Saturday Night Hockey Notes

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- I’m disappointed in Igor Larionov. He’s on the Hockey Hall of Fame committee and could advocate for Sergei Makarov. If he does that, he doesn’t do it very loudly. Makarov is the most deserving player not in the Hall. It’s a shame that hasn’t been corrected..

- Not once in watching most of Phil Housley’s career did I think Hall of Fame.

- I’m thrilled the Leafs Corsi Close has improved to sixth in the NHL and that they’re playing “the right way.” I’d be more impressed if they weren’t 28th in goals-for, 27th in goals-against, 24th on the power play, 22nd on the penalty kill and last in the NHL in wins.

- John Gibbons ran into Scotty Bowman late in the baseball season. Bowman, a ball fan, wished Gibbons good luck in the playoffs with hope he’d win a championship. “If I get one,” said Gibbons, “I’ll only be 11 behind you.” Corrected Bowman: “You mean, 13 behind.” He said it with a smile. Sort of.
