Thursday Junks and Sept 11


Hockey first. Eric Staal re-signed with Carolina through the 2015-2016 season for $57.75m. Not bad eh? But that seems high for a guy who I would barely include in the top five players in the division.

Mats Sundin still hasn't made his mind up about his future. Now Tampa Bay is rumored to be interested in him. How could you turn down $20m to play for vancouver for one year?


Tomas Fleischmann changed his number to 14 after Eric Fehr agreed to change to his WHL number 16. Just one more reason why I dislike Fleischmann. And per Tarik, Jeff Schultz has put on 10 pounds of muscle this offseason. So that's good, and quite honestly it's about time. What I would give to be in Washington on Sunday for rookie camp. Soon enough I guess.
Away from hockey now to something much bigger. Today is September 11. It kind of snuck up on us this year. Maybe it's just the isolated world of a college campus but I didn't hear a single word about that day seven years ago. Not to sound un-patriotic but that's kind of a relief. It's a sign that we're moving on. No matter what, we won't ever forget what happened. I'm just glad we don't need to have a parade or something like that to remind us.
