Mats Sundin confirmed today that he's not planning to make any decisions before the season starts, and will probably play a partial season a la Forsberg or Niedermayer.
In other words... "Hey, remember that shit I said at the deadline about how you need to be on a team from October to June? I can not believe you suckers actually bough that!"

Mats Sundin is the new Brett Favre?

I see that Stephane Yelle signed with the Bruins. I had no idea he was even still in the league. He's been on Calgary for years? How did I miss this? I never watch the Flames but still...

Actually, Favre was the new Sundin.
But think of it this way: remember how long the Favre saga seemed to drag on (and on and on) for? That entire thing happened in between Sundin even saying anything.

Chelios OFFICIALLY signs his one year deal. Year 25.
Panthers agree to 6 tear extension with Keith Ballard. So, where will Bouwmeester be traded in February?

Yes Jokinen for Ballard and Boynton....might be some other riff raff involved, can't remember. Then Florida made the trade for Bryan McCabe. Maybe they will pair their D with Tampa's forwards and form one halfway decent team in the state of Florida.

My friend just told me that the Pens called him and a player will deliver his tickets to him today at 4pm at his house. I offered him $200 to let me answer the door. He declined. I still might show up in his yard with my Flyers jersey.

Is your jersey a Briere jersey? Cause it will almost be like you an invisible--whoever delivers the tickets won't even notice you.

The ECF? I'll assume you are forgetting about the slapper Malkin blew past Biron about, oh, 10 seconds after that hit.

Like Ivan Drago, he can't feel pain. I will give you some players sense pain quicker than others. Steve Downie for example. That is one good explanation for skating away in the middle of a fight.

Or Ryan Malone after Hatcher bloodies him. Sid has an uncanny sense of feeling pain BEFORE it hits him. Like anytime Mike Richards goes after him and Sid curls in the fetal position. Wow are we going to have fun on October 14!! |

Malone at least took the punches (or are we talking a typical Hatcher high-stick?) Downie threw in the towel. I think Sid is just trying to clear the puck with his hand, since 99% chance his stick was broken by a Richards slash. I should know for sure whenever my tix get here. Are you going to stuff your face with popcorn Bobby Clarke style?

For anyone wondering...I am taking the good Dr to the Pens/Flyers game 10/14. I am slightly worried...since as I mentioned, I know I am a couple years older, and remember prior posts about cougars.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I figured they'd send some AHL scrub you never heard of. Are you a full season ticket holder?

Ha Crosby! This is going to be like a McDonald's Monopoly game. You'll go nuts picking up fifty Atlantic Avenues, and never get that Park Park square you need. Because there is only one Park Place square out there and it's in Omaha or Tuscaloosa or Ogden. I can see it now. Crosby goes to one place, Malkin to another. The rest a y'all get a thousand Mark Eatons, Robert Scuderis and Jonathon Filewiches (wiche?). "Hey, guys, look, I got a Minard!"

Well, that's pretty solid actually. I'm still waiting to see how many times the scrubs get sent out, and the guys at the door say, "Who are you again?"

Carolina presented their new alternate uniforms today, though the design has generally been guessed at for a while now. Basically, the shoulder logo (storm-flag-on-a-stick) and primary logo are trading places. The design is also mostly black with only the name and numbers in white with red trim and the red and black pattern on the shirttail changed to black and gray. There will also be a red/gray strip on the sleeve and the lower leg.

If it is the same as last year, only about 20 ticket holders got a visitor, and it was by those pretty much assured of making the team. And around here, some of the "scrubs" are more loved then some of the skill guys. If people got to pick, I would not be surprised if, after Crosby and Malkin, the 3rd choice would be Max Talbot. Ahead of Fleruy, ahead of Gonchar, ahead of Staal. He might even challenge Malkin for 2nd.

I don't have season tickets. It was my buddy and he has a half a season ticket plan. Quote:
Here's an article on TSN on the guys they sent out. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=2490...headlines_main Joining Crosby in knocking on front doors were Marc-Andre Fleury, Jordan Staal, Sergei Gonchar, Brooks Orpik, Maxime Talbot, Tyler Kennedy, Pascal Dupuis and Jeff Taffe. The Pens tape all of these and put them on their website. Last year Talbot delivered tickets to an older lady and she kept calling him Malone. I think this is a great thing the Pens do for their fans. The Pens as a whole, minus the whole almost moving bit, treat their fans really well. Quote:
Chicks dig Talbot. A lot of girls I know are head over heels in love with the guy. If Colby was still on the team you could say the same for him. He was really popular. Last edited by Dr. Sak : 09-11-2008 at 05:21 AM. |

Yep, that is the same article from the PG today. How did they end up with Taffe? He wasn't even signed until a few weeks ago. Everyone loves Talbot. Some of the TV timeout stuff they show on the Jumbotron with him is hilarious. And Colby is a UFA after this season. Is there any doubt he'll be back? Of course, Rico Fata started out really popular here too.

My friend got Leafs season tickets and they were delivered by Tie Domi.
It wasn't a promotional thing, he's just doing part-time work as a bike courier these days.

Alternate jerseys are ok, but I think teams need to take it a step further. I think teams should start having alternate nicknames, so for like 5 games a year the NY Rangers become the NY Tropics with jerseys and other promo items to match.
