Galley regains happiness after signing new contract
Many people thought Garry Galley wanted out of Philadelphia last spring as the Flyers’ season crumbled around them. He expressed dissatisfaction about the way the team was run. The conflict was alleviated during the off-season when coach Terry Simpson and GM Russ Farwell were tired. Galley never asked for a trade and the Flyers, short on experienced defensemen, weren’t about to make one. Instead, president-GM Bob Clarke continued contract negotiations with Galley, who was headed for unrestricted free agency. The 31-year-old Galley agreed to a three-year contract Jan. 28. The deal, according to agent Ron Salcer, is for slightly more than $1 million per year. “I always wanted to be here,” Galley said. “It was never an issue. Sometimes, you do things and you make mistakes, but it doesn’t mean you don’t want to…

Plans for update sets back on rails after lockout
Will card sales go south because east never meets west in the NHL’s abbreviated 48-game schedule? There is some concern in the hobby that interest in rookies, usually a driving force in collecting, might be tempered by the intra-conference schedule. “It’s tough to say for sure,” said Pinnacle hockey director Jon Kramer. “But maybe Paul Kariya won’t be as popular in the east because we don’t get to see him play.” Upper Deck’s Rich Bradley believes hockey’s popularity has grown to the point where younger players have reputations with fans even before arriving in the NHL. “The true collector will dig up the top rookies,” Bradley said, “whether they play in their city or not.” With that in mind, card companies have been scrambling to bring out updated and traded series over the next couple…
Crisp forges on despite detractors
Terry Crisp gazed at the hill of anti-Tampa Bay Lightning propaganda placed on the table before him and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The Hockey News had picked his team to finish sub-subterranean. An NHL annual criticized Crisp for “always screaming at the officials,” and added, “he sometimes berates his players in the press, which is wrong.” In the end, the 51-year-old, who owns one more Stanley Cup ring as a coach than most of his peers, laughed. After 30 seasons farming hockey soil as a player and coach, Crisp has finally figured how to filter the wheat from the chaff. “That stuff is false,” said Crisp with galvanic tones that suggest that his batteries have been re-energized. “No. 1. nobody influences officials by yelling at them. Three years ago, I…
