Subject: Re: Canada/US game in Colorado Springs
Could someone post the outcome of the last Canada/US game in Colorado. I lost
a few days of my email and haven't been able to find out about this game.
Also, I have seen 2 different times CBS is supposedly going to show the
women's Olympic Gold Medal Game; Feb. 17 between 1 and 3 a.m. ET and Feb. 17,
7-9 a.m. ET. I assume the early morning time would be live and the 7-9 a.m.
time would be taped delayed . Does anyone know which is correct. Thanks,
Becky

Just wanted to put a plug in for the Concord (NH) Monitor's women's hockey
web page, which will be up beginning Feb. 3. I'll be covering Team USA at
the Olympics and all stories which I'll write for the newspaper, plus more,
will be on the hockey page. U.S. game results should be posted within an
hour or so of their conclusion.
You can access the site at www.concordmonitor.com
Enjoy.

AS far as I know the gold medal game on the 17th will be televised live on
CBC in Canada at 1:00am P.S.T. and CBS will have most of the game
highlights between 7:00am and 9:00am on the 17th. Canada won in Colorado
cant remeber the exact score. Sara DeCosta playing very well for the US,
sounds like Canada played very well that particular night.

<< I have to agree with Dave and Bevan, an outsider cannot accurately evaluate
the effectiveness of a player and how they fit in on the team unless they are
part of the evaluation process (i.e. at the practices, the team meetings, in
the locker room etc..) >>
Well ... I don't quite go so far as that, not by a long shot.
If I were to evaluate the play of a member of the AHL Springfield Falcons, I
could do a pretty damn good job of it. Given personal experience and watching
twenty games a year, it isn't difficult for a knowlegeable fan to get a good
handle on how a player manages. If I were to evaluate the play of a member of
the Boston Bruins ... well, I have access to the entirety of the Bruins'
schedule on TV.
My problem with the evaluation done on this board is that with almost everyone
reading this, you don't even come close to seeing the national teams so often.
How could you? Except for those of you directly connected with the national
team and who follow the team around (anyone besides Dave? Anyone INCLUDING
Dave?), the opportunities do not exist. Only a handful of games have been
broadcast, and I very much doubt many people reading this have seen them in
action more than a handful of times ever, let alone this season.
Ask me how Ray Bourque can play, over his career and over this season. I have
tons of stats for comparison's sake. I've seen him play for eighteen seasons.
I've had to see him on the order of three hundred games or more, and in person
a good thirty times. I can tell you how good he was the year the WHA folded,
how good he was the last time the Bruins went to the finals, how good he is
now. He's a rough contemporary of France St. Louis. How many games has
anyone seen HER play?
There is no question that James has been a great player. She may have even
had a great game the last time you saw her play ... but then again, the second
to last game Larry Bird ever played, in the semis of the 1992 Olympics, he
racked up a dazzling performance that showed everyone what kind of player he
once was. That game was in a year that demonstrated Bird's body rendered him
incapable of sustaining that kind of performance. Were the Celtics to have
eased him into retirement involuntarily, I'm sure people would in like fashion
say "Hey, didja see him in that semifinal game? Wasn't he great? Is Auerbach
smoking Arkansas Polio Weed in his cigars or something?"
It's interesting that Kristen brings up the Canucks, because I've heard a ton
of excuses for Messier's poor play this season ... very few of them mentioning
that he is in his twentieth pro season, tied with Gartner and Gretzky as the
most of any active player, and like Gartner, he may well have run out of gas.
That's nothing bizarre, and may well apply to James.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Ask any player on the team as it is right now, tell them they can have immunity from repercussions, and you will know the truth.
What is bizarre is the human psyche. We are like sheep. We get told someone is too old and can't keep up. That person is now labelled for good. Just because someone says it, doesn't make it so. The truth will come out one day. Someday when a person isn't afraid to talk, it will come out.
And please will everyone stop comparing her to Messier? There is no comparison there to make. If you must have a comparison with a man, in terms of the importance to woman's hockey she would have to be compared with Wayne Gretzky. Not so much in style of play but more in what she has done for the woman's game. She is what is called a "big game player" or a "game buster". It was true years ago and it is true now. Ask the old workhorses.
Go Canada!

I guess I should have been more specific regarding a Midwest College Club Tournament. It was held in Ohio last year and we had heard it would be held there again this year. Does anyone have any information? Thanks!!

"Dazzlingly good" Team Canada Profile airs during Olympics
THE GAME OF HER LIFE, February 7 on CBC TV
On the same day the puck drops on the first-ever Olympic women+s hockey
game, CBC TV is airing a repeat broadcast of the NFB+s The Game of Her
Life. The acclaimed profile of Canada+s national women+s team airs
from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm ET, on Saturday, February 7.
Hailed as "dazzlingly good" (Broadcast Week) and an "excellent
documentary" (Starweek), the action-packed film documents the thrilling
human drama of the team+s historic progress towards the very first
Olympics to include women+s hockey.
Director Lyn Wright follows the team from the excitement of the 1997
World Championships, where the women pulled off a sudden-death victory
over Team USA, to the Olympic training camp in Calgary, where rookies
and veterans alike battle for the honour of representing Canada at
Nagano.
Wright captures the passion and skill of the women on the ice, as well
as key behind-the-scenes developments as players meet one-on-one with
head coach Shannon Miller to talk frankly about their chances of making
the final roster.
Narrated by CBC sports broadcaster Mark Lee, The Game Of Her Life gives
viewers unparalleled access to the team, providing a stirring portrait
of a remarkable group of young women as they get ready to play their
hearts out for Canada at the 1998 Winter Games.
The opening ceremonies of the Olympics will be broadcast on CBC TV on
Friday, February 6. CBC TV will also be broadcasting women+s hockey.
The Game Of Her Life was produced for the National Film Board of Canada
by Silva Basmajian, whose previous credits include the 1995 NFB feature
documentary Baseball Girls, about the history of women and baseball.
An exclusive extended version of The Game Of Her Life, including
highlights of the team+s Olympic achievements, will be available soon
on home video for just $19.95. Advance orders can be placed through the
NFB+s toll-free number, 1-800-267-7710. For more information on the
film, visit our website at www.nfb.ca/teamcanada

I'm trying to track down contacts for Chicago senior women's teams, for an
Ontario player who has moved to Chicago. Are there any Chicago people
here? (Erin? Dara?)
