Thanks again to GettingIggyWithIt. Best game of the season for me -- 3-2 loss against Chicago late, 2-1 OT over Carolina with Butler scoring late, 2-0 loss Olympic night and then tonight's back and forth gem that saw Calgary steal the game. On top of that my buddy bought a Big Ern pic and wanted to get it signed, I grabbed a hat just in case --
It was awesome talking to the players!
Monahan -- Thinks he and Gaudreau had good chemistry when I asked him about Johnny
Big Ern -- Offered to personalize my buddies portrait of the salute which was pretty awesome, loves the fans.
Wesgarth - Loves playing with Big Ern, I said both him and Brian had been playing lights out and he was quick to point out 'We are 20 and 11 since the line brawl with a massive smile. I laughed and said ya Vancouver fell apart and he laughed harder and repeated that phrase hahaha
Bouma -- Says some shot blocks hurt but others aren't so bad, loves the playing with everyone
Gio -- Most impressed with Money Hands this year
Backlund -- Hands is feeling better, wants 20 but doesnt want to rush his hand
Smid -- Smiled big when I said his first name is the best in the league
Russell -- Favourite guy to play with is Butler cause that's who is paired with, I asked him to talk to Buts for driving passed the 4 people lol he laughed hard
Glencross -- signed my buddies shades, most unique thing he has signed according to him and his wife haha
MacDonald -- was driving Cundari and Van BraBant, they looked like they were floating haha, super nice kid Bryce is.
Ramo -- got a kick out of Grand Theft Ramo haha, super nice guy
Stajan -- Could not have been a more curtious fellow, thanked us when we brought up his shootout goal and was very gracious.
Was not expecting a game like tonight, it kinda was on a whim and cheers to the season ticker holders who are giving the great deals that they are. Super proud of our team and the time they took too at the end of a long night/late start. Pumped!!!
