The first annual Hockey Week in Acton is over. I did four games in four nights, and watched another three on television. The highlight was obviously Saturday’s tilt against Washington. MOL, my brother and I were there for the old time hockey showing in Boston. I actually called it in Halftime Pizza that they would go right off the hop, and damn I am glad I was right. Lucic is now officially a God in Boston. Some other highlights and low lights of the week.
-The woman in Ray Bourque’s entourage in Lowell last Wednesday. I don’t know if it was Chris’s girlfriend, or his daughter, or who the hell she was, but she was easily one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Jaw droppingly hot.
-Seeing Trevor Gillies wearing the Captain C in Worcester Friday night. I don’t think anyone wanted a piece of him. Tom Rowe loves him, and it was cool to see.
-I still can’t get over how disrespectful the Toronto fans were during the National Anthem Thursday.
-Speaking of Thursday. That was the worst game of the week. Here they are in order. Worst to first.
Bruins vs. Toronto
Bruins vs. Washington (Monday)
Bruins vs. Florida
Bruins vs. New York
Albany vs. Worcester
Lowell vs. Hershey
Bruins vs. Washington (Saturday)
Bruins have a lot of games upcoming, and they look out of gas. If they make the playoffs, it’ll be one and done I feel. I am looking forward to the tilt Saturday against Philly. I’d give a lot to be there. Anyone that can hook me up, I’d give them a free Goonblog T-shirt? No?
Blond with blue eyes about 5’5″?
Didn’t make it to the eyes, but probably.
Melissa, his daughter. Bartends at his restaurant.

Where is Trevor Gillies now?
I would like to contact him and let him know of the passing of one of his great fans, my grand daughter, Sarah Beth Godfrey 12/07.
Her son keeps a Trevor’s hand-signed jersey next to his bed from Springfield Falcon’s games. Sarah’s son’s name is Tyler Godfrey Dionne.
Left field request, but it would be a great motivator to Tyler. Tyler is doing great, but what a HUGE adjustment he has to make at 10 years.
Thanks so much,
Ilse
Ilse, First off, let me saw how sorry I am for your loss. I couldn’t imagine the pain you must feel. Trevor is with the Carolina Hurricanes organization. I’m sure you could reach out to him via either the Hurricanes, or the Albany River Rats. Secondly, if you e-mail me your address and shirt size, I’d be happy to send along a Goonblog T shirt for Tyler. It’s the least we could do. Thanks so much for stopping by.
