I wish I would have known this when he was playing hockey (in Manchester) about 15 minutes from my house! He's gorgeous : )
Well - you may still have a chance since he's mostly been called up and reassigned to the AHL team (I'm thinking he'll be back in Manchester) -- keep an eye out!!
I DEFINITELY will! : )
I don't know what he did, but he got a 10 minute major today in his game against the hawks--I hate that it wasn't on tv. I can't tell what happens when I'm only listening over the internet!
