As soap operas go, the Mats Sundin sudsfest is getting as loopy to follow as Coronation Street. Just when everyone thought Sundin's choices were down to three -- return to the Maple Leafs, take big bucks with the Vancouver Canucks, or retire -- and that he would decide by today, agent J.P. Barry told a Vancouver radio station that six teams were in the hunt and Sundin could take well into August to make his call. "The number (of teams) has gone up, not gone down since July 1," Barry told the Team 1040 yesterday. The Leafs, Canucks, New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens are thought to be in the six-pack, while Detroit has dropped out. At least it appears Sundin will play somewhere in 2008-09. Leafs general manager Cliff Fletcher has given up trying to put a time frame on this saga's end, but won't get into a bidding war.

T&R is like the playground bully who doesn't stop tormenting his victim until he manages to make him cry. Is that what you want, T&R, tears? Is it? Well it's getting damn close I'l tell ya .......

So he went from 2 teams to 6... and the teams aren't considering him... HE is considering them. All this means is that he isn't getting want he wants because... NOBODY wants the choad!

This just in!! Sundin is considering playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Green Bay Packers . Little did anyone know he is just that damn talented.

Ahhhhh, that's better. Those DTs were nasty.

I knew they couldn't go more than one day without a Sundin story. BTW, I have to laugh at the Corronation Street reference. Try using a soap opera from this continent.

I hear one of the teams chasing Mats is the Swedish women???s badminton team where the level of body contact is such that Mats would fit right in. The next time Mats throws a body check in the NHL would be the FIRST time.
Wow! What a job writing for T&R must be, getting paid to write the same BS over and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, again????????????..Maybe they should change the name from T&R to BS & more BS

I wish they would all say forget it to Sundin... why would you want a player who is lacking so much heart and the drive that it takes to win... and lead..

Where did Yoda's posts go? He was first on here this morning .... damn you T&R! The cursing wasn't even that bad ....... lol

Looking for best money deal but he better just be glad to play if he keeps playing games..

August 1, 2008  09:57 AM ET

Let's pony up that beer money, folks. So far only $2.00 has been pledged, $347 to go. If you want him signed you gotta pay the piper. It's a deal breaker, I'm tellin 'ya.
BTW, I only had long island iced tea and wine last night, I'm pledging my beer money now. $7.00 to the Sign Mats ( as in Surrender Dorothy ) Fund.
