    They could have been the Extreme's. I guess noone choaked on Avalanche
    live they did Extreme. Rocky Mountain Goats would have been better.

        What's the deal in Colorado.  You've got one of the best hockey
    teams in the NHL with a grand total of 8 people in the stands when 
    the puck is dropped.

I just hate singular names for teams: 

	Magic, Jazz, Heat

Believe it or not, I even prefer Mighty Ducks to Avalanche.  And it's too bad,
because they're a damned good team.

It'll be interesting to see if they draw.  A while ago, someone had mentioned
the previous failure of the Colorado Rockies(?) hockey team, and how there
was more in the way of professional sports competition in the area now...

The Queebs by any other name are still the Queebs....


Bruins sucked pond water against these guys.  One "LUCKY" goal.

Kasper the Friendly Coach sucks.

>    Cleveland Crusaders!  Gerry Cheevers left Boston for the Crusaders and
>    the WHA!

     So ?  Are you suggesting the Crusaders were a better team ?  Are you
     suggesting he left because he thought Cleveland was a nicer place to
     live ?  Or was there some other reason ?

245.13And what happen to all those guys? AD::HEATHTribe Roooools Sox;Sox commit biggest choke in sportsFri Oct 13 1995 18:215

Probably the Massachusetts Department of Revenue... :-) :-)  Something about
having his mail delivered to him at Suffolk Downs...

I think Cheevers left because he'd accomplished all he could with the Bruins
(2 Cups in three years) and wanted more $$$.  Wasn't that what the WHA was
offering?

I can't complain too much about the WHA -- it gave me the opportunity to see
professional hockey and see the three Howes play together.  The Hartford
franchise did a lot for the city of Hartford.
