OTTAWA - The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency saw Brian Mulroney's new government as a welcome alternative to the "gratuitous negative" attitude of the often wienerly Pierre Trudeau, declassified documents show.
The CIA cautiously assessed the "Boy from Baie Comeau" as a more amiable ally than the occasionally irascible Trudeau in a September 1984 memo written three weeks after Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives swept to power, ousting the long-entrenched Liberals. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/...-documents-080023937.html
Jaromir Jagr has been playing well in his return to the Czech Republic, scoring two goals for HC Klando, which defeated Ceske Budejovice 6-2.
Tomas Plekanec might be the only player who's hotter than Jagr in that league - and he's on the same team. Plekanec also scored a goal in the squad's win on Sunday. Too bad the Montreal Canadiens didn't grant Jagr's wish to sign with the Habs because it seems like the two have some legitimate chemistry.

Was 4.5M for one season worth it?
Probably. - Scabeh
He was useless at the end of the season and in the playoffs.
He did put up points, of course. But I don't think the Habs would have been a much better team last season with or without Jagr.

Maybe you're right... would have sent a good message to Plekanec though.... they need to give him someone to play with other than (frank)ing Rene Bourque.
