I can't remember the last time I've seen such a well coached team. They do everything perfectly. They're always in the right position, make the right play - you have to be perfect to beat them for a single goal. If they can make the Islanders look like a bunch of school kids, I'm not sure anyone can beat them - but then people said that about the Oilers 2 years ago. On the subject of the Islanders-Flyers - has anyone else noticed that the Islanders never get a break from the officials this year. There were far more penalty shots called against them than anyone else (sorry, I haven't got the stats handy), and they always seem to get the borderline calls against them. I realize I have a biased view but still ... Is the league actively against them? And why? -- Rick Gillespie rick@ucla-cs ...!{cepu|ihnp4|sdcrdcf|ucbvax}!ucla-cs!rick "She turned me into a newt! . . . I got better."
