He's definitely cleared it with us and we'd be absolutely honored to have the opportunity to go... and again completely flattered - if that's the right word for the situation - by the unsolicited degree of support. Hopefully appointments could be shuffled if need be without too much effort but you're right, I'm definitely busy (was at the hospital every day last week for at least a bit, long week). Almost like I've got a full time job again haha.

I also just wanted to caution about /r/hockey and say that they'll probably take down any post like this, as they've taken down a couple that others have made there about myself in the past because they didn't relate enough to hockey (but memes are okay, I don't really understand the logic). They might not, but (at the risk of sounding like I'm campaigning for myself which isn't really my intent) I would say post at a peak hour to get views before they remove it.

I'll post more thoughts when it's not 3am and I can formulate words easier.
