I don't understand that move at all. How quickly they forget that Ville Leino was their best player in the playoffs. And Simon Gagne was pretty great as well.

Finally, a team that isn't going to help Chicago solve their cap problems. Sharks sign free agent D Hjalmarsson to offer sheet

Here's the numbers LA offered Kovalchuk: $63 million over 12 years (annual cap hit of $5.25 million) or $84.5 million over 13 years (annual cap hit of $6.5 million) http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-kings-kovalchuk-20100708,0,3038803.story

Remember when Roller thought Corey Locke was going to be a star? Somebody has to score some goals for Bingo this year.

Apparently Nabokov has signed a 6 year deal in the KHL. I know there's no market for goalies, but how is there no market for a guy that's won 40+ games three years in a row?

I was digging through my junk at my folks place on Sunday night and showed the wife my prized, signed Bob Probert Soo Greyhounds card. "Who?" she asked. Next day he's in the news. RIP

Andrew Krystal is incredible as far as talk radio hosts go, but unfortunately he doesn't know fuck all about sports and is immediately exposed as clueless whenever it's the topic of conversation.

Forgot about Atlanta needing a goaler, they signed Mason for pretty cheap. Nabby and Turco may have priced themselves straight to the KHL... maybe Philly could still sign one cheap??

Calgary brings back Doug Gilmour... oh wait, no it's Tanguay and Jokinen, same diff.

In a vacuum, I think the Gonchar signing is great - he still has elite skill and logs a ton of ice, should help Ottawa's lousy PP. But I can't understand why a team at the stage the Sens are at would want another 35+ player? Good to see you too Dave!

After 4 hours of free agency, is it safe to assume Nabokov/Turco/Mason = SOL? Who still needs a goalie??

Awesome weekend, the bridesmaids were fun. Cheers my friend!

FWIW Crosby also won the Messier leadership trophy last night.

Technically you're an idiot.

Rocket Richard trophy?

Pretty funny...

Funny, I'm about 5 minutes from Myrna's and didn't feel a thing.

The Wooden Sky - If I Don't Come Home You'll Know I'm Gone (Toronto) I may not do publicity on their behalf, but this was my favourite album of the year Canadian or otherwise.

I like how Deuce re-writes the last 3 months of history. Halak wasn't the MVP of the franchise's best playoff run in nearly two decades? He wasn't the reason they squeaked into the playoffs? And knocked off two elite teams despite being undermanned and undersized??

Roll Call - Not celebrating today? Me and anybody else that owns Carey Price in a keeper league. More than anything, he needed a fresh start in a market where he wouldn't be under such intense pressure. To answer Booche's question about how much patience the fans will have for him? Maybe the first period of Game 1.

Roll Call - Celebrating today? Brian Burke, Bryan Murray, Darcy Regier, Peter Chiarelli

Oh man, nice return. If that is really all there is to it, NHL goalie stock is at an all-time low.

Holy awesome bill, Aaron. You gonna bring Huron out east at any point?

Wait a sec... TheSloth isn't Rob Ray?
