I like both of the signings. Teddy P showed some flashes last season, be nice to see what he can do for a full year. He showed some chemistry with Vinny too. And he was one of the few that “he” didn’t move off the line when things went well.

not saying the name of “he” though…

Who? Kovalchuk or LeBron? LOL

I have come to a conclusion... Martin St Louis = waterbug on meth...

Kovy. Lebron is just overexposed. He can play…

Kovalchuk is second in goals scored behind Ovechkin for the past three years or something – playing on worse teams. Or so people keep telling me. But it’s got to be true, right? Eklund didn’t tweet that.

There's nothing quite like the sound of a frozen puck hitting the glass. It makes me happy.

And yet after the half way point of 2008-09, Stamkos is behind only Crosby and Ovie for goals scored, isn’t that how people termed it ?

So Kovy is fourth?

No, I think that’s at that point in his career, not that last three years overall.

So

Where does Killer end up in October? Third line? Norfolk?

Well, I hope it’s the third line. Not sure where he’ll actually end up, tho. But if he ends up in Norfolk, I’ll drive down and interview him.

I think we’ve sort of petered out.
