They have a rrally good chance to come             out of the Smythe Division, and a chance to make              it to the finals, but no one is capable this year             of beating the Penguins, they have too many             scoring threats. I would love to be proven wrong, but             I must conclude that the Pens will win cup 3 this year.               Steve

After reading some of the reports of possible NHL moves to Milwaukee or that Milwaukee should have an NHL team, I thought I'd pass along a story I heard recently.  This is second hand, so I don't know how true it is, but I have no reason to doubt it either.  Bradley Center in Milwaukee is home to the Milwaukee Admirals minor leauge hockey team.  The owner of the Admirals (sorry, I can't remember his name) either owns or at least shelled out the majority of the funds to build the Bradley Center.  Supposedly he was approached by the NHL about an expansion franchise, but  turned it down because he thought the franchise fee of $50 million was too high.  Like I said, I don't know whether this story is true or just a rumor, but if it's true, don't look for an NHL team in Milwaukee anytime soon.  The Admirals aren't going to be forced out of the building and you won't see an NHL club and a minor league club in the same building, especially since the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks play there as well.

That's really sad when two second-rate goalies (Barasso and Belfour) are the main contenders for the Vezina. Call me crazy, but how about Tommy Soderstrom - five shutouts for a 6th place team that doesn't really play defense. It's really unfortunate that the better goalies in the league (McLean, Essensa, Vernon) had unspectacular years. BTW, if you are going to award the Norris on the basis of the last 30 days, why not give the Vezina to Moog? He has been the best goalie over the past month.  >> Coach of the year is tricky:  Burns did the most with the least raw talent, >> King did a good job but the Flames clearly underachieved last year, Brian >> Sutter has done exceptionally well in his first year with a new team, ditto >> Demers, Page has been blessed by the ripening and acquisition of young >> talent, Darryl Sutter is having a good year for a rookie coach, Berry made >> the best of a bad situation, Terry Crisp worked minor miracles, and Bowman >> was Bowman.

Burns will probably win, since playoffs aren't taken into consideration - he's OK in the regular season, but I'm not sure if he's beaten anyone other than Hartford in the playoffs.

It was speculated at the time, that the injury was so serious that had he been playing at the other end of the rink at the time (he was playing in the same end as the ambulence is parked), he never would have survived.  Ditto, if he were playing anything other than a league with an ambulance on  standby.  If you've seen video tape of the incident, it is amazing how much blood there was.  It was literally spurting out all over the ice, as Clint grabbed his neck and watched the puddle in horror.    Amazingly enough, he made a full recovery, and played again in the NHL.  He was getting on in years at the time of the incident anyway, and didn't play for too long afterward.  Some people speculated that he just couldn't get himself back together after the incident, and I think he had a bunch of other personal problems dogging him afterward. He did eventually get back to form, and played another year or so after that, and then I believe he retired.  Anyone else?  --    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carol Boudreau            #44                         a.k.a.

Do you notice that _nobody_ on the team is willing to take charge? A dominant defenceman would be nice....too bad Schneider got hurt. He reminds me of Chris Chelios sometimes.  Speaking of Chelios, I  wonder if Serge Savard feels like a moron for making that trade. I also wish we still had Corson.  Rob Ramage on the ice is less useful than a Gatorade bottle on the  bench.  Vincent Damphousse has decided to take a vacation, apparently.  I have no idea why Demers is playing Denis Savard on the checking line with Carbonneau.  Savard is skating well, and is one of the only dangerous Canadiens in Quebec's zone with the puck.  Too bad nobody is in front most of the time.  Do you also notice that in the defensive zone, not a single Nordique gets knocked down?  It's disgusting.  We also have Lebeau (5'10", 172) getting pasted at centre ice by Wolaninn (6'3", 205) with no reply from the team, except to yell for a penalty.  Dammit, Denis Savard  threw the best (only?) Montreal hit of the night when he knocked Sundin off-balance.  When Denis Savard is your team's enforcer, there's big trouble someplace...  >Hextall made some good saves but >really this one was lost in first period when nords scored 3 >& could have had 5, plus another 4 in 2nd.  Aside from that second goal, Roy did stand on his head.  The third  period at least provided something to look forward to.  Habs won the period, IMO, and I guess somebody finally came along to smack them a couple of times in the second intermission to remind them that a game had started at 7:30.  Hopefully they play that way at home.  Roy made  the saves (we'll ignore that second goal), so now it's up to the team.   -- dchhabra@stpl.ists.ca

No, and in fact, that was Ferreira's original strategy, which the troika proceeded to simply continue to implement. There wasn't exactly a radical shift in policy when he was ousted (something people seem to forget). The only real question is whether they did it as well as Ferreira could have if he stayed, or whether the basic strategy was flawed (since Ferreira has been quoated as saying he's going to do something different in Anaheim with the Ducks, my guess is that it wasn't as good in practice as it was on paper, and he's tweaking it a bit second time around). One also has to wonder whether the strategy would have been a lot better if we hadn't had those injuries, and whether we're complaining about the weather because an earthquake collapsed the root cellar.  >Of course, Ferreira had also traded a number of veterans with marginal >contributions before he was fired, so it's not clear that this would have >been different.  Besides, they *were* marginal contributors.  Let's also NOT FORGET that Ferreira came *THIS* close to trading Kelly Kisio, which, if the rumors I've heard are true, was over the strong objections of other aspects of Shark management and probably had a lot to do with both his ouster and the three-headed, consensus oriented GM.  Imagine, for a second, where the Sharks would be today if that fax machine hadn't jammed.  >With or without Mullen, they weren't going to be a playoff team; what good >does it do them to hang onto a player who'd rather be elsewhere?    Especially an unhappy player that isn't playing as well because of it. Not that I'd accuse Mullen of tanking, but his motivation simply wasn't there, and that kind of thing can affect the team.  >>An example from this season, Skriko was brought in on a trial basis >>but not kept, because of his age. I thought he was a decent >>contributor worth keeping around.  >>The youth movement has its advantages; look at Gaudreau who >>might still be in KC if more veterans had been kept around. But >>you have to find the right balance.  >Right balance for what?  That's the issue.    Exactly. At the time they let Skriko go, we hadn't yet had the major injury bugs that killed us later. I'd much rather have Skriko around than someone like Dean Kolstad, but at that point, that wasn't the choice. And since the choice was more one of Skriko vs. someone like John Carter, I think the right choice was made for that time period.
"They're real and they're spectacular", the Blues shutout the Blackhawks in consecutive playoff games.   If the Blues sweep the Hawks on Sunday, I will launch a broom onto the ice in the last seconds of the game. "Not that there's anything wrong with that."  Curtis Joseph has been the "master of his own domain", and the Hawks have been shooting the puck like a bunch of "chuckers". Not even "Superman" could play any better in goal. Joseph must have been eating his "cereal."  "It's like a sauna in here" said a spectator about the hot atmosphere and the wild crowd at the Arena.  It was "very refreshing" to see the Blues "double-dip" the Hawks.  The Hawks goons tried to "pick" on Hull, Janney, and Joseph but the Blues checking line "nipped" those Hawks real well.  The fat "Yoyoma" will sing on Sunday, and the Hawks will head to the "beach". The Hawks' trip back to Chicago will feel like a long "journey from Milan to Minsk"  Enjoy Sunday's game with some Junior Mints and wash them down with a Snapple.  Just a little fun.

Sorry to everyone for wasting space.  Matt, the other day you posted that you were doing a mailing list of playoff stats.  I lost your address.  Please put me on that list.  Thanks.
For updated playoff updates (scores, stats, summaries) e-mail me. (mmilitzo@skidmore.edu) with the subject STATS.
On the Lindros "trade":  Like Ottawa would be stupid enough to get Lindros.  Why do you think Quebec traded him?  Lindros would go on personal strike again...maybe I should talk to Ottawa mgmt. about arranging such a trade....  ;-)  On that xenophobe:  Thankfully nobody agreed with him publicly.  Maybe we should look at baseball, the supposed "American" pasttime (sp?).  Look at all the damn Latin Americans playing there!  They should all be deported!  They aren't American!  (add sarcasm to taste)  To Roger:  Wow, for once we agree.  I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.... I'll become a ranting lunatic who talks about nothing but the Leafs being the best in the Campbell.  ;-)  On the Rangers:  I told someone that nothing that happened in the Patrick would surprise me anymore.  I lied.  How the hell can a team go into Washington, earn a shutout, then come back home and lose to pitiful Hartford?  The absolute *pinnacle* of mediocrity.  I can't stand it. From what I've read, the goalie is to blame this time, as Beezer played pretty poorly.  Smith is talking about calling up Corey Hirsch from Binghamton, everybody is pointing fingers... this is definitely not the same team which wanted to prove itself in Washington.  *Now* nothing that happens in the Patrick will surprise me.
