CrashingTheGoalie

There are two beautiful young women.

One is inexperienced, has had some bad relationships, and is sitting waiting at home for a suitor to call. And she lives out of town, in a beautiful, but less accessible area.

She is waiting and if the suitor doesn’t come calling, she will be crushed.

The second woman is very popular, experienced but not jaded and is getting on with her life – leaving a few bad relationships behind. She would like the suitor to call, but won’t be totally devastated if he doesn’t.

There are always other options, she has concluded.

So, which of the two ladies will the suitor call?

Who will Mats Sundin choose?

The Canucks – who have literally placed all of their proverbial eggs in one basket – and are desperately waiting by the phone?

Or, the Habs? Who want the former Leafs’ captain, but won’t go into free fall if they don’t sign him.

It’s a no brainer.

Even though I don’t like the team, the Habs had a good season last winter and showed great promise during the playoffs. Also, they have a number of promising young players who would benefit from the Swede’s mentoring.

It would be the perfect ending to Sundin’s career – another run for the Stanley Cup.

Versus, golfing in May on the Left Coast.

Of course Mats Sundin will don a Canadiens’ jersey.

Or maybe, a Rangers’….
