Charlie Barr, Kingston, Ont. Kudos to Ken Campbell for writing the best article I have ever read in THN (Urban Legends, August 2). The story of these two remarkable young men truly describes the essence of hockey – perseverance, determination and an unflinching desire to achieve their goals in the face of extraordinarily long odds.

James Neeson, Toronto Everyone needs to stop whining about the salary cap. It's been around for several years now and every team has to comply with the cap.

Steve Lourenco, Dover, Ohio As a lifelong Flyers fan I am saddened to see the Simon Gagne being traded. If the NHL did not have a salary cap, Gagne would still be a Flyer and probably for the remainder of his career.

Glen Cuthbert, Hamilton, Ont. With the recent media hype surrounding the "Big 3" NBA free agents (LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade), I began to wonder: Could the same thing happen in the NHL? It's not likely, but what if the NHL made it happen basically every year? The answer is simple: don't allow contract extensions.

Logan Gordon, Calgary It's becoming hard to follow my beloved Flames this off-season, especially after they announced Jay Feaster as assistant GM.

David Zuba, Brigantine, N.J. As Donald Fehr presumably gets ready to take the reins of power to the NHLPA and lead the players into the next round of CBA negotiations with the NHL in two years, I am left to ponder what issues threaten the league at this time.

Joe LaValle, Fishkill, N.Y. Does Ken Campbell have crystal ball? Because his May 10th Goalie Ga-Ga column is spot on for this off-season. After the success of names like Mike Leighton and Antti Niemi in this year's playoffs, it is clear that goalie is not the make-or-break position it was assumed to be.

Steve Pyle, Greenacres, Fla. I was sad to hear we lost NHL 'tough guy' Bob Probert. During his career, it seemed like he was fighting in every game, maybe every period.

Ryan Porter, Lower Onslow, N.S. I enjoy watching the NHL Awards, but Las Vegas is the wrong place to have them. Hockey doesn't belong in Las Vegas.

Ryan Bricker, Oshawa, Ontario About five years ago, I switched allegiance from the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Atlanta Thrashers, in large part due to Ilya Kovalchuk.

Joe Connor, Pennsville, N.J. It was unbelievably sad to read of the passing of Bob Probert. There is no good age to leave this earth, but 45 is way too young.

Brett Hornall, Vancouver I read Edward Fraser's article in the most recent THN Fully Loaded magazine about how the old Hartford Whalers jerseys are still super popular and fans can again buy them online.

"Last year we came in as maybe an underdog, quietly. Got off to the right start just because teams weren't really ready for us. But this time around that's not the case. They realize we are a good team and they're ready to go against us, right off the get-go."
- Los Angeles' Colin Fraser. The Kings have lost two in a row and are now tied 2-2 in their series against the San Jose Sharks.
