Last week when Teemu claimed that he had to discuss his future with Bruce Boudreau and Bob Murray one more time, we all knew this day was coming. He said he'd decide sometime this week, and as we've come to expect he even pushed the limit of that, but here we are.

As is announced in the video above from the Ducks' official website. Teemu Selanne will return for his 21st and final NHL season, a deviation from the wait and see attitude he's taken for the last five years or so.

Per the incomparable Eric Stephens of the OC Register he'll make $2 million, a rather drastic cut from the $4.5 million he made last year (lockout excepted, of course). Possible bonuses could boost the cap hit, but this could be an indication as to how the discussion went with Boudreau regarding Teemu's role/ice time earlier in the week.

I have to say, I didn't really see it coming until last week. I had already started looking forward to his jersey retirement night, and convinced myself it was probably for the best to move on with the younger guys. But despite rationalizing it all summer, I can't contain my happiness that HE'S BACK!

This is the 12th community in the Kansas City Metro Area to welcome Google Fiber and the 14th city overall. The KC map now covers almost all of the KC metro area with parts in both Kansas and Missouri. 8 months into the rollout two fiberhoods have been completed, 30 more are under way and 50 more are to start by the end of summer. This covers most of the territory of both Kansas Citys ahead of schedule and completes before the end of winter so the timeline has been accelerated. As Google runs their fiber across town it appears they're putting backbones down the major thoroughfares to be trunks out to the wider communities. With Provo wired with fiber already, Austin to start next it looks like Google Fiber's ambitions are not to just to deliver their symmetric gigabit uncapped, unfiltered, inexpensive fiber Internet to just a few privileged enclaves. They still have over 1,000 cities left to go who have already petitioned to be Google Fiber cities so it's not like they're going to run out of work."
