Highlights:

1. Wished players good morning again, but most were already there. Though it was cool to hear Pally talking Czech with his dad and he ACTUALLY came out to interact with fans and he was a sweetheart today. Papa Pally, I met! :)

2. TJ was skating, still looks off and could tell with the frequent breaks and lifting of his legs, he was feeling a burn or discomfort, but it's encouraging to know that he was skating.

3. Killer and Dotch were shooting pucks up playfully at the staff; Pally shot one up and this dude caught it, snatching it out of the air with a bare hand. It was impressive.

Heddy ringed a puck off the post at once Point.

4. I miss Boyler...it's too quiet sometimes without his vocal cellys...

5. Coop almost tripped up Dotch, skating into him.

6. Bowness got in Vladdy's face at one Point and was yelling/yapping at him. I think it was just instructions for a drill, but Bowness looked serious.

7. Vladdy made faces at Pointer and Killer; Killer ignored him and Pointer giggled.

8. It's not a Lightning game or practice, until Killer falls down.

9. There was a LOT of Plan A and Plan B chat and action and I heard Jo yell, "Vladdy, you passing to me?" They're such an adorable combo!!

10. Vladdy hugged Yanni and then shoved Heddy and once again got owned by the bigger man.

11. At the end, fans were hounding the players and I felt really bad. I mean it's not everyone, but it's the ebayers and the teenage boys who constantly shout at the various guys with "Can I have your stick?" I'm glad non fell for it, but thanks for ruining me getting Pointer's stick. Assholes. Our frickin fan base sometimes. But oh well, I still got LOTS of opportunities and I don't blame Brayden, in fact I half wonder if he knows and he was just protecting me. (Also he wasn't actually gonna give out the stick I wanted him to...)

12. I love, love, love this team and the staff, but the fans...WOOF!
