Man, would this bee cool. I couldn't imagine having the chance to do this with my favorite team.

That is a pretty cool story, one of those right place right time stories.

Can you imagine it though, chilling in the locker room about ready to go play Rockband or something and then NHL guys are firing rubber at you while you try to not piss your pants!!

I am trying not to piss my pants right now...and I am 27!!!

The kid probably played better than Emery or Gerber.

Zing!

What the kid should've done is waited in the locker room a little bit and then said he wasn't a morning person, hence the late arrival on the ice. The Sens would've felt right at home.

I had a similar episode a few years back. I live in Kamloops (B.C.) and a lot of former Blazers (WHL, Junior) come back to the area in the summer. In early August I had been helping run a hockey school. After the kids left I was on the Ice just messing around and one of the trainers for the junior team came out and said if I didn't have plans I should hang around and play with the next group. Sure enough I did. A lot of the players were Blazers, but among the other players on the ice were Iginla, Doan, Recchi, Brewer and Sydor. It was pretty cool. Though Brewer did rub me out pretty hard on one rush.

It is one of those funny things though. I have always considered myself a very good player, but that day, I was going near full tilt just to try to keep up with these guys who were in summer (pre-training camp mode).

Weak!!! I responded earlier, talking about how I got the chance to play with some rather talented NHLers and nobody responded in jealousy!!! Dammit!!!

Oh well, I just made some lady connections in the Okanagan, and apparently, (according to bartenders) many-a-Red Wing, Including, the Hollands's locate there in the summer. And While, it is a little late for this year, perhaps with my gift of the gab, and previous connections, and can get a summmer skate at Prospera Place in Kelowna with a few of our crew.
