At every rink, we hear from genuine fans and also genuine idiots. On hockey-l, we hear from knowledgable fans and also parochial paranoids. The breakdown is always about 99/01, and the trick is to either bait the 01 for amusement or just ignore them. (Sotto voce: "Oink, oink".) I just hope that big "RPI" is still on the Enginerd unis, so it will be easier for Steve Wilson to remember whom *not* to pass to across his own crease tonight. And although *ordinarily* I'd pay to see Kyle Knopp try to hip-check Frank Kovac... All together now for old times sake: "Squash that bug!" (Actually, do they still have the @#$&! bee? I haven't seen him at Houston the past few visits.) - G ********************************************************* * * Greg R.
