At one point in the evening, Chris Butler ices the puck three times in short succession. I turned to my sister and asked if she had ever seen footage of baby albatross attempting to fly for the first time and leave their nests. She said "No, why?"

I said "because some of the baby albatrosses fly better than others. And the ones that don't fly so good, well, they often end up in the belly of a tiger Shark. The ones that fly survive and reproduce, while the weaker chicks are a meal for predators. Natural selection, the circle of life and all."

Sister, unimpressed. "Uh huh. And?"

Me: "Were Chris Butler an albatross, and believe you me he is, he'd have been born in a zoo."

Farewell, pointy headed man.
Yet he played 400 plus games in the NHL. Would your sister be impressed by that?
