News on Kaberle

Ilya Kovalchuk

Mark Everson of the New York Times is reporting that the NHL has rejected a proposed contract from the Devils to sign Kovalchuk. Apparently the framework of the contract is the issue.

I don't know how to tell you this, Mike Modano...but I'll miss you.

You may not believe it, but it's true. I may never have gotten to talk to you, we sure aren't pen pals, and we definitely aren't friends on Facebook, but I'll miss you all the same.

Sidenote: In fact, there's 39 people who share the name "Mike Modano" on Facebook, three or four "Michael" Modanos, and a fan page. If you want to be friends, Captain Dallas, you add me.
