Not watching hockey after your team is eliminated doesn't necessarily make you a bandwagoner. Being the biggest homer when the team is winning and putting the team down when they're losing is what I consider a bandwagoner.

I heard that the Prime Minister called up Sidney Crosby and congratulated him.. Do you guys know if the Prime Minister invites the team to Ottawa?

I heard a lot of people were sent home without autographs, because time ran out due to the massive line up

Looks like Balsillie's bid is done. I'm glad the judge sided with the NHL.

Hey guys, a bit off topic but I got my dad a Cristiano Ronaldo autograph jersey which he signed himself with my dad’s name. I want to have it framed and give to him before or after father’s day; can you guys suggest any places that will be able to do this?

On a side note, Burke rips into Heatley about demanding a trade...and he has no interest in him because he did that to his team.
lol isn't that what Pronger did to the Oilers and he had no problem trading for Pronger.
I love how Burke manages to put himself in the headlines by giving his opinion on the matter when one one cared for his opinion anyways.

I have a few reasons but the main reason I'm glad his bid failed is I don't like how Balsillie forces his way in anytime a struggling team is put on the market and says he's going to move the team no matter what the NHL or the board of governors has to say. Remember, he was about to move the Pens a few years back and look at the Pens now.

According to a report on Swedish website expressen.se, Daniel and Henrik Sedin are looking for identical 12-year contracts worth $63 million each, similar to the one signed by fellow countryman Henrik Zetterberg with the Detroit Red Wings.

I wouldn't doubt their salary being top heavy and easing off near the end. TSN does state it's fairly similar to zetterbergs contract so yeah. 5.25 is a good price per year average for the twins.

The beauty of the current CBA is that it could be front-loaded to $8M/year the first couple years, then dropping off after that, and it still only amounts to a $5.25M cap hit.
Assuming the rumours are true, this would be a pretty good deal for the team. Who was just suggesting letting them both go and taking Heatley at $8M?? Yeah, that's a replacement for ONE of them... where you gonna find a SECOND point-a-game player for the remaining $2.5M?

Just saw that report too...point a game players are hard to replace....other factors makes me think that you would have to at least consider it..i don't mind it...
Factors for me that would make me want to sign them:
-Have never had major injuries or even missed substantial amount of games
-Have never complained about coaching or coaching systems
-Have put up excellent numbers despite having a 1st line winger to play with

So far, we have 1 goal scorer and 1 playmaker and a bus load of checkers that can score once in a while.
As good as the Sedins and Luongo are, that's still seriously lacking for any serious Cup run.

Think what you want about the Sedins but for a 5.25 mill cap hit there is no question this is an insane deal for the type of production they produce on a year to year basis. I'm totally down with this deal assuming the numbers are true.
