TAMPA, Fla. — His dad and brother were around somewhere, and Brian Boyle would eventually catch up to them. But at this moment, the whole family was doing what they could to enjoy the moment. And Boyle was almost astonished at his surroundings.
“It really is a pinch-me moment,” said Boyle, the NHL All-Star. “I can’t believe this is my life.”
It had been a long, bumpy road for Boyle to get to this point, where he was playing for the Metropolitan Division team at Amalie Arena on Sunday.
