Providence Bruins came up. Chris basically raised the possibility that the AHL  hierarchy is biased in favor of the Indians. He noted that the offices for the league are in Spring. and many ex-Indians are working for the AHL. Furthermore, he also informed me that back a few years ago in the Cup  finals between Roch and Spring, that the Amerks charged favoritism by the office and that:  "...there were little questionable things liket he AHL president and staff attending all games with the Springfield brass, including sitting in their box for the game in Springfield and, according to the Rochester media, openly cheering for Springfield."  Certainly this is something that is quite serious if any of this is true. I don't know if this is anything more than whining on the part of the Amerks (they have pulled this sort of crap against the Wings before) but if true, this is somthing that seriously raises questions about President Jack Butterfield's leadership.

On the other hand, I'm hard pressed to think of any other real mistakes Fereirra made.  Imagine indeed, but then again we have the benefit of hindsight.  Let's say that in the view of the Sharks' upper management, the attempt to trade Kisio was a major factor in the decision to fire Feirerra.

One of our German friends here (Robert?) told me their forwards were all Canadian-Germans. Perhaps somebody can sort this out for us?   > My Possible-NHL(European league)-site list: > Switzerland  : Berne, Zurich (Lugano and 1-2 others)  OK, "this ain't North America" and so on, but I still doubt that _any_ city having a pop. of 500,000 and below could support an NHL team. Of course, Switzerland probably should be judged as one large city because of small distances between cities but still.   > Germany      : Dusseldorf, Cologne, Berlin, Munich (Mannheim, Rosenheim)  Dusseldorf? YES, although the arena is an anachronism (an OPEN wall behind one of the goals - essentially an outdoor arena!). Cologne's arena only seats about 7,000-8,000, Berlin is about 6,000 and no new facility will be built unless their Olympic bid is successful. Munich does have an arena.   > Sweden       : Stockholm, Gothenburg (Malmo, Gavle)  Malmo is big enough, but they also need a new arena...the current one has  5,000 seats I think.  > Finland      : Helsinki (Turku, Tampere)  If we're talking about the NHL, even Helsinki would struggle to make it work.

Paris had their own "Volans Francais"(sp) pro team a couple of years ago.

I recently bought a pack of prospect hockey cards which had various players that were coming into the NHL. I got this particular card of a Russian named Viktor Kozlov. It says "many scouts believe he will be the #1 pick in 1993". Another guy is quoted as saying "He's as  good as Mario Lemieux". Anyone know who this guy is?????

They talked about how they are made, what they are made of, >and the designs that are put on them, etc.  Actually, this part was really interesting.  It turns out that the mask is custom-fit to the goalie's face.  The goalie puts his/her face through a piece of wood (or was it plastic?) with a hole in it that allows only the face and forehead to show.  Hair is covered by a cap, eyes are covered by a plastic wrap-type material, and vaseline is put on the goaltender's face.  Then, a plaster is spread on their cheeks, forehead, and chin which takes about 12 minutes to dry sufficiently.  When it dries, it is effectively a mold of the goalie's face.  This is used as the basis of the mask (the rest involves padding the inside, hardening the exterior, fitting the cage, etc. etc.   John Blue of the Bruins actually demonstrated the procedure on the show.   >He exhibited a couple masks he is currently working on, namely, a >new mask for Andy Moog which is a basic re-working of his current >mask with the bear on it, and new mask for Bob Essensa which was  >*really* cool -- the Jets logo was on the chin, and there were two >fighter jets on either side on the forehead with an air-brushed >back-ground.

Just some thoughts:  I don't usually like to post simply to make fun of a player, but this time I couldn't resist.  During the Pens-Devils game last night, second period, I think Kevin Stevens was in the penalty box, Nicholls punched Kjell Samuellson in the face, then raised his stick like a two handed sword to defend himself!  All Kjell could do, at 8'7" and 355 pounds, was laugh!  And speaking of Swedish Penguins defensemen, Ulf is getting a little out of hand lately.  His cheap shots are getting more frequent and more violent.  As everybody in the Meadowlands except for the officials could see last night, he rammed the butt of his stick down one of the Devil's throat.  I've always supported the argument "he does his job by being irritating," but he's starting to push it over the edge IMHO.  Of course, Holik's chop to Barrasso's neck wasn't too sportsmanlike either. It seems that he was following the "The only way to beat the Penguins is to injure them" philosophy.  As my Modern Drama professor pointed out to me the other day, Jagr was stoned pretty well Tuesday night, and last night as well, although the 30 seconds he danced around the Devils end was pretty exciting.

I think Vancouver will go as Bure goes, and if he continues on his goal scoring slump, then they won't even make it out of the first round. I think the Kings will make it out of the first round, regardless of who they play. They seem to be doing pretty well, even with that bad game against Minnesota on Saturday.
