Finally back in the line-up last night, Man I missed playing, it felt so great to get out there with the guys again. I was so appreciative of the fans, the Tank welcomed me back with a huge applause on my first shift, and that I will Never forget!

Last night I recorded my 700th assist, which was awesome. I have played with a lot of great players in my career, which I have been very lucky for. I was psyched it was Cheech that scored the goal. I know how frustrated he has been this year, struggling with his confidence, and knowing how hard he works, and how loved he is in our locker room! I was pumped that I could help Cheech in a positive way! I am grateful.

Did anyone see the interview with the U. Conn Huskies Men’s Basketball coach? This disgusted me. You have the number one basketball team in the Nation, one of the Best College programs in all of NCAA, and you have a lame Brain idiot reporter, ask the coach about his salary in relation to the Nation’s deficit. This is what bothers me about the media, always trying to create controversy. Who cares how much the coach makes, he is very good at what he does, and his team brings in incredible funds for the university, so why the stupid question, sounds like the reporter is suffering from a case of jealously!

I met Bryce Law, one of January’s winners for “Fan of the Month” at the game last night. Bryce came with his family, what a cute kid and nice family. I love when a young kid has great manners, and Bryce was awesome meeting all the players on the team. You would be amazed at how many kids approach me seeking a signature without a please or a thank you! What are parents not teaching their kids these days? Respect and manners will take you a long way in life, Kids! Kudos to Kevin and Michelle Law, their son Bryce and Daughter Payton were great!
