Lastnight the Chicago Blackhawks sent Freddie Sjostrum, Henrik Zetterberg, Niko Kapanen and Chris Drury to the airport.
While we were there saying farewell, we picked up a magazine, a key ring shaped like Al Capone's head and 6 dollar latte. We needed something to do while waiting for the arrival flights from Nashville and New York.
The Nashville flight was the first in. Coming to Chicago to play the best hocky of his life is Patrick * I am not contagious* Elias. He has to be good to take the place of Henrik Zetterberg. It was a tough heart wrenching decision to send our beloved Henrik to Music City. He hates country. Sjostrom will be fine in Nashville. He has already got tickets to see Graceland.
Henrik will be deeply missed by the Hawks fans and GM. We have promised to drive the Preds GM even more insane than he already is, with our continual barrage of inquiries for Henrik. We are however very pleased to add Patty Elias to the Hawks lineup.
Another latte (Vanilla, Double shot, skinny) and another flight, this time welcoming Saku Koivu. GM Becky and Saku have a special bond. It is hoped that this bond will be a catalyst for Saku to play some extraordinary hockey in Chicago. Going to New York is Chris Drury, who had not yet unpacked his bags from the Island. He takes defensive specialist Niko Kapanen with him to the Big Apple.
Welcome to Chicago Saku Koivu and Patty Elias.
