    Always high on the list of the trains which are never, ever late.

    Don't like it? Address the base sources of what remains one of the saddest cliches in sports.

    Tough spot. But fair. No problems with it.

    Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley, as homerish a duo as you'd want, both felt that the call was a coin flip. I agree. No bitching either way.

    If the call truly was 50-50, doesn't the situation dictate swallowing your whistle?

    The clip I saw later showed a similar thing on the other end not called and then that. Opinion seemed to be they were both penalties or neither was a penalty. Not one isn't, one is. I didn't see the first thing when it happened and couldn't really tell when I saw the tape. The late one on the Caps sure did look like a penalty to me and I, too, thought that would be it.

    Nope.

    The call on Chimera was borderline at best but completely uncalled for with two and a half minutes left in the third in a tied game seven. Bad call.

    No way should the Chimera call have been called. Not even in the first period in December.

    Kerry Fraser thinks goalie interference should have been called on the game-winner.

    It's easy now that Fraser, The Guy Who Missed Gretzky's High Stick on Gilmour, can be an armchair. No way he would have called that if he was reffing

    According to an AP story, O'Ree joined the Bruins in 1958. It wasn't until 1959 when the Red Sox became the last team in the majors to break the color line with Pumpsie Green.

    Pumpsie Green? Pumpsie?

    I'm sure glad my momma didn't name me Pumpsie.

    Game 7 had its moments but jeez, Ottawa was being pretty nonchalant considering their season was on the line.

    The Rangers/Caps series will probably be a trapfest.
