You never forget... I hope
I'm in the middle of what I've been calling my longest story since college. It's probably just my longest story in seven years. But still. You get used to saying what you need in 12-14 inches (500 or so words), and spewing 35 becomes a little tricky.
Anyway, Nygel Pelletier assessed something like 72 power plays (23, whatever), including four in the first five minutes of overtime, and that's how Hershey finished off the Penguins tonight. John Walton got through the goal and the series being done and then spent the next minute or so describing how Wade Skolney and Dennis Bonvie were going after Pelletier. "One of the more bizarrely officiated games in the history of hockey," Walton said to begin the postgame show. Alex Giroux scored his second overtime goal of the series on the Bears' second five-on-three of overtime. That's right, their second five-on-three of overtime. Hmm. Both teams had a short-hander. Scott Barney had three goals for the Bears, and Tomas Fleischmann had five points. Marc-Antoine Pouliot had three points for the Pens. And Hershey is the first team through, but it won't know its opponent until Monday or Wednesday.
Hartford seems likely to be back, Bruce Berlet reports. Meanwhile, Callahan didn't play in Russia yesterday because his gear didn't make it to Moscow, reports the Rochester D&C.
From the Toronto Sun, Bryan McCabe reacts to the Ted Saskin canning.
This popped up on eBay: a 1976-77 New Haven Nighthawks season ticket flyer. That opening bid seems a bit steep, but then again, I'm cheap.
The list of what I don't get about the NBA is surely longer than the list of what I get, but somewhere atop that list is theleague's association's penchant for leaking awards winners.
