they didn't offer him a contract either. Captain or not, it has been nice, but let someone else pick up that big price tag. Money better spent on someone younger, and it will probably be good for him to play with his bro.

it is a series again, even if i didnt watch last game

didn't even offer?

i only read that the price wasn't right. i understand completely that they don't want to pay him as much as he'd like, but it would have been so sweet if he had played his whole career in mtl. but case sundin (for example) showed us once again just how rare it is.

theres only one guy left whom i hope can do that trick, jere lehtinen..


Posted by elFreak on Jun-05-2009 21:34:

in the new nhl it is just not realistic.

if you want a raise you better have the numbers to back it up, and saku's numbers have never been great. I still love his heart, but sometimes it is not enough.

either way more money free for lecavalier

ps sundin played for 4 teams

Ouch. Detroit just unleashed a giant can of whoopass all over Pittsburgh in Game 5. Talk about a momentum swing after losses in Games 3 and 4.

Oh baby!

In the other news - the all-so-secretive NHL Constitution ( ) is finally out of the closet.

Check it out. I KNOW you're curious. And I've got your attention.

All the secrets are out. The NHL constitution is now a matter of public record, as is the fact that Toronto Argonauts co-owners David Cynamon and Howard Sokolowski are among four different bidders looking to buy the Phoenix Coyotes.

Both were part of court filings today, part of the tit-for-tat messy business in the fight for the future of the Coyotes.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman revealed the five groups in a court filing today, arguing to bankruptcy court judge Redfeild Baum the team should not be sold because owner Jerry Moyes is ignoring the league's constitution.

Bettman said Moyes hasn't made a "good faith" search for purchasers, instead jumping on to Jim Balsillie's bandwagon. Balsillie wants to buy the team for $212.5 million U.S. but is seeking the court's help to move the team to Hamilton over the NHL's objections.

The court will hear arguments on the relocation issue on Tuesday. Lawyers from all sides filed their arguments overnight.

Cynamon and Sokolowski could not be reached for comment.

Bettman said the other groups include Chicago sports magnate Jerry Reinsdorf, Coyotes minority owner John Breslow and a Phoenix businessman who wants to remain anonymous.

"These local expression of interest in owning the Coyotes ... and the city of Glendale's willingness to participate in enhanced partnership initiatives designed to improve the team's financial performance ... all indicate that relocation may well be unnecessary," Bettman wrote.

But the secretive world of the NHL's backrooms is now out in the open.

The NHL's constitution � how it works, how the league is operated � is revealed thanks to the Phoenix Coyotes bankruptcy case.

The entire document was included in filings that go to the heart of the legal case as to whether a bankruptcy court judge has the power to sell the Coyotes against the NHL's wishes and allow it to move to Hamilton, also against the NHL's wishes.

Lawyers for Moyes and would-by buyer Jim Balsillie have marked up parts of the constitution they say are unlawful and anti-competitive, including parts that protect the 50-mile territory of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and allow the board of governors to vote on ownership and relocation.

if people still have doubts about fleury and osgood (i always thought over rated and not that good), they only still do if they are on crack.

also: looks like another canadian team is gonna happen, too bad it will be wasted on hamilton. Still better than phoenix.

Three, because the Swedish team doesn't count.

I have to admit that I didn't have any recollection of him playing for the Nor-Dicks.

His best years were with them IMO.

osgood was pretty amazing last night and i thought fleury bounced back from game 5 wonderfully. glad this will go 7. there is a good amount of time between now and friday so both clubs should be relatively rested and ready to play some good hockey. can't wait to see who wins...


Posted by notelfreak on Jun-11-2009 19:59:

i just want the off season to start so bad.

i am going to the draft too, but only because it is free with all you can drink booze. I can't imagine paying to go see that, holy boring.


Posted by WithoutAngles on Jun-12-2009 06:07:

Let's go Pittsburgh! Although the odds do not look good for them, I mean just look at all of Detroit's home games against them this series. Pretty one sided if you ask me..


Posted by chimera66 on Jun-12-2009 12:34:

none taken


Posted by notelfreak on Jun-12-2009 17:09:

man i was drunk last night

so tonights the night, and i am actually a bit excited.


Posted by chimera66 on Jun-13-2009 02:51:

fleury was unbelievable tonight. it is almost like the changing of the guard. detroit was phenominal during the playoffs but the pens came out HARD. congrats to both clubs and what a great game 7.


Posted by notelfreak on Jun-13-2009 03:37:



somewhere in a remote part of the north pole dubam is touching himself to this image.

way to go

let the off season begin.

that last second save was out of this world, lidstrom had the tie on his stick but dove across and said, "nu uh, u look like a gay".


Posted by sponger on Jun-13-2009 10:46:

peeeeeeenguins!!!!!!!

soo happy they won what a great game 7!

i still cant believe they won, i thought for sure detroit was gonna win at home, after the first period i couldnt believe how much better penguins were playing than detroit, completely shocked. this game was totally different than the other six and im super stoked about the pens victory! Marian Hossa loser for leaving pit haha

That is correct.

I still can't believe they did it!

PS. It looks like Saku is gonna play alongside Teemu next season. *crosses fingers*

I feel bad about him leaving, that we've already established. But ANA is certainly not a bad option.

I can picture it now.. Selanne - Koivu - ??? = Profit.


Posted by notelfreak on Jun-16-2009 00:04:

as long as he can't come back to haunt us by playing for a team in our conference i will be happy for him and wish him the best of luck

havent posted in here in forever...
anybody have any idea what's gonna happen to phoenix

and lulz at hossa and conklin for that matter on their "decisions"


Posted by bamski on Jun-18-2009 05:42:

Jay, I read an interesting article last night about the massive decline of Europeans getting drafted, a step in the direction you was hoping for, yes?

Just read last night that they will stay in Phoenix.

The court did not approve the purchase because the deadline is on the 29th of June, and he doesn't have enough time to sort everything out before that.

He's also tried to buy the Pens and Preds in the past, apparently his goal is to buy an American team and relocate it to Canada. I guess it's just a matter of time before he succeeds.


Posted by notelfreak on Jun-18-2009 06:56:

i want more europeans in the nhl dubbie the thing is i just want those who aspire to win a cup more than a gold medal. There are tons of great imports in the nhl, but there are also tons who collect a paycheck and show 0 heart. I hope you understand this D, as some of the best hockey players in the world comefrom europe.

I just want them to play to their ability. I love my country too, but if someone paid me a few million a year i would love them more.

the phoenix saga is not over

the judge basically said work it out or move. The problem being that NO ONE in phoenix has stepped up with $$$ I really hope they move anywhere, hockey does not belong in the desert.
