Welcome To Dallas, Kari Lehtonen....

I will admit that upon hearing the news last night that Nieuwy traded for Kari Lehtonen, "happy" was not the initial response.  However, there are a few other players Dallas has acquired over the years that I could also say that about who turned out to be my favorite players -- the biggest example is Jason Arnott, whom I still love the hell out of to this day and wish really heinous stuff on Doug Armstrong for not resigning him but I will not go there AGAIN in this post.  ;-)

After doing a little more research, I have decided that Kari Lehtonen coming to Dallas is a good thing.  I have a feeling he's here to be Turco's replacement but I have no control over that so it is what it is. 

Below is my own little pictorial on Kari Lehtonen.  I think it is pretty self explanatory. 

And Kari, welcome to Dallas!  You'll have a 11yo goalie wanting your signature on her "stars" goalie stick pretty soon at a public practice so be prepared to be evaluated by the self-proclaimed female version of Ron Hextall.  She'll appreciate your aggressiveness.  She'll really love the pic of you sitting on the net hahaha

and finally.... what's not to love about a goalie throwing signs with Lil Jon?!  WHAAAT?  OOOOKAAAY!

he's got Lil Jon on his mask you know....  yep, should be interesting.... :)
