Bobby Ryan pokes fun at 2014 Sochi snub with baby on the way
Bobby Ryan's wife is on the verge of giving birth, and he appears to be having fun with it.
The Ottawa Senators forward has been sharing updates since Sunday morning.

Walk for 40, lay down 20, walk 40, lay down 20. This is the real training camp.

Thanks for all the kind words. She isn't here yet though! Just testing daddy's patience bright and early!

About 12 hours later, Ryan was ready to have a cry in the shower.
Baby watch is going to last well into tomorrow I'm told. And I'm also thinking about A/C, bed, and possibly crying in the shower. So tired!

Later on Sunday night, it appeared as though he was asked to leave the hospital to get some sleep, but he had the perfect analogy for the situation.
I got cut like Sochi 2014. Sent to recover at the hotel till 5am. Headed back to get the party started then! #itsforthekid

Ryan was infamously snubbed from the U.S. Olympic team for the Sochi Games in 2014, and when Brian Burke said Ryan "can't spell intense", the winger fired back by calling Burke's comments "gutless".
It's good to see Ryan is able to joke about it now.
