Joe Smith at The Athletic (paywalled) talked with Eddie Pasquale’s family about his amazing night winning a game in Detroit for the Lightning.
Pasquale’s family had made the four-hour drive to Detroit from his hometown of Toronto. The group included his parents, Stephen and Jane, and fiancée Brittany, who joked that half of her home province of Newfoundland was watching.
Former Thrashers exec Rick Dudley, who drafted Pasquale in the fourth round in 2009, kept track of the game on his computer from Buffalo, where he was scouting a game for Carolina.
