I would just like to take the opportunity to say that, a few years ago at the "Play On" tournament (CrossIron Mills), Ty Rattie played goal for a team made up of him and his friends.
My team (a "Teacher-Team" comprised of me and six of my out of shape teacher-friends) met Goalie Ty and his team in the quarter-finals. They were pretty dismissive of us and were seemingly confident of certain victory. We went to "OT" in this game, which meant "direct to shootout".
Despite me being 15 years older than the newest Oiler golden boy, I somehow managed to convert a sick deke (my go-to is the "Shean Donovan": come in on the forehand, sell the move to the backhand, but then quickly return to forehand, roof) on him. (My teacher-buddy subsequently sealed the deal and we headed to the Semis, 2-0 shootout winners).
Why share this story, you may ask? Who cares?
And because E = NG
