Where was this kid 2 years ago when we really needed help?
That is so awesome!!!
Make-A-Wish is such a great organization!
And kudos to the Wings for helping out with for a little kid!
Yay! A forever memory
He was a wall against a couple of good shots. Literally a wall, he did not move and all
No Hasek-style spinning handstand from the kid? Weak. Bust.
can’t wait to see this kiddo in the net for us in 20 years
This part, where McLellan basically tells everyone to go touch grass:
McLellan called the experience uplifting for the team.
“It does something for the spirit a little bit, makes you feel good and you reflect on your own situation, whether it’s family immediately or down the road or little ones or whatever it might be, and how fortunate we are,” McLellan said. “And it also makes you think about can we do more to help? We get so wrapped up in wins and losses and slumps and who’s playing well, who isn’t, that there’s probably more time for the real world and we should try to find it.”
