A 'Feel Good' Story to Counter MLB Negotiations Fatigue

---

In his third full season, Ethan, is getting 16 minutes ice time per game with Carolina, suggesting third D-pairing. At 5'11" he doesn't have the leverage and wingspan of Zedeno Chara or Chris Pronger to chop down forwards, but he has skill and smarts. A defensemen who follows his grandmother's advice "Love one another. Be kind to one another" is also not very Pronger-like, so let's hope Ethan finds a way and a place to have a long NHL career. He will have plenty of time to play for The Thunder. 

Mike Bossy has passed away at 65. At 1 hour, 29 minutes in, what he considered his most spectacular goal. (He scored 658 of them in the NHL.) Inimitable: only the heel of his stick was touching the ice. Howie Meeker was there to squeak his delight. I am impressed to see again the speed and smoothness of the hockey back in 1982. Denis Potvin, Bossy smooth as silk. As Howie schooled Canada, “I want you to watch how the Islanders pass that puck!" I had forgotten how well-rounded and good they were.
