• Comment on Kovalev returns to Bell Centre Tuesday night
  I met Mr. Richard just 2 weekends ago out here in Vancover, and he was looking pretty good actually. Had a nice short chat with him. I think his main issue at the game was him not wanting to miss a step on those deathtrap steep stairs that they have at the Bell center that high up. _______________________________________________ "I got to get the Swede, eh?" - Saku Koivu
• Comment on Bettman 'thoroughly disappointed' with NHLPA offers
  Really?... Pronger?? The guy who went out onto the ice intentionally to injure other players with malice and got away with it scot-free... In Pronger's case, I think its more a matter of Karma... Your post was great but you lost it there... lol _______________________________________________ "I got to get the Swede, eh?" - Saku Koivu

  Oh I plan to, but I cheer for the Habs, no matter who plays on the team as I think any true Hab fan does. Not to sound cliched, but; "Its the name on the front of the Jersey that matters, not the one on the back" _______________________________________________ "I got to get the Swede, eh?" - Saku Koivu
• Comment on Bettman 'thoroughly disappointed' with NHLPA offers
  Agreed, lets get some hockey to watch, it might not be "the best players in the world" but it will be a lot of fun to watch people playing because they want to play the game. _______________________________________________ "I got to get the Swede, eh?" - Saku Koivu
• Comment on NHL makes its latest offer to players public
  Fair enough they sell the players (or at least the players that become popular because they are good at the sport), but to have the players it still comes back to the game. If these players chose not to come back (more money elsewhere, retirement, injuries, etc), and they were replaced with others, people WILL still go to watch the game. So in the long run, the product is still the game, just in this case the employees get greater recognition than in other areas. Think of a rock band (as so many people here have been using songs to parody the lockout)... the music is the product, if people like a song, they really don't care who plays it (unless its a horrible rendition.. lol) _______________________________________________ "I got to get the Swede, eh?" - Saku Koivu
• Comment on NHL makes its latest offer to players public
  In response to; twilighthours comment of: "The players are the product. Can’t compare to other unionized businesses." Actually the players are just like any other employee... the product is actually the Sport of Hockey... You don't look at a construction firm or engineering design firm and say that the product is the engineers or construction workers doing the work, the product is what they produce; buildings, roads, design drawings, etc. Just something to keep in mind... :) _______________________________________________ "I got to get the Swede, eh?" - Saku Koivu
