You say pithy, I say truth. It's okay - let's pretend your issue is with the Leafs and not a western Canada inferiority complex that has spanned generations.

Take that back! I love model ship building. I have reported you for this.

In 2012 Stamkos was 5th in the league in endorsement money. Nobody from the Leafs in top 15. I know it was two years ago but it's the first list I could find and doubt it's changed vastly in that time. And it was under 1 million and still top five. Hockey endorsements apparently don't pay much.

- BINGO!

We're not the ones complaining Calgary (or Saskatoon) is considered the centre of the hockey universe, friend. This is hockeybuzz - not provincial-politics-buzz.

i don't mind vinny, he got caught in a bad situation last year when lavy got fired and chief came in, his game didn't mesh with burube's plan

going into this season they will play him at center on second line and he and berube will be on same page and i think he'll drop 30+ goals and 40-50 assists

then we will trade him next year for s.weber

Sorry, I've spent so much time on my car phone lately. Works been crazy, my Enron shares have been going through the roof.

I've long forgotten the original argument - and for the record there is a 0.001% chance Stamkos leaves TB at his next contract - but I believe it centred around SS being able to attract a greater $ in endorsements due to the media exposure in Toronto. He'd catapult no doubt to the top if he ever did sign here, but realistically that's not happeneing. Let's not forget the GTA is the 4th largest market in North America behind Mexico City, LA and NYC...people around here may not like that fact, but a fact it is.

I am going to have to insist on complete sentences from you if we are going to continue this back and forth.

Pretty good. Just enjoying the summer. I've turned on the TV about 5 times since the end of the Stanley Cup, all of them to watch a bit of the World Cup.

(we'll get back to hockey) But does a Stamkos thrive in a hockey market, especially TO where there is no time away from the rink? endorsements fade if the product on the ice isn't at super star levels...
