Baptiste is leading the AHL in goals now (in seven less games than #2). I hope that can translate to the NHL soon.

Stranger Things on Netflix was really good. Kind of like Freaks and Geeks meet E.T.

This is my second Veteran's Day as an Active Duty member. It still feels a little awkward to be thanked for my service. Hope everyone had a great day. Also, thank you to my grandfather Charles for his service in the Navy.

WPIG was playing the game last week on TuneIn.

I just finished Daredevil. The wife and I both liked it.

United States Air Force for the last two years.

I went to a game when I was on leave in February. The fans are pretty involved and loud. Especially for a non-traditional hockey market.

Well done, Tank.

On leave in Nashville...25° here. Back at the house in Honolulu it's 75°.

Nicely done.

I know he didn't come back for a shift, but I would swear I saw him back on the bench later. Also, he skated out to the center faceoff dot and back to the bench. Either way, blocking a Weber slap shot is crazy.

Just got back from the Jets/Preds game. A few observations to add to what's already been said - Myers started the game on the power play, but I don't believe he touched the ice during the 5 on 3. He tried to skate a little a few shifts after blocking Weber's shot.

I'll be going to the Preds/Jets game tonight to see the other side of the trade.

Chlamydia?

Does Honolulu count?

I just celebrated my first year in the Air Force, and so far it's been great. I've heard going to the Officer Academy in the states is pretty rough. You pretty much get treated like crap for four years. The difference between enlisted and officer was best described to me as...officers lead programs, and sergeants lead people. Obviously, that could be different depending on what your job is.

Fitting. I laughed.

73° here in Honolulu.

I went and volunteered for a food drive instead of watching. Sounds like I made the right choice.

I'd only want Ekblad if we get the Isles pick this year instead of 2015.

Absolutely. You're welcome!

This is my first 4th of July as an official US Airman, it feels pretty cool. Happy Independence Day!
