I know this is old news, but what gets me all choked up about his 5 year $31.5 million dollar deal was the reason he decided to sign. Read below…
“Yesterday’s signing of Ryan Miller was a stroke of genius. 5 years and $31.5 million is a lot of cake. Miller is worth every penny of that deal. I spoke with Mike Liut, Miller’s agent yesterday about Ryan’s new deal. Liut told me something that has been resonating in my head since I first heard it.
“The signing of Paul Gaustad really impressed Ryan. That meant a lot to him and made his signing all the more special”.
Those that know Miller know him to be a thoughtful, emotional guy. He loves his teammates and he makes no bones about playing for a Stanley Cup with his buds that he’s played with in Rochester. Miller waxes poetic about his experiences in Rochester. Some of the best experiences of his life were shared with Goose, Roy, Vanek, Pommer, Paille, Ryan, and Paetsch. He’s a loyal soldier this Miller. When it came time to sign on the dotted line, he wanted the assurance that his guys would remain on the ice in front of him for years to come.” (from Garth @ My Hockey Buzz.com)
Now thats what you call loyalty. A man that truly loves his team, team mates, and his city. Just wish Danny Briere felt the same way.
Wow! What can you say about this restaurant. If you haven’t had a Five Guys Burger then you need to go. Drop everything you are doing and drive to one right now. Zagats is definitely right on the money! This is one of the best burgers I have ever had. When you first walk in you are hit immediately in the face with the strong aroma of burgers and fries. Your options – A regular burger (which is two patties) or a lite burger (which is one patty). You can get that plain, with cheese, and or bacon. Then you can add from a number of sides. I am a simple guys so I went for a regular bacon cheeseburger with sauteed mushrooms and ketchup. After you make your burger selection then you have your fries. Two choices – regular or large, Cajun or regular. Regular fries are a large cup dumped into a bag (which is about a large cup and a half). Its like a jumbo bag, enough for two people. Large fries are two large cups of fries dumped into a bag (which is enough fries for the entire city). If you like a little spice I suggest the Cajun fries. Have some peanuts while you wait (which are located on the tables in the restaurant). It took about 10 minutes for our food and I think that was only because we went right before a Washington Nationals game so needless to say it was packed. We ended up taking it back to my brothers, whom only lives a half a block away. Well worth the visit. Can’t wait to try Good Stuff Eatery later this week.
Today was the first day of my summer (travel) vacation. I traveled with my older brother and his wife and two kids to the nations capitol to visit our youngest brother who is a programmer (computer information systems) for the Library of Congress. Needless to say when the three of use get together it can be a very amusing. Getting lost and laughing hysterically in bumper to bumper traffic on the way to BWI Airport to pick up my brothers wife’s brother and his wife was definitely the highlight so far. (Check out the pictures a once I get home on Monday) The rest of the night was spent hanging out and drinking some beers. What will happen tomorrow, not sure, but it should be interesting.
Making some changes to The Sheep Shack. It has been a long time since I posted last, but I promise, I am going to make a better effort to become a better blogger!
