Hey, Hey the Gang's All Here

The guys took the ice out in Ashburn today, joined at last by the soon-to-be-legal Ovie and 'the Missing Link', Alexander Semin. Of course, Sasha stayed in the stands, but according to the Post his presence alone was a good sign. Is it just me or are our standards getting a little low when we start praising someone for just walking into a building? Well, at least he got on the plane this time. Baby steps, kids, baby steps!



This was just too good to not mention - the Islanders have signed unproven goaltender Rick DiPietro to a record-breaking 15-year, $67.5 million contract. Look's like Rick will be laughing all the way to the nursing home...
