Opportunity knocked

For the past few years, I've had this Atlanta Flames puck kicking around in a plastic bin. I'd see it every so often, but, for the most part, I'd forget about it. Sooner or later, the right opportunity would come along.

Earlier this month, with the Philadelphia Flyers down here in Hockey Bay, I recognized Bill Clement, a former NHL player turned analyst with the team. At the time, I had him sign a Flyers puck.

Last week, the Flyers were back in town. This time, I remembered the Flames puck, because I knew that Clement played for the Flames early in his career. It was no surprise, either, that he did, too.

"I think I scored a few goals for them," he told me.
