I'm planning on going to see the Canes for one of their SoCal games. Can't decide if Ducks or Kings would be better.

 

My friends nephew always goes to canes games here, he plans trips around it lol cant wait till the hawks select him in the top 10 in 4yrs

 

All I know is tickets to see the Canes would probably be cheaper in Duckie territory and I like Anaheim more.

 

Now that we got rid of Bickell's contract I really wouldn't mind the cap going up as little as possible so it's impossible to take all the money we just saved and absurdly give it to a Shaw bridge contract.

 

Devils have 17 sets of back to backs by my count

of course. every year they are up there with the most.

 

Ducks game is gonna be wayyyyy cheaper. Especially if you grab tickets on stubhub.

 

Canes open with a 6-game road trip because our arena is on state fair grounds and mid-October is state fair time. So dumb.

 

Yeah I'm leaning towards Ducks. I've been to Staples before so I'd like to see a different arena.

 

DO IT RAY

 

Also if you're into beer theres a couple of great breweries in the area and restaurants I like to pre-game at before heading to the game.

 

Just saw this on Reddit. Jesus.

 

So Yzerman has capped his offer at 8.5 mil. Stamkos can have a shot at the cup and continue at 8.5 mil or choose to take 10+ with Buffalo or Toronto.

 

Has anyone ever even said Toronto offered 10+ to him?

All we know so far is Buffalo and Detroit have supposedly offered 10+ to him and Lightning are firm at the price you said.

 

I don't know much about him. Is he a better prospect than Pulk/Jurco?

 

If Francis pulls Athanasiou with the Datsyuk contract I'll be dancing

 

There has been no price/term mention from Toronto

 

"it'd have to be a trade that makes sense" is the trendy GM trade talk this year.

 

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's more just fan/media hope for Stamkos rather than actual front office work.

 

nope just heard it on 1290 tsn radio at lunch. I can't confirm Toronto made that offer.

 

lmao ok

 

Is Rick Ralph still doing Jets casting at 1290? He used to be my radio broadcasting teacher. The story of what happened to his ex girlfriend (ex wife?) is absolutely crazy.

 

ow

 

Yep he's still on 1290. I have not heard the story of his ex wife. Will look into this now haha.

 

hahaha

PIT retains 100% of contract.

 

A dreadful affair | Toronto Star
