Though I doubt you would have actually been saying that until the mid '60s. ;-) lister

And unfortuntely I know that thinking "This could be the year" is futile in ANY sport in this town.

I know that's compensated a bit with Hitchcock's defensive system but still, they need that money goalie. I'm very surprised that Clarke hasn't picked up Cujo yet for a song. So couple the goalie problem with some of the press I've been reading about Roenick and Hitchcock, that looks to be a potential mess to blow up. As much as Hitch may be a good guy, it's usually dreadful watching his hockey games. Zzzzzzzz... Though if it comes down to strategizing the playoff matchups, I'd be perfectly happy with the Flyers finishing first in the conference. Assuming the Leafs don't self destruct or become an AHL farm team due to the injury bug, the Leafs should finish 2-4 and wouldn't face the Flyers until the later rounds of the playoffs. After last years debacle, having one of two powerful teams bounced in the first round sucks. lister

Of course, to be totally honest, I've only been saying that since 1992 (the year I became a hockey fan ;-) I watched the NBA religiously all the way through high school (class of 77) and golf. Mostly because I played basketball in high school and golf in high school and college. I hadn't watched any sports until 1992 when I got hooked on the playoffs - even got one Uncle hooked so bad that the next year when he moved to Boston he somehow managed season tickets. I don't watch much tv, but if there's a hockey game on I don't respond to human interaction until the end of the game. Everything else seems like its in slow motion. bcnu, Mikem Java, Junk. Both start with a "J", both have four letters. Coincidence? I think not.
