Had a long talk with an old friend last night. I've missed having Patty around. It's funny how life works ya know? By dumb luck we got stuck together as road roommates after he was traded to Colorado and now, I don't think there are many people who know me better. I mean come on....it's Patrick Fucking Roy. I'm still in awe of his talents - even after all these years. I'm more than honored to be able to call him my friend; honestly, probably my best. He's a sometimes bad tempered crazy fucker, but he's truly one of a kind.
I'm also gonna be his best man - now I just gotta figure out what to get him. I'll be heading up to Quebec City in July - his wedding misses my birthday by a day. Don't think I didn't give him plenty of shit about that. But he sounds happy and that's the best thing. And Patrick, I'll track down Tangers soon.
I guess I take for granted that some of my closest friends are some of the most talented hockey players on the planet - not just Patrick. Joe, Rob, Buster... they are like brothers to me.
Gotta patch some things up here soon and then Robbie - we still on?
