Greg Jamison says he has the funds to buy the Phoenix Coyotes and is ready to move forward, but now the City of Glendale wants to rework the 20-year, $324 million lease agreement they made with Jamison, according to The Arizona Republic.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf and actress Elisha Cuthbert were engaged over the weekend, according to multiple media reports.

US Weekly reported the couple made the announcement and celebrated with a party in Prince Edward Island.

Phaneuf, 27, played for the Calgary Flames from 2005-10, before he was traded to Toronto.

Cuthbert, 29, is a native of the Alberta city. She is best known for her role on the TV series "24" and currently is among the cast of the sitcom "Happy Endings."

The couple has been dating since 2008.
Hope he's still enjoying Avery's sloppy seconds

Apparently she was Mike Komarsarik's sloppy seconds too. That's gotta make for a weird dynamic in the dressing room.

You know, when they can't focus in the locker room on winning or the playoffs, they are gonna focus on the other stuff that matters.....sloppy seconds and thirds.

From Fibo's mailbag:

Who knew way back when that Avery was spot on with his crass but accurate commentary? Sounds like she had a hard-on to reel in some NHL man meat and succeeded. Hopefully a happy ending for all.

And domcha, what's up with your wacky GTA housing market? My best man just got an unsolicited 200k+ premium offer for his house from a colleague after only two years of buying.

Spent the extended holiday weekend at Canada's Wonderland, the Zoo and Centre Island with the munchkins. Good times.

With the lockout looming, I'm just excited to read 1000 more pages of yummy cakes sploofs and Moog's adventures in cup ownage for the next year and a half.

I'd rather stick pins in my eyeballs than listen to Hayward's "homer" broadcasting of stupidity!!!.....and yet somehow the Pens are worse off?!?!?!?

Poor Pen's fans.

I like Howie Rose, however. Also Doc Emrick is the best color guy in the game.
Steigerwald is a disgrace, I absolutely cannot stand him. I stream radio and sync my dvr up with broadcasts so that I don't have to listen to his stupid ass. He calls players names that either aren't on the ice, or aren't even dressed that day

From the article I read today he was apparently the first European captain in his Canadian Junior league and also has been living on his own since age 16. He is extremely well spoken and when I have seen him interviewed you think it is someone more around the age of 25 or with several years in the NHL rather than a rookie. I think it is a lot to put on his shoulders but I think he is one the the few that could handle it from what I saw watching of him last year.

The lockout better not make me miss the Avs vs Canes game in Carolina in December. I only get to see them play once every other year.

It was confirmed. According to Malkin, Crosby's got some impressive stick handling skills.

Not sure. But, can we all agree that the Leaves will win the Cup this year?

Kings are finally going to "get with the program" and hang their Stanley Cup Champions banner from the rafter, rather than hanging them on the wall.

Word is that not only the SCC banner will be hanging, but past winning banners and retired jerseys will now migrate from the wall and will hang from the rafters.

No word on if Lakers banners will be moved, nor if their fans will riot and burn the city if the Lakers banners and jerseys are moved.

...but chances are strong they will riot.

Doughty just informed me that it looks like his stay will be indefinite since there are no plans for NHL hockey this year. I'm hoping I can use the time to convince him to demand a trade to the Leafs.

Ask Eklund...I believe there's a trade in the air where the Kings are willing to trade their entire roster to the Leaves.
