Actually, as a birthday gift to my daughter @jamieloftusHELP, I agreed to emerge from my lair to help with this very special episode. Been awhile since we recorded, but I stand by every word I mumbled, and was happy to have my honorarium donated to a youth hockey program.
NEW EPISODE ALERT! In honor of Jamie’s birthday, we invited her dad to cover the episode he’s been asking about once a year for all seven years of the show! Mike Loftus, hockey writer extraordinaire, joins @caitlindurante and @jamieloftusHELP to discuss SLAP SHOT!
Flea's mother, @jamieloftusHELP, is psyched to be hanging with me while his mother travels around the country, promoting her book (pictured) and just generally mouthing off about hot dogs and other such stuff.
I like to think that wherever he is, Meat is giving this a listen ...
Many thanks to @conroyherald & @MLoftus_Ledger for joining on the podcast. Great insight as always. Like the late, great Meatloaf once sang two out of three ain’t bad. open.spotify.com/episode/0sq…

Well, look at this ... Publisher wisely opened pre-sales to coincide with the start of the NHL season, no? No?
Respect for my personal kid, @jamieloftusHELP (who makes, um, suggestions about the best way to order)!
i wrote a book about hot dogs
they somehow let me call it RAW DOG
i think the executives don’t know what that means
it comes out 5/9/2023 and pre orders are absurdly helpful
will u accept this rose 🌭💋

Coincidentally, I'm currently going through piles and piles of old issues. I'm on a first-name basis with the folks at the recycling center.

Pretty wise move on your part, @jamieloftusHELP: Made sure to cover one of the few things your Dad didn't cover, lest someone should suffer in comparison.
in the grand tradition of loftuses as local sports writers, i covered a salad eating contest between @OmgItzRaina and a rabbit for the @latimes 🐇🥗 your move, dad
A little light reading from the Jamie Of All Trades ...

Not sure if it was because of previous shifts, keeping lines together or what-have-you, but #NHLBruins looked like they were using 3rd line (DeBrusk-Haula-Foligno plus Smith as 4th F) as No. 2 PP (so no Coyle). Also, Reilly (not Grzelcyk) at point on 2nd-pd PP.

All 4 brand-new #NHLBruins in the lineup (Fs Foligno, Haula, Nosek; D Forbort) are in PK rotation.

More than half of #NHLBruins' 17 first-period shots came from D-men, Carlo (3), McAvoy (3), Clifton (2) and Reilly (1) combined for 9 on goal. #datapalooza
