You rarely see Ryan O'Byrne as someone's favorite player.

Our GW one broke all of the records set by DT Chicago. Roti is literally EXPLODING in DC. Penn Station is our next target but there's a team of real-estate guys just scouring the area.

This is true lol. He just really impressed me last year when the majority of the D corps were sorely lacking, he consistently works hard and is a team guy. He's a sweetie too. Plus the 45 sec shift when he was all "Y SO SERIOUS" after the Hall skate incident was just epic. Yeah, he's my favorite. I know a lot here rag on him sometimes, lord knows I do on my Twitter lol. But I just can't help it, Big Sexy is awesome to me (that nickname.... hahahaha).

Good choice Downtown Bethesda is one Metro stop outside DC (and I live 2 blocks from the station). Lots of businesses call Bethesda home (Lockheed Martin, for instance) as well as my employer, NIH Upper middle-class neighborhood (upper class anywhere else in the country except living expenses in DC are ridiculous). It's a great location to have a restaurant.

Hello. My name is Ceremony. I like the Avalanche, hockey, good penalty killing, Pearl Jam, redheaded women and arguing with people on the internet. I dislike lazy hockey players, bad AI in video games, people younger than me, people with a bad grasp of the English language (native speakers that is, if it's not your first language you have an excuse), bad music and my life, I suppose.
I'm a bit weary of being on a board this size (it took me about ten minutes to find the "Page 2" bit on the homepage) but I like hockey, so I think I should be alright.
