Be Mine

Today, I opened up my paper bag decorated with hearts and Cupids, and found several Valentines from various Bulldog players. I thought I'd share them with you all, since they are so nice.




Dear RWD,
You were right about the hair.
Nisky

Dear RWD,

Thank you for making me one of your "guys." I will score a goal for you in my return to the ice this weekend. Thanks for remembering me.

Jason Garrison

Dear RWD,

I appreciated your words of encouragement during the Saturday game against Denver. I'm sorry I got kicked out, but it wasn't my fault. I didn't know Veideman was such a big baby. I was planning on scoring a goal for you, or at least getting in a fight with Paukovich, but I guess I'll have to do something awesome this weekend instead.

Big Mike

p.s. Bruce Ciskie is acting kind of creepy toward me lately. I think he likes me more than a friend.

Dear RWD,

My dad is crazy enough as it is. I wish you would stop encouraging him.

Gors

Dear RWD,

It felt really good to shove that guy in the face. I'm glad you noticed it and mentioned it on the Scott Sandelin show. I will definitely try to play more physical in the future.

Andrew Carroll

Dear RWD,

My mom's friends said you were really loud. However, so were they. Thanks for coming to Denver and supporting the team!

Kemper the Wrecker

Dear RWD,

Why do you like Mike Curry better than me? I am jealous. How do I get back to being your favorite guy? Please help.

Gergzilla

I thought it was really sweet of them to think of me on Valentine's Day! Thanks guys! Let's see a big sweep this weekend!

Happy Birthday, Eh?

Dear Logan Gorsalitz,

Happy Birthday! I hear it's your 21st, which is probably the last exciting birthday you'll have. Seriously, kid, it's all downhill from here. Just be careful who you're doing body shots off of.

Sincerely,
RWD

P.S. Did you know your dad promised to give you his car for your birthday?

Save The Children

You know, comrades, this whole blog is about helping people. I'm not in this for fame, glory, or money. Obvs. I would have thrown in the towel A LONG FREAKING TIME AGO if that were the case. So I was recently made aware of a situation in which I can use my blogging powers for good, rather than evil. I'm sure it'll be a refreshing change, but enjoy it while it lasts...

Imagine you are a child. Like, this one, perhaps.













Now imagine you grow up, play hockey, and leave your home for a better life in America.

Now imagine your father replaces you with another child.

And then imagine the child looks like this:





And then imagine your father spends all his (Canadian) money on fuzzy dice and turtle wax and "I Brake For Pelicans" bumper stickers and other crap, so you're desperate for money.

And then your dad pimps you out to a baby picture contest for a mere pittance.

Please, comrades, you can help Logan Gorsalitz by voting for him in the Hockey Baby Picture Contest. (Although, evidently you must live in Duluth...)

(Seriously, if you pay to vote [for anyone, really, although I guess I'm officially endorsing Logan], your money will go to St. Mary's Children's Hospice. Just like the teddy bears you threw. Gors gets a gift card if he wins, of course, but WE ARE ALL WINNERS when we help people.)

And then, since the Bulldogs had a REAL victory (to go along with the MORAL victory from the baby picture contest), we have:

Numbers
Points Until We Surpass Last Year's Total: 20 (non-conference! But we'll take what we can get!)
Wins Until We Surpass Last Year's Total: 9

My "Guys" Competition:
Matt Niskanen: 19!
Mike Curry: 10

Stalock: 3

C. Ryan: 1 (FIRST POINT AS A BULLDOG!!! WAY TO GO, BUDDY!!!!!!)

Sweet. Now all competitors have points! Game on!
