Small market teams aren’t marquee franchises no matter what Forbes values them at.

Did anybody really think the Cavs were a top ten NBA franchise value during Lebron’s time there? Was someone gonna pay more for them than Ballmer paid for the Clips? Doubt it.

i wonder why they were that deep into interest rate swaps.
all revenues and expense would presumably been in USD.

Canadian teams had issues as all players (of course) wanted to be paid in USD.
Griffiths family invented the Canuck Buck which I think was fixed at 1.25 per USD, but i can't recall there were any takers.

Why am I dreading DeSmith tonight in goal? Have a feeling he will give up at least 4.

No neither are looking good. They are truly winning in spite of those two.

Pettersson has been very good. Who knew that pairing of him and Marino would be that good.

Good thing at least for the olympics that roster is way too good that Crosby could play minimal minutes. Also by then I bet he will be back to form.

Sid needs to cut back on the Timbits commercials
