Dater’s Daily: Brad Marchand Is Getting Healthy Again

I am on the road in Ohio, literally between Columbus and Dayton on my way to the Air Force Museum.  My wife and I have two rules while  on a trip, I have to do something that has to do with history and I have to get a shirt of the local sports team. I will be heading to the Columbus Blue Jackets and Vancouver Canucks game tomorrow night. So that will be fun to experience a NHL game outside of Ball Arena for the second time. Dater has been out East with some family stuff, but he will be back in the building Wednesday night for the game against Winnipeg. There were no hockey games yesterday, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any news. Brad Marchand is getting healthy again, and more:
