Canucks sign Alex Burrows to a 4 year $18 million extension.

He has until 8:59 pm Arizona time tomorrow to sign somewhere.

Porter and Tarnasky put on waivers.

Ennis is talking to his agent this afternoon, we'll see.

I don't think that's a vacuum cleaner handle. :w00t:

Carlson, Lehtonen, Colaiacovo, Abdelkader and Pouliot all signed in the past two days. Where's Ennis?

I think this from Vanek shows what's up with TPegs: It’s just a bit strange when Terry Pegula will not be allowed to communicate with us. Last Monday we had our annual charity golf tournament and everything was as always, no talk of bad blood. Terry is the best owner you could hope for and maybe he can move the other owners a bit. He sure doesn’t want to miss too many games. Hier hofft haben wir eine Saison in diesem Jahr, damit Sie Ihre 40 Tore bekommen können!

Bettman's in charge. Before the last lockout he got the bylaws changed so that a higher percentage of team owners were required to override any proposed agreement with the NHLPA. Bettman's been around a long time. He keeps trying to get the owners to spend less and less. He knows the owners will shoot themselves in the foot every time and spend spend spend. The owners want the players to give up more of the money to help out the financially weak teams. The players want the richer owners to help these struggling teams. I'm sure there's plenty of owners that want to play hockey, not just TPegs.

Our goal is to ensure that Season Ticket holders consistently receive the lowest price throughout the season. With dramatically reduced prices in the lower bowl, and no price increases for the upper, the 2004-2005 season offers seating options to fit any budget. With new variable pricing for individual game tickets this season, Sabres' Season Ticket holders can save up to 70% off of the Box Office price on select games. Becoming a Sabres' Season Ticket holder has never been easier. Each seat will be held with just a $50 deposit (lowest in the NHL) and Season Ticket holders will not be asked for additional payments until after a new collective bargaining agreement with the players has been reached. Fans can also choose a plan of three installments over the summer, or pay in full. Either plan is refundable with 2% interest in the event of a work stoppage. If you want all of the benefits of a Season Ticket holder but don’t have the time to commit to the full schedule, become part of the Sabres’ Share-A-Season program and enjoy all of the perks of becoming a Season Ticket holder with only half the cost. In Share-A-Season, you choose your seat location, group of games and number of tickets. If another fan enters the program desiring the same location and number of seats, the Sabres will match you up and the two of you split the season 50/50. Circa 2004

Phoenix and Washington offering interest or credit interest on season ticket holder money and will suspend taking payments. Phoenix offering full refunds too.

Sounds like more than few owners aren't happy about lockout.

I blame solar flares.

Can't explain them, just know they are there. This is funny:

With the green grass wallpaper?

You need to tell the whole story here so people understand it. Yes, the players want to de-link the two. Yes, they want guaranteed raises. But they are all for capping those raises. Year one would be capped at 2%, anything over that the owners keep (probably a little over $200 million), 4% yr 2, 6% yr 3. There's some safety's in their if it goes under 50 or over 57.

Threesome! Pics or it didn't happen

A regular National Enquirer discussion.

Ah, ur so sweet. Thanx 4that

Just so google picks this up. Terry Bross Terry Bross Terry Bross Terry Bross

Typical lobbyist?

Don't care. They're pretty much 50/50 now. Both sides should take it.

Not sure.

I withheld my last season ticket payment that was due today. ######'m.

The Caps have signed forward Troy Brouwer to a three-year, $11 million contract extension.

Don Fehr: "We have some things to tell them today." Hopefully something like "We'll take the deal".
