M Hurley Sakic's career is in the same range as Shanny. great player and class act. UK Ranger I hate the idea of Shanny coming back with a bonus (if somehow allowed) that would impact the following yrs cap. like throwing good money after bad. I liked Shanny but his time has come and gone. Orr good point about Ivanovic. she’s sweet looking.

Nice to hear from Wade, and Nazzy. Now if we can only find the hole Nicky is stuck in, we'll be good to go. BTW Is anyone else depressed that Ivanovic, and Sharapova aren't in the US Open. Now my summer is totally shot. Thanks Garden.

In that IGN article about NHL 09, the screenshots include Sundin in a Maple Leafs jersey. I guess they have no other choice besides not including him at all!

He told the Swedish newspaper Expressen yesterday that he’s embarked on the most difficult off-season conditioning program of his career. “I want to show that I can play better,” he told Gunnar Nordström. “I really want to have a good year and have trained harder than ever this summer. “I feel better prepared than perhaps ever before an NHL season and I’m aware that it is important that I get a good start in New York.” If he’s going to replace the offense lost when Jaromir Jagr left for the KHL, Naslund will have to recapture some of the excellence he displayed prior to the NHL lockout, when he was among the best players and best leaders in the NHL. He was an NHL first team All-Star for three consecutive seasons (2002, ‘03 and ‘04) and won the NHLPA’s Lester Pearson Award in ‘03 as the league’s top player as voted by his peers. Two guys who will vouch for Naslund’s leadership are the Sundin twins, who told Expressen today he was “a great captain and very popular” in Vancouver. It’s difficult to say if Naslund’s drop in production was caused by his advancing age (he’s now 35); the fact that his linemates during the great years, Brendan Morrison and Todd Bertuzzi, were either also less productive or, in Bertuzzi’s case, gone; or that he played for a defense-first coach Alain Vigneault in Vancouver. But Naslund knows his new coach, Tom Renney, from when he was a younger player. “He was our coach in 1997-98 and I have only good to say about him. It’s obvious that he has been coaching for a while now. My situation is also different, I was young then and was just trying to earn a spot on the team. I think that we will have a different relationship now.” And he’s looking for a boost from the Garden crowd. “There will be real push there. You felt it even as the visiting team. The fans and the media are demanding, and we must be prepared for that. It might help to have played in Canada and in the press that exists in Vancouver.” Nice to know he’s getting ready.

They can still hold a press conference to welcome the new guys and introduce them to the fans and keep it a little more subdued. The only reasoning I can come up with is that there is something going down or has gone down in the background. It's just too quiet. Beer Me!

I wanna see them all together, and in NY. I mean some players are already training with there new teammates. Naslund disappeared, Redden is with Spezza, Phillips, and some former Sens teammates, and you wouldn't even know it if Zhedev was dead or alive, cause i haven't heard him say a word since March i think. Its pissing me off, just introduce the guys already. BEER ME!

Been a Cardinal fan for 10 years, Ranger fan for 9, Steelers fan for 27. McGwire got me interested in the Cardinals, Gretzky the Rangers and the Steelers was down to my Great Uncle Joe who sent me a Steelers jacket for Christmas when i was 8, just as UK TV started showing games on a Sunday night. I rely on Satellite TV, Internet and occasional visit to the US to follow them. The reason Phoenix is cheaper than Prague - my wife is BA cabin crew and happens to be flying out there on Tues-Saturday, so cheap standby ticket for flight, free hotel room and £20 seat for game. Anyway - enough about me. Have we signed Shanny or Sundin yet? Timay. Been a Cardinal fan for 10 years, Ranger fan for 9, Steelers fan for 27.

But maybe they're taking caution on not over-hyping the new guys this time. Last year they built it up as if they were god's gifts. This time, I think I get it.

I figured Renney was gonna scratch him for the two game, but eh. He said he should be in New York next week, hopefully by monday. Flames just introduced there new guys, Nyr needs to do the same already. Redden said that he should be back in Ottawa soon, so i guess he will play a pre season game there.
