Jay Miller has the same metabolism as his daddy, so usually right after he eats; he needs to be taken out to poop. I get home at 6, feed him and Milan Lucic, and we head out. On tonight’s walk, after Milan made a nice dude we came across a very big Golden Retriever. At least I think it was a retriever. The lady walking him brought him right over, and the Golden got right in Milan’s grille. Milan must have owed him one from Junior or something, because she got the stick down, and gloves off most Rikki Tik! The bout started out very even with Milan going right for the bigger combatant’s ear causing the Golden to get on its back. Milan then went for the neck and was giving him a good gnawing when the linesman (me, and the horrified woman) got in to separate the two. As we were separating them, the Golden must have said something to Miller, because he jumped right in there and gave him a couple of nips before we separated them as well. I was saying, All over, all over! while trying to pull both Bruins to the box. I had to give the 2, 5, 10 to Milan, and the 3rd man in to Miller, but it was a great fight. Miller was saying the whole way back Ah, bahk! Bahk Kid! You want some more of me Kid; I’ll give it to you again! Um. I need to get to a hockey game.
Tomorrow the NHL is making a big announcement with the Boston Bruins. I’ve been totally wrong on things before, but I’d bet both my arms, legs, and tackle, the worst kept secret in all of sports will be announced. The schedules will come out, and January 1st, the Bruins will play at Fenway Park against either the Capitals, or Flyers. Schedule day is the last big event before the season starts, and one of my favorite days on the calendar. I am giddy, and I can’t wait for this stupid summer to be over! George and I have talked about a possible road trip to Toronto this season, and tomorrow we can start planning. As Jay Miller would say, Bahk Bahk KID! I’m wicked pumped!
