Damnit, we have to root for Kesler in the Olympics.

Hopefully he has the sand out of his vagina by then.

Cammer's a special, special fella.

If we don’t re-sign him, I will be seriously upset. I love that guy.

Ohhh me too

I think they’ll re-sign him – his value off ice in the community (not to mention the friends and family tickets!) is above compare.

And he’s pretty damn adorable too…
