* The <true_name> Keenan  </true_name> hiring is precipitated by the loss of an anticipated $5M
in playoff revenue and fears of losing season ticket-holders (!), plus
Paramount chief <true_name> Stan Jaffe </true_name> 's chip against the Flyers over l'Affaire
Lindros last autumn.  Add to this that <true_name> Neilsen  </true_name> might return as an
assistant coach [<true_name> Gerald </true_name> , what'd I say earlier today??], and <true_name> Roger
 </true_name> conferred with <true_name> Jaffe  </true_name> on the hiring.  This hiring by <true_name> Jaffe  </true_name> went over
the head of MSG, Inc. (Par. subsidiary) head <true_name> Bob Gutkowski  </true_name> and over
the head and the protests of Pres./GM <true_name> Neil Smith </true_name> .

* MSG is making the announcement on Saturday to get back at the
Islanders for making the playoffs (i.e., steal the press).

* Flyers owner <true_name> Ed Snyder  </true_name> is livid and beside himself over this.

* Keenan will make up to $900,000/yr.

* <true_name> Gary Bettman  </true_name> has appointed an independent consul to look at
<true_name> Gil Stein </true_name> 's admission into the Hall of Fame.

* New crease colours, rather than blue?

* The Oilers will charge to eat in the Press Room next year.
