    JSBB, I'd have been comfortable with Aubin and Telqvist myself. The priority should have been a front line forward to play with Sundin, and Defence (McCabe or a replacement, a three defenceman to play with Coliacovo, a five man to play with Kronwall).

    After the way them dumped on Telqvist down the stretch I think his days in Toronto are pretty much over. Aubin played very well down the stretch but I don't think we can count on him to play so well next year.

    We have McCabe signed now - I would have rather we used that money to pick up someone who can actually play defence instead of being a fourth forward.

    I agree that they need to get some good wingers to work with Sundin. Gary Roberts is definitely NOT the way they should go regardless of whether or not he wants to be traded to Toronto.

    If Ferguson does trade anything of consequence for Roberts, I'll try on a Senators hat...

    Not saying I'd actually pay money for one...

    The Leafs added Size to the Blue line, landing Pavel Kubina and Hal Gill today. Now just get a scoring Forward to play with Sundin and we may be all set...

    You've got to almost feel sorry for English sports gurus at the moment.

    Soccer team - out of the World Cup one the basis of a couple of kicks

    Rugby team - World champs three years ago, but can't win anything at the moment

    Cricket team - won the Ashes last year, but getting smashed by Sri Lanka at home

    Tennis - Henman eliminated at Wimbledon again.

    At least your rugby league team beat a Kiwi 2nd XIII last week.

    What you think about the Bertuzzi trade (and Bryan Allen and Alex Auld) for Roberto Luongo?

    I don't like it. Vancouver needed to ship Bertuzzi away, but not along with two overachieving, young CHEAP players. Sure they got a great goalie in return... his salary seems too much when Cloutier/Auld could have made most of the standard saves for 4-5 million dollars less.

    Getting the Sedins signed for three years was a good move though ;) As was getting Willie Mitchell... good solid defensive player for a few million.

    I shed no tears for the Canucks. They get Luongo, arguably the best goalie in the game today for a player that drastically needed a change of scenery. The other two players were the price of a deal they felt safe taking to the fans...

    Ozzie Guillen is a ****ing idiot. I really some angry Tigers fan does harm to CWS' ridiculous manager. 6 Sox in the All-Star game and not one of them starting... Thome, it doesn't represent the strength of your club, the Tigers are a better team and only have 2 guys going, no Thome, it represents just how poor of an All-Star manager Guillen is. Ozzie, the All-Star manager is suppose to pick the best players to go the the All-Star game (cuz God knows the fans can't), not to pick the best White Sox players to go to the All-Star game.

    Fred Trueman has passed away recently, the game of cricket has lost a legend. He was the first player from any country to reach 300 wickets. Quite a few have beat that total now, but not many can get close to his astonishing strike rate and average.

    RIP, Freddie.

    Nearby, he was a Yorkshire born and bred. I'm a Derbyshire born and bred. Supposed to be enemies, but I'll let it go in his case :) .

    Legend.

    Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman announced his retirement today. It's really no surprise, but he will be missed. 22 years, all with the Detroit Red Wings, 198 of them as team captain. Yeah, I bleed Blue and white, but my hat is off to Stevie Y...
