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! 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!" My only regret: I should've shaved. Who knew I'd meet Hockey royalty?

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. |
