Certain players for certain franchises have earned the right to have a "grace period" and Sakic is definately one of them. Great player and a classy guy.

Is Sundin in that class then Pens?

Considering that he has fielded offers from other teams and is not only deciding on whether to retire or play for the franchise he's always played for...no, he's not. What he's doing does not qualify as a "grace period."

AAAAHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!
Joe's a Canadian!
Please...not even in the same breath can you mention these two!

Dunno what being canadian has to do with "grace period"....

Joe's was a grace period...Sundin's is a vow of silence.
The AAHHRRGG...was for mentioning the two together...
Mats will never be able to hold Sakic's cup.
Joe's canadian. I'm just putting that out there.
Why...because the Canadian Hockey player has a completely different mentality to the sport of Hockey than any other Nationality.
In other news...the McCabe deal if final and he is a Panther and Van Ryn is a Leaf. The Leafs save 2 million per seasnon and gave up a 4th rounder in 2010.

I'm just as tired of the Sundin saga as the next person here but I'd still take him on my team should he decide he wanted to play again. Canuck or not.

McCabe trade will haunt for years..

Can't wait 'til October 9, baby! Sakic and Stastny will light up the Bruins at Pepsi Center. That's right, bostongm... I said it. Do something.

Sakic has shown nothing but class through out his grace period. Sundin on the other hand just seems to be playing everyone along till he feels like making a decision. There is no comparison between the two.

Joe is class personified.
So glad he's playing another year.

4-1? Please. You want a bet, you got it. Stastny will get a hat trick, and Salei and Foote will make Boston's forwards cry like Todd Bertuzzi did in his "apology" press conference.

Is that Stastny's or Chara's drool bostongm?

Nice.

Ruslan Salei will knock Chara out with a crushing hip-check. He will then summon his KGB buddies from Russia to carry Chara off and make sure that he is never seen again.

I think this is the first time I've seen 'jell' spelled like that.

Foote?? hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
