The money is going to the Nanotechnology Center + Institute for Quantum Computing (they are in the same building), which is in the hands of the university and the IQC.

Co-op labour isn't nearly free. Granted, salaries aren't usually as high for co-op students as they are for other employees, but the students do get paid according to their experience. So it balances out.

Get a fucking clue, there's more to this world than the last Tiesto set.

Even for Hamilton to get a team they will have to pay Toronto millions of dollars just to have a team there. The NHL rules state so. I believe its 75 miles from another team.

Yeah, thats all true, I just heard that two minutes ago too (and before.....)

you remember when Colorado (the Rockies, not the Avalanche) became the Devils? They had to pay New York, New York, Washington and Philadelphia about 5 million each, and that was back in what, the 80s? So maybe Balisillie will need to pay Toronto and Buffalo about 10-15 million each. Its all part of the purchase price, makes that 175 he paid for Pittsburg more like 200.

Its part of the deal, not a deal ender.

well he was complaining that they interviewed hockey players and didnt talk about hockey really. so what? do you not see the point im making here? and whats with this "get a fucking clue shit"? take it easy

the insight from players and coaches who really have nothing to say is funny.

It usually starts with "We just have to go out there and...

...give 110%"
...focus on the fundamentals"
...play *our* game"

wow...words of wisdom!

I'm actually pretty easy, didn't pick up the sarcasm, you know, this is the Internet and all, tone doesn't really get carried.

I certainly do. Its all good, and I must say sorry myself for jumping. I know you're not the type (now .....) but the people that think this is a trance only site kinda bug me.

Originally posted by ChemEnhanced its not ticket sales that concern Toronto....but all the merchandising. The league will not allow it to happen......its been discussed before and it just won't happen.....give up the hope because it will not happen.....there will not be another team in Ontario. The only possible places for teams in canada would be Moncton (huge huge huge long shot simply because there isn't enough people), Quebec City (unlikely it will happen but they have proven before that it can work) and Winnipeg (this being the best shot for a team).

Toronto has one of the highest (if not the highest) merchandising markets of ANY sport.

Sure they'll balk at the initial thought, the immediate knee-jerked reaction will be that they'll be stealing revenue from their market.

If they'd step back out from their vaults for a second they'll realize that any healthy competition breeds marketing dollars.
They'd probably MAKE money in the long run.
Besides, how can they loose if they're already been monetarily compensated before a single game is even played???

I think the difference is that they are broadcasting and here this is a message board, regardless of its name the discussions that go on here are what is important to the people who make up the community of the board.
I wasn't trying to be big brother like with my comment and was by no means suggesting that this type of talking be banned, all i was saying is that I find it annoying.

OMG did you guys see the Maple Leafs last night?! Holy cow!

Originally posted by shanny Don't get me wrong I'm happy that the hockey season is back, but there is definately something that comes along with it that I could deal without. I just watched an interview between Michael Landsberg and Jason Spezza and Danny Heatley. It was bloody ridiculous. I just hate how canadian sports broadcasters blather on and on about the most pointless shit if it even remotely relates to hockey. Bob Mackenzie is one of the worst! Welcome back hockey, but take it easy on the analysis of what colour laces the leafs are wearing.

lol <3

edit: I can totally read this rant with josh's voice tone (and SPEED) thus making it THAT much more funnier.

I know how much you love my stories Jon...

I usually get to about the third or fourth line of one before you tell me to get to the point already.

PS I don't watch hockey...I just heard the score from a co-worker
