It was on ESPN Classic last night, only I didn't realize it until 1 a.m., so I missed taping most of the game (got the last 13 minutes or so). If anybody recorded the whole thing, I'd be interested in purchasing a copy.by CUlater 89 - Hockey

Re: NHL + PA Still Talking - 19 years ago
I haven't heard that Bettman told the teams to release their arena dates for the remainder of the season, although that may have happened and I just didn't hear it. If that's the case, then they might still play, maybe a "playoffs-only" season? (I know, probably false hope).by CUlater 89 - Hockey

Re: Of Fandom, Then and Now - 19 years ago
Most of the talent that was on the '87-'88 squad was the freshman class. Other than those six players, the only guys who had produced anything in previous seasons were Chris Norton, Casey Jones and Chris Grenier (and I only include Grenier because he was may favorite player at the time).

Re: Rumored Proposal to Save Season - 19 years ago
As an aside, from what I can tell from the postings here, "soft cap" is not the correct term. It sounds like that is the level above which a luxury tax is to be imposed. A soft cap is what the NBA had -- a salary cap that a team can go over in order to re-sign its own players. A hard cap is what the NFL has -- no going over it.by CUlater 89 - Hockey

Re: How good are the Patriots? - 19 years ago
If there's any organization similar to the Patriots in the NFL, it's the Eagles. Like the Pats, their management is routinely praised for their savvy cap management and ability to identify key players to retain and key players to bring in. For similar reasons that Corey Dillon wanted to join the Pats, TO and Jevon Kearse wanted to join the Eagles. Both teams have well-regarded head coaches andby CUlater 89 - Hockey

I feel for Age because of the blatant discrimination against him when USCHO applied for a credential for him to serve as its photog. On the other points though, I think Athletics is within its rights. Photogs should be required to have credentials and I think most of us here consider ELynah to be a fan site, not a news site.

Of course his leaving the team in mid-season is "selfish" -- the decision was made in his own best interests, not those of the team (leaving a team is rarely an unselfish decision, unless it's a case of "addition by subtraction".

Ari is right on about Pokuluk (despite what Adam Brown said) and Cook. I also agree about McKee on the last goal (and so did the announcers on CSTV).
