Well, his wife is a lot closer to Montreal now and we know she wears the pants in that family.

Pursuit of toughness? Dang, you guys missed your chance with Boll.

Silly London Kaaaaa-niggits.

The HHoF? What?


Guess Foley's gonna get his name.

And Dale Hunter is going to wake up with a horse head in his bed.

Doubt any of them catch on but who knows. Matt effin Martin's got a 4 year deal here, after all.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Can we leave the CHL stuff in a CHL thread? Don't think I've ever thread-bitched but I care as much about non-hockey related CHL happenings as much as I do about everything CFL.

PPP headlined this as "Fiancé of Hockey Wives star invited to Leafs camp on a PTO".

 

[Puck082]

What about Matt Martin? He'll pretty much fight anyone and is one of the smarter tough guys in the league. Why bring in one of the dumber ones!?

Based on the attendance at BMO field for Argos games, you have a lot of company in that dept. BBB. Commissioner Orridge needs to fix a few items, starting with these stupid challenges for incidental contact.

*bangs head on desk*

/How long does MLSE float the Argos for before banishing them to Mars? This shit isn't going to improve.

Yeah the Argos have never seemed to gain any traction have they? Wonder what that would mean for the NFL coming to Toronto.

If it was only involving the CHL, then yes. But:
1) The Hall of Fame is being dragged into it
2) The CHL team is currently involved in a battle over a name with an NHL team
3) The player at the center of the controversy is a very high draft pick of an NHL team
4) I didn't know there was a CHL thread.

Nothing at all. The two don't correlate whatsoever, just like bringing the Bills ninety minutes north and charging triple for tickets against bad opposition wasn't the smartest experiment either.

It's still a CHL story. Like I said, don't think I've ever moaned about OT and I won't get into anything with you over it but maybe its own thread was warranted. Seems out of place at the very least.

Cody Ceci extended 2 years at $2.8M AAV by Ottawa.

Solid, boring deal with not much risk for either side. Glad to have him signed and ready for camp though. Showed signs of breaking through at the end of last year.

I guess the Wild are going to use Prince's Lets Go Crazy as their goal celebration song this year. I'd rank it as an upgrade over Crowd Chant.
