Red and White Eagle?
Sportsnet.ca is reporting that Ed Belfour is looking to sign with the Detroit Red Wings and become the backup goalie to Chris Osgood.
This report came from the Toronto Sun and it quoted Belfour’s agent, “Ed’s plans are definitely to play goal again in the NHL. He’s weighing his options, doing his therapy religiously (from spring back surgery) and making significant progress every day.”
When he was asked if the Leafs not picking up his
option, Beflour’s agent replied,”it would be hard not to pay attention to Ed Belfour if he’s available. He’s come back from every kind of adversity.”
Belfour is a sub-par starter but would be a very good back-up. If The “Fallen” Eagle chooses to
sign with the Red Wings expect the best one-two
goaltending punch in the NHL.
