Remember the first time you were at the Joe? I bet this guy in the Helm jersey does...
I know I'll never forget his first trip to the Joe and I seriously hope it's not his last. Here's to H2H3 being a reality someday.

My camera loves Drew Miller
If you don't like the fellow, you probably shouldn't tell that to my camera. The new one, much like the old camera, seems to focus much better on Drew...
than it does on other members of the team.
Guess I still need some practice with the new settings.

The real test...
Alright, Damien, today is the real test of our bargain. I'm packing up my new camera and going to the Joe for the first time this season today and I'm counting on you to make this trip an awesome one. For my part, I made a Swiss power breakfast and hot chocolate. I might be bringing my pennant of the various cantons and we're still debating the cowbell issue. Please don't be confused by my Team USA jersey, you guys play better when I wear blue and I am American as well as Swiss. So what are you going to do?

Dear Mr. Brunner
Dear Mr. Brunner,
It's Neuie again. Do you mind if I call you Damien? I trust you found the terms of our arrangement agreeable and I see you've upheld your side of the bargain. I would provide proof that I have too, but the röschti I made this morning has already been consumed. I still have one more piece of Toblerone, however, if you're interested. Since you've upheld your side of the deal so well, I may soon have to start downloading recipes, I'm running out of food I know how to make and don't want to resort to baking breads just yet.
Although it seems I am clearly jumping on the Swiss pride bandwagon, you should know I've been there for years. In fact, I have an old pennant with flags of the various Swiss cantons hanging in my room as I type this out. That, I should add, is not your doing- it's been there since I "borrowed" it from my dad at a young age. In my dresser, there is a 90s-tastic Swatch that I would strongly consider wearing if I had a battery for it. At the time my Tante Erika gave it to me, Swatch batteries did not exist in the US and there was no internet on which to order a replacement. I have an old Swiss music box in the shape of a chalet, complete with tiny rocks on the roof to hold the snow in place, sitting on my closet shelf. What I'm trying to say is, as proud as I am to be an American, I'm proud to be half Swiss too.
I realize it's still very early in your Red Wing career, but stick around and keep playing the way you are, and you may jump the line, joining #7 and #28 as the next jersey to hang in my closet. Sorry Abby.

Bribery
So it seems the whole positive behavior reinforcement thing is working with Brunner. Or he just likes being bribed with the food he ate growing up. Either way, he's playing well and we definitely have some people that need to step up like he did. So here's the deal, I made my deal with the devil for Brunner, my part is done/in progress. If you can manage to keep it clean (please, my mom and possibly my grandma read this blog), comment below and tell me which player you're going to motivate and what you'll do to achieve that. If I like your idea, and especially if it works, your player will get a tribute post. Or some pathetic attempt at photoshopping like my Where in the World is Drew Miller post from years ago. I might even see if someone I know with the proper software can make it look decent. What are you willing to (cleanly) do for your Red Wings?
