Thanks Paul and Joe....it was almost a surreal moment, my Dad had been talking to me about who else had kissed the Cup....Howe, Hull, Orr, Richard, LaFleur, Gretzky, Messier, Drden...etc., you get the idea....just too cool.

Funny thing is when I kissed it, it tasted like Dustin Byfuglien.

EPIC Tom!

I held the cup when I was 12 and Eddie the Eagle brought it to Carman after he won with Dallas.

Great feeling, eh Matt?

Hawks traded Versteeg to the Leafs tonight. I expected this, and hope it allows the Hawks to keep Sharp, Ladd, Niemi and Hjalmarsson.

Versteeg has a boatload of talent, but some really poor decision making skills. That being said, he was an important part of the Hawks' run to the Cup, and I wish him nothing but the best in Toronto.

The San Jose Sharks signed goalie Antero Niittymaki to a two-year, $4 million deal.

Hopefully that means no high-ball offer sheet to Niemi!

Interesting with nitty they are looking for a vet to split the duty with one of the 2 kids. uuughh well it was fun while it lasted, but of what I have seen of the kids, they better get some stay at home d cause their gonna need them.

Malholtra will be missed he is taking 2.5 per x3 to become a canuck. Pretty sure the sharks were not offering 3 years.

OK, Byfuglien and Versteeg, I understood for salary cap reasons.

Hawks just traded Andrew Ladd to Atlanta for a minor league defenseman. Color my officially "not happy".

This one puzzled me as well. I thought they had cleared up enough cap space with the last two trades.

My guess is they plan on signing a tough defenseman free-agent, or pay Niemi eleventy billion dollars a year.

Nichol on his signing for 760k deal, only 10k raise
"We weren’t looking to go anywhere,” he said. “I had* a* good year and I think the fans enjoy my style. I just want to win and getting a taste of that playoff rum, l want to get back to where we were and go beyond that.* There’s only a handful of tems have that chance every year and we have that .”

Man I love that guy.

Very sad.
Loved watching his fights.

I am glad that the culture of the sport as to the aspects of drinking and drug use have and are changing.
