Thanks for getting my hopes up thunderstruck! Really appreciate that!

This is a great cause everyone, just think, this might be one of the last gifts these poor kids receive. I went to the mall last year and bought some big teddy bears, litter the ice next Friday with teddy bears!!!

Has anyone told the Blazer's they are supposed to be there for a game on that night? It's not showing on our schedule.

For a guy thats 6'3, the fact that he weighs only 180 lbs worries me a little. It looks like hes only been over 250 PIMS once in his entire career. He really seems more like a reactor and what the Thunder really need is an instigator. The fans on his junior teams message board are saying he really only wins around half his fights and that is just not up to Thunder standards. This signing does not impress me whatsoever!

The Thunders new tough guy.

But in all seriousness that is a great idea about the Teddy Bears. I bet that makes the kids day to have a Thunder player visit them in the hospital. It sure would mine if I were a kid in a hospital.
