I wish to congratulate HE for finally making a decision on the Maine-PC situation (whether right or wrong in some eyes). The timing of it for them couldn't have been better, since it simply switched Maine and PC in the standings, such that that affects no one else's position in the conference. And, at the moment, since 3 plays 6 in the playoffs anyway, they'd be playing each other. Now, later in the season, when the numbers begin to change, then some people may have some legitimate gripes. (And, fortunately, I'll be about 1000 miles away, so I'll only have to read the E-mailed ones. (-: [I got tired of lying on my right side, so I switched.]) Thanks to John for posting the MSU stats. If you realize that Carter, Harper, and Guolla all play on the same line (Wexford), then you can see what troubles we've been having. NOBODY ELSE IS SCORING!!! (Save Rem Murray, whose on the first power play unit with, you guessed it, Carter and Guolla.) I wish (and this is no slight, John) that you would have put up the +/- ratios, so that the rest of the nation can see how, usually unless the Wexford line is on the ice, we are somewhat of a mediocre team. For example, Steve Suk, who centers the second line with Burkett and either Tuzzolino or Wiegand, has a +/- ratio right around the freezing point (Celsius). Both Carter and Guolla (and pro- bably Harper, but don't quote me) are near +15. For a team that has aspirationsof contending for the NC$$ title, they need to have others step up besides the Wexford line. G. M. Finniss Michigan State University WVU '87, UTenn '92, MSU who the hell knows when? P. S. To clear up the Great Mystery (or Good Mystery, or Who Really Gives a S--- Mystery), the G. M. stands for Gary Marshall (until April, of course, when Fantasy Baseball starts, then it's General Manager). I've found it useful on occasion to use only my initials, especially when writing letters to the editor, since I tend to write on certain topics where a male opinion is considered non grata. (And, even some times when I write hockey opinions, they're non grata. Just ask some of my loyal fans in Ann Arbor. :-) [I switched back. It hurts lying on my left side.])
