Absurdity

In trying to wrap my head around the Marian Hossa signing the only thing I can come up with is the NHL video games. In those games when your team scores it’s first goal or two the players on the ice celebrate and high five and hug and do stuff you’d expect them to do. So for me that was the Brad Stuart deal and signing Ty Conklin.

Now back to the video game. In the games where you just destroy the competition and pot your 5th or 6th goal the guys on the ice celebrate by looking down at the ice and engage in sober fist bumps and stuff like that.

That would be the Marian Hossa signing. You just can’t celebrate having that amount of good fortune. You just shake your head, smile wryly and appreciate how things worked out.

Unreal.

    Great comparison, that’s exactly what I did when I got the inevitable we-signed-Hossa text.

    Hehehe. Maybe for you. I was shooting off guns and screaming “HOSSAHOSSAHOSSA!!! ARRIBA!”

    Ha, my text message I sent to a group of family/friends.

    Holy f**k! The Wings signed Hossa!
