NEpats1028 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Local 4 just said he came into the locker room and was drinking Gatorade and ONLY Gatorade...what a classy guy and a fantastic story in the 2008 playoffs. I hope he sticks around for at least one more year. I'm glad he can prove to the world that he's a healthy guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drimo 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 My wife and I were talking about this. We concluded that he has come to far in his sobriety to fail now and the rest of the team would support him. Glad to see his is drinking Gatorade! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Re-sign him, definitely. He's been an asset, and I think some of the thigns he was rusty on will improve nwo that he'll have time to condition. Let's face it, he was thrown in before he was fully prepared, due to signing deadlines. We need him next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LidstromIsASuperhero 29 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 There were a lot of feel good stories this year. Like Ozzie said, that's another reason for the vets to win the cup. We won for Robitaille, Duchesne, and Hasek in 2002. Stevie got his in 1997 and became a legend, and in 1998 we won it for Vlad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
