Definitely a killer signing.
I expect to see his number raised to the rafters after the ‘08-‘09 season.

When I saw this post had four comments, I knew there would be a few of us snobby (Champion), holier-than-thou (Champion), (2008 Stanley Cup Champion) Red Wing fans chiming in on all things ‘Dive.

SYF, you must’ve forgot that they already raised his number.
