Scuds is great. Pittsburgh will miss him.Originally Posted by RICHARD
I just read the LAK's wanted to pick up Hossa...They didn't do it, instead they picked up Scuteri (sp) from the pens.
Welcome to hawkey hell.
I honestly think that Hossa is overratted. He's a good hockey player, don't get me wrong, but he chokes. I don't think he's worth the contract that the Hawks gave him, IMO.

It appears that Joe Sakic will be retiring from the Colorado Avalanche. 20 years with the same organization - such a class act.
From CBC -
Joe Sakic reportedly will retire from the NHL on Thursday, but whether he plans to accept Steve Yzerman's invitation to Team Canada's summer orientation camp remains to be seen.
The Colorado Avalanche have scheduled a media conference Thursday at 1 p.m. MT, at which time Sakic is expected to announce his retirement.
Sakic's playing time the past two seasons was limited by injuries, including a herniated disk that required surgery and three broken fingers on his left hand suffered in a snowblower accident.
Even so, Sakic was one of 46 players invited by Yzerman, executive director of the Canadian men's Olympic team, to attend an orientation camp in Calgary from Aug. 24 to 27.
Sakic was drafted 15th overall by the Quebec Nordiques in 1987, and become the face of the franchise when it was moved to Denver and renamed the Avalanche in 1995.
The 40-year-old Burnaby, B.C., native posted 625 goals and 1,016 assists for 1,641 points in 1,378 games over 20 NHL seasons with the Nordiques/Avalanche and captained Colorado to Stanley Cups in 1996 and 2001.
He won the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP in 2001 and the Conn Smythe Trophy as top playoff performer in 1996.
Sakic captained Colorado to Stanley Cups in 1996 and 2001, and he was voted tournament MVP when Team Canada won its first Olympic gold medal in 50 years at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games.
He also helped Team Canada win the 2004 World Cup of Hockey, the 1994 world championship and 1988 junior worlds.
SUPER JOE
Sakic ranks eighth all-time in points (1,641), 11th in assists (1,016) and 14th in goals (625) among NHLers.

NO!
I got it as an e-mail from the NHL. If I had the bucks and house I would.

Saku Koivu going to Anaheim.
After 13 seasons with Montreal, 10 as their captain, they let him hang out to dry. So it's off to sunny LA for the Flying Finn.
ANAHEIM, Calif. – Saku Koivu has left the Montreal Canadiens after 13 seasons to join the Anaheim Ducks.
The two-time All-Star center, who turns 35 in November, signed a one-year deal Wednesday.
Koivu was Montreal's captain for nearly 10 years, tying Jean Beliveau for longest-serving in the team's 100-year history. He had 191 goals, 450 assists and 623 penalty minutes with the Canadiens, the only team Koivu has played for during his NHL career.
"Saku Koivus character and leadership qualities are unquestioned," Ducks general manager Bob Murray said. "He is a skilled playmaker and we are thrilled to add him to our team."
Koivu reached the 600-point milestone with a goal against Florida in October. He had 16 goals and 34 assists in 65 games last season. He has recorded 40 or more assists in five of the last six seasons and surpassed 50 points in the last six consecutive seasons.
"I'm very excited to join the Ducks this coming season," said Koivu, who helped Finland win an Olympic silver medal in 2006. "I'm also looking forward to a full season with Teemu Selanne as a teammate."
Koivu successfully overcame non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and returned to hockey seven months after being diagnosed in September 2001.
