Farber on the Forum

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:43:54 +1900

Sports Illustrated has asked its writers to pick their favourite venues. Michael Farber chose the Forum . In recalling the ghosts, Farber writes: They were in the rafters with the retired jerseys, stampeding with the fans when the doors opened before the game so they could get a good spot in the standing-room section, hanging out in the cramped corridors where they were getting ...

JP Barry's comments on Team 1040

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:35:07 +1900

As expected, Barry didn't let many cats out of the bag during his interview with Pratt and Taylor this afternoon. But he did kind of narrow it down as to who Sundin may choose. I don't have the interview word-for-word, but I took notes. The following is as accurate as I could make it. -Barry mentioned that it was unfortunate that the Sundin story wouldn't stop. Sundin had been spending time ...

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:58:42 +1900

Gainey plays cool salary-cap game

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:05:00 +1900

Which brings us back to Gainey. The Canadiens' GM already has all his players under contract for the 2008-09 season and still has roughly $7 million in cap space in case Mats Sundin decides to come to Montreal as a free agent or a big-name player becomes available during the season on the trade market. If Sundin doesn't come, defenceman Andrei Markov will be the Canadiens' highest-paid player ...

Waiting for Sundin

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:20:00 +1900

Tragicomedy's probably a good name for this one. Fans in Vancouver are either pulling their hair or crying their eyes out. In Toronto, it's a real mixed bag of emotion, while the Habs are rather Zen about the whole thing. Everywhere else, there are chuckles all around. I haven't covered the Mats Sundin saga at all this summer because there honestly hasn't been a whole lot to say. On July 1,

NHL drops the ball

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:57:07 +1900

Break out the Old Style beer and your Clark Griswold Blackhawks jersey because the NHL is coming to Wrigley Field! The NHL announced last week that the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks will face-off in next year's Winter Classic at Wrigley Field on New Year's Day. I guess the NHL rewards lame duck franchises. The Blackhawks have struggled to draw fans in one of the largest ...
