Nylander’s strong finish Swede success story

How skinny was Michael Nylander? Well, the Hartford Whalers’ rookie center sustained a badly broken jaw Jan. 23 and gained six pounds. “Sounds impossible, right?” said Whalers’ general manager Brian Burke. “Most guys lose 10 pounds from not eating.” When Chicago Blackhawk Brad Lauer plastered Nylander that night at the Hartford Civic Center, the young Swede weighed 178 pounds. When he returned in March from a 15-game absence, he was up to 184. It was six pounds of lean muscle. There was a lesson to be learned. “I had told him when he comes back I want him looking like Nick Kypreos,” Burke said. “But he did work his tail off on the weights.” Under the guidance of strength and fitness coach Doug McKenney, Nylander also went from a 3,600-calorie-per-day to 5,000 calorie diet.

Gretzky running out of chances at Cup

All these years of Wayne-watching out here in the Smythe Division keep you tuned to even the smallest changes in the Great One’s vision of the game and his place in it. Gretzky used to be so self-effacing you wanted to grab him by the throat and say, “Don’t you know who you are? Don’t you realize you’re Wayne Gretzky?” But five years of playing in Los Angeles-five years of trying to sell the game to a largely indifferent U.S. public-has changed that. Now, Gretzky is keenly aware of his place in the overall scheme of things. “When you’re Wayne Gretzky and you’re not winning, you don’t quietly play bad,” he said. “It just doesn’t happen. It’s frustrating when you’re used to winning and being successful. The last thing I wanted to do…

Kingston pays dearly for team’s terrible season

A dismal second season for the San Jose Sharks cost coach George Kingston his job. Kingston was fired April 19 by team president Art Savage. A change had been expected in the wake of a season in which the Sharks (11-71-2) finished in a last place tie with the expansion Ottawa Senators in the overall NHL standings. The team set a league record for losses in a season and matched the record for consecutive defeats by losing 17 in a row. “It is my opinion and the opinion of the owners that the potential of this team was not reached,” Savage said. “We’d like to change the personality of the team. We want to instill a winning attitude. We expect to play hard and win and we expect to get everything possible out of…
