I HOPE he has one more great year in him...just for his sake. I always liked his style of play.

He lives literally down the street from me, so I see him in the offseason from time to time; he definitely looks leaner than in the past.

Kane has been indicted for misdemeanour assault and theft charges, he'll be arraigned tomorrow.

Maybe he'll have to do some community service?

Bert lives in Ontario? For some reason I always thought he was out west. What city are you in? (no stalking)

I believe Bertuzzi is from Sudbury.

He played junior in Guelph and ended up marrying a girl from Kitchener. He spends every off-season here with the wifey and kids. I saw him in EB Games buying Guitar Hero (supposedly "for his kid"

), and I just saw him last month grocery shopping. That's when I slowly backed to my car to retrieve some sort of neck protection

. j/p, he'll chat you up for a bit if approached, but not many do because he really doesn't appear friendly at all.

Speaking of stalking, Todd would always bike around his wife's neighbourhood when they were first dating around 15 years ago. My buddy lived next door and he'd try to keep up with him and asked him about guys he'd fought the last year, and Bert would always say something like "oh yeah, that guy's fuking dead next time"

.

I'd say strong obscure hockey knowledge, but you are a Nucks fan and should know that

Apparently the cabbie wants a public apology so if the Kanes are willing to do that maybe the lawyers will arrange a plea bargain.

sad story...

Montreal's Corus Sports is reporting that Jose Theodore's two month old son has died.

According to the report Theodore's son passed away last Friday, but the cause of death is unknown.

Canucks Re-Sign Luongo to a 6 year deal worth 6.75

**markusjj85** · 08-26-2009, 03:51 PM

So it looks like the Coyotes will remain put in Arizona for the time being. I would honestly like to see the team moved though as they never should've left Winnipeg in the first place. I would like to see the team moved back to Winnipeg, to Quebec, or Hamilton (even though it is very close to Toronto).

Far out, he must have some confidence in whats going on in the organization.

Hmmm, TSN hasnt confirmed this. There main page states that they have a deadline but no deal yet. I hope he does resign as he can carry a team to the playoffs alone, let alone the potential the nucks have this year. Could be a long year for the NW division opponents.

NW used to be the closest division, this year it could be more lop-sided. Van and Cgy will go 1 and 2, Minnesota is the wild card with their new coach and Havlat. Col and Edm will be fighting for the basement.

In other news, Bettman is showing his massive doucheness again. The NHL's bid to buy the Coyotes for a measly $140M includes a provision that allows them to move the team as early as next season. This will allow Bettman to move the team to Kansas City or Vegas and cream his diapers along the way. Sadly, this doesn't surprise me at all.

i think if the nhl buys the coyotes, then they should not be allowed to move the team.

CTV reported it was a done deal a few days ago and that both parties were waiting for the Team Canada Camp to end before announcing it.

Oilers will finish above Minnesota and the Avs.

**Monkey Helmet** · 08-27-2009, 02:36 PM

I'm ready for the preseason to start.

TSN is saying that Luongo has set a Sept 13 deadline for the trade talks as he doesn't want any distractions when training camp starts.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=288968

TSN is owned by CTV... weird that they would report different stories?

True.

Oilers will benefit by having Bulin in net. The Avs could surprise people also with the addition of Raycroft since the goaltending has sucked so bad the past couple of seasons.

The Wild are going to be pretty bad. They simply don't have the personnel to play a quick offensive game after being stuck in the neutral zone trap days of Lemaire. God that was a ****ing snooze fest. Hopefully they can turn it around in a couple seasons.
