The Next Maurice Richard

My cousin's son Leighton is a major hockey fan. Of course being from Montreal - he is a #1 Montreal Canadiens fan! Leighton and I played some one on one in the basement over the weekend. He is quite good at playing. He whipped my butt good in getting the goals into the net. Debbie, John and I watched the game Saturday night - the great rivalry of Montreal vs Toronto Maple Leafs. It was quite exciting at times as one of the Canadien player, Ryder played a "natural hat trick" I believe in the 2nd period. For a novice like myself, a natural hat trick is 3 consective goals are achieved by the same player. Unfortunately, Toronto beat us by 1 point preventing the Canadiens to advance to the Stanley cup playoffs. But Montreal got the last laugh you might say - the next day the New York Islanders won their game ending Toronto's bid - so neither teams are going to the Stanley playoffs.
