Calgary (CP) After a stale holiday season, it would appear that the race for the GDHL title just got a whole lot more interesting. On the heels of the news conference in which Sather's Eyes GM Khoo announced the acquisitions of both Cole and Havlat, the Leaf Haters were first to respond by nabbing All-Star defencemen Dion Phaneuf along with future Hall-of-Famer Brendan Shannahan.
Kevin Kwasny released the following statement:
"Even though we have 5 superstars on our team (Iggy, OV-1, Malkin, Gonchar and Hossa) it isn't enough. I want them all. Dion fits the bill and all other teams suck. There is no way I'm going to stand here letting teams with no talent in net and no talent up front beat me. With these moves, Mike should just write my name on the cheque!"
We thought that was the end of it until GDHL commish Mike managed to pry Datsyuk out of Ryan's hands. During the news conference of that trade announcement, Mike stated "There was no way I could sit here while my competition is making moves. All other teams suck. There is no way I'm going to stand here letting teams with no talent in net and no depth up front beat me. With these moves, I should write my own name on the cheque!"
GM Khoo was surprised by the calibre of players that were attained by both teams... but didn't expect either to go down without a fight. "I think all my good work has been counteracted by what transpired in the last 24 hours. In addition, the comments about my goalie situation hurt. That was cold man... cold."
Here's wishing every luck during the stretch run.
