Red Wings Sign Old Fart Dallas Drake To One-Year Deal

Dallas Drake, the gritty, extremely old right wing enforcer (and former captain) of the St. Louis Blues has signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Red Wings, of all teams. I guess this puts to rest any talk that he might (or should) become a member of the Avalanche. Turns out he went the completely opposite direction after all.

Looks like we'll be seeing much more of this over the course of the coming season.

Dear Lord Stanley said...: I'm a huge Arnason fan, despite his numerous critics. I bet the Dead Wings make Drake and Chelios share a room.

AT THE OLD FOLKS HOME! HAHAHAHAHA

by "this", do you mean "male pattern baldness"?; July 9, 2007 at 7:42 PM
Mike at MHH said...: No, I think he meant Lappy picking fights and losing...; July 10, 2007 at 9:26 AM
Dear Lord Stanley said...: You know, Mike, the ultimate authority on hockey fights, HockeyFights.com, says Lappy either won or drew a majority of his 17 fights last year. So don't try to hate on one of my favorite players.

Or I'll send Lappy after you.; July 10, 2007 at 1:11 PM
