"I'm one of the only guys left who doesn't wear a face shield," said Flames left winger Milan Lucic yesterday, when I bumped into him at a swim meet.
We were there to watch granddaughter in a waterpolo practice and he was there with his wee daughter to cheer on his other daughter in her race.

You'll be happy to know that I politely refrained from asking him why the Flames suck -- because they do -- but I held off. Here is the Vancouver-born Serb Milan:
