Sorry, they won't rest in peace, they will simply retool and come back.

I cannot make a statement about the goal by Washington in overtime because
I never saw it (not even a replay). However, I DID see the Flyer goal and
there is no way in h*ll you can convince me that an Islander pushed Zezel(?)
into Hrudey. He was completely untouched - the closest anyone came to him 
was that an Islander defenceman (Dineen?) was standing in front of the net
and so the Flyer could not skate out front without running into him. This
goal was a CLEAR case of interference ... and it wasn't called.

Rob may be the only person (well, maybe there are a few other loonies :-))
that thinks Trottier is finished. Want to bet on that one Rob? I say he
has another 100+ point season next year!
