The Montreal Canadiens have renewed talks with unrestricted free agent Mats Sundin. Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey met with the 37-year-old Sundin in California on Wednesday in hopes of restoring talks between the two sides. Sundin has been working out in Los Angeles since early November, where he is expected to begin skating next week. However, while Sundin is showing signs of returning, he hasn't made any decision yet. In mid-September, the Canadiens acquired forward Robert Lang from the Chicago Blackhawks after deciding to move in a different direction from the Sundin sweepstakes.

Nobody can beat T&R at serving up reheated leftovers. Their three favorite dishes are : Sundin, Shanahan and Khabibulin. Lately, they added a fourth: Burke!

There you have it folks. Four T&R flavours: Sweedish, Irish, Russian and ...dog food!


P.S. I know! I know! Copy & Paste is cheezzy! But, T&R doesn't mind doing it, why should I?

Untrue. Vegas does this more than any other city, but they don't have an NHL franchise.

I'd hate to see Sundin go to the Habs. That would be the worst possible spot for him (to me anyways). He should go to Vancouver and help them out. That 20 million dollar contract offer is still on the table. I hope he takes it.

Wow how the mighty have fallen! A year ago Sundin was a hero to Leaf fans, now he's a bum. By his own actions he has only himself to blame for this fall from grace. He's no Wendel Clark that's for sure. In a ranking of Leaf captains of the past Mats would be on the bottom rung in my opinion.

I can't wait 'till Sundin signs with someone so the guys at T&R stop writing about him.

If I may be serious about this for a moment, if Sundin really wants to win a Cup, Montreal would be a great place to go. It would make a lot of sense.

It was a successful Rumplestiltskin reference. I laughed pretty good at that one.
