Miami Herald: Preseason schedule, Peltonen off to Old Country


The Cats get a major break from all of that West Coast exhibition crap this fall will endure another gruesome  preseason, with a scheduled nine games in - hey! - nine cities on two continents in a span of fifteen days. Is JM the GM still running the show? Sure was easy for him to schedule these marathons when he wasn't coaching.

Speaking of the new Canadiens bench boss, the Panthers take on the Habs September 17th in Montreal. Shall we begin the petition for televising this one now, or give it a few more weeks?

In other news, forward Ville Peltonen will evidently not return to either the Cats or the National Hockey League next year. Because when you think "sunset of your career in hockey", Switzerland is of course the default.

From the Sun Sentinel....
[Do you have any interest in signing Alex Tanguay and if so, how much?]

I can’t comment on that. All I would say is what I’ve said before, which is we’re constantly looking to improve our team. We won’t stop doing that. But I don’t think it’s appropriate to discuss individual players.

(My thought: Sexton’s response leads me to believe the Panthers are interested and are exploring the possibility of signing Tanguay)

[What about Peltonen?]

Actually I spoke to Pelts’ agent the other day and I think he’s going to end up playing in Europe this year.

[Did you pursue Saku Koivu at all?]

We did. I had one chat with his agent and his response to me was [Koivu] was fairly well down the road with several other teams, and that he would talk with Saku, which he did. They got back [to us] and they were interested, but the other teams pressed forward to get things done. They were farther down the pipe than we were

so, they pursued Koivu, although I doubt very hard. and I agree with Steve that Sexton’s reluctance to answer about Tanguay means they are interested…..still not getting my hopes up, but more points for Sexton.

BTW, can those people on the Herald and Sentinel comment sections complain about anything else. Now it’s the preseason schedule and the “were deep enough to field two teams” comment. You’re right Whale, there’s always something for them to bitch about.
