Great McKenzie story on Christmas eve

[strive_for_five_guy]

And to pay it forward, he’s going to send Robert Kraft some wet rub BBQ 😎

This is so on brand for Buffalo. Love this, reminder that not all players have families they can be with at the holidays. 

I’m making pierogis and kielbasa/sauerkraut for New Years, pretty excited

I have 4 dozen frozen pierogis I can send him.

But did he get to break off a piece of Oplatek and share his wishes for their new year?

 

It’s nice they gave him a place to eat and be merry.

Seafood casserole the night before a game?!  Man's got stones of solid steel, held up by 1/2" aircraft cable! 😳

    Close to bringing a tear to my eye.

This team has the “ Family feel” we have craved for so long.

    I just picked up some pierogi at the Sloan market before we came back.

    I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow.

Called in Polish, Wigilia:

 

http://www.polishamericancenter.org/Wigilia.htm

Traditionally meatless:

 

"...The Wigilia is a meatless meal, no doubt the result of a long-time Church mandate that a strict fast and abstinence be observed on this day before Christmas. Although the Church laws have been revised and permit meat to be eaten on this day, the traditional meal remains meatless. Items that would normally be included in a traditional Wigilia menu include mushroom soup, boiled potatoes (kartofle), pickled herring (sledzie), fried fish, pierogi, beans and sauerkraut (groch i kapusta), a dried fruit compote, babka, platek, assorted pastries, nuts and candies. ..."

On Wigilia... Christmas Eve...

 

That's where Grandma would take Wigilia (V-Gee-Lee) up a notch and say: "How ever you act on Wigilia (through Christmas Eve Day) is how you are gonna act all coming year!" 😆 Isaiah McKenzie is gonna do well! 😆

Two nights - Christmas was Sat, this was Christmas eve.  But when he laid out to catch that ball and went face first into the turf, I agree with you.  Mind you, they must be small solid steel stones or the lil' guy couldn't run like he does with them.

I think normally, the players without family would get together on a holiday at a veteran's or position coach's house

But I think the "enhanced protocol" rules are that no more than 3 players can get together outside the facility

(I'm not sure, and of course the protocols keep changing)
