-The Garden should take note of the atmosphere at last week's concert. It's not like that for a Knicks or Rangers game.
if you win, they will come......and make noise
-When did hockey become really boring?
sometime around 1996, but it's starting to come around again.
-When did NHL officials decide they were the game?
c'mon Derek, there's a long overdue crackdown on obstruction going on. This is absolutely necessary. Probably the best decision Bettman's ever made.
-When did the Coolest Game become so lame?
When Bettman tried to fix what wasn't broken.
-When did ESPN last cover a hockey game?
Rangers/Flyers I believe, they've cut back on games this year and will probably show even less next year. Don't you work there?
-Paging Jose Theodore: "Get your head out of those models and start earning your salary!"
he will
-I can't decide what's uglier. Those Orange 3rd jerseys the Islanders wear or the Orange ones the Flyers now come out to.
this 3rd jersey thing has gotten out of control, they ruin the integrity of the game, time to ban them. (like that'll ever happen)
-Whatever happened to playing Jamie Lundmark?
I don't know
"He's close Sam, Trottier told me he's real close to breaking out"
JD talking about Lundmark the day before he was sent down
-It's okay to burnout a 19-year-old 2nd year goalie but keep a top prospect buried behind such dead weight as Dixon Ward, Ted Donato and Dave Karpa. Why not give Brent Fedyk and Chris Kontos a call?
Chris Kontos, there's a name from the past Blackburn has always been giving up 3 goals a game so I can't tell if he's burned out or not. The kids a little overrated, blame pappy JD.
-Bryan Berard has 7 goals for Boston. Who knew?
I think he had another operation over the summer to improve his vision even more.
-I thought Ed Belfour was done. Cujo who?
The Eagle is still steady
