There are some gestures of kindness and care that make losses seem secondary. Losing like the Oilers did last night is complete misery, but to come out after that game and make Tristan feel like he is the only thing that matters is worthy of a thank you. Well done Connor.
Captain Connor spent a few minutes with Tristan in the

Kevin Lowe should have his number retired in Edmonton and in my opinion he should be in the Hall of Fame. He was an incredible player, the best teammate and a driving force for 5 Cups in Edm, and a big part of his 6th in NY. HOF credentials

Leon is great example of young player with high expectations whose career didn’t start out way he would like. Instead of laying blame on others, he went out and was the best CHL player in the Memorial Cup and went back to the NHL and is now a 50 goal scorer. Great role model

As this playoff progresses, remember the goal by Bouchard and what it does for him. On A 5 on 3 when he would usually defer to 97, 29, he took a feed and walked down the slot and ripped it top shelf. That kind of goal could change everything. Breakthrough. Confidence.
