Finally, we are getting somewhere. The last guy could skate in a straight line. This guy can change direction without stopping. Which, by the way, this guy can also stop!
Fun fact : I am prospect #41 in the Leafs system. I just missed the cut off because I can't skate and hold a stick at the same time without falling down.

I learned the other day that “Don’t Come Around Here No More” that Tom wrote with Dave Stewart was something he heard Stevie say to Joe Walsh. - Canada Cup
I'd never heard that before. I wonder what the story is behind that. I bet it's a good one. I'd love to be a fly on the wall with Stevie Nicks and Joe Walsh in the room.
I've had a crush on Stevie for decades. Even today, I would still disappoint the poop out of her for two or three minutes.

Apparently it was after she and Walsh broke up and he kept coming around there some more. She wrote a song for him earlier in their relationship.
Cool fact; Tom Petty wrote the song with Stewart for Nicks' first solo album and she turned it down and settled on Stop draggin my heart around. Similarly, Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople turned down Suffragette City and settled on All the Young Dudes from Bowie.

hes gonna calm down when he find out that Skalapy decided to be #41 - 21peter
Nah, I won't be mad. Skalapy earned it with hard work and sheer force of will. And besides, he's much higher than that in the rankings. Mike hasn't even gotten to him yet.
I'm just happy to contribute to the team. I'm a team player. You want me on either wing. I'm there. You want me to block a shot, I'm there. Healthy scratch? I stay in the gym and run drills early to improve my game and hustle to get back in the lineup.
I do all of those things without a stick though. If I try to hold a stick while doing any of it, I fall down like Derpluzzi. Although, I am working with a stick coach and making progress.
