Pretty confident Cale plays on Colorado... so who cares.

...and he had one of his patented high speed solo dashes for a goal a few days ago.

So, how many of you owned the flying Bobby Orr poster?

Still have a framed 24 × 36 of that right next to a framed 24 ×36 pic of the 2010 Fenway Winter Classic game with the B's/Flyers just before puck drop on my tv room wall. Has to be one of the most famous sports photos in history

Makar skating with the top Colorado line is not fair. He has fit right in on this team, really fun to watch.

After a brutal turnover (although one ESPN analyst faulted the goalie for leaving him a rolling puck behind the net) led to a Dallas goal in the game four loss, Makar has played solidly in the two elimination games since, including the game winner in last night's game and the series heads to game 7. Replacement goalie (Hutchinson) has been the difference in the last two games.

Chris Peters @chrismpeters ·32m
Cale Makar is only the second player to win both the Hobey Baker Award and Calder Trophy. Chris Drury is the other. Decent.

I'd say that's pretty pretty good.

Good little story about Cale's possible next contract on Mile High Sports. Kid should really make some big coin. Great for him and his family. Love seeing it
