Mr. Evans- I don't really know what you are getting at by rating these players. From a fans standpoint, I don't feel you have a position to term *any* player as "ugly", "bad", or "punks". Not every player on the team is going to be a Bonin, and they all work as a team anyway. Yes they do have their bad streaks, but terming third line players in this fashion is unacceptable. I went to high school with Crowley, Checco, LaFleur, and Trebil and I know that they take the game seriously. Whether or not they have a good season does not mean they are hobey's or they stink. Terming Brian LaFleur a "punk" is meaningless and has no value. I apologize to the hockey-l "decency code", but I just feel this action is unacceptable. I remember reading this post the first time Mr. Evans sent it, and I let it slide. I don't agree with reposting it. I have also noticed other posts that seem to be frustrated feelings from Mr. Evans and I am just expressing my dismay. Thank You. I apologize if I have overreacted in any way. >On Tue, 19 Mar 1996, James Evans wrote: > >> >> Andy Brink- Some people laud his versatility being able to play both >> forward and defense.
