Steve Sullivan is old and stuff but not really

Posted by Jake Goldsbie under Deep Thoughts, I Dunno, Opinion on Jul 05, 2012

Come on, how can you not love this guy? Just look at that face.

I don’t know if any of you noticed but July 4, 2012 saw a pretty massive free agent signing that could really put a Stanley Cup contender over the top. Okay, not really, but lost in the shuffle of all the Parise/Suter madness was a signing that didn’t get a lot of coverage but warmed the darkest, frozen parts of my dead heart.
