a new 12-year extention

-- "Gut Shot" in Vancouver 24 hours on September 18, 2009

Now, now, don't get excited - this is from a list of "statements no Canuck fan
wants to hear this season". Even if it were true, though, I'd be more excited about the new word, extention. However, I'd wonder why it's needed as it seems to have a meaning that is identical to extension.
