Felipe Alou: Is He Afraid of the Walk?

You call that getting flamed? Brothah, if you think that's getting flamed, then I hope you never get into a real flame war. :-)

  What did the Caps get for Stevens the first time?

It really is the same BS, and I spend a fair amount of time on an LA Kings message board. Although many of the mental midgets over there blame the players, wven they are starting to see through the owner's propaganda. The owners have actually set up a propaganda site, but I can't find the link for it right now.

King Kaufman had a good article in Salon the other day that addressed this. He said the same thing I've said before. Both sides need to choose an independent auditor, selected and paid by the union and the owners. Give him complete access (won't happen) and allow him to answer objections. I do think the sport is in worse shape than baseball was, but that's a gut feeling. I still have no sympathy for the owners.

Go Kings!

  I knew about the Shanahan one, I just wasn't sure about the first one.

I can't remember how they got Marcel. I was only about two years old. This site says they outbid five other teams for him, but I don't know if there was a trade involved with that. I'm getting my new purple vintage (mid '80s) jersey customized with #16 Dionne this weekend.

The Kings have made a number of crappy moves in which they gave up stiff compensation. They lost the picks that became Ray Borque, Phil Housely, and Kevin Stevens in various deals (for such luminaries as Brian Engblom and Anders Hakanson).
