And speaking of the Tips, I'm still a little mad at them, but I had to mention some good news coming from Hewitt Avenue yesterday afternoon. My good pal Taylor Ellington, who was drafted #33 in 2007 by the Canucks, signed his entry level contract yesterday. Whoooooooooooo!
He's had such a great season and worked so hard. He doubled his point total, doled out so many hard and good hits; and he also won part of the team MVP award. I'm so proud of him... and hopefully I'll get to give him a big bear hug tonight at Sporty's as he and Graham Potuer are going to be doing the weekly radio show.
Also, I thought it would be fun to see just how many boys named Patrick there are in the NHL, and I think I found a few good ones who are not only Patrick, but Patrik and Patrice.
Patrice Bergeron of the Bruins...
Patrick Kaleta and Lalime as well as assistant coach James Patrick from the Sabres...
Patrick Eaves who plays with the Canes...
Patrick Kane and Sharp of the Blackhawks...
A good Irish boy with the Oilers, Patty O'Sullivan...
Another French Patrick, Patrice Brisebois who is back with the Habs...
A Czech Patty, Patrik Elias...
PattyMarleau, captain of the Sharkies...
Swedish sweetie Patrik Berglund...
and of course the great Patty Roy...
Have a good day and don't drink too much beer... it makes the puck go all wonky on tv. :)
