Happy Lucky 13
Friday the 13th is lucky for hockey heads in New Jersey. It’s Patrik Elias’ birthday (and at age 31, that’s 13 backwards), and it’s Bubba’s 13th birthday. That’s Bubba, holding up a sign we made for last night’s Devils game. Rough translation: “All the best for your birthday tomorrow”. Seems to have worked twice, with Elias notching a goal and an assist (and probably tipping in Rafalski’s shot, even though Dr. Murray didn’t see the change in flight path). The funniest part of the sign making and waving was the reaction of the guy standing behind Bubba in the picture. He asked us if we spoke Czech, thinking he’d found a lonsman in the Meadowlands. No such luck, but he agreed that our birthday wishes were a sign of good things to come.
