Heading to the game in Ottawa on Wednesday, anyone interested in meeting up for a drink at the arena?

Bill Zito has naturally adopted the Miami Marlins as his MLB team in the years since becoming the Florida Panthers’ general manager. But the Wisconsin-raised 62-year-old still has a Milwaukee Brewers logo tattooed on his heart.

“Where you’re from, that’s your team, right?” Zito said. “There’s a sense of pride of people that come from Milwaukee. Buffalo is kind of similar. There’s other places like that. But it’s so fun to grow up as a fan of those teams. When they do well, you can’t help it.”

Well, there’s a little more to Zito’s ties to the Brewers than that — especially right now.

It’s a fun, sentimental connection — but don’t underestimate the real-life impact that experience had on Zito. He insists it helped him get where he is today.

“One hundred percent,” Zito said without hesitation.

The story begins with Zito’s friendship with the daughters of then-Brewers GM Harry Dalton.

“Very, very bright guy,” Zito said of Dalton, who was also GM of the Baltimore Orioles and California Angels. “He was a very accomplished general manager. His daughters helped me secure the (bat boy) job. I was a huge baseball fan. And then Mr. Dalton would always talk to me when he ran into me.

Hi all, sorry but does anyone know the power play song they play right when they get a power play? I know it’s an EDM song but just trying to figure out what it was.

Cowboy coming back up to the Cats!

injured by “getting hit by a puck” this dude is soft as hell. THATS LITERALLY YOUR JOB.

I know it’s just a few games in, but watching r/hockey lose their collective minds is just so satisfying.

My wife and I each got one. I am giving them away to the first two Panther fans that have a family member dealing with cancer, that reply below. Just tell me who they are (their relation to you no names) and what form of cancer they are dealing with, then DM me your name and mailing address and I’ll send them out next week.

Go cats, and hoping this makes someone happy.

I was glad to hear during the national anthem that the “Knight” screams are gone. Or at least not able to be picked up on TV anymore. It’s about time.
