Islanders' GM Bill Torrey and  Bruins' GM Harry Sinden are good
buddies.  It may be that Torrey didn't see Goring really fitting into
his plans, and decided to give Sinden a helping hand.  The Bruins are really
hurting in terms of injuries, and are falling behind the 'Surging
Sabres'.  The same problem is now catching up with the Canadiens, who
areeffectively tied with the Sabres going into tonight's matchup at
the fabulous Forum.
