Ok, I normally dont write about crappy teams, but Salary cap is distressed over this team. Mats Sundin is the only player on this team that is giving an honest effort. For his efforts, the team is thinking about trading him to a winning team. When does loyalty to the player to make sure he has a chance to win a Stanely Cup take over? We saw this with Ray Bourque when the Boston Bruins traded him to the Colorado Avalanche. How does salary play a part in this case? My guess is that the Maple Leafs will not trade him. Mats Sundin will not receive the same courtesy of being traded away to a contender. How do you appease your fans by trading away the only man trying and scoring on your team? What kind of message does that send? Like to hear thoughts if you think this trade will happen or should happen…
Summer is just around the corner and my family & friends will soon be gathering for picnics, soccer games, barbeque’s, etc. I’m not going to let what happen last summer with my lawn repeat this year. Inviting people over for fun in the sun in the backyard was quite embarrassing having my lawn brown and torn up. I’m a senior in college and the last thing on my mind is worrying about how attractive my lawn is, but when I saw the faces on some of my close relatives concerned on my “well-being” I knew I needed to contact a Connecticut landscaper fast.
This year I want to surprise my family & friends and show them that not only can I handle college, but I can also handle my lawn. First, I asked my college friends, which to no surprise were very unhelpful on knowing anything about lawn care services. Then I did some research and came across a Monroe lawn care provider. I have been talking and reading articles on Teed & Brown’s website and they have the solutions to all my lawn care problems. For once, I am looking forward to my family and friends gathering at my home.
Ok, I have had along break from blogging due to the fact that work is busy and well, lets just say life is hectic. I have gotten a lot of comments about Steve Downie’s sucker punch on Blake last week. With Bob Clarke defending it this is my take as a fan from Philadelphia.
It wasn’t a fight. The linesmen had them seperated. Any fight was over at that point. Ask any NHL strongman (or Don Cherry) – there’s an Enforcer’s Code. The moment the linesmen come in – fight’s over. Period. It’s about respecting each other.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming Downie 100%. It was obvious that his emotions were still boiling over. Part of the blame lies with the linesman who was restraining him. Downie should not have been able to punch Blake – but the official failed to prevent this. Downie, however, chose to punch Blake when he was fully restrained by the other linesman. That’s foul play & disrespectful – it goes against the Enforcer’s Code.
Bobby Clark (of all people) should understand that I’m rather disappointed in him. However, with that being said…
This is where a Philly fan is torn…I loved it, but I think hockey players need more respect for each other on the ice…nothing is better than a clean check…Scott Stevens shoulder…thing of beauty…A cross check or cheap shot, not so much…so torn…Salary cap is waiting to responses on what goes over the line..
