Congrats Tacoman!
It is also worth noting that fans of this organization can really respect and love the hard-working, high-character types! Patterson, Yelle, Nystrom, Bouma.. and Coleman, whom you compared your son to. I love Coleman, and I really believe that the Flames wouldn't be where they are today in the standings if it wasn't in large measure for what he brings on and off the ice. He has been relentless from the get-go. I have opined on what I want to see the Flames do in terms of off-season moves, but never once have I stated that either Backlund or Coleman should be going anywhere. Reading up on Taco Jr. just makes me smile knowing that we will most likely end up watching and loving yet another relentless, hard-working contributor on and off the ice. That's what your post made me think about, and it really did make me smile. Can't wait to cheer him on!
