“Hey Dater!”
The voice at the other end of the cell line is instantly recognizable. It’s Cody McLeod, The Highlander himself, No. 55 on your score sheet, No. 1 in your hearts. In three days, McLeod will be in Pittsburgh playing in the Stanley Cup Finals for the Nashville Predators, so there are probably more important things on his agenda at the moment than returning a Denver reporter’s phone call on a Friday afternoon.
The fact that McLeod took the time to make the call in the midst of probably the busiest time of his life says it all about the man.
