We interrupt this blog....

....to give you the first picture of the Minnesota Wild's first selection in the 2030 NHL draft. Calvin Jacob Westphall checked in shortly after 4 a.m. yesterday, marking the third time my daughter has delivered a nine pound-plus baby. This one was the biggest yet, a 9 lbs., 11 oz., with hands and feet you could mistake for a two-year-old's.

Third grandchild, second grandson and possible future linemate for his older brother Sam, we're grateful for another safe arrival and healthy addition to the Droogsma bloodline. Welcome, C.J., and it's time to drop the puck.
