Pre-Season is Over – Puck Drops Tomorrow! Lang signs – Sundin Retires for 1st time – No Balsillie News

Is Jonas Gustavsson stealing the starters job from Vesa Toskala?   That’s the buzz in Leaf Land.   Ya never know, but the rookie has put on a show.   I think Brian Burke wants to start with Toskala and have him play well enough to be traded.

Mats Sundin to retire for the 1st time? L I N K If that rumor is true I don’t see it sticking.

Great Article on The Rocket L I N K by Shawn Gates.  Shawn if you read this, Maurice was “The Babe Ruth” of hockey.   I was fortunate to work and travel with him when he was reffing the Old Timer teams that used to bus around Canada.   It was humbling being with the living legend who was in his 70’s at the time.

I still will always remember watching him take his stick out before the game; even though as a ref; and flicking some pucks into the top of the net.    A true gentleman and giant.  I fell asleep once on the bus and woke up to see his piercing eyes staring down at me and a mischievous smile on his face as I’d just ducked getting a hot foot.
