Seems funny to me that Sundin would wait till Thurs to announce his decision out of respect for Linden. Feels like he's coming here and doesn't want to take anything away from Linden's night. If he were going to NY why would he wait? Retiring Linden's jersey would be the perfect way for fans to take their mind off it IMO.

Hopefully any way it goes the Nucks win because we have $. I'm still drooling over the Gaborik + Hossa rumours a few pages back.

I'll be in the 8th row vs. Ottawa on the 28th so I hope if he does sign that's his first game!

Nice PS there too. I bought it. LOL

Lol @ Oilers but I feel bad laughing because I think the Hawks will waste us on Sat night.

damn that Linden video hit a soft spot, I used to idolize Linden when I was playing hockey as a kid, boy I wish I could go see the ceremony tomorrow.

Roach 12-16-2008 08:35 PM

Hawks are looking damn impressive. Nice to see the Oilers getting smashed to oblivion.

If Canucks can blow them out tomorrow, maybe we'll see McTavish's head?

McT and Lowe are lovers, I don't see him going anywhere unless the Oilers go on some crazy losing streak. And the Oilers have a decent team, all they need is a decent goalie.

I wanna get tickets to tomorrow night's game but they're all $250+ :mad:

The oilers will be pissed and come with a way better effort for tommorow.

hopefully the canucks can match the intensity, for linden of course.
The canucks owe him for the sorry ass display they showed on Lindens last game.

Harvey Specter 12-16-2008 09:42 PM

I wish the Leafs were still in the Western Conf..

Just watched the news and they said the Rangers offered Sundin $4.5M a year, pro-rated. That is less than the $10M a year Gilles offered.

Harvey Specter 12-16-2008 10:56 PM

I can't see Sundin turning down that deal from the NYR if it's true.

Tim Budong 12-16-2008 10:59 PM

if its true
it almost takes nothing outa nyr

Roach 12-16-2008 11:11 PM

Was just driving home and heard on 1040 that J.P. Barry has said in a late interview with the Vancouver Sun that Sundin's decision would be at the earliest on Thursday.

The saga continues...

Seems to me Gillis said his offer to Sundin will expire as of the Christmas roster freeze (not those exact words, but something to that effect. After Friday, no roster moves can be made until the new year.

Wait...

4.5 pro-rated = normal $9 mill contract? or 4.5 pro-rated = 2.25 cap hit?

I'm going to assume its the latter because they're going to have to salary dump a couple of roster players just to fit him in with the first one.

Grandmaster TSE 12-17-2008 12:08 AM

not gonna happen unless sather can magically pull 5 mil outta his ass

How the hell is that a power trip? You were being a douchebag posting a some false info and hope.

If this were my section, I would have banned you. If I were on a power trip, I would've just straight out banned you regardless of if this was my section.

Way to go tips. :rolleyes:

I got mine from a buddy that couldn't go (girlfriend dragging him on vacation...lol). Got a pair for me and my dad for $125. Then went and spent $250 on a Linden jersey...the skate logo.

Can't fucking wait.

Got corporate seats for the Chicago game coming up too.
