Humour

But Seriously...

Is it funnier than watching someone slip on a banana peel? You be the judge.

Mats Sundin - The Movie

 
 
With yet another Leaf season slip sliding away, jobs are on the line - from president and CEO Richard Peddie, to GM John Ferguson Jr., to coach Paul Maurice, to Carlton The Bear, to Gino the scalper.

There are also strong rumblings that captain Mats Sundin will be offered to the highest bidder in a blockbuster trade, despite his fervent wishes to remain a Leaf until he retires.

If Sundin is moved, it won't be the only blockbuster the popular captain will be involved in, according to my impeccable source on E-Blab Daily.

A movie about his life and times in Toronto is slated to begin shooting in June, for release at the start of the next NHL season.

Here is a sneak preview.
