Hopefully he's better than her.
Awesome!
Fixed "niece".
And yes, this would be AWESOME!
Cool.
What??
Welp, anyone’s better than Pascal at this point.
Neat.
Cool.
I’m surprised Steve Cohen’s name hasn’t been thrown out there, or is it to early in his career for that to happen?
Good for Bruce, hope he can win a Super Bowl ITTL.
Nah, if I were Lundqvist I would want out NY ASAP.

Lundqvist specifically wanted to come to SD, mainly as a middle finger to Dolan. When rumors got out that Lundqvist was about to rescind his trade request, that was when Brian Burke caved.

We havn't heard much about micheal jackson in american magic 2.0. I hope he advoid his late life insanity like in american magic 1.0. I also hope he will live longer then otl. Micheal jackosn had twice failed to build a thempark. once in poland and another time in detorit. I hope he tries a thrid time atl and that thrid time will be the charm. Ponital locations include phoneix azroai vancover canda Dubia uae sesotna isalnd singapore (on the site of universal singapre) Talipia tiwan macu china mubia inda prague chezh(I would only go with prague if disney dose build in prague. Since walt jr said he would never build in mainland china disney shainga will need to be buildt else where else and prauge would be a create loction) riga laivia rio braizl bunausa argentia nigeria (Jackosn was part of luna parks in 1.0 and they build a park called herigate city in lekkia ) or somewhere in south africa
Michael Jackson for the most part has kept a very low profile as of 2009 ITTL.
Don Meehan (Henrik Lundqvist's agent)
"My client was very unhappy in New York. Henrik demanded a trade because he had a major falling out with owner James Dolan. Dolan bullied Ranger coaches into benching Henrik for almost a month, mainly due to Dolan's petulance when the Flyers blew out the Rangers at MSG last November. Henrik was very close to rescinding his trade request when every other team seemed content with their current goalie situations. That is, until I told him a day before the deadline that I could convince San Diego to trade for him."
March 6, 2009
In his Duck debut, before a sold out Sempra Energy Center crowd, Lundqvist helped San Diego shut out the Minnesota North Stars 4-0 with 48 saves.
Meanwhile, the Ranger debut of Jean-Sebastien Giguere saw him give up two hat tricks (Lecavalier & Stamkos) in a 9-3 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Ice Palace.
But even so, him being more reclusive than OTL might be my only chance to prevent his songs from being tarnished.
