Yesterday after the blue jackets practice, Danny Gare went out onto Nationwide ice with Derrick Brassard and Derek Dorsett to show them some things about shooting that he had learned over his career (an NHL all-star and a two time 50 goal scorer). It was recorded and up on the CBJ's website.
Danny can still really shoot the puck! The coolest thing about the whole thing is that Brassard sought Danny out. Brassard is leading the rookie race in scoring and also leading the jackets in points, yet he still is trying every day to get better and better. Not only that, he is a really nice, polite, and respectful kid. I sat and watched the whole thing and afterwards grabbed Dany's stick and gloves and shot the puck around with Brassard and Dorsett. Even though these guys are in some cases, 15 years younger than me, as a hockey lover I am still a fan and that was quite exciting for me...even though I didn't really show it.
Go Jackets!!

That Gare/Brass story was entertaining, from you and the Dispatch.
Heading out to take some shots with the kids? Nice. Pretty cool.
I haven't shot a puck in about 28 years. Now that would be amusing.
