This week, we’re re-airing last year’s episode on Slap Shot in honor of Jamie’s dad Mike Loftus, who passed away over the weekend. Little new intro to accompany. You can learn more about the amazing MPL here, and donate to the American Red Cross in his honor because he was a self-professed ‘avid bleeder’ that nurses across New England declared as having ‘good veins.’ He rocked and rocks and we love him. Pour one out for the best dad ever, go Bruins.
