A Gift To Mats

August 18, 2008 @ 08:56

The latest to come out of the indecisive world of Mats Sundin is that he's leaning towards the New York Rangers.

It's being denied by Sundin's agent J.P. Barry, but that's predictable, agents are supposed to deny everything before it happens.

But apparently Mats is attracted to the bright lights of Broadway, and lets face it, he proved last spring he doesn't care about winning a Stanley Cup so his choice to go there is not necessarily to win. It's probably more a lifestyle thing.

I hope this story is true. Actually, I hope any story about Sundin going anywhere but the Leafs is true.

I've stated many times before on this site how I feel about Mats Sundin. He's a wonderful hockey player, but he's also over-rated and has been way too much credit for his contribution to the Leafs.

I know, call me crazy but that's the way I feel. He's not nearly the leader he's promoted to be.

Anyway, here's the deal. I just happen to have a whack of "Aeroplan" points, if there's any way I can expedite Sundin's departure out of Toronto and into New York, I'd be willing cough up a few thousand points to get his ass on a plane so he can go cut a deal once and for all.

It may sound crazy, but I know what athletes are like. Even though they make millions, they don't like to pay for anything. They don't expect to pay for anything because everything is handed to them.

So if Mats is sitting somewhere wondering who's going to pay for his plane ticket to New York, and if for some whacked out reason the Rangers won't spread their cheeks, I'll give him some Aeroplan points.

I'm willing to do this for all concerned, but mostly for Maple Leaf fans, who don't realize it, but the Leafs will be much better off without this guy.

No doubt the Leafs need to rebuild.
I suspect they'll play tight New Jersey type hockey this season.
Too bad Leafs can't get Gomez for Sundin. Now there's an underrated exciting player.

This whole thing is beginning to feel like a band-aid. It's more painful getting rid of it slowly than it would be in one quick action.
So Mats please, on 3, ready?

Good point Buffalo Boy. Without him they'd probably be an also-ran franchise with little or no success over the past 15 years.

Oh I don't know, maybe with a Captain named Sydney Crosby and a winger by the name of Malkin.

Why are there no far more these types of blogs? Your articles or blog posts are wonderful and come in themes, which cannot be identified anyplace. Make sure you keep on writing these kinds of good content, it's truly beneficial. The internet is total of amazing waste, as one is happy in the event you find one thing else. Why aren't there a lot more? Don't leave me hanging!

First, Pettie is a "rat" who will take down anyone in the name of religion. Hopefully, Clemens will have a trial before his peers which means the jury will be composed of major league ball players including those who took drugs and those who did not. This will result in a hung jury. MLB and many players should be concern about Clemens taking his case to trial as MLB and some players are going to be "burned" badly. Hopefully this is the last year I have to listen to Pettie and his Texas "tange".....:-)

It seems like Bud Selig's stupitidity will continue to haunt baseball. The trial is set for April 5. Another baseball season starts with PEDs as a major topic of conversation. Great idea the Mitchelll report. It was supposed to put the Seroid issue behind us but it seems to have put it front and center, year after year......:-)

Actually, i know. It truly is pretty hard to distinguish between both of these. Both are America haters, hell bent on it’s wrecking. Both together criticize This country and People in the usa incessantly. What follows is a hint, Barack obama certainly is the one at this moment being successful in spoiling The nation.

Excellent! I additionally heard that Tx Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz who went on the handicapped list 3 instances this period due to hamstring muscle problems, left Game 5 of the ALCS due to a tight left hamstring. But he's saying that he will be in the lineup Friday night when the Rangers attempt to finish off the New york Yankees and make their very first trip to the World Series.

What I wish to know is why should I care? I mean, not to say that what youve got to say isn't significant, but I mean, its so universal. Everybody's referring to this man. Give us something extra, something that we can get behind so we can really feel as excited about this as you do.
