there's a group of west coast investors that are looking to buy the Pens. Mario would still stay on as a minority owner, but I think the best thing about the new CBA is the salary FLOOR. Its great that the 'Gers can't have an 85 mil payroll, but I'm happy because the Pens can't be penny-pinchers either. Hopefully they'll raise our payroll, because right now they have one too many Wilkes-Barre players on the team.


I do think its funny though that most teams only have like 4 or 5 players under contract right now. FA is going to be a mess with all the players changing teams in a whirlwind market

here's a great article that shows exactly who is under contract and at what price:

Sabres only UFA is Zhitnik, and he's been horrible IMO the past few years.

Can't wait till the deal is official!

That's what I thought, since it made sense, but I haven't seen that before. Kinda reminds me of Friar Puck, some guy from the Panthers around 2000 who rang a bell whenever the Panthers scored...they scored something like 1 goal in 5 games and ditched the guy. :lol:

:cry: No, unfortunately...that was the best thing ever. The NHL banned it when it started happening all around the league and would take 5 minutes to get the game going again after every goal. At first, Detroit had the octopus and we had the rat, but everyone started throwing crap.

I don't know if you know the story, but for anyone else who's interested, at the start of the Panthers' 1996 Stanley Cup run, Scott Mellanby killed a rat in the locker room with a stick. The media got wind of it, and fans started throwing plastic rats onto the ice after a Panthers goal. It was something to see...1996's ad campaign was "The Year of the Rat"; they really milked it. It was so much fun...dumb NHL. :fire:

I actually had no idea that it had anything to do with Mellanby, I just figured that because a panther is a cat, and cats love to chase mice/rats....

The Wings started it all with the octopus though, and it still happens on occasion
