Columbus is a good hockey city. You're judging teams by the color of their... jerseys!

I put it badly-- C'bus (and OH in general) is a great sports area, and I'm glad they have a hockey team. I DO have a problem with the color, however-- yep.

You just caNOT expect even the most hardcore, rabid hockey fan in Ohio to get behind a team when the cheer is "Go Blue"! It's just wrong on so many levels.

That's not necessarily a bad thing given that the team came extremely close to advancing to the SCF.

I find it interesting that Bert wants a longterm contract. Right now his market value is in the toilet so you would think that he would want something real short to prove he's healthy and has a game that's worth a decent contract. This makes me think he doesn't have much confidence that his back is sound.

ROTFLMAO when I think back to Feds' negotiations BITD, and his resultant humoungus, and groundbreaking, contract with the Wings.

Fedorov's contract was not groundbreaking. It was based off a similar deal Joe Sakic signed the same year. Fedorov was the best player in the league at the time, and ended up with a longer term deal that wasn't worth as much per year as Sakic's. Hardly groundbreaking, when you consider that based on the market at the time he was UNDERPAID.

Looks like the Article may be right...
