LEAGUE NOTES

          NHL: Referees working the remainder of the Stanley Cup
     playoffs "have been instructed to consult video review on
     all goals where there's even a question of an in-the-crease
     infraction," according to Larry Brooks of the N.Y. POST. 
     The edict returns officials to the standard under which they
     worked last year's playoffs as well as the first month of
     the '97-98 regular season (Larry Brooks, N.Y. POST, 5/29).

     J was scheduled to film bits with Jose Canseco, Randy Myers,
     Kenny Lofton and David Justice (TORONTO SUN, 5/29)....The
