The kid wants to be a goalie?!?!
That's a tough job. Looks like he's ready!

There is no need to be torn. There is a very simple application to be completed requesting acceptance as a converted fan of Red Sox Nation.
don't listen to him, lp. he always holds his thumb over the part about your soul and eternal damnation. then you have to sign in blood...
I know that application. When I moved to BC and was found out to be a member of Rider Nation (Saskatchewan Roughriders - once a fan, always a fan) I was given a similar document to sign over all cheering rights to the Lions. I found an escape clause that allowed me to cheer for the Lions unless they were playing the Riders. It's been working well for 30 years ....well, DUH!
Love the pic BuckyT! Can't believe how he is growing up! Oh, and I told Dad about Papa Beier and he got a big chuckle out of it! He said to make sure that mask stays on as he doesn't want another broken nose!here's my desktop pic. my little guy in all of his new hockey gear at grandma and grandpa's house:

So far it has been working well in Baseball - Cheer for Blue Jays when they play others cheer for Red Sox when they play each other...
Sorry Bucky (and Canada) he got to me before your warning! What can I say - they play Neil Diamond for the 7th/8th inning stretch and that wins out over Patriotism in my books!
For some reason I have always liked the Red Sox, even when I was younger. But they are specially dear to my heart since I traced my Dad's Grandfather to Quincy Mass. and found some Red Sox tickets in amongst his papers.Anyone who cheers for the Red Sox is all right in my book.

I really like the Patriots as well.
But please do not EVER expect me to cheer for the Bruins .
I was a goalie all of my life. From five years old, through the minor hockey ranks, junior b and up until now. My participation has been patchy over the last few years, but the gear is still in the basement ready to go when I decide I want to take a few pucks for the team again. When I fall I keep getting up, just a bit slower every year. lol Old jocks die hard. It ain't a pretty thing.....Goalies are a breed apart. Gotta be a little nuts to do that job. BT, remind him to ALWAYS wear that mask, protect that cute little noggin of his.
We do have a rather large number of banners hanging in the Garden. I don't even follow them. Or the Celtics. I do know that any time we are playing the Maple Leafs or Canadiens, there is a lot of concern. We reconize there superior playing skills. After all hockey belongs to Canada.
It hasn't been very fun being a Leafs, Senators or Canadians fan for the last decade. The Bruins have been doing well the last few years. On the bright side, we can get out and enjoy the nice spring weather because our teams are rarely in the playoffs ...
This week:
I've always loved that picture of mom and baby PF. It can't possibly be a real picture, can It?
SOOOOOOO sweet!!
