Cujo lives!

Sources, ranging from the Fan 590 in Toronto (I hate them) to ESPN (I hate them) have all-but-confirmed that Curtis Joseph has signed with the Flames.

My thoughts are this: I like it. Kipper's started 22 straight games, and let's be honest, he could use a day off. I loved Cujo's performance in the Spengler cup, it shows he's still got it. Probably not as a workhorse, but as a reliable backup? You betcha.

Plus side is, the kids get to play more in QC, rather than being an expert door operator and bench warmer extraordinaire.

  1. I read it on the Sportsline message boards...

    As I posted on Saturday, I am also in favour of the idea of Cujo coming to the Flames...

  2. Apparently the deal is $1.5M/yr, prorated so we don't have to pay him for the entire season.

    I like it. More darkly, it doesn't leave us up a creek should a groin (ahem, lower body) injury or something like come up...

    But knock on wood. Knock on a lot of wood...

  4. Has the AHL trade deadline passed yet?

    If not, I'd guess somebody is about to become real familiar with the ECHL.
