woodstown@excite.com: Hiya Jeff-

Do you know of any other nhl teams that use man to man coverage in the defensive zone? it seems the other teams love to cycle the puck and create some kinda pick to open up the slot against the blues. I'm not buying this man to man stuff in the nhl...

Thanks
Jeff Gordon: I see execution trouble more than I see X and O trouble. Tactically, Murray has proven himself at every level. But the D IS a mess in its own zone.
Michael Kent: Rick Ankiel is having a great spring, but do you feel his bat control has improved enough to earn the "Young Musial" nickname that you've given him?
Jeff Gordon: The Young Musial thing was originally derisive, but then the kid b4came legit. It is unlikely he will ever hit like the real Stan, of course, but he should add power -- lots doubles, HRs and RBI to go with a LOT of strikeouts.

This appears to be the last questions, so I'll wish you well until next time!
Andrew B.: What's this? Hakim wants to try out?
Jeff Gordon: That is what he is telling people. I can't speak to his conditioning level.
