Game #51 signified the All-Star break for the Preds, though for 3 of our team it wasn’t much of a break as we were chosen to participate in the All-Star weekend! Myself, Shea Weber, and Patric Hornqvist all represented Team Lidstrom for the game itself and I was pretty pleased to don my classic #7 again!
I was pretty honoured to center the top line between Daniel Sedin and Jarome Iginla.
All Star Game - back to the #7
After the break, it was time to get back to real business as we moved into the final 30(ish) games of the season.
Not much to mention this time that the videos can’t take care of so I’ll just post a few to tell the story.
Game 55: a couple of funny goals against Phoenix
First, the odd one:
And then the terrible one:
Game 57: CAREER POINT NUMBER 100!
Game 59: CAREER GOAL NUMBER 50!
Man, it felt awesome to get this goal! The 100 points was nice… but there is something about goals… to hit a mark like this was amazing! And it starts to make me wonder if I can catch Selanne’s amazing record of 76 goals in his rookie season. Wow, that would be cool.
