Paul Mara it is...1 year

google translated the hell out of that. im most impressed with google right now (less so with the capitals)

Rangers and Marc Staal agreed to a 5-year deal.

The deal is worth $19.875 million, a source with knowledge of the deal told ESPN The Magazine's E.J. Hradek, with a breakdown of: $3.1 million this season; $3.675 million in 2011-12; $3.775 million in 2012-13; $3.875 million in 2013-14; and $5.45 million in the final year.

I'm watching tonight's Bruins-Islanders rookie game on the Bruins website. Tyler Seguin is playing for the Bruins. It's nice to watch some hockey again.

Bob McKenzie did a piece today on cancer-stricken former coach Pat Burns over at TSN.ca.

Maybe one of the most moving pieces I've ever read in sports. Truly great stuff.

All but 1 Sabres' game on TV in 2010-11 - Business First of Buffalo

I don't get why the Dec. 21st is an exclusive VS window? What does that mean?

[Suburban Rhythm]

We are getting close....

Preseason opener, Pens- Wings, first game in the new building.

No TV ...but listening to the radio feed.
Pens up 3-0 in the first...

Some of the VS. Monday and Tuesday night games are supposed to be exclusive (think ESPN Sunday Night Baseball), so no other games can be televised during their time, even locally. Happened to the Sharks a couple times last year.

SR - What happened last night with Orpik/Franzen/Bertuzzi? Franzen is livid at Orpik and said it was the stupidest play he's ever seen. I haven't seen video on it though. Sounds like a knee to knee hit. I guess Bertuzzi went after Orpik after but like I said, didn't get to see it.

Unfortunately, no one I know has seen it either. I was listening on the radio, there was no TV feed. Orpik got 5 and a game, but Babcock saying it's a charley horse, so that sounds like knee/thigh rather than knee/knee.

Best I can guess, Crosby sent Orpik out to get revenge for game 7, 2009 SCF.

Peter Mueller suffered another concussion. Not good news for him.

Sounds like a great idea for success.
