Sakic Retires
He was a legendary player. Fast, smart, agile, filthy, and funny. I will always remember scoring upwards of 22 goals per game in NHL 2002 for computer with help from good ol' Joe Sakic and his Colorado Avalanche. He seemed to have dropped off the radar since then. We will miss you Joe! Have a great rest of your life.

Offseason Moves
Wow, there have been some exciting, unpredictable offseason moves so far, and we're only into the fourth day of free agent signing.
First, lets start out with the draft. We all knew Jonathan Tavares was going first, even though he claims he never knew. That's crap. What I'm surprised about is the fact that the Islanders did something right for once. They always seem to screw up their offseason and managerial moves somehow, but on this instance they held their composure and didn't pee themselves in the spotlight of the NHL viewing community. Congratulations. Follow this link to find out who was drafted to which team and when: http://www.nhl.com/ice/draftsearch.htm?year=2009&round=1
Next, the Free Agents. Wow. Where to start? Hossa's with Chicago now. (GO HAWKS!) Khabibulin is with Edmonton. Havlat goes to the Wild. Chris Higgins is going to NY Rangers. Gaborik will bring success to the Rangers from his hospital bed. The Sedin sisters decide to stay put in their cozy town of Vancouver. The Thrashers decided they needed more Russian influence on their team so they picked up Antropov. They also signed Pavel Kubina.
So there has been a lot of moving and shaking in the hockey world as the free agents are signed. We will just have to sit and watch anxiously and hope that our hometown team managers don't screw everything up for next season.
