Earlier, we covered the first half(ish) of Marchand’s goals during his streak. And no, not the kind of streak in your pants; Brad Marchand was on a goal scoring streak with 13 goals in 13 games. While we finishing reliving his streak, try not to focus on the fact that he’ll be due for a pay raise after next season. Also, put your feet up! Relax! Don’t take yourself too seriously. The world is too tough as it is, so go ahead and enjoy yourself.

Father Time Always Wins – Part 1
It’s comforting, knowing that some things never change.
The big maple tree in your front yard; knowing that your mom will always cook you a homemade meal; your high school crush still isn’t into you; or that your favorite athlete is going to be playing on your favorite team on gameday. I still have several comforts like that. There’s the family barn, built in 1896. There’s the worn out, stained sweatshirt I wear every Saturday. I still visit my mother every other week (or so) for dinner, and it’s always better than anything I’ve ever cooked.
But there have also been changes that I never thought I would see happen. The big maple tree in front of my grandmother’s old farmhouse is gone; cut down by my father and I a few years ago. That same farmhouse with the flower wallpaper, yellow cabinets, the pantry that hid the oatmeal cream pies, and the pea-green refrigerator with string cheese in the freezer has been completely renovated since she passed away. Now, I live there. Brett Favre, the iron-man who’s youthful smile got me into football, retired a couple of times. I guess he decided sitting on his wrangler jean money was better than getting his brain knocked around for a few more years.
And now? The next familiar face to emulate the Titanic, both in size and form?
Zdeno Chara.
