At first, I immediately thought "5 and a game" because the hit _looked_ much more severe from an intent-to-injure perspective than it was.  After seeing the replay, I'd say it deserved 2-4 minutes for boarding (it was careless any way you  slice it).  If Stewart had replay, I do not think Chaisson would have gotten 5 and the game.  >In the second period, behind Potvin, Probert had the puck, and was >going to get out front, and was _tackled!_  I couldn't believe the no-call.  This no-call was bullshit, I agree. I admire Stewart for letting them go, but Probert *looked* *up* saying where the hell is the penalty?  I've never seen Probert whine either (he doesn't need to).  Now, if Probie decides to put Wendel through the boards, he's probably gone, right?  >I don't remember who (on the Leafs) touched the puck  >on Racine's shot towards the end of the game (43.2 seconds left), but Stewart >called it out of play, last touched by Detroit.

It was Rouse, btw. I'm really pissed that the linesmen didn't correct the call either....it's b.s. when the officials refuse to admit they made a mistake.    >But, when it all comes down to it, [Wings played like shit.....]  Yes.  The calls you describe should not have the difference in a Detroit loss.  I picked the Leafs to win Game 3 on emotion and adrenalin, but the Wings have no excuses for Game 4.  They should be the superior team.  The call that pissed me off the most was Anderson getting 4 for putting his stick in somebody's eye.  That was _the_ most dangerous stick infraction I have seen in a long time, and everybody in the damn league _knows_ he's an asshole when it comes to stickwork.  Four lousy minutes.  Bullshit call.  Murray should send the tape in.  Or a Wing should hammer the living shit out of him.
MIGHTY ONES GET MIGHTIER:  TPS, the Finnish Champions 1992/3, are getting still stronger!  I just heard some news, according to which TPS has acquired the next Finnish hockey superstar(??) Jere Lehtinen from Kiekko-Espoo!  There are also some rumours about Erik Kakko (Reipas) and Marko Jantunen (KalPa) being traded to TPS. Both of this players are currently on the Finnish olympic team. I think that Jantunen is drafted to the NHL, too.  BTW. Is Juha Yl|nen (centre, HPK) drafted by the Jets?? During last year he has reached the top level among Finnish centres. He had very good playoff games against TPS!    Hannu

Quite modest I might say.  Well, I don't recall assuming anything, except perhaps that the columnist  who reported the incident was telling the truth i.e. the sarcastic impression came from _him_ (Steve Simmons?).  Besides, to my knowledge Alex has a pretty fair grasp of the English language...and his recent comment after the Detroit game would indicate that this remark _is_ what I think it to be.  Very low.

Edmonton has been fairly - supportive of the Oilers. Even though they're a small market - team, they had many sellouts in the 80s.

On the other hand, if - the team does move, there is no place more deserving than - Hamilton. Of course, how would that affect the grand - realignment scheme of Bettman? -    Following up on this, the provincial government has been asked by the Opposition to block any deal that Pocklington is offering to Hamilton.  The government said that Pock is going nowhere!    Why don't I believe the government?  Wasn't it Pocklington who wanted to be Tory leader 9 years ago?

I don't feel like I have to defend this team anymore.   The Devils are a puzzle to me.  They have long been one of the few teams I always dreaded playing.

Bernie Nichols was interviewed after Game 2 on the late news.  He was shaking his head in disbelief over Barrasso, saying that Tommy is like another defenseman out there and how difficult it is playing against him. Then he got this far-away look on his face, his voice started trailing off and he said, "It just isn't right...it just isn't fair..." and he tried to muster a smile.  >I'm really impressed with Bowman's coaching tactics - he's had an answer for >every move that Brooks has thrown at the Pens.  As far as coaching goes, a Pens/Islanders match-up should be pretty good.  One guy I feel sorry for in all of this so far is Chris Terreri.  I'm sure Tom Barrasso knows how he feels.  For so long Tommy would look up and not have a teammate in sight.  Terreri's teammates really left him out in the cold in the first two games.

Man, I thought people in this net are good with hockey. >I might not be great in Math, but tell me how can two teams ahve the same points >with different record??? Man...retard!!!!!! Can't believe people actually put >win as first in a tie breaker......  Golly, I love stupid people. :-) Listen, Rex, this is hockey.  The NHL, to be precise.  And in the NHL, there exist these things called "ties".  A tie occurs when a game ends with the score for each team equal.  Each team gets one point for a tie.  There also exits these things called "wins".  A win is when one team has a higher score than the opponent.  (Oh yeah, only two teams play each other at a time, so I can say "the opponent".)  A team gets two points for a win.  So, let's say that a team has a record of 38 wins, 36 losses, and 10 ties.  Another team has a record of 40 wins, 38 losses and 6 ties.  The first team has (38*2)+10 = 86 points.  The second team has (40*2)+6 = 86 points.  WOW!  They *both* have the same number of points, but the number of wins is different!  How did they do that??!?!?!?!  That's amazing.  So, Rex, when people talk about wins being the first tiebreaker, well, then that's what it means.  In our example, the second team would win the tiebreaker and therefore have the "better" record, even though both teams had the same number of points.  If you didn't understand this post, Rex, maybe you should go back and read it again, very slowly. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)  --     Keith Keller				LET'S GO RANGERS!!!!!

It's about time the boys got it together!! They were outworked and outplayed by the Wings in the first two games. But Burns must have kicked their behinds cause they sure came out in full gear (or is that high gear?) in game 3.  Except for a 10-15 minute stretch in the 2nd period, they outskated and outworked the Wings.  Please don't flame this statement 'cos you know it's true!  I have to admit that  goaltending was the key.  Potvin kept the Leafs ahead during the sleepy stretch the Leafs went through in the 2nd.  He also kept the rebounds to a minimum, something that cost Cheveldae 2 goals.  Clark even looked like he had stopped moping (first star!), although I still don't know why he was so flat in games 1 and 2.  If the Leafs play the same style and can keep the pace they had in game 3, they may actually have a chance of winning this series (a slim chance,  but a chance....I'm no RM.....where is he anyways? haha).
Ottawa picks first, because they had fewer wins during the season, the first tiebreaker.  --     Keith Keller				LET'S GO RANGERS!!!!! 						LET'S GO QUAKERS!!!!! 	kkeller@mail.sas.upenn.edu		IVY LEAGUE CHAMPS!!!!

I remember reading an article in Reader's digest many moons ago  about a similar incident. During a minor leaque game a player neck was  cut when the opponent he was back-checking tripped and his skakes  flew up. In this case the victim's mask proved a hinderance since  his face was protected and so he didn't bother with the  usually instinctive reaction to protect his face/neck. A quick          thinking coach saved his life by applying direct pressure and using  snow to contract the blood vessels (from what I can remember).

I agree. It was great for the ESPN people to show the Detroit game. (My roommate just about sh*t when they threw the octopus on the ice. (Thanks for explaining the significance of that BTW)) The only problem I had was when they blotted out the local commentators with the baseball ads and music. Especially when the wings player hit the rut and went into the boards injuring his shoulder and they blotted out the injury report. Other then that, hats off to ESPN. Now if they'll only make a habit of this. Yeah right! Baseball seasons started (Zzzzzz.....) =)  KOZ

However, I'd suggest Kelly Buchberger instead of Dave Manson, who has had a brutal year, his pick for the All-Star game notwithstanding.  As for biggest surprise, I'd say that Buchberger had higher expectations this year due to his "breakthrough" year (for him) last year, so he didn't really raise his game.  My suggestion would be Shjon Podein, one of the callups from Cape Breton during the year.  He was quite far down on the depth chart in the Oilers stable of prospects, but made a big impact on the team.  He has 12 goals in his 33 games and is only -1.  Those are decent numbers for a third-line player who was seemingly doomed to minor-league oblivion.  The Oilers coaching staff likens his style to John Tonelli. I think he'll be on the full-time roster next year.  As for biggest disappointment, you could name any of the players the Oilers dumped for lousy production this year (Nicholls, Gilchrist, Tikkanen) or even Shayne Corson, but Mellanby isn't far off.  --  Andrew Scott                    | andrew@idacom.hp.com HP IDACOM Telecom Division      | (403) 462-0666 ext. 253
