The Two-Line Pass

When one man's career is more important than the league

Because you and I can never ever get enough Mats Sundin news and gossip, TSN (The Sundin Network) has seen fit to provide us with yet another update.

This time, the update states that there is no definitive update.

The chances of seeing Mats Sundin back with an NHL team anytime soon remains remote as his agent JP Barry told TSN that his client “isn’t close” to making a decision on his playing future.

Reports circulated that Sundin was set to make a decision on August 1st, however that deadline passed without a word from the Sundin camp.

It has been widely speculated that Sundin would play this season, it was just a matter of where, however Barry says Sundin is still strongly considering hanging up the skates for good.

“The longer it takes, who knows? He is deciding whether its time to retire or not,” Barry told TSN.

Man, J.P. Barry has gotten more amount media face time in the last two weeks than he has in his entire career.

You can piece the rest of the article together yourself. Blah blah blah “Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto.” Blah blah blah “$20 million, two-year offer.” Blah blah blah “32 goals and 78 points in 74 games.” Thanks, TSN, for the riveting update. I’d be interested to find out how many keywords (Sundin, undecided, future, etc.) are copied from one Sundin press release to another.

Well great, everyone. Thanks for the heads up that literally nothing has changed since we last spoke all on Friday. Seriously, wake me up when the hockey season starts, because I can’t take another day of this crap.

Just retire, Mats. This is stupid.
