Feds favour Ottawa Senators in stick auction
A stick signed by Erik Karlsson has a starting bid of $100 on a government auction site. (AFP Files)The federal government doesn't seem to be much of a Leafs fan.
At least if you read between the lines on the government's website that sells surplus goods.
It has had a handful of hockey sticks for sale signed by current and former NHLers.
A stick autographed by Leafs president Brendan Shanahan -- who had a Hall of Fame playing career -- has a minimum bid set at $90.
On the other hand, two sticks signed separately by Daniel Alfredsson and Erik Karlsson are going for $100 each.
Shanny's stick was the most undervalued on the website Tuesday in terms of what the government set as minimum bids.
