One year contract to back up the best goalie in hockey, Carey Price.  Good move for Al joining Patches.  GO HABS GO!!

Good for him. I'm glad he continues to stay competitive in the League after all these years. He was in a tough spot at Michigan, entering at 17 to take over from four consecutive 4-year starters, two of whom were all-time greats. I'm glad things have worked out well for him.

One of my all-time favorite photoshops occurred the weekend of a particularly intense series against WMU. Freshman Montoya, widely known as the youngest guy on the ice in every conference game, managed to draw a key power play with what I recall to be a pretty clear flop. When he got up and de-masked to take a drink from the water bottle, he winked at the crowd.

A Western fan then photoshopped his picture onto a then-new movie poster: "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen."

The WMU fan won the internet. Michigan won the games.
