    well, brisebois is stuck ... it is all up to sundin.
    sundin signs means no money for brisebois. sundin does not sign, money but then lang will be paid how much?
    and then, if sundin doesnt sign, lang signs and that there is still some room left in the cap, it is going to be between schneider and brisebois.

    but brisebois already said he wanted to be back with the team, unfortunately, it's a bit more complicated than that.

    hi there!

    golf tournament yesterday, official introduction of tanguay. laraque wasnt there, koivu wasnt there. but kovalev was... kovalev spent the whole week in montreal. he shot a movie in french, he launched his foundation ... i start to think that kovy does a better job as a C . but he is making himself a name around montreal for the future signature of a contract.

    ur man dropped about 25 pounds, rolland melanson asked him to do so ... now i have the feeling he is too skinny! lol! i just soooo wished latendresse has done the same!

    gainey is thinking about having an addition to the crew, now that sundin might not come at all. he is thinking about brisebois or schneider, but it all comes down to the sundin decision, about the money.
    who would you take?

    that is about the news I got,
    take care

    Hey Matt,
    No problem. I didn't get any play time at wide reciever anyways, intrestingly I ended up playing a couple of plays in the fourth quarter at defensive tackle. Anyways, my team lost 76-0. They should've played me, and we would've won haha. Anyways, im now a defensive tackle and will start training as one on Monday. Anyways, talk to you later.

    I just double checked for you, and its on Grant Avenue. Its right by the Assiniboine Forest. Kickoff is at 5:00, and the parents at their school have a deal where you can get 2 hotdogs, 2 hamburgers, or one of each, a bag of chips and a drink for 5 bucks. If you are able to make it, Ill be number 81 on the green team haha.

    Hey Matt. Two quick things for you.

    1. What are you doing on Thursday night? I have my preseason opener in Winnipeg at St. Pauls on Roblin I think haha, and it would be cool if you came and watched. Im the wide reciever on the right side.

    2. I am number 81! Hopefully Ill be as sucessful in my rookie year as Romny Bryant is in his :P
