Jonathan Cheechoo signs with the Blues. A pretty good article on the irrelevance of said signing:

i'm actually rather disappointed Tampa let him go. very promising player for us. the price was just going to be too much though

Lundin is a good player but he's no better than a 5th or 6th defenceman. I liked him but I don't losing him is such a big blow.

Anybody see this goal?



Might be the prettiest goal I've ever seen. Wow.

All I have to say is Mazoltov! That was pretty cool though.

Chris Osgood retires

Is he a hall of famer?

2 cups as starter. 1 as backup.
10th all time in wins with 401.
2.49 GAA
50 shutouts.
2.09 playoff GAA.
74 playoff wins.

BUT...he played on a semi dynasty. :dunno:

You can step away from that ledge now Mauser.

Stamkos has signed a four-year, $3.75 million contract with the Lightning.

What can I say? Stevie Y put the kid in his place. :tongue:

He anally raped him. (figuratively speaking of course.)

Stamkos had a great start to the year, but the second half saw his production drop significantly. He is always a threat, but needs to get results. Glad he stayed in TB and will enjoy watching him locally on the telly.

First Saturday of the season sees an Eastern Conference Final rematch in Boston

Putting up a 40+ spot is hardly a spotty performance. Of course he lagged at the end but sheesh, $3.75 for 4 for a former #1? Fucking christ the Wild could have given up more for that and anyone would've been happy with it. Watch him put up a 50 spot a couple years in a row or something. Unlikely (30s maybe) but damn, the way players were just getting bags of money thrown at them this off season boggles my mind on this one. :2 cents:

I am glad the Lightning finally got Stamkos signed

To think a guy like Ryan Malone is getting like 10 times as much as he is is a stunner. Lightning got the best deal of the offseason.

Is it hockey season yet!?

I'm torn on this. I'd have to say yes. He was never the high profile net-minder that other teams coveted, but is overall stats are right there with some HOF goalies. Grant Fuhr is in with only two more wins and Ozzies stats are better.

 

[STDiva]

Stamkos at $3.75 is a steal!!!

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

Did anybody actually read the article?? WTF is this four year, 3.75 million nonsense?

Dear STDiva,

Thanks for ruining a good thing.
