James Tanner: PLUS/MINUS: 1st Career Goal, Rejuvinated Habs and NHL Player Safety Dpt.

I don't know about being comfortably in a playoff spot, but at least they are in the conversation (Boston is only one point behind with 4 games in hand). All this while Pacioretty has been kind of quiet this year (so far).

The Ducks have D men coming out their ears... he was Ducks 5th best D man at this time.
Meanwhile they need skilled F like a dying man needs water... Kesler / Getzlaf / Eaves / Silf / Rakell / out name me one team... ONE you goof .. that could survive 5 top 6 forwards out for a quarter of the season and be in the thick of playoff race... please don't be so obtuse... Rico is a solid all around player who's already been a terrific move and Blandisi is better than I thought he'd be already....

They beat Blues and took Cbus & Preds to the limit on B2B's when they get healthy they're gonna Roll the league.

Ducks still have Mahura / Pettersson / Larsson / Megna / Andy Welinski all coming in the next 2 years ...

Did you mention to your boy that faceoffs don't matter and it isn't anything to get excited about?

Hey James. Please write more. I think some of your concepts are completely out the window but I really do enjoy reading your blogs...especially about the coyotes. Fell free to write a couple of these types of blogs a week.

PS. Congrats on the goal, even though you didn't score it. It's such a thrill for us parents too and never grows old.

Yeah that is for sure. First goal I'm allowed to be a bit nuts haha. Thanks

Tanner:

Did they give you the puck?

If so, Google up "trophy puck holder" - you can get something good for around $10-20.

My kid got the puck after his 1st goal, i took it and threw it out the window on the way home. Dont want to raise a softie.

Should've thrown the kid out the window. No way he would end up a softie then...

Or you could change his name to Sue

Nice rink. Half of me hopes it gets cold enough for my local ones to go too, other half is hoping this warm winter continues.

True Wedgie story:

I always give the kids on my teams their first goal puck.

One girl kept telling me she couldn't wait to finally get her first ever goal - and puck.

She finally popped one a few weeks ago at a tournament. At the end of the game, I told her not to go into the dressing room (no cameras allowed).

So I collect her dad, make the presentation. Ask her dad if he wants to take a photo.

"No, I'm good."

"Do you want me to take one on my phone and email it to you?"

"Thanks, but no."

He's a great guy, so I kinda wondered why he was being such a Richard.

As luck would have it, we sat next to each other an hour later for a team lunch.

We got talking about it. I politely expressed my surprise he wasn't more excited about his daughter's first ever goal.

"Did she really tell you that? What the hell? She scored plenty of goals last year - including a few hat tricks."

We were pissing ourselves laughing for the rest of the lunch. I kept asking the kid questions like if that was the first chicken nuggets she's ever eaten, etc.

congrats on your sons first goal tanner! heres hoping to many more

and ive seen LCD Soundsystem perform live twice in the past 6 months and both performances rank in the top 5 best live shows i have ever seen. absolutely phenomenal. i didnt understand until i saw them live

Good for your young fella. A moment he will remember well into his old years.

Nice looking rink.
If you improve it a little each year you'll be like my neighbour in no time with a full set of boards, lighting etc all set to go by mid october.
