Is the Sun capable covering the Leafs??

Apparently last years #1 line will be reunited - Lupul, Bozak, Kessel.

Apparently the 4 games they were together to star the year means they were the #1 line, even though when Lupul came back and didn't play on that line.

Just putting it out there as a reminder....Steve Simmons writes for the Sun.

Doesn't the NHL video game come out today? Is it cheaper to buy games on the day they get released (sale promotions maybe?) or a week or so later?

Im not really a gamer and haven't played/bought any games for 2 years now. My XBOX and Kinect are nothing more than a DVD player at this point. That said, im actually pumped for the new GTA and NHL games so it looks like i'll be breaking my gamer slump twice this month.

Morning ya'll.

Wait till Futureshop/Bestbuy has those 3-1 days. You can bring in 3 used games (specific games only) and they give you a new one for free. You can check it out on their website but thats how I got NHL13...

Not sure if they still do it but worth it to check it out...

That's exactly what came to mind when I heard they gave him a PTO. Seems like a bit of a strong arm tactic to get Kadri to take less. (Similar to St. Louis inviting Whitney to camp)

They only seem to want current games... not the old ones that you'd want to turn in!

Will they take NHL'94?'

Cause, well, you know, it's the greatest hockey game ever produced.

Good one. I have not poured enough coffee down my gullet to be that sharpe, yeti this morning.

Dreger said kadri will get done soon. Said 2 yrs around 3, Raymond will probably get 650-700k and franson gets 2 mil x 2 yrs.

It's a shame Yeti sold us out. Banished from our glorious Leaf nation he is.

Any links?

Its a too bad about Franson. He took his bridge deal last year and out played Gunnar. Should have gotten more and for longer, than the 2x2...oh well. I hope you, Dreger, is right about all this...

I agree, I hope Franson plays lights out and gets a big payday next year or the year after ( hoping the cap goes up enough we can keep him )

I'm usually crazy busy with work and related travel Sept - Oct, so I just keep an eye out for a used copy, by November there's usually quite a few out there on eBay/Kajiji. I've paid $20 or less the past few years and had a PS3 version by mid-Nov. Maybe I got lucky but last year a got NHL13 late October for $20, local Toronto pickup and nothing had been activated on-line.

As much as I like to tinker with my own lines, that also lets the roster/line updates settle down by then as well. ie Kadri, Franson, Raymond.... Liles.
