Johnny Gaudreau’s first hat trick game at home. What a game!

I just came across an old ticket of mine. It’s a great memory of the Saddledome and Johnny. I got flown into town as a total birthday surprise to go see the Flames vs Bruins with my brothers, and it ended up being fantastic. Boston went up 4-3 on a Marchand penalty shot with about a minute left, Hudler tied it with 2 seconds to go, and then Gaudreau scored in OT to win it 5-4. That was his first hat trick at home.
I’ve have never been in a louder cheering arena. We were leaping and hugging everyone. What an amazing memory. RIP Johnny.
We're coming back over Christmas and get one last game vs San Jose. This time I'm bringing my son.
Sure miss having these physical tickets.

Vintage Japanese Blanc De Chine Lamp.

It has a fancy porcelain body with a raised cherry blossom tree. It’s quite beautiful. One of the setting is this cool nightlight feature. I love it.

Jays rookies incoming

I’m heading to the Blue Jays vs. Padres game in a couple of weeks with my wife and daughters. I’m a card collector, so I decided to start PC’ing the current Blue Jays roster by picking up a rookie card for every player.
We’re planning to get to the ballpark early and see if we can get some autographs. For most of the players, I tried to find a nice parallel or something a little more interesting than just the base rookie.
Below is what I picked up and what I paid. Cards highlighted in yellow are still in the mail, and the ones in green have already arrived.
I built the list from the current roster, although I know that can change pretty quickly. Hopefully I didn’t miss anyone!
Anyone else I might want to pick up before the 11th?

I was from Calgary in college in Louisiana. I made pretty good friends with a guy from New Jersey over the year while playing roller hockey. At the end of the school year , he had already purchased a playoff package. He said if New Jersey makes it to the finals he’d fly me in for a game. ?!?!
When they made it, he called and said game three or four?
Pretty unbelievable.
When exiting the stadium, I started a “We got the cup” chant in the tunnel under the freeway . I remember how that chant went on and on and then could hear it had spread everywhere after exiting the tunnel.
I look back on how lucky I was to have that opportunity to see a cup clenching game.
