Lindros a Leafer

So Eric Lindros, one of my close friend's cousins finally fulfilled a lifelong dream... to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

For the record, Eric is a Rolex guy. His daily driver is a rolesium YachtMaster, which he wears everywhere (and it's pretty beat-up).

I don't know what this will do for the Leafs but you never know after a year of no action. I'm really looking forward to this year's hockey season.

He has great taste in watches, but I will put the over under at Christmas before he gets his "next" season or life ending concussion.

When he was healthy he was a beast, about unstopable, until he ran into Scott Stevens with his head down, that would stop most automobiles.

Well, I hope he actually gets to play some games!

Home town news for us today is Joe Thornton signing with the Bruins for $20 million over 3 years..........that's insane (i'm not sure there is any "job" that should pay that much, even in sports).

So much for the cap bringing down "all" the salaries......

Agreed on both counts. Lindros has a target on his helmet, so one good check and he's out.

Now that I'm in Ottawa, I face the dilemma of whom to root for, my beloved Leafers or my second fave team the Sens. I don't think I can shake my loyalty to the the best 'almost' club in hockey though... But hey, even the Rangers had to wait 50+ years for Lord Stanley's cup. Maybe this year is 'our' year.
