Last month, paul faced dialysis after his previous kidney transplant began failing. His sisterinlaw Angie Oreilly wasnt a match for him but she matched a woman in l. A. So she continued this chain of love by donating her kidney so paul could receive one, too. It was kind of a no brainer. Never would have been able to get this kidney. How do you repay Something Like that . Alison pretty incredible. 100,000 people though nationwide are currently waiting for a kidney transplant. Its a process that can take years. But paired Exchange Programs like this can speed up the process drastically. Living donor kidney transplants will last twice as long so it is just a winwin across the board. Leon absolutely.

You know the battle and the instant grudges the first time you step on the ice against the opposing player. Tim Alex Ovechkin is playing the most complete hockey of his career. How much credit goes to the new head coach . Zero. Zero. It comes from the players. I did not block the shot. I have not made a save and not scored a goal in this league. Players do it. Tim conventional wisdom says playoff results all rival the goalie who in this case begs to differ. As a goaltender you know it doesnt really make sense in order for me to be successful, i need the guys on the ice to do their job and in order for them to be successful they need me to do my job. In the playoffs thats the beauty of what we believe as hockey players is the only way to win is with a complete team. Tim theres no question about it and for the caps to succeed, it has been a total team effort. Barry saying he has zero to do with their success. Hes putting them in the places to be successful. Alison sure. Tim he puts the game plan in and let it go. Leon the clock is ticking. Tim i hear it. Come on now. Hasnt even started yet. Countdown to the first faceoff. Leon weve been here before.
