holyfokingshite! that’s the only way to explain the reaction I have right now. utter amazement… I think I need to sit down.

*whew* OK.  If you can’t tell I LOVE these moves today.  I hate seeing Colby go since he was one of my favorite players but it’s all business. You can read all you want about how good Hossa is but what worries me is that his contract is up and he doesn’t have the greatest playoff performance record. Esposito is a top notch draft pick but sometimes you never know. I have full confidence in Ray Shero’s decisions and can’t WAIT for the next home game, March 2nd VS Atlanta… with whom Hossa just came from. Talk about a quick reunion. Pascal Dupuis is slightly better than Armstrong so I think those two are a wash. Atlanta picked up a great shootout artist in Christensen but that’s about all he can do.
Not to be left out, I have always hated Hal Gill when he was on other teams but I LOVE to have him on our team. Roughneck D man that will be a nice force to have.

I’m glowing right now and tonight’s game vs the Islanders will be interesting to see who’s on the ice.
