GM Kevin Lowe sends scouts round the World looking for a new center
>to replace Mike Comrie and hopefully to win the Stanley Cup. One of
>his scouts informs him of a young Iraqi center who he thinks will
>turn out to be a true superstar. So, Coach Craig MacTavish flies to
>Iraq to watch him and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to
>come to Rexall Place.

>Two weeks later Edmonton are down 4-0 at home to Montreal with only
>8 minutes left. Mac T gives the young Iraqi center the nod to go on
>and he puts him on in place of Comrie.

>The lad is a sensation, scores 5 in 8 minutes and wins the game for
>Edmonton. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are
>delighted and the media love the new star. When he comes off the ice
>he phones his Mom to tell her about his first day in the NHL.
>"Hi, Mum, guess what?" he says. "I played for 8 minutes today, we
>were 4-0 down but I scored 5 goals and we won. Everybody loves me,
>the fans, the players and the media ... they all love me".

>"Great," says his Mom, "let me tell you about my day. Your father

>The young lad is very upset. "What can I say, Mom, but I'm so
>sorry". "Sorry!" says his Mom, "You better be sorry! It's your
