Sorry. I know no one else really cares but me. I'll post to myself. lol. It's his birthday today, Jan 29. He's 40. Too old to play in the 'new nhl', so the Tampa Bay Lightning say. I say, bite it! Happy Birthday Burkie!! Here's to my Burkie. A great goalie. Drafted by The New Jersey Devils. Played for 8 different NHL franchises. Two-time NHL All-Star. Gold Medalist. Veteran. Leader. #1 guy, always in my eyes. Champion. Friend. Support system. Lifted me up when I felt the world might crumble beneath my own feet. Tolerated me in my crazy ways, understanding and accepting of all that I am. A father. A husband. A charitable soul. A man who cares. About people. My Hero. Now and forever. In my skin. Because I choose.

Anyhow, I get home, and my mom got a cake with Happy Birthday Sean on it! AWWWW! I took a picture to show him. haha. *dork*

I love this one. The top left card. I actually have that. It makes me giggle, and it's appropriate, seeing as this IS a Canes board.

Happy Belated Birthday Burkie! I really liked Sean when he was with the Flyers. He and Robert Esche are best friends aren't they? Wasn't he Esche's best man at his wedding? I was happy to see that the Kings picked him up. I was thinking of you anything4jg.

I've seen a picture or two from the wedding, it was very sweet. Thanks for the comment hockeyfreak!

"Chico" actually came from a misprint on Esche's sticks. Instead of "R. Esche" like they were supposed to say, they said "Resch". Glenn "Chico" Resch was another goalie who played quite well for the Devils and the Flyers, and I think Esche came in about a little after the end of Glenn's career, so naturally, they teased him and called him "Chico". But it stuck. =D
