My T&R

Despite Swedish reports to the contrary, it appears Mats Sundin has not agreed to join the Vancouver Canucks. The unrestricted free agent's Swedish-based representative, Claes Elefalk, claims the story that appeared in the Daily News is completely false, claiming that reporter Dusan Umicevic contacted him seeking a quote. Despite Elefalk telling the reporter that his information was false, the story was published anyway. As it stands, the Canucks remain one of the team's that Sundin is currently considering, but he has still to make up his mind as to whether or not he will play next season.

Well, it is a little while since we had a Sundin non-story LetsGoPens. Maybe the good folks at T&R thought we were getting withdrawal symptoms. And as non-stories go, this one is pretty good, i.e., it contains NO NEWS whatsoever.

Hopefully this isn't going to be the only topic today ........

Looks like he's off to B.C.
In American Politics, they say the sure way to confirm a story is to wait for the denials to start.

So where are all the Farve bashers?... at least Farve is a former mvp x3 and hall of famer.... Sundin is just over-rated... thus no fuss holding up other team's plans...

Right, them and Toronto. And the Rangers are interested in every player over 30.
Hockey news really is slow in July.

Ahh the "Sundin Sweepstakes." Who needs a player that likes to punch people in the back of the head after the whistle?

ITB, you'll have to be a little more specific about who you're referring to... that comment can be attributed to almost any player who laces them up in the pros...

The Matts Sundin story is as tiresome as the Brett Favre saga in Green Bay! All Matts needs is to throw a couple of tantrums and he'll be just like Brett!
