Let's Roll

[Eddie_Shack]

I had no idea it was this deep, I'd seen it on the back of his helmet several times but I just figured it was a Winged Wheel/Confidence type of reference.

KuklasKorner : The Malik Report : Red Wings’ Jimmy Howard commemorates 9/11 sacrifices on his backplate

“I didn’t know anybody, fortunately, but it sort of struck home because we did have one kid from New York City, whose father did work downtown,” he said. “I remember he was a little frantic trying to get a hold of his father.”

Howard said that he remembers learning about Beamer and the “Let’s Roll” acclamation when his coaches on the U.S. Development Team recounted the story of Flight 93.

Nothing like being reminded that there are more important things than box scores while your team is down 0-2, huh?

Anything in there about a snow shower?

I know I said I love you
I know you know it's true
I've got to put the phone down
And do what we gotta do
One's standing in the aisleway
Two more at the door
We've got to get inside there
Before they kill some more

Time is running out
Let's roll
Time is running out
Let's roll

No time for indecision
We've got to make a move
I hope that we're forgiven
For what we gotta do
How this all got started
I will never understand
I hope someone can fly this thing
And get us back to land

Time is running out...

No one has the answer
But one thing is true
You've gotta turn on evil
When it's coming after you
You gotta face it down
And when it tries to hide
You gotta go in after it
And never be denied

Time is running out...

Let's roll for freedom
Let's roll for love
Goin' after Satan
On the wings of a dove
Let's roll for justice
Let's roll for truth
Let's not let our children grow up
Fearful in their youth

Just search Youtube for "Nike Goalie Commercials" if you want to see the future of Howard's sanity.
