Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am a very thankful man. As you sit to break bread and give thanks with family and friends today, I invite you to think about some things you might be thankful for. For instance:

I am thankful there are still players like Trevor Gillies out there. He’s a young kid just trying to make it to the show. He knows how he’s going to get there, and has no problem doing the job asked of him.

I am thankful Gordie Dwyer had a fight last night. I was beginning to think he was a woman.

I am thankful Tie Domi is still in the league. He had a fight with Andrew Alberts last night, and played a regular shift as well. He’s one of the guys that got me interested in fights in the first place, and I am glad he still plays.

I am thankful for all the boys across the AHL, NHL, ECHL, CHL, UHL, and whatever HL, out there willing to drop the gloves.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
