Tate Thoughts (July 25)

[Tate 450]

It was a hell of a weekend for me because my son has been very sick.  Sicker than I’ve ever seen him get, which was concerning, but he’s on the mend now.  It’s a tough thing when you have a little boy who still does not quite understand what is happening and the only thing you can do is try and snuggle him to keep him calm – and yet!  My son is a cardio freak and has a never-ending motor so even when he’s nearly dying from covid he still wants to climb everything and jump off.

Things have taken a significant dip in Vancouver in terms of the win column.  I know we’ve made significant moves for the future; however, the present is barely holding on.  I am all for the rebuild and I am here for every step of it, just tough sometimes seeing how many goals I am letting in.  But I have no say in the matter, I just need to step in the net each night and provide the best support I can.  

It's looking more and more like we’re going to be getting a top pick come draft day, and I have a pretty good idea who we’re targeting.  Is it tampering for me to mention names?  I wonder about that, and rather than get in trouble I’ll leave you guessing for now.  That being said, have a look, and tell me if you know already who the answer is.  Come draft day, I doubt there will be any surprises.
