Turns 4 in 23 days. The parents in here have already said it, I know I have, but take it all in. Feels like he was born yesterday.

Aaaaand I just got thrown up all over. Nice thick one too. Being a dad fucking rocks :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow. Yeah, really great read and beautiful tribute. Sounds like he was a hell of a good man. Such a shame he went so young

Re: The NHL Thread
 

At that age it never bothered me. He did it once in the middle of the night all over my shirt. Put him on the changing table, took shirt off, kept feeding. Amazing the things that you just shrug off that before you would have been like "fucking gross!" Sniffing ass is another. lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Exactly. The first time I got peed on I was like "hell yes, little girl!" :lol:lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's one place where be happy it's not a boy. Always had to make sure that thing was covered.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol ugh..this is bad

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah I can imagine pee streams flying around uncontrollably. I don't really have to deal with that :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I have been firing blanks for years now so don't look to me for the next kid.

Big game vs the preds tonight. Get to see what they are all about.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

DUDE!!!! A hearty congratulations. We are all getting so damn old... It's kind of cool that we've all been hanging out in here for as long as we have. We've all kind of watched each other grow up and it's kind of cool. :snot
I saw some new pics of him on my FB feed yesterday and I couldn't believe it. He's looking like a normal boy now... no more toddler at all!
:lol I remember when my twins were like 18 months old and one had a runny nose. Without thinking, I just reached out and wiped it with my hand. No tissue or anything. That's when I knew I was a dad for real. :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

To the first one, yeah it's been a while. I mean well before G was even born. I remember coming in here and talking to you guys while I was still in the hospital with him.

He's getting so big. That fact makes me want another because it goes by so fast but other things make me think i'm good.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I love when the NHL thread gets all dad overload

Re: The NHL Thread
 

jeez, can we stop talking about babies peeing.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Haven't been talking about you birthday boy.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I can't WAIT until you have one. The stories we're going to get in this thread...

Hockey talk: Wouldn't mind a Hawks/Wings SCF. And as much as it hurts me to say it, I would probably go for the Wings - for Babcock, mostly. One of my all-time favorite hockey personalities.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I will say it again. PLEASE STAY!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Looking at the standings, didn't realize how far SJ has fallen. not even in the playoffs right now.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

SCF this year is going to be columbus and st louis.

sorry to everyone who is not a fan of either of those teams.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:monkey:monkey

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The Flyers are only seven points out of a playoff spot. So shocking.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hey Matthew (crashintome), happy birthday, old timer. May all that is OMGCG permeate your every fiber, from now until forever.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Zilla is going to melt when they make the playoffs.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Because he's the snowball in hell?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This.


I know. It's weird. But this.

Some of this for me as well.

This.

Happy Birthday chief.

It's weird. Feels like they're 15 out. But they probably don't have enough to make a run. Too inconsistent. Not winning the games they should. Just blew three in the 3rd in the last week.

He wouldn't melt. He'll come in here all.... "Can't believe they made it with this joke of a team. They're not going anywhere. You all love Holmgren. I remember! YOU ALL said it. I didn't. Flyers have no direction." (they won't go anywhere. Which is OK. Neither do/are any of the other Philly teams. Sixers on just as much of a drought as Flyers now. And Eagles. Kennedy was almost President.....)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I always look forward to Kev's hilarious and all-encompassing multi-posts. Just covering his bases and letting us know he's still around. :)

Almost as much as I look forward to seeing if the Avs are able to trade Briere at the trade deadline.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

thanks for the birthday wishes, ya'll.

Actually going to the game tonight. Really glad LeClair and Lindros will be there since I missed their induction ceremony in November.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Alright, guys, should we tell him what we got him for his birthday?

I'll just say this - If John LeClair shows up and starts giving you a lap dance, just go with it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Maybe Yzerman will be there to blast a blue line shot in, just to complete the evening.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Want outside opinions. A big debate on what site is whether Fedorov's #91 should hang at Joe Louis, or the new arena when it's ready. One guy on the comments was VERY vocal and kept pointing to stats and nothing about Fedorov's personal relationship with Illitch should come into play. He then tried to say to the people who said the number won't or shouldn't be retired that what if Datsyuk retired after this year would you retire his? Which isn't going to happen and even if it did, not at all close to the same thing that went down with Sergei. Fedorov is one of the best, although he probably could have been even better. He helped this team win 3 Cups, that ain't nothing, and by all accounts liked his teammates. But there were the selfish moments. Wouldn't sign after 97 and eventually signed an offer sheet with Carolina (owned by one of the Illitch's "enemies" Karmanos) with a very front loaded contract and the Wings matched so forcing him to stay. He then was offered at one time $10mil per year and $8mil per year from the Wings during the 02-03 season and Illitch met with him personally a few times I believe. Then he signs with the Ducks (totally his right don't get me wrong) for the same money that the Wings were offering. Fans were pretty pissed by this, although I wasn't surprised, and it seemed to make Illitch mad too. Things have calmed down and he played in the alumni game here but all of that is a lot to an owner who values loyalty. I mean Yzerman got a job here and Maltby, Draper, Chelios and Jiri Fischer all have jobs in the organization. What do you guys think? Should he or will he get his # retired? Obviously I know not being around all of this is hard to make a judgement but was curious.
