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 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. |

How about the nonsense of the amount of hockey movies that Canada makes every year (CBC specifically)...god there must be 20 at least for the 70's Canada - Russia series alone, and they'll make 20 more...now they have hockey - the people's history...
It's like there's nothing else to Canada but...
But I do like hockey :p |

Research In Motion's Balsillie Agrees to Buy NHL's Penguins
By Larry DiTore
Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Research In Motion Ltd. Co-Chief Executive Officer James Balsillie agreed to buy the Pittsburgh Penguins from hockey great Mario Lemieux and plans to keep the team in Pittsburgh.
Balsillie, 45, needs approval from the National Hockey League's Board of Governors for the sale to be final.
``Pittsburgh has shown itself to be an outstanding hockey market, and the team has an incredible tradition of success and fan support,'' Balsillie said in a statement today. ``I look forward to owning this team for a long time in Pittsburgh.''
Financial terms of the sale weren't disclosed. Balsillie made an earlier offer of as much as $180 million, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
The team was put up for sale in January by Lemieux, a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, who bought it while it was under U.S. bankruptcy court protection in 1999.
``Jim is a tremendous businessman and a passionate hockey fan, and I think he is going to be a great owner for the Pittsburgh Penguins,'' Lemieux said in a statement. ``I know his hope is to get a new arena deal and keep the team here in Pittsburgh for the long-term.''
The Penguins had the worst record in the Eastern Conference and second-worst in the NHL at 22-46-15 last season, despite a roster that included top rookie Sidney Crosby.
Research In Motion, based in Waterloo, Ontario, makes the BlackBerry mobile e-mail device.

Hamilton can keep dreaming.....there will never be an NHL team in Hamilton. As long as there are teams in Buffalo and Toronto, Hamilton will never get a team. Hamilton has been hoping and hoping for a team but it just won't happen. Toronto and Buffalo won't let it happen as it cuts into their fan base too much. |

Toronto and Buffalo only have two votes. When the league votes on these sorts of things each owner gets a vote.
Million bucks says Jim Balsillie moves the team in a few years. |
