Awesome. Quite possibly the best hockey goalie ever.

that is awesome and i wish him luck but i just seen pictures of him at last weeks Toronto Expo Hockey Card Show, the biggest Hockey Card show of the year and he looked really old.

I can't see him lasting more than a couple pre-season games if even that much, but i do want him to succeed. It would definitely be good for the Hockey card Hobby having a true legend playing again.

Well I still think it is crazy that he is playing pro hockey overseas

Should be hilarious.

My fourth favorite 'Hawks goalie I ever saw play (behind Tony O, Bannerman and Belfour), but one of the greatest for sure. I just don't see it happening when he can't lock up a top tier Eastern European league gig.

I have to agree with Mike I don't see him making it but good luck to him. he was always fun to watch.

I guess he is really serious, is in great physical shape and wants a multi-year deal (good luck with that one, lol). Has an NHL goalie ever played into their 50s?

I know Gump Worsley and Johnny Bower played into their 40s, not sure on 50s or any others.
