Toronto the hated

What else is new?

Well, for one 'Toronto' made the call taking back that Canucks goal last night. Of course, the guys in the "Big Joke" are simply jealous that no playoff hockey is going on in their own backyard, so why not screw over those lucky enough to be involved? Fuckin' Toronto. It's all your fault. As usual.

What is it with Sports figures and hotel rooms? Another has lost his life in one of these lifeless places. Shitty, man.

From the Canadian Press:

DENVER - Police say Colorado Rockies president Keli McGregor was found dead in his hotel room in Salt Lake City on Tuesday morning. Detective Rick Wall said two of McGregor's associates couldn't get in touch with him and that someone entered his room at the hotel in downtown Salt Lake City and found McGregor unconscious. Wall said it was unclear who discovered the 48-year-old McGregor. Police were called about 9 a.m. local time and emergency workers arrived on the scene and were unable to revive him. Wall said the investigation has been turned over to the medical examiner's office. He did not have any additional details.

Don't do it, Brian

July 1st is a comin'.

Listening to Bob McCown, thought I'd revisit a previous post.

I have no problem with the Sedins twins, but I might if they end up playing for the team I support. Are we to believe these guys will contribute more in Toronto, where the process forward is several steps behind the organization they'd be departing? No chance. The Sedins are a notch below what most of us would consider NHL Stars. They're good, honest folks, but not what the Leafs need right now. Its not a Swedish thing, I just don't feel they're the right fit in Toronto. Okay, say for a minute they did sign here...and stunk. Wonder how they'd absorb and exhaust the media's BS? Vancouver's a tough place to play, but Toronto can be much worse if things don't go your way. The Sedins would offer double the target to pick on.

And at what cost?

Some believe Henrik and Daniel will ask for $12 t0 $14 mill combined, per year. Wow! And let's just forget about it. Brian Burke has to resist the urge to go berzerk with all of this new blue-and-white dough at his disposal and think of what's to come. I know I'm not alone when I say this: please save, Brian.

Better days ahead

The 2010 market is expected to bear much bigger, more delicious fruit. And hey, if the Leafs keep their cash under the mattress just one more year it could then be unearthed for the pursuit of Brampton's best: Rick Nash. Injuries, big ticket and all I'd take Nash in a heartbeat. And I know I'm not alone on this one either.
