Bask in it. Just stare at it awhile. We'll wait ...

... OK, too long. You're a creep.

Gudas' "Young Santa Claus" is made all the more remarkable when you consider two additional facts. First, he didn't get a running start on the playoff beard, like Shea Weber did with last year's standout face forest -- according to the team, he started his war bear right around playoff time.

Shannon,  29, said the contract, which had to be negotiated with the permission of the Lightning, is a great way to "extend" his career and provide some security for his family. As for a season in which he had just four goals, 12 points and was minus-11 in 45 games while averaging 12:01 of ice time, Shannon said he has no hard feelings about how he was handled

He's also a folk hero for the Detroit Red Wings, scoring the dirtiest of dirty goals in playing a primary role on three Stanley Cup winning teams (appearing on a fourth).

As Helene St. James of the Freep notes, unrestricted free agent Holmstrom could decide his career is at an end, or he could desire to play another year with the Red Wings after scoring 11 goals in 74 games last season.

The question is whether GM Ken Holland wants him taking a roster spot from a young, faster offensive player. Via Ansur Khan at MLive.com
