Chamber of horrors over; Shawn realizing potential
Two days before the Tampa Bay Lightning opened its first training camp, Phil Esposito wrote down a few names on a sheet of paper. The Lightning president-general manager listed 14 players he planned to trade before the Lightning embarked on its second season. Shawn Chambers’ name was- and still is-on the top of that list, but the 6-foot-2, 200 pound defenseman needn’t worry about being dealt to another team. Esposito is just holding on to the list to remind himself of how great a comeback Chambers has made. After spending the better part of the two seasons trying to rebuild a wonky left knee that nearly ended his career. Chambers has emerged as one of the most promising defensemen in the league. His value has increased considerably since he was drafted by the Lightning…
Bettman supports owner
The NHL turned up the heat on Edmonton city officials on the eve of a crucial deadline set by Oilers’ owner Peter Pocklington. League commissioner Gary Bettman endorsed Pocklington’s intention to move the five-time Stanley Cup champions from Edmonton if he could not get a more favorable lease agreement from Northlands Coliseum. “I’m hopeful that your current, negotiations in Edmonton will result in improved lease terms that both resolve the Oilers’ current difficulties and provide a model for resolving similar problems faced by other clubs,” Bettman said in a letter to Pocklington May 10. “If those efforts fail.

Top players show abundance of heart and talent
The two finalists for The Hockey News/Black Velvet Player of the Year are as dissimilar as two players can be. THN readers selected Pittsburgh Penguins’ center Mario Lemieux and Toronto Maple Leafs’ center Doug Gilmour finalists for the player of the year award. Lemieux is six inches taller and 60 pounds heavier. In fact, the one thing they have in common is the size of their hearts. The latest chapter in Lemieux’s fame is his recovery from Hodgkin’s disease. Ninety five per cent of people treated for the disease at the early stage recover but Lemieux, whose back woes forced him to confront the possible end of his career, had to grapple with a mortality far more serious than that of his career.
