      This very well might be true, but it seems as though references to the Sens are fairly non-existent on the whole.

        Cap violators from last season have been announced. Philly and Boston were the biggest offenders, and their salary cap for 2011-2012 have been reduced by $1,402,500 and $1,130,000, respectively. Other teams with announced overages from 2011-2012 include the Rangers, Wings, Blackhawks, Canucks, and Flames.

          Sharks extend Burns: 5 years, 5.75 million cap hit.

            Today's other hockey news is the vote in Nassau County on a new building for the Islanders. Weirdest thing ever. Owner offers to pay for a new building and it gets shot down by politicians who want to own this building like they own the Coliseum, so here they are voting on taxpayer money instead.

            Vote fails, it's very likely the Islanders become the first NHL team with (current, Fark you, Ottawa) Stanley Cups to move.

              They're expecting a less than 10% voter turnout, which bodes well for the islanders.

                    The history is what it is and will remain so. Effectively the history of the original Jets or the Nordeques exists no more then as a chapter in a history book, the franchises that may have moved from those locations may technically have that history, but it isn't something that matters to those franchises anymore.
                    the only 'history' that kinda stayed behind was the clowns.. because let's face it, who the **** wants to be associated with cleveland other than cleveland

                      There was some serious NIMBY by the Town of Hempstead, apparently. Another town objected to a train stop or some such peripheral detail. He wanted to buy the land around the arena and do a whole renovation.

                      about 20% of the vote in, No leads 59-41.

                          Refresh it until they show up.

                          25.26%, still 59-41. 4,600 vote difference. Not looking good. Hopefully the talk of something in Queens if this failed comes through so they're still in the city.

                            I wonder how much the whole LIRR being down for a few hours today had a role in the surprising "No" winning.

                              With 70.95% reporting, it's 57.32% No. Looks like this is pretty much wrapped up, so...

                                I've decided to embark on a little project. Starting Thursday I'm going to count down my favorite Bruins victories this season, one a day. The 62 wins will take me right up to October 6th, and the start of the new season.

                                I'm going through and ranking the games now. It's time consuming but incredibly fun to relive the season.
