Happy 28th birthday to Avalanche goaltender Peter Budaj. Not sure about the rest of the crew...but I still believe.

[Derek here: Happy birthday Peter! I still believe as well!]

[Mike here: Happy birthday Boots! I never stopped believing!]

I believe too…that you are a very capable back-up goaltender.

This is the one reason I don’t like hockey. Every time I hear the ages of most of these guys, I start feeling ancient

Help help! I'm being repressed!

Budaj is one of the oldest on the team

Still a decade away from being eligible for your Wings fantasy team.

Now we have nothing to bitch about!

Happy B Day Boods!

I believe you’re a very capable back up goal tender that shows flashes of brilliance in the imminent failure of others (cough Theodore). You’re there for us when we need you most and that sir, is commendable.

Happy Birthday Boods! Many more!

Guys like you make me love hockey – especially as a father. Gives me something to show my boys.

Work you butt off every day, all day. If you don’t get your shot right away, keep working and pull with the rest of the team. You, Peter, personify this and for that, I thank you.

Happy Birthday Budaj!

I believe! As has been said, you’ve been given some shitty situations, but you have shown your character to be one of the best in the face of it all.

This reminds me that hiring a “goaltender consultant”, even on a part time basis, was an example of Enos splurging.

Happy birthday, Coach!

There's a place out west where the Powder River rolls off the Bighorn Mountains. It's a land of red walls, blue sky, and clean air, where the eagle glides high above the canyons and makes its nest in the rocks that overlook the valleys where the sagebrush and cottonwoods grow. This is ranch country - has been for more than a hundred years.

Well things have changed some since the early days, but there's still a thread of character and tradition that runs true from one generation to the next. You can see it in the way folks out here set a horse; you can hear it in the way they talk. And when the work's all done, there's nothing they like better than to get together at the one room schoolhouse under the red wall for another down home, homegrown, Western Saturday night.
