I would argue that: "It's not about the money" is the biggest crock of sh*t used by pro athletes today.

Case in point: Zdeno Chara.

"It wasn't the money or that I wanted to run away. I just had to move on."

Yet, before that one he gave: "I believe they thought I was going to get an offer around $6 million and then I was going to call them to say I wanted to come back," said Chara. "We had 23 teams contacting us. We had 15 teams make offers and seven teams over $7 million (San Jose, Los Angeles, Edmonton, Washington, Toronto, New York Rangers and New Jersey)."

But it wasn't about the money. Uh, OK.

Shanahan is off to the big apple.. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=170921&hubname=">http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=170921&hubname=</a><!-- m -->

Too bad he turned my Habs down, would of been a good addition to the team. It seems we just keep getting fucked over this off season, what a joke. We seriously need a first or second line centre in the worst way, Im starting to think players just dont want to go there, must be the taxes and the media I dont know. You watch Gainey will go sign some 3rd line bum from another team as a last resort, I feel sick...

CRAP! I thought he'd be going to Montreal for sure....the Habs haven't made a big splash yet this off-season

the news last night said peca was close to signing with the leafs and would take a pay cut to play for his favorite team as a kid .

I was very glad when i read Brendan Shanahan signed with the Rangers on the ticker last night before i went to bed. Helped to relieve some of the frustration of the motor going in my boat last night, if only for a few seconds.

hehe...I bumped into him at Tim's once in Summerside when I used to work there a few years ago...PEI is small so when you see someone that you saw on TV, anyone, it's usually a big thing


as for le tricolore, they've been pretty quiet with the free agency, at least we re-signed Cristobal and Bouillon, and the kids(Higgins, Komisarek)

Maybe Gainey will trade Aebischer for a good power forward or something useful..we'll see
