Mine

The final open house at the Coli featured reigning AHL Coach of the Year turned coach of my boys in orange and blue, Scott Gordon, and one of said boys, Frans Nielsen.

Frans has a one way contract this year so eventually I'll be a nervous wreck around him but for now...

...we're buds.

It's my duty as an Isles fan to put undue pressure on him so...

Dear Frans,

I love you. Now score 20 goals.

XOXO,

Shoogah

I asked Coach Scott to be good to my boys. He smacked his hand on the table and said, "Men." I'm not just a hockey fan. I'm a woman. A woman with motherly instincts. They are my boys even if they are men.

Dear Coach Scott,

You are one of my boys now, too. Deal with it.

XOXO,

Shoogah
