Congrats to the Oilers Mike Cammalleri for kicking arse in todays NHLPA golf tournament. After the tourney he was quoted along the lines of when I sign in Toronto I'll be hitting the links early every year to keep my game up.

Congrats to Chara for taking home the Vezna, and with your contract up for renewal I am sure you will mention that quite a few times, or just hold it on your lap during negotiations.

Also I would like to congratulate our newest acquisition, Manny Fernandez for splitting the Jennings trophy with that hack you carried in SJ.

He may be good at blocking pucks, but I don't think he is Vezina good!
