Patrick Lalime is Apparently Still Playing.

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Patrick Lalime has been assigned to Norfolk for a two week conditioning period.

Signed as a free agent on July 1st, Lalime underwent surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back in early September and has not yet played a game for the Blackhawks.

He officially begins his conditioning stint Wednesday with the Norfolk Admirals.

I wasn't aware that he was still in the NHL.
