"Sens and Stuff"

Heatley stays

Woot woot. Per TSN, Heatley will be a Sen for at least 6 more years. Gotta say, signing him for under 8 is nothing less than a coup for Bryan Murray. People can only speculate what he could have gotten on the open market, but obviously it could easily be a million or two higher. Next up for the Sens will be Spezza, although don't be shocked if Kelly is the priority. Paddock loves the guy... Read More »

Therefore, I've decided to come up with the team that would draw the most penalty minutes and be the m... Read More »

Economic Impact sports facilities (arenas, stadiums)

Much is being made of Nashvilles support levels for the Predators coming from various levels of government. Some might be suggesting that Nashvillians don't truly support their team if they don't want to see tax dollars spent on it. Of course, it should be remembered that CANADIANS didn't want to see their tax dollars going to fund hockey teams either. In this blog I aim to show that the over... Read More »
