NCAA hockey botching the regional situation again is in fucking sane. Give top seeds the regionals and pack those barns and make the atmosphere electric for the teams and broadcast . Stop being stubborn and stupid. Bad combo. Whoever is in charge needs to figure it out.
@AnsarKhanMLive Ray Sheppard was such a big piece on those early 90’s teams. Wings need a ring of honor to celebrate players like him and others like Klima and Ogrodnick.
Patrick Kane on Domink Shine: “He’s definitely brought a spark. Every time he plays, he plays hard, gives it his all. And to see a fight tonight, I don’t remember the last time we saw one, so it was pretty exciting for everyone on the bench, especially when you’re down.”
“The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you’re not careful it’s too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth.”
— Norm Macdonald
KIDS: Dominik Shine's path to his first career NHL goal is incredible:
-Four years of junior hockey in the USHL
-Comes into college hockey at Northern Michigan as a 20 year old
-Doesn't get drafted to the NHL
-Plays four years of college hockey before signing a pro contract
-Plays 8 years in the AHL before getting a call up to the NHL
-Becomes the captain for a first place team in the AHL
-In his 9th full professional season, at 32 years old, scores his first NHL goal.
Very few players see the results of their hard work in the time they want to see it. Resilience is a super-power, and if this isn't inspiration to keep at your dreams even through the low moments, I don't know what is.
Everyone has a different path. Congrats to Dominik Shine on his first career NHL goal!
How awesome is this. Sid’s out for a month. And here he is at the Penguins youth clinic. Volunteering his time. Taping a kid’s stick. What a class act. Best hockey ambassador there is.
