If anyone ever asks you what hockey is all about, here you go...

Fabulous.
Kudos to Savard.

 

That's a pretty amazing, historic moment.

Imagine, the first-ever instance of a professional athlete acknowledging a young child, and it just happened! And the athlete is SUCH a good guy, he even gave the kid a piece of equipment used during the game!

I'm so glad to see how unique hockey is, in having these player-fan interactions. Man, that really is what hockey, and ONLY hockey, is all about.

Seriously, that's a great photo. But let's not act like hockey has a monopoly on parents putting their kids in danger . . . errrr . . . helping them to secure a souvenir from a friendly player.

 

My wife was almost teary-eyed when we realized it was Savard who scored the goal.

And I'm the hockey nut among us.

Have to acknowledge ... a guy who had missed 2 months due to cheap shot, scoring the OT winner in his first game back, in the playoffs, is a great story.

 

The other side of handing your stick to someone in the stands...

 

That unfortunately is also often what hockey's all about.

 

I'm getting a blue question mark. (The Apple equivalent of a red X.)

Fill us in on what happened.

 

Nothing.

 

Wow. You're a dick.

 

High praise.
