I think NHL teams ordsprog

I think NHL teams and fans should know that if a $33.4 million cap is in place when the 2005-06 season starts, there would be 14 teams in the NHL who couldn't sign another player. Eleven teams would still lose money. The Toronto Maple Leafs, for the '05-06 season, would have $35.5 million and they would have nine players to play the games.

I'm excited about having the team over, ... I know there are a lot of Leafs fans in Sweden and in Europe, so this is a great chance for the European audience to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs. I think that's the most fun thing about this whole thing. We are going to focus on practicing and preparing for the season, just the same way we would if we were somewhere around Toronto. I'm sure we are going to have some chances at night to have some dinners and take a look around Stockholm, but most of the focus is going to be on practicing and getting ready.

In the NFL, for most of the teams the profitability is about $5 million to $18 million a year, with a handful above or below. If this proposal adds $10 million to the cap, you'd be operating not making any money. The numbers the players are asking for may not be feasible from the owners' standpoint.

But that's what's great about this league. Teams like us have hope every year. Football is different from baseball. We share television revenues. That helps equal things out. Plus, it's never been proven that the more money you spend will help you win a Super Bowl. In baseball, you have the Yankees spending $200 million and other teams spending $30 million. That won't happen in football, no matter what happens with the CBA. That's why we're different. That's why teams like us have a chance.

Obviously, there's a number of teams, six to eight teams, that probably spent more than other teams to keep their players. So, yeah, you definitely lose that. But I think everybody is on the same playing field, and I think as the years go down, (there will be) issues and uncertainty for everybody. There's so much player movement.

[The Senators edged the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 Wednesday after the first shootout in NHL history. They were mediocre for 55 minutes, trailing most of the game, and they still found a way to win. The best teams can do that.] I'm not crazy about shootouts but it's always fun when you win, ... We came back twice and won in a shootout. It's a good feeling.

With the addition of these three players, we're a better team. And that's the excitement. And if we can find another player somewhere on in the season, we'll look at that too. You have to keep looking. Other teams are still looking for players. Teams are still trying to do whatever they have to do to get better.

[Every year the Maple Leafs tour Sick Kids Hospital.] I don't agree with the cameras following us around, ... It's just good PR for the Toronto Maple Leafs. You know, the kids love it, but the players don't like the cameras being there. I like to make those special moments for the kids and their families and sometimes you just can't do that when the cameras are around.

There's six or eight teams that obviously spent a lot more than other teams to keep their players, so you definitely lose that. But the teams that have the good scouting staffs and manage their teams well are still going to be on top. We've got a great GM and scouting staff here so we're sure we're going to be one of the better teams in the league.

He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating. We talked about what we need to do to finish out the season and we can't just forfeit these games. We've got to play these games. And out of the teams we're finishing with, (Seattle) is supposed to be one of the worst teams.

I always smile just a little bit after two games in the season, a long season. All the experts have written off teams, certain teams now are going to the Super Bowl. I always say, it's only two games, everyone just tone it down. Take it a game at a time. I know what a fine coach Dennis Green is and he's got a good football team.

We have listened to our fans, owners and players and made some significant scheduling changes for the 2006 WTT season. By moving the WTT Finals to immediately after the conclusion of the regular season we keep the momentum moving forward for the teams, improve the overall scheduling for the players and keep our fans happy by not having a major gap between the end of the season and the championship weekend.

There are still a lot of games to play. It's only half-a-season. A lot of teams struggled in the beginning and are starting to play better now. With these new rules and everything, the standings change every day. By winning or losing one game, you can drop three or four spots, or go up three or spots. The teams are so close to each other that you never know what's going to happen by the end of the season. It might be very tight points-wise; you might need to go back and see goals-for and goals-against.

It's been money well spent. We're giving people their money's worth. Players want to play for exciting teams so we want free agents who want to sign here. That will make it so our fans see an entertaining team that wins more.

I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.
