Never work with kids, dogs or Martin St. Louis

Marty and BrendanTalk about being upstaged.  On Saturday, the Lightning folks invited me, along with news anchors from the other Bay Area stations  to the St. Pete Times Forum for the unveiling of their new logo and jersey. We were each paired up with a current or former Lightning player to walk to the stage through a gauntlet of crazed, camera snapping hockey fans.  I drew the long straw with a short player, Martin St. Louis. I had no idea this guy was so revered. It was all I could do to stay out of the way of people trying to take his picture and snap up a few leftover high-fives that St. Louis missed.  I should look into this hockey thing.

Give hockey a chance. It's the only game where I'm from.
Some people are turned off by what they see as violence.
It's a lot tamer than pre-tv days.
But it's also the only pro sport left where the team members all line up to shake hands after Play Off finals.

Hockey is the coolest sport, man.  I would be happy to switch places with you just to get near the adorable awesome St. Marty.  Revered indeed - Marty is da man!  Hockey Bay rocks!  Bring da cup back to Tampa, baby!
