We need another team in Toronto so very badly….
From the “Associated” Press comes this disgusting information:
Maple Leafs most valuable NHL team
NEW YORK (AP) — For the third straight year, the Toronto Maple Leafs are the NHL’s most valuable team, worth $448 million.
The Leafs increased in value by 9 percent and easily were valued ahead of the New York Rangers in Forbes’ annual rankings. The Rangers are worth $411 million.
Third on the list were the Montreal Canadiens at $334 million, followed by the Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings ($303 million) and the Philadelphia Flyers ($275 million).
But the biggest increase in value was made by the Pittsburgh Penguins, who made the Stanley Cup finals last spring and boast stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Pittsburgh is worth $195 million, up a whopping 26 percent.
The next biggest gainers were the Calgary Flames, up 24 percent to $203 million) and the Minnesota Wild, who improved 21 percent and are worth $217 million.
The average team value was $220 million; by comparison, the average for NFL teams this season was $1 billion, according to Forbes.
At the bottom of the list were Columbus ($157 million), the New York Islanders ($154 million), and Phoenix ($142 million). The Coyotes were the only team to go down in worth, by 3 percent.
Toronto also led the list with $160 million in revenues, followed by Montreal ($139) and the Rangers ($137).
Ominously, 12 teams showed a negative operating income, including the Flyers (minus $1.8 million), and Boston Bruins (minus $3 million) — both top 10 franchises in total value.

EA use some pretty hardcore DRM to ensure that we can’t enjoy their games and now some random internet person has pointed out some other problems with the video game company.
Apparently saying bad things about EA on their forums means that you can’t play the games you bought from them.
Unrelated strange video.
