166.1It'd be worth a try wouldn't it?DIVER1::MACHADOCrazy on a ship of foolsMon Mar 17 1997 18:366
    	Perhaps we could arrange for Jacobs, Sinden and Kasper to have a
    lengthy photo session out on the ice under the scoreboard tonight. One
    never knows what could happen...

    I wouldn't worry about the B's winning too many more games.
    
    Look at the schedule, they still have to play: Sabers (2), 
    Redwings, Senators, Habs, Isles(2), Rangers, Panthers, 
    Penguins(2), Devils.
    
    Except for the NYI games, looks like a bunch of L's to me.
    
    
166.3Where's the 'Board????ASDG::MCNAMARAstrange visitor......Tue Mar 18 1997 10:5418
    
   .... i'll tell ya, Carey ain't gonna make any friends the way he played
    in that 2nd period...JEEZ!! Two shots....two goals......UGGGH!!
    
    oh well....was it me or what?  The new scoreboard *still* ain't
    installed yet?  Did I see that right????  Coulda been the St. Patty's
    Night celebrating by mac, but if so, what are they waiting for?
    Didn't they think they'd make the playoffs this year??
    
    Certainly THE surprise of the year are The Sabres.....they're really
    playing solid hockey, with one of the smallest payrolls in the whole
    League....
    
    I wouldn't mind seeing them go all the way, it's been a long-time
    comin' for Buffalo & their fans....

Bruins were so out of position last night, have of em
weren't on the right bench!

IT was awfull,, I counted at least 5 times in the second
period where the only guys back behind the B's blue line 
were Carey, the D, and a linesman,,,

you'd think with allt he crap going these forwards
would be back checking...

I can't fault Carey on those two goals in the 2nd,,  B's
we're all goin individual, and nobody was checking.
pity, the out played them for most of the game..
Goals came easy for Buffalo, and Hasek never makes it
easy...

166.7AWECIM::HANNANBeyond description...Tue Mar 18 1997 13:307
	I watched the 1st period and some of the 2nd, and it if it
	wasn't for Carey the score would have been about 5-zip Buffalo
	by the end of the 1st.  Countless times it was just Carey vs
	the offender with noone inbetween - no D, no backchecking.
	Ridiculous!

166.8Odgers: The NHL's Official Punching BagAFW4::LACAVATue Mar 18 1997 18:128
    Odjers got his face bashed to a bloody pulp...only to have the fans and
    the Sabres bench erupt...It was Rob May's 2000th penalty minute.  By
    the way....Odgers officially has gotten into more fights than anyone in
    the league this year.  Honest!  He's lost most of them too.
    
    Bruins are horrible...but I still like this Anson Carter character,
    he's got speed and good hands around the net.  He just hasn't put it
    all together quite yet.  Allison blows.
166.9Just Lose Baby!NETCAD::COLELLATue Mar 18 1997 18:3434
    
    From the Globe:
    
    Boston defenseman Dean Chynoweth
    was with the Islanders at the end of
    the 1989-90 season when they were
    tottering along in another lackluster
    season. If they lost their last game of
    the season against New Jersey,
    Chynoweth recalled, it meant they
    would pick fifth in the talent-laden
    June '90 draft. 
    
    ``I remember all the scouts being
    there, and our chances of winning
    weren't much,'' recalled Chynoweth.
    ``On top of everything else, we had all
    our guys up from the minors. It was
    one of those drafts, you know, if you
    picked fifth or sixth it made a big, big
    difference.'' 
    
    But they beat the Devils. 
    
    ``So we got the sixth pick - Scott
    Scissons,'' said Chynoweth, breaking
    into a wide grin. ``And Pittsburgh
    picked fifth - Jaromir Jagr. You should
    have seen our scouts the night we
    beat New Jersey. Not a lot of happy
    faces, I'll tell you.''

   When doesn't he bleed like a stuck pig???? He's punches more with his 
   face than with his fist !!!  Hopefully he is not around next year. He's
   kind of embarrassing.

    Just to let you know it was Rob Ray!!!!! Not May!!!
166.12May - Ray - whateverAFW4::LACAVAWed Mar 19 1997 13:263
    I always do that - get May and Ray confused.  Don't know why.  Either
    way, he got crushed.  Not only can the Bruins not score and win...they
    can't fight with the best either.  Embarrassing...
166.13SALEM::HOEYThu Mar 27 1997 10:254
    This has nothing to do with the Bruins, but did anyone catch the Col.
    Det. game lastnite! One of the best games I have seen in a long time.
    The annoucers went crazy talking about old time hockey. Anyway Detroit
    won the 6 - 5.
166.14Anyone tape this one?KOOLIT::R_PLOURDEThu Mar 27 1997 11:5017
    
    Anyone have this Detroit/Av's game on tape I'd be willing to pay for a
    copy of it. I didn't get to watch it but after checking out the ESPN 
    zone and the video clips on the web of this game I'm hoping I get a 
    chance to see a real hockey game.... 
    
    
    This seems like it was a real game none of this pussy-footin' around 
    crap we see game in game out now-a-days. 
    
    Whatta say anyone want to put forth a little effort for a fellow noter

166.15FSCORE::PAVEZKAHull BoundThu Mar 27 1997 11:5020
    Yep....and it was payback time for Lemieux's hit on Draper last year.
    
    Late in the first, Larionov and Forsberg hit each other and then
    started fighting.....Forsberg got bloodied....Lemieux started moving in
    but McCarty decked him....Lemieux turtled and McCarty kept pounding
    him...Lemieux got 12 stitches.   Patrick Roy came in to defend Clod but
    Shanahan grabbed him and then Vernon came in and took on Roy.   Patrick
    got the first shot in but I guess he forgot Vernon is a leftie.  Vernon
    clocked him....Patrick's face didn't look too good.
    
    The rest of the game was full of penalties...these teams do not like
    each other.  The WIngs were down 5-3 in the 3rd but tied it up and then
    won on McCarty's goal in OT.  Shots were 47-19 Detroit....Vernon let in
    a couple of soft ones.
    
    After the game, Bowman says that the whole fighting stuff could have
    been avoided if Lemieux had of simply said he was sorry for the hit on
    Draper.

166.16Sorry, did not tape it.ABACUS::FORTIN_CWorked the Bars & Sideshows.....Thu Mar 27 1997 12:0415
    
    
    That was a hell of a game last night.  You had to love seeing 
    McCarty slam ole' Claudes face into the boards last in that big
    melee...and Shanahan's clothesline on Roy was straight out of
    WWF Monday Night RAW!  All the fist-a-cuffs aside, however,
    the game was real fast-paced and exciting with a lot of scoring.
    Detroit looked good coming back from 2 goals down and it looked
    to me like Roy was exhausted towards the end of the game and in
    OT....he didn't move too quick on the game winner at all.
    
    Great Game, I'm glad I asked the bartender to shut the friggin Celtics
    off and put on something worth watching...

Mac,

You'll love this one. Leominster does have the DEUCE! We have 
since 3/7. I think it's $2 bucks a month. Call Cablevision now and 
you'll probable get it turned on today. It's channel 59, the old 
Comedy Cental spot. They moved to Ch 43. Nice and cozy next 
to NESN. For what thats worht now.  8-)
