As just about everybody on the hockey planet is aware, the Toronto Maple Leafs have been devoid of a Stanley Cup for the last 41 years, seemingly on the path to 42. In an attempt to be facetious, many Leaf cohorts would happily replace their first-born to see their beloved blue & white win the prestigious trophy. There is quite obviously a myriad of reasons why the Maple Leafs along with their numerous fans have not relished in the ecstasy of Stanley Cup success in quite sometime. Over the years, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) has turned this team into one of the most profitable franchises in all of professional sports. They have focused on the business aspect of this team and they have succeeded admirably. They have continuously put making money ahead of winning hockey games. However, over recent years, the business aspect has seemingly turned against them.
A short summary of the opening night contest between the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In a way the Detroit Red Wings have one of the toughest jobs in hockey this coming season - defending the Stanley Cup. Detroit was the last team to win back to back championships (in ‘97 and ‘98) and is considered a favorite to repeat in ‘08-’09 - which is saying a lot in an era where repeats are rare and more often than not a team wins the Cup and finds their roster cracked open before the start of the next season, the pieces of their Stanley Cup puzzle scattered into free agency, priced out of the team’s salary cap allowances after having proven their worth all the way to the ultimate prize.
The 2008-2009 version of the Nashville Predators are ready to take the ice and prepare for a return to the playoffs for the fifth year in a row. As the NHL ad campaign says, “Could this be the year?”
The Montreal Canadiens have played their young talent for all of the pre-season games. The youngsters played so well that there are rumours that the Habs could be preparing a trade or two.

Recently, there was an article in the National Post on Tuesday, September 9, 2008 regarding hockey goons. They tackled the question of fighters like Jarod Boll and George Parros being overpaid and over supported. Dr. John P. Haisken-DeNew, an economist at the Ruhr and Pestphalian Institute for Economic Research concluded research that showed some players who fight a lot may not be getting points but are still being paid a substantial amount of money. Basically he is saying they are being paid to fight. He thought the players who fought would be penalized financially but this is not the case.
The Montreal Canadiens have wasted far too much energy and time on Mats Sundin. It’s now time to consider option number two, or three.
Unrestricted free agent forward Mats Sundin attended a golf tournament in Sweden earlier this week and told Sportsnet that he continues to ponder his future and has not made made up his mind on where he will play next season.
TSN is reporting that the Detroit Red Wings have signed restricted free agent forward Valtteri Filppula to a five-year deal.
We all remember the Winter Classic played in Buffalo New Years Day. This year the Winter Classic is making its way to Chicago where the Blackhawks will face off against the Detroit Red Wings at Wrigley Field on January 1, 2009.
The hard hitting Detroit Red Wings forward Dallas Drake from Trail, B.C., Canada announced his retirement from hockey after playing 16 seasons in the NHL.
The star winger that was traded at the deadline to Pittsburgh has decided to sign with the Detroit Red Wings a one year deal worth 7.4 million dollars.
Both Brad Stuart and Andreas Lilja, who were core defenceman in Detroit’s Championship, re-signed with the Red Wings Tuesday. Meanwhile, goalie Ty Conklin was also brought on board.
