...giving me an excuse to post this video.
My god.
Terms of the deal were not released, as is the policy of the Detroit Red Wings. However, any terms that lock up a player like Datsyuk for the long term is fine with me. He leads the Wings with 87 points going into the final game of the season, and is an immeasurable talent who has gotten better each season in the NHL. Not convinced?
Thought so.

Welcome
I am one of those guys.
You know, the ones who argue for hours on end about anything and everything sports, no matter how trivial or relevant. I am currently in the midst of an argument with my good friend as to whether or not Dice-K threw the mystical gyroball pitch last night (I firmly contend he did not...why waste such a good pitch on the Royals?). My dorm room television may as well have 3 channels: ESPN, ESPN2 and FSN. I bleed some strange combination of Maize & Blue, Tiger Blue, Blue and Red, Red Wings Red, and, sadly, even a little Honolulu Blue. I skip class to see the Tigers raise their American League Championship banner, and try not to go out on weekends until after the final horn of the Pistons game. A Red Wings championship banner hangs not only in Joe Louis Arena, but in my bedroom at home.
Yes, I have an unhealthy obsession with sports. In the coming days, months, and hopefully even years, I will share with you my insights on baseball, football, basketball, hockey, and whatever else may be the big story of the day. And in celebration of the newborn season, I will leave you will a little baseball love courtesy of Jay Buhner (and Deadspin, the greatest sports blog on the planet).
