Jean-Marc Pelletier to play in Rochester? - 18 years ago
There should be many good opportunities for those of you in Ithaca to see him. If Miller steps up to the NHL (which he probably will), JMP would be an instant starter in Rochester.by Tub(a) - Hockey

Re: OT: NHL no longer on ESPN? - 18 years ago
The end of Barry Melrose would be great. Yeah, ESPN is totally devoid of hockey, other than what they put on SportsCenter (which wasn't much even when they owned the rights to hockey). Comcast (OLN) is putting games on Monday and Tuesday. They also have the rights to the playoffs up through the first 2 games of the Stanley Cup Finals, while NBC will play games on 6 Saturdays and games 3-7 oby Tub(a) - Hockey

Jeff Hopkins '82 Wrote: I think the idea of not getting a line change after icing could be interesting. I think it's going to make the bad teams worse, because they're the most likely to ice the puck to get a stoppage, but would probably have minimal impact on the better teams. I think it will be the reverse. Bad teams usually can't get control of the puck long enough to ice it. I amby Tub(a) - Hockey

Re: Optimism (NHL) - 18 years ago
The Sabres are well positioned in this new landscape. They have a target payroll of 30-35 million, and currently only have 5 or 6 players signed (including Vanek and Ryan Miller). It will actually be very bizarre to see the Sabres and Penguins competing for high quality free agents while the Rangers and Red Wings scramble to salvage the few old people they can.by Tub(a) - Hockey
