Can we impeach VP Brian O’Neill?
How is it Brian O’Neill did not suspend Jamie Macoun for breaking Pat LaFontaine’s jaw, then turned around and gave Viacheslav Fetisov a five-game suspension for accidentally high-sticking and cutting Mario Lemieux? In his explanation for the Fetisov ban. O’ Neill said, “It is clear that the action by Fetisov was extremely reckless and careless in that he swung at the face of his opponent. Players must be responsible for their actions.” Perhaps it’s just me, but wasn’t Macoun just a little bit reckless and careless? Shouldn’t Macoun have been held responsible for his actions? Is there any way we can we impeach Brian O’Neill? Nick Fuca Norwalk, Conn. Stop the lies I take exception to THN’s characterization of Daryl Lubiniecki’s “weak-wrist” remarks as an “AIDS faux pas” (THN, Jan. 10). To frame it this way’in both…

Younger - generation is in good skates
The NHL faces a Catch-22 situation at center ice. Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Mark Messier dominated the 1980s down the middle. They were the game’s three best pivots, its three best players, and remain among the premier players today, although Gretzky has experienced some difficulties this season. That is both comforting and confounding for a league that has come to rely so greatly on so few. A changing of the guard might lend some vitality to the league but the three are such extraordinary players they will dominate as long as they don skates. Waiting in the wings (actually at center) is a trio of 22-year-olds who may not achieve the level of statistical superiority as their predecessors but promise to be long-term impact players. Joe Sakic, Jeremy Roenick and Sergei Fedorov represent the younger…
Some scorers having trouble keeping up with this Jones
Western Michigan right winger Keith Jones is a D.I.E.-hard Bronco. The Brantford, Ont., native has excelled this season because of his adherence to the Broncos’ team slogan D.I.E.: discipline, intensity and enthusiasm. “We’re going to push him as an all-league player and an all-American,” said Broncos’ coach Bill Wilkinson. “He has really turned into a heckuva college player. Anytime we need something positive, he’s there.” Jones ranked among the Central Collegiate Hockey Association’s leading scorers with 13 goals and 35 points in 19 games. He had 30 goals and 49 points last season, and isn’t finishing around the net the same way this year. But he still averages 1.84 points per game and is a top two-way forward. “When he has to block a shot, he’ll drop down and bounce right back up,” Wilkinson said.…
