Thursday is Hockey Night in RebelDadLand

I bring you the news that Roberto Luongo, the hottest goalie in the Western Conference of the NHL who was voted by fans to be the starting goalkeeper in the All-Start Game, will skip that contest (and the next game after that) to spend some time with his wife, who is due in April.

I know that I've been fooled before by pro athletes putting on a family-friendly face and then pretty much continuing their lives as before (I'm talking to you, Tom Brady). But I'm a sucker for hockey, so I'm giving Luongo the benefit of the doubt. (And if the East should win the game, so much the better.)
