16 and 4, one road loss, and knocking off the top three seeds in the west. That's a helluva show.

Congrats to the LA Kings.

Wow what a run. I never thought the day would ever come when the Kings became Stanley Cup Champions. The parade was awesome, it was like game day times 1000.

Seeing long time HOF announcer Bob Miller and player/color man Jim Fox hold the cup was priceless.

Brodeur signs for two more years in Jersey, Ray Whitney goes to Dallas for a couple of years, and the Wild sign Zenon Konopka to add a little brute force to the lineup.

Wow. This could be interesting.

The Fourth of July fireworks started a little earlier than usual in the State of Hockey, as the Minnesota Wild has agreed to terms with two of the most sought after free agents in the National Hockey League.

The Wild has agreed to terms with Zach Parise and Ryan Suter for 13 year contracts.

After seemingly endless speculation about where Parise and Suter would land this summer both 27-year-olds come to the Wild on multi-year deals. Turn off Twitter and enjoy the Fourth, Minnesota, the 2012 Parise/Suter Watch is over.

$98 Million each. Bonuses 1st, 2nd, 3rd $20 M, $20M $5M. Wow I thought they had salary caps so all could compete on a level playing field. Oh my that must have been a dream I had Rolling Eyes

But, that $98 million is over a 13 year stretch. Not trying to justify, but that makes it sting a little less.

As a Devils fan, I didn't want to see him go, but this is a good non sign. 13 years is WAY too long for anyone. He's a good player, but not a legend.

I was surprised at the contract length as well. Both players are from the region with family in the area. I suppose that had a lot to do with it.

There is some insider talk that they teamed up to make the deal unfold the way it did.

Don't hold your breath. They are not even close together, nor holding talks and cut staff back to 4 day week. Insider talk down at the garage is not before Thanksgiving (American that is, not our Cdn Thanksgiving on Oct 8th). I wouldn't be surprised not till New Year but of course I may be wrong and hope I am. It's already decimating the retail side. NHL wouldn't be shortening work week just for a short lock out.

I was in a liquor store in Minnesota tongiht. There was a display of beer bottle coozies near the checkout with a nice version that sported the MN Wild logo. I looked at it, then thought "nope, I'm not going to buy it, but I might send a letter about not buying it to Gary Bettman to let him know that I will not support his bullshit". Not sure if it will help, but I feel better. I spent the money on beer instead.

All this delay is just going to help the Defending Stanley Cup Champion LA Kings from ever getting a cup hangover. Btw kings names are being engraved as we speak. Very Happy
