Another Day

Lets start with Alexi Kovalev this ex-Penguin and ex-Canadian is now an Ottawa Senator. He signed a two year $10 million deal on Monday. Now that is a good sum of money for a guy who is very unpredictable. I mean one night he is amazing the way he skates and moves about the ice with the puck is unbelievable and the next you are like who is that AHL-er they brought up for this game? He says he can bring them a Cup, now is that a Stanley Cup or a sippy cup for the drama of Danny Heatley.

Now onto Mad Max Talbot or Superstar, he had successful shoulder surgery on Tuesday to stop a constant pain he had in his left shoulder. Can you believe that he played an amazing game 7 with shoulder pain?? He must really be a Superstar! UPMC physician Dr. Mark Rodosky preformed the surgery on Tuesday to fix a torn labrum, a labrum is a ring of cartliage around the edge of the surface of the bone. This means his shoulder would be popping in and out while he played, I am in shock cause he was hitting and playing really well and he was this hurt! He could be out of action until sometime in November. We will miss you Max!

Chris Pronger who was acquired in a trade from Anaheim on June 27 signed a multi-year contract with the Flyers. The terms of the contract have not offically been released but it is believed to be a 7 year deal worth $35 million. Pronger said that he is happy to be able to retire as a Flyer. Well lets see what this guy can do for them on the blueline.

Joe Sakic is a guy who has played 20 NHL seasons, 1,378 NHL games, scored 625 goals, assisted 1,016 times for a total of 1,641 points, this leaves him eighth on the NHL scoring list that is if he retires. It is expected of him to do so because the Colorado Avalanche have called a news conference for Thursday. Though would he do something like that or would he pull out one more season to be able to play in the 2010 Olympics in his Vancouver? This man is a wonderful athlete he hoisted two Stanley Cups, played in 13 NHL All-Star games, and named MVP in the 2002 Olympics for Canada. Last season was a rough one for this 40 year old he only played 15 games due to an injury. He really is at a road block in his life, he has played hockey since he was six, he knows nothing else and to just stop. You can't blame him but I guess we will just have to wait till Thursday to see what happens next.

Stayed tuned, tomorrow will have all the news about this goalie they called Monster
