Trade rumour talks and Cape Breton

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

Trade rumour time is coming to a close and one big defense man has just come off the market. Rob Blake is going to be staying in LA. He and management had talks and he wants to stay and help rebuild the team. Once you get paid 7 mil and have won a cup it makes sense to stay were you love!

Has anyone heard more about the Mr. Suck rumour that he is going to be fired? The lastest I have heard/read into is that all the GM want the instegator rule gone but Mr. Suck still thinks it will ruin hockey in the US. [Has he noticed the popularity of UFC. This could be the point where the GMs dump him, they got their salary cap, maybe it is time to start from scratch with a new Commish! That would be my vote! Quick props for my Cape Breton Real Estate agent Terri Brewer. She was fantastic in helping me find a place. Be sure to check out her Cape Breton Real Estate Listings

Ticket prices and the instigator rule…

Last week I attended a game in New Jersey, my favorite team, when the played against Pittsburgh. I was shocked at how few fans were there to have a chance to see Crosby play! Crosby is the next huge star for the NHL and in Jersey no one seems to care. Two weeks ago in Toronto top seats were going for $850 a piece! Crazy stuff…but show the difference between many US cities and Canadian cities.

Has everyone heard about the possible “repeal” of the instigator rule? I am not surprised about this move especially since Crosby and Ovechkin have just started their careers and are the most exciting players today. Check out more about the story on instigator rule.
