So Lukas Kaspar is now an unrestricted frree agent?

Go get him, Larry…

Even if he’s good for absolutely nothing else, he’s younger AHL depth than Cam Paddock, Carl Corazzini, and Jeff Cowan.

Mason/Belfour goaltending duo?

Several factors:

1. Money: I would imagine than he won’t pay for the league minimum. 44 year old backups should get paid like 44 year old backups. Just be happy to collect a check.
2. Age: That dude is really old. Like Cheli-Old.
3.Chemistry: It really bugged the hell out of Manny to have a back-up that made more than he did. What would it do to Mason mentally? The man lost the job in Nashville, just like Manny lost the job here.
4. WTF: Although I do have a fondness for the history of the game and adding a future member or the hall off fame would be really neat. I’ve always hated the man. Pompous douche. If I ever saw a “Belfour” Blues jersey at a game, I would have to choke back the vomit every time. Or just drink more. Take your pick.

DONT

choke back the vomit just project towards the jersey and apologize for drinking too much after seeing the jersey in the first place…problem double solved!

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

how awesome is it that 7 players mentioned in that “top players never drafted” article played for the Blues at some point in their careers? (or 8 if we go after Belfour lol)
