While the press made an issue of it, and attempted to link it to the Rangers' internal political woes, Mike Keenan repeated that to Messier personally during the MSG press conference.  It makes sense ... Messier would probably have not declined the invitation if it were made for publicity ...  gld

There is no Yzerman-Fedorov-Probert line, except for maybe on a powerplay.  These three players usually play on three different lines. Which would mean that Toronto's checking line would have to pull a triple shift. The Wings' lines usually look like this:                         Gallant-Yzerman-Ciccarelli                         Kozlov-Fedorov-Drake                         Kennedy-Burr-Probert                         Ysebaert-Primeau-Sheppard   Oh by the way:  Start praying! : )

The Oilers MIGHT move to Hamilton >where Porklington can get a free deal. >  The probability is that the Oilers are not going anywhere.  Pocklington has chosen this moment to make his "last" stand is because he is at the moment of maximum advantage...the provincial government is months away from a provincial election...it is the moment when he has maximum power to convince Northlands to give him a better arena deal or a better purchase price... and it is before the NHL's new collective agreement with the players which might involve some enhanced revenue-sharing.  Pocklington is many things...stupid is not one of them.  He can dictate terms...because other cities will pay his price if Edmonton doesn't.  Edmonton has already fucked up its international airport, and surrendered supremacy to Calgary, and over the next few years Edmonton is going to take a hard hit from government cutbacks. It will screw itself beyond recogniton if it manages to find a way to lose its hockey team too...because Northlands wants to continue to use the Oilers to subsidize horse racing.  However, in this case, about the long-term financial viability of the Oilers, the fact is that Pocklington is basically  right, regardless of who owns the team, and it is right to provoke the crisis now, before the team accumulates millions of dollars in losses, or becomes habitually uncompetitive because of lack of money.  Sather has done his job...the Oilers are poised to be competitive again very soon (Al Strachan, one of the most knowledgeble hockey writers in Canada in a post-mortem of the Oilers season in the Globe and Mail recently agrees with me.)
Well, here it is, NHL in the year 2000. I got these from a very reliable source in a dream some years ago and  although I initially thought I had just been taking too many too strong  drugs now it seems the realization has really begun...  You can see the  league has already started to move to this direction.     *The Walt Disney Conference* Anaheim Mighty Chipmunks    -Franchise name to be changed after each new  LA Kings                      hockey movie          LA Flames                   -We've seen some of that San Jose Sharks San Diego Bruins Tijuana Red Wings   -Detroit's hockey team will follow its car industry... Dallas Stars            Houston Oilers Texas Rangers Seattle Canucks     *The Norm Green Conference* Alabama White Hawks Biloxi Blues Tampa Bay Lightning Miami Blades Helsinki Jets        -You've heard them starting getting used to the anthem Montreal Quebecois (sp?)                 -There will be no 'Canada' Atlanta Devils Orlando Penquins Key West Islanders Hartford Whalers                        The Whalers will never move, huh? Palm Beach Capitals    Now that the Anahaim team is becomming real I'm really beginning to believe the rest of the 'message'.  I'm sure the future will turn you into believers  too.  After 2000 the NHL will abandond ice-rinks.  It's so expensive to cool  down the rinks in the subtropics and the locals hardly know what ice is  anyway.  NHL will become a roller skating hockey league.  That way it can  create more public interest in the game when local supporteres can play the  game in their back yards !

Second, ESPN's affinity with Patrick has probably more to do with the travel/production costs for a once a week NHN(National Hockey Night) affair.(ESPN-ABC owner,Capital Cities, is a company known for being quite thrifty with minimal overhead costs. It's quite possible that Jim Schoenfeld may be working for doughnuts :-).  Gary Thorne and Bill Clement are both NJ-based and the rest of ESPN crew resides in the suburban CT with a very close proximity to tri-state area. Plus,it makes sense in terms of solid hockey following in the NorthEast corridor(PA-NY-NJ-DC/Maryland). Whereas,in the Adams you have only 3-American based teams, out of which 2(Buffalo and Hartford) are not in Top-20  US TV-markets.

Everywhere else, the only >reason SportsChannel was available was for local baseball broadcasts.  Yes, a point well-taken ... however, even in areas that finally got some games, there's something nagging in the back of your skull when the network that has the national rights in its pocket says on its sports news, "There's an awesome overtime going on in Quebec City, and we'll *try* to get you an update through the show ..." when you know that it's on a satellite's feedhorn somewhere up there ...  >If people want hockey on TV, they should watch hockey on TV. I bet  >the ratings for hockey on Sunday on ABC went into the toilet.   From today's Times, ABC got great ratings in Chicago and St. Louis (a 4.2), and the Kings-Flames got a 2.9 on the West Coast, but only a 2.2 in metro New York (i.e., the Devils squandered their newfound support from a year ago when they played the Rangers )-;).  In comparison, Seniors Golf did better ...  >Next week, there will be far fewer ABC affiliates with hockey.  I fear that the overall national numbers will not be so great ... I can't tell if ABC did any advance marketing or not, 'cos I don't watch much TV ... the NHL should have made sure that it was solid on cable before going on the air.  Even ESPN could've sold second rights to third party systems (i.e., non-SportsChannel) since they are not making any extra money by sitting on the games ... hockey fans will not necessarily be watching pre-season beach volleyball if playoffs games aren't being shown somewhere ...  gld

He rarely lost a fight and was one of the toughest players in >the WHL.  Wood is fairly small for an enforcer-type. I mean, Fleury does a pretty good job and isn't that large, but Dody is no Fleury.   Having been witness to three or four of his fights closeup, he simply isn't ready to fight at an NHL level (assuming that it's his role, which is ALL he really showed us in his few games up from K.C. -- if he can pass, shoot or skate, I never saw much of it). All he has is a right fist, which isn't bad, but at the NHL level, the other players are smart enough to grab the thing before he can land anything significant. Once you control that hand, he's a fish flopping on the beach and the other player can do just about anything he wants to him. His entire strategy seemed to be keep the hand out of reach until he found an opening -- and I never once saw him find an opening worth talking about. He got neutralized quickly, and stomped on a couple of times.  Unless he shows some new tricks in camp, he'll be on my "career minor leaguer" list. Since this was his first taste of the NHL, I expect the Sharks gave it to him so he'd KNOW what he'd have to work on off-season. He needs to get stronger, he needs to get more speed and he needs to show some versatility as something else than a simply goond, because he wasn't particularly good as a goon.
