i CAN has a goal!
So, on my BDay, I head to the NHL store at the behest of my friends. We get there, and Tom is clamoring for my attention. "Over your shoulder, Vin." Lo, I turn around, And It's Gary Bettman! :WORSHIP:

Tom thanks him for keeping the Sabres afloat during dark times, I mention the same thanks re: Our Isles lean years. Then, I chat it up with The Boss for a minute.

Asked him about protecting the goalies and if he feels enough is done.
He replies "some on the inside feel we may do TOO MUCH."
Undaunted, I replied "Sir, we on the Island are very protective of our netminder."
He replies: "Yes, and you should be, you have a great one!" :hug:

My only regret:

I should've shaved. Who knew I'd meet Hockey royalty? :dontknow:

His cheeks seem awfully rosy. Was it cold and windy or was Gary throwing a few back..................possibly to get through a Rag$ game.

What a great picture! He seems glad to be there. And I'm glad he's still the commish. At least until Moose gets the job.
