Chelios won’t be visiting Austin anymore since he got a front-office gig with the Red Wings. A nice finish for one of the most successful American-born players and probably the greatest US blueliners unless Johnson or Rafalski have some miraculous seasons; it’s possible with the former.
Meanwhile, Mike Modano got his one-year agreement. He’s done all he can with Dallas, namely setting records for them and American forwards. I think he just wants one more season so he can play with his hometown team (he grew up in MI). Good for him. Maybe Lindgren from our team will get a spot in big D.
I’m over Philly not scoring Turco. Staying with Leighton is probably the smarter move. He stepped up when Boucher got injured and we wont have to deal with Emery’s cancerous, injured ass. We managed to succeed with no-name goalies, I think we can again as long as the blueliners do a good job keeping the puck from being shot on goal as often. Even Brodeur will theoretically miss about once every 10 or 11 times.
If you haven’t noticed, my third official countdown is set for when my Stars kick off the 2010-11 AHL season which will be here first!
