As Daryl points out, Markus won't be joining the Pens for this year's  playoffs, since the World Championships starts April 18th.   But there is a good chance that Markus will join the Pens before next  season. MoDo, though, naturally wants to keep their superstars Forsberg  and Naslund, so the latest news on this is that MoDo is looking for  personal sponsors for Forsberg and Naslund in order to match the kind  of money they would receive in NHL.

Actually, Swedish coach Curt Lundmark is thinking about leaving two  spots open for additions from eliminated NHLers. It is Mats Sundin and  Calle Johansson that Curt hopes can join the team, although in a late  stage of the tournament. Technically, I seem to recall that you can leave  spots open until 24 hrs before the WC final.   Staffan

The problem is that other Americans don't give a shit about hockey.  They view it as a bunch of Canadians with bad accents and missing teeth beating the shit out of each other on a patch of ice when it is too warm now in two-thirds of the US to see the stuff naturally.  On the other hand BASEBALL is the *gasp**swoon**sigh* "NATIONAL PASTTIME".  BASEBALL is so romanticized in the US that you are supposed to forget that other sport exist after April 1 and before November 1.  I feel that since ESPN shows 5+ BASEBALL games a week they should be able to show an OT hockey game instead of the opening innings of a BASEBALL game.  Hell, the game is going to last 2hrs 45mins, so what if you miss the first 1 1/2 hrs?  And I am an Indians fan!  Show the end of what you started, then switch!  But then, I'm a hockey fan, what do I know?  BASEBALL is the all mighty sport.

Ok guys, I need a list of the teams who have been hot or cold during the last 25 games.  Doesn't need to be accurate, a rough guess will do.  I'm about to enter a playoff pool and I want to know who is hot going into the playoffs.  Don't need to mention Pittsburgh.  They can't get any hotter than they are now.   P.S. I need this by Sunday

What are you complaining about?  The problem is that (by no fault of ESPN) ongoing games are not covered 'til the final horn sounds.  With two channels, SCNY and SCA, late-finishing games (up to Pacific time) and overtimes elsewhere will kick in at the end of local coverage.  If SCNY is blocked by the Mets, there is still some hockey on SCA (SCNY Plus).  With an ESPN 2, the current situation would be alleviated.  gld

Yes, Yl|nen is a draft choice of the Jets.  (Assuming, of course, this is the same Yl|nen that played for Kiekko-Espoo in 1990-91.)  He was a 5th round, 91st overall pick of the Jets in the 1991 entry draft.  I noticed in the summaries that Yl|nen had really begun to play well in the playoffs.
It was great to hear that UMass is bringing back hockey!  It reminded me that a couple of years ago there was talk that both Bimidgi (sp?) and Mankato State trying to upgrade their programs to Div. 1 status.  I also seem to remember that they had some trouble with new NCAA rule about just who was allowed to compete at the Div. 1 level.  Was that ever resolved?  Also, I was just wondering if there is ANY college hockey east of Colorado (Alaska excepted). With the new popularity of hockey on the west coast, I would expect there to be some interest building at the collegiate levels too. Anyone heard anything?

Ok, Buffalo fans.  I am a Red Wings fan, but am amazed at how the Sabres are beating up on the Bruins.  Is there any reason for this?  Is it Grant Fuhr or Mogilny and Lafontaine?  I would like to hear from you since I do not know much about the Sabres.
Two years ago Mark Messier appeared on David Letterman the summer he signed wit h the Rangers.  I remember he and Mike Gartner taking slapshots at the camera,  one finally was a bullseye and the screen went blank.  It was funny if you saw  it, I guess.
Yes, Yes, I can see it now >>>> all those Sabre fans FINALLY taking their Sabre sweaters out of the moth balls and proudly wearing them. After 9 years of playoff frustration and being up 3 games to nil I guess it is a pretty good bet.    BUT there has not been a team that has come back from an 0-3 deficit since 1975 - could this be the year.   (Don't throw out the moth balls yet)

For those of you who read TV Guide, there's an article in next week's SPORTSVIEW concerning the NHL and major network broadcasting. Pretty interesting.
A fine 26 year history came to a close tonight, as the Minnesota North Stars,  or Norm's Stars (whichever you prefer) lost to the Red Wings by a score of 5-3.  The Stars goals were scored by Mike McPhee and Ulf Dahlen, who netted two including the final one in franchise history, with less than a minute to play.  Tonight, on the air on the Stars TV telecast, announcer Al Shaver, the voice of the North Stars, stated basically that he will not follow the team to  Dallas.  Shaver, when asked by his son (who was doing the broadcast with him), "What will you do now?" responded, "First I'm going to get me a new pair of slippers.  Then I'm going to sit in my easy chair and watch the world go by."  Thank you North Stars, and thank you Al Shaver, for 26 years of Minnesota memories.
