| This is exactly the point I was trying to make - NOT belittle US collegiate
hockey players. The NCAA system of developping athletes produces ethics
problems. The athletes take up seats in classes (the ones they actually
attend) while people like your friend get the shaft. Then, look at the
attitude eminating from NBA and NFL pros that were stroked and pampered
through their college years. Compare that to NHL players.
While far from perfect, I think the Major Junior leagues in hockey
are the best way for athletes to be prepared for pro leagues. Those that
dont make it can always go back to school after they have had their shot,
and the universities are no worse for the wear. |

Condolences on the demise of your team. I cannot figure out what the
hell
Keenan is doing either. Im still mystified over the Shanahan deal
myself.
Of all the players to dump ... he is the one guy who really can carry a
team
so I cannot forsee much success without him.
(uninformed whimpering snipped)
Joseph was one amazing goalie ..I should not say was that implies that
he is dead or unable to play anymore. The series versus the Leafs a
couple of
years ago ... Wow!! 1992, I think.

Brenda:
Quit judging the team (and its former goaltender) by their
performances one to three years ago.....hockey careers come and go in
that amount of time in the NHL. If you think Shanahan can carry a team
you are *sadly* mistaken, and since that spectacular run in the playoffs
in 1993 (not 92), Joseph has NOT been the same in goal. Both players
have questionable work et. |

Excellent reply, Joe. There are a few people who hate Lemieux and
instead of just saying so, come up with ridiculous reasons. Another
point to be noted in his skipping back to back games was that if the
second game was at home, he would play the home game to avoid travel.
And more importantly it is the folks in Pittsburgh who are paying his
salary and want to see him play on home ice. Nothing wrong with that.
As for his comments on officiating, I dont see anything
wrong with
that. Hockey officiating is by far the most inconsistent of any major
sport and if anybody can do something to change it, it is the superstars
who must voice their opinion. Lemieux summed up the NHL best in his
garage league quote. Note that for most Lemieux haters, when Gretzky
complains, he does not whine but is the sports ambassador but when
Mario does it, it is whining and he has no class.
Seriously, how many players stay with. |
