Parise re-signed!!

I have this thing for the Devils. I don’t know why, but I do. And, today Lou made me proud by re-signing restricted free agent Zach Parise to a 4 year $12.5 million contract. Remember Anaheims Dustin Penner? He was offered a 4 year $21.25 million contract. I was curious so I compared their stats. Parise had 31 goals and 31 assists (62 points) Dustin Penner had 29 goals and 16 assists (45 points). It seems interesting to me that Penner’s worth as a guy who will score the “dirty goals” is more than a guy who has real play making talent. I’m not trying to take anything away from Dustin at all because I’m a huge fan. Just something to point out. Anyway, Parise is back for four years as a Devil I am happy. And, so is Zach and Lou.

“I’m excited, it’s definitely a weight off my shoulders so I don’t have to worry about it and can just relax and get ready for the season,” said Parise.

“Over the past two seasons, Zach has established himself as one of the outstanding young stars in the National Hockey League,” said Devils’ CEO, president and general manager Lou Lamoriello in a statement.

Eastern Conference All-Star Squee Team!

Alright, so here’s the deal, my wonderful HLOG sister, KMS2 came up with the wonder idea to do an All-Star Squee Team for each conference…so here are my picks. If you want to see hers Eastern is here and Western is here. What you have to do is choose a line up…1 goalie, 2 defensemen, a left winger, right winger, and a center.

GOALIE - None other than Vesa Toskala! KMS2 decided to go with Lundqvist but he doesn’t stand a chance next to Vesa. Alright, so yes he DID get traded to the Leafs, but, I still you can deny that level of hottness….right?!? And, not to even mention his stats. He is great and CLEARLY the only choice for goal in the Eastern Conference.

DEFENSEMEN – Shane O’Brien aside from being an absolutely adorabe guy, he is a favorite of, Finny he is also a home town boy. He spent some time in Cincinnati playing with the Cincy Mighty Ducks. I remember him as the guy who would go to the bench and look up into the stands and wave and wink at some of the ladies in the audience. The other defenseman is Chris Campoli he kind of reminds me of Sheldon Souray a bit…but he is absolutely fabulous.

CENTER – Zach Parise this Devil is probably one of the hottest guys I have ever seen in my life. That’s all that needs to be said.

LEFT WING – Alexander Semin not only is this guy amazing on the ice. But, he is also quite attractive…and how can you not like a guy who does something like, throw the puck at the net…how could you not want a bad ass like him on your team?!

RIGHT WING – Scottie Upshall ok so maybe that picture doesn’t do it for ya but he is pretty gosh darn hot, and since his trade from the Preds to the Flyers things have been looking up for this little guy. He is starting to develop into a great player.

So there ya have it folks. And, by the way KMS2 was right this is a lot harder than it looks. I may have the Western Conference up tonight because I’m out of town and just layin around.
