Based on recent history, my fears weren't totally unfounded as I've been kicked in the sack before by my favorite hockey team with similar moves that I hated. In fact, my team has actually signed this player before, and it made me sick then, but it would cause me to desert the team if it happens again.
The headline that caused such intestinal discomfort?
CLAUDE LEMIEUX HINTS AT RETURN.
AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Tell me if you've seen this formula before:
Washed-up veteran/agitator + Looking for a final contract before the league tells him to fuck off = Dallas Stars free agent acquisition.
Pierre Turgeon.
Valeri Kamensky.
Scott Young.
Eric Lindros.
Matthew Barnaby.
Sean Avery.
Oh ya, I forgot one: Claude Lemieux! We've been down this road before and it was a gigantic waste of time then. I immediately thought of people saying, "Hey! What about a line of Steve Ott, Sean Avery and Claude Lemieux! No one would want to play us!!"
And I wouldn't want to watch either.
This whole post is a knee-jerk, and I don't think it'll happen, but the mere thought of it has me tasting my lunch for a second time.
