Free burgers for life? Not so much for Sens' Andrew Hammond

Talk about a lunch bag letdown -- at least for some of us who ate up this story last spring.

Andrew (The Hamburglar) Hammond received his "free for life" card from McDonald's Tuesday night, but it didn't exactly come as advertised. Rather than a lifetime card, as the fast-food giant had stated it would give the Senators goalie during his historic run down the stretch, he was handed coupons worth $1,000.

Not by any stretch was Hammond complaining, however.

"Hey, they didn't need to do anything," said Hammond, who played along with the popularity of his nickname by having The Hamburglar -- a cartoon character dreamed up by McDonald's decades ago -- drawn on his mask.
