Finns had to do their best last night when they played against Norway in world champs. After two periods the score was still 0-0. This game was  quite much similar to the first game Finland played  (against France). The norwegian goalie was very good and a bit lucky, too. In the third period Juha Riihij{rvi scored 1-0 from a rebound, the time was around 5 mins or so. The second goal was scored by Kari Harila, who shot straight from a faceoff behind the Nowwegian goalie. Saku Koivu, the 18-year-old center got his first point of this tournament. Saku Koivu played very well througout the game and he was awarded the best player of the game- prize. Despite the fact that he is quite small in size he handles the puck very well and is a fast skater.  I think that we will hear from this guy in the future.
Could someone please post the rosters for the College Hockey All-Star game East and West Rosters?  Thanks in advance.

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.  It's pretty obvious that Holik's hitting Barrasso was an accident. He was even apologizing for it immediately before the Penguins all jumped on him.
>And, while we are on the subject, has a captain ever been traded,  >resigned, or been striped of his title during the season? Any other  >team captain trivia would be appreciated.  Brad McCrimmon was the captain of the Flames when he was traded to Detroit following the 1989-90 season. This was during the off-season though.  There's countless examples of captains being traded, I'm sure.
I was playing this golf game and something interesting happened. On the 7th hole, I drove the ball down the fairway, when the ball was in mid-flight, the game completely froze. A couple seconds later, the screen went completely black, with an error message in large "Bubble" letters that said DIVISION BY ZERO. I thought it was funny considering I am a computer programmer, and I had never seen an error like this on an actual video game system like Sega or Nintendo (or even Atari or Intellevision years ago). Oh yeah, after the message, there was also what must have been an address, in hexadecimal. I forget the exact hex code that was given. HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE??? It must have, my game shouldn't have been the only one to do this.

The Selke candidate forwards main purpose on a shift is to prevent goals from being scored- not to score them.  When Lemieux or Gilmour play their number one purpose is to score- defence is secondary- especially considering the line that plays against them is probably a defensive one.  That is why they are not Selke candidates.  >>2.

You have overhyped Gilmour on this net for months.  He is a very good forward- but hardly the best in the NHL.

I can see the relationship between free throws awarded after a certain number of fouls, but it's obviously easier to score in basketball, there are more opportunities.  If a basketball team scores 100 points, that's at least fifty chances made.  The average number of shots taken by each team in a hockey game (and this is a total guess) is probably around 40, and a team is lucky to capitalize on maybe 5 of them.  You have some good ideas concerning the other penalties, but I think that a player should be awarded a penalty shot only when they had a chance to score and was interfered with.  Also, later in the post, you talked about how boring the NBA game you attended was, that play was stopped too often. Wouldn't your penalty shot rule take up more time during a hockey game?

An agitator for sure, but Fleury never has and never will have a fight, which seems to be what you're saying Wood is.   The closest Fleury ever came to fighting was a game two years ago against Los Angeles. There was a scrum and McSorley pinched Fleury's head under his arm. Fleury dropped his gloves and gave McSorley a weak shot to the side of the head. McSorely, knowing a good thing when he saw one, popped Fleury one right between the eyes. End of fight. Fleury got ten stitches for his trouble.  The only player I can ever see Theo fighting is Cliff Ronning, and even then he'd be giving up two inches and 10-15 pounds. :-)

Can't believe people actually put > win as first in a tie breaker......  Then allow me to enlighten you, Rex. You see, there's a thing called a tie.  A tie is worth one point (I know, I know. You're not good at math. But bear with me). A win is worth two points. So, getting two ties is the same as  getting one win. If your team played two games, won one and lost one, you'd have two points. If my team played two games and tied them both, we'd also have two points. We'd be tied in the standings even though our records are different.  Perhaps you should learn something about hockey before posting again. (I am starting to sound like Roger or what?)

There was apparently a 30 minute special here on the Penguins'  season on ABC (WTAE - channel 4), immediately preceding the opening  game against the Devils on Sunday.  I only turned it on in time to  watch the credits.  If anyone taped it and is willing to let me borrow  it to dub it, I would appreciate it.  I would be willing to come pick  it up, and I'll return it the next day and buy you a beer.  Please  respond via e-mail.  Thanks a lot. 	Oh yeah.  Was it any good? 						-Billy

Aargh!  Paul Stewart is the worst and most biased ref. presently in the NHL. He called a total of 4 penalties on the Habs and one on the Nordiques. The Nords' penalty came in O.T.  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!!!!  It was an excellent game with plenty of end-to-end rushes and tremendous goalkeeping.  The Nords tied it with over 1 minute to go while Lebeau was serving a penalty.  I don't mind Stewart calling a penalty in the last 5 min. of the game, but AT LEAST BE FAIR ABOUT IT.  The Nords were caught with their hand in the cookie jar more than once.  Stewart turned the other cheek...BASTARD!  Patrick Roy collapsed after letting in the tieing goal. He was shaky and on his knees for the rest of the night.  The winning goal shouldn't have gone in.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the loss on Stewart.  The Habs had plenty of chances to capitalize, Muller, LeClair, Haller, etc. but failed to put the puck in the net.  That's what did them in.  But Mr. Stewart didn't help matters at all.
