So an edit to my Atlanta Thrashers' rambling post earlier, Alex Kovalev is definitely 39, not whatever late 20's I wrote him the last time.
But, while we are talking about Kovalev, let it be known he took a contract to play with his bitter rivals, the Ottawa Senators. It's something like $10 million for two years...good job Donny for not paying that for him.In other news, the Falconer has a cool interview with the Thrashers' second round draft pick Carl Klingberg. He seems like a cool guy and he wants to be Tomas Holmstrom, version 2.0, check it out.And lastly, but definitely not least, the magical Joe Sakic decided to retire. He was a class act and will always be remembered for that time he got into a snow blower accident...no really, he was a great player and a role model for sportsmanship.Later people.
