He and another player had to pay some fines; the other player had his paid off, but not Don didn't want to.  Don called the other player a "teacher's Pet", and the other player replied "Ah, that's just sour grapes".

I know the score, but that rarely describes the game. >Could someone please post a brief sonapsis (sp?) of waht happened.  How well >did each team play?  Were the cannucks deserving of the victory?       Well, in my opinion the Canucks played a really strong game. I was especially pleased by a very strong game from Linden - I think he could be a key to success for them this year.  Defensively, they really had a strong game.  Hardly heard Selanne's name all night. Craven also played one of his best games since coming over.  With a few exceptions, they really didn't let the high-flying Jets do much high-flying.  I thought the Jets defence looked overmatched by the Canucks forwards - they will have to improve on that if they want to make this a series.      In short, it was a great start!
un, you better add at least another plus to the Pederson for Neely trade, the Bruins also received a number 1 round draft pick, didn't play great this year but Wesley's still a decent defenseman....  And the Bruins got Pederson back eventually anyway.....               Pat Ellis   P.S.  GO BRUINS    GO UMAINE BLACK BEARS    42-1-2       NUMBER 1......

They'll lose in the first round, compliments of Winnipeg and Teemu Selanne.

Soderstrom is probably the biggest surprise.  Re Eric: True, but fortunately we didn't get to find out what they would be like without Recchi for 30 games.  Soderstrom: Absolutely. 4 shutouts in 39 games for a rookie without a lot of defense in front of him. Runnerups to Galley and Fedyk who are scoring a ton over their career best. But Galley thinks he's Paul Coffey (puts scoring ahead of defending) and Fedyk has tailed off big time.  Eklund: Was a big question mark this year and was coming off injuries. 42 points in 49 games is not bad at all, and recently he's been a huge factor in the wins they've gotten. Eklund has never had a point a game season in his career, his production is very typical for him. How does he qualify as a disappointment? If anything he's a surprise.  My choice would be Roussel if I went strictly by what was expected of players, but I never thought that he had what it takes to be a #1 goalie. My biggest disappointment is Bill Dineen. I thought that he was going to be the perfect coach for this young team, instead he's made too many bad moves and IMHO has cost them enough games to keep them out of the playoffs this year. Any coach that thinks putting Eric Lindros at the point on power plays is a bright idea needs to go back to coaching school.

Funny you should mention this; one time on HNIC Don Cherry pointed out Vanbiesbrouck's mask.  He _hated_ it.  I think he said something to the effect of: "You see?

Jagr did not have a better season than      Francis ... to suggest otherwise is an insult to those with a modicum of      hockey knowledge.  Save your almost maniacal devotion to the almighty      plus/minus ... it is the most misleading hockey stat available.       Until the NHL publishes a more useful quantifiable statistic including ice      time per game and some measure of its "quality" (i.e., is the player put out      in key situations like protecting a lead late in the game; is he matched up      against the other team's top one or two lines; short-handed, etc), I would      much rather see the +/- disappear altogether instead of having its dubious      merits trumpeted by those with little understanding of its implications.  Thank you for posting this.  As the person who first brought up the fact that Jagr has a much higher +/- than Francis, I can assure you that I brought it up as an example of the absurdity of +/- comparisons, even on the same team.  I never, ever thought that anyone would argue that Jagr's higher +/- actually reflected better two-way play.  In my opinion, Francis's low +/- is purely a result of him being asked to play against opponents top scorers at all times; the fact that he can chip in 100 points while neutralizing the other team's top center is a testament to how valuable he is, even if his +/- suffers.  On the other hand, Jagr, for how big, fast and skilled he is, can't even get 90 points, no matter how inflated his +/- is.  (By the way, don't get me wrong -- I like Jagr.  He may be a lazy floater, but he turns it on at exactly the right times -- like overtime of playoff games).
Apparently, the public workers' strike in St John's, Newfoundland is over. The strike has, since mid-January, forced the St John's Maple Leafs hockey team to play their home games in other cities such as Toronto, Cornwall and Charlottetown. They have been playing their playoff home games in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Leafs' management said that they COULD return to St John's for the second round.
I got back from my trip to discover that my email spool file got blown away.  I am missing all the playoff pool entries sent between April 5 and April 17.  It looks like about 200 entries got lost.  *Sigh*.  Therefore, I would like to ask each person that sent me a team to resend it ASAP.  I am relying on your honesty to not make changes after the deadline today.  Thanks in advance, and I apologize for the problem.  --  Andrew Scott                    | andrew@idacom.hp.com HP IDACOM Telecom Operation     | (403) 462-0666 ext. 253

DALLAS HELPS HAWKS STAY IN MONCTON After announcing that they would pull their affiliation out of Moncton, the Winnipeg Jets changed their mind.   The Jets announced the move when they said that they would be slashing their minor league roster from 20-something to around a dozen; and they wanted to share with an existing AHL or IHL franchise.  Enter the Dallas Lone Stars. Dallas agreed to supply the remaining 6 or 8 players to the Moncton franchise. Thus keeping the Hawks in the New Brunswick city.  The deal is for one year and will be extended to three years if the season ticket base increases to over 3000. The Hawks only sold 1400 for this year.  SAINT JOHN FLAMES OFFICIAL The Calgary Flames have officially signed a deal with the city of Saint John, NB. The Saint John Blue Flames will play in the 6200 Exhibition Center. The Flames still have to apply for an expansion frnachise from the AHL but are expected to have no trouble.  CAPS FOLLOW JACKS TO MAINE Despite rumors to the contrary, the Capitals will follow the Baltimore Skipjacks to Maine. The Caps' current farm team, the Baltimore Skipjacks, announced that they would move to Maine and become the Portland Pirates. There was much doubt as to if the Caps would follow but they announced a limited deal with Portland. They would supply a dozen or so players including 2 goalies. They become the third team to announce a limited farm team along with Moncton and the Capital District Islanders.

What gives? >(is there some custom to throw octopuses on the ice in Detroit?)  It is a long standing good luck Redwing's tradition to throw an octopus  on the ice during a Stanley Cup game. They say it dates back to '52 at the Olympia when the Wings became the 1st team (I think) to sweep  the cup in 8 games. A lot hardet to throw one from Joe Louis seats than from the old Olympia balcony, though.
I don't know if anyone has posted a message like this yet, but i'm getting really sick of espn showing the last minute of a hockey game, in which the score was just tied, and then cutting out and saying "sorry we can't show you this we have to show baseball tonight" (not even a game. a friggin HIGHLIGHT show). gee, sure would have been nice to see the isles/caps in overtime. I live in Pittsburgh (yes i'm a pens fan) where hockey gets a lot of coverage.  i can only imagine how a caps fan residing in Texas must feel.

I'm a hockey fan from way back, and maintain an interest as best I can here in the hockey hinterlands (Oklahoma).  I'm hoping I can get a reading from some of you about the move of the North Stars to Dallas.  I've been under the impression that Minnesota was one of, or possibly, THE hockey state in the U.S.  So why is the team moving to a city in Texas?  Is it that the owner is a greedy, self-serving profiteer, or were the Stars really not making a profit?  Or was the city or whoever owned the arena doing some price gouging?  As much as I'd like to see the NHL only a 3 hour drive from me, I can't help but feel for the people in Minnesota, unless they truly didn't support the team.    Opinions, please.
OK, I'm sure that this has been asked 100's of times before, but I have wondered since I heard it...  Where the hell did the nickname of the "Habs" come from for the Montreal Canadiens?
