Watching it right now. BTW, Russia has a pretty good goalie too. I love amateur hockey.

Sidney Crosby: I don’t like them.
Announcer: But why?
Crosby: Because I don’t like them.

Enjoyed a rerun last night on the NHL channel of game 2 of the 1987 Cup Finals, Flyers losing to Edmonton in overtime. All the great Oiler players were on the ice and its was fun to see a couple...

Plus the name Thunder Bay is pretty hard to beat.

Don't forget Shayne Gotisbehere of the Flyers, another Florida product

There's even a Best of Don Cherry on you tube - ridiculous stuff.

Exactly. That's all I meant with my earlier post.

To me he seemed like a buffoonish curmudgeon, sort of an Archie Bunker of hockey.

Off topic but I was just thinking how much I miss Don Cherry from Hockey Night in Canada, when we get it down here. Is he on the air somewhere else or did he take a forced retirement for saying...

Its hard to imagine now in today's NHL someone winning 5 cups in a row, winning 11 cups overall and doing it as the "lesser" brother of Maurice. RIP to a true legend.

That does sound magical. I think when sports and nature intersect like that, you are left with lasting memories. I still think about surfing at dawn on Easter morning on Hatteras Island with a pod...

That looks like fun.

Tried to post this after the video clip above, but blew it!

Utterly fantastic. Wow how great that would be for a skate with your son!

Yes, pond hockey takes you back - like having a catch with your son in the front yard. Hasn't been cold enough long enough here this winter for the ponds to stay frozen.

Several years ago I took part in a "refresher" hockey course taught at our local rink for older players who had been away from the game (like me) and for new guys just learning who wanted to join a...

Cooper, that brings back memories. I had a Cooper helmet in college that stopped a shot I was trying to block, just got my head down in time for it to bounce off the top of my helmet. That hurt a...

Love that mask. The old gear and the hockey talk is making me wonder if there is an over 60 league around here? That might be a stupid idea.

That's a good look! Ouch.

Dug out the old hockey bag, found my Gretzky style Jofa helmet. Didn't help much the time a little guy caught me from behind and put my head on the ice!

I envy the guys who got to see him play. Imagine playing with your sons on the same line in the pros. One of his sons, Mark, became a great defenseman for the Flyers. His jersey was retired by the...

Former Flyer too (I will say nothing about the Penguins). An inspiration to the younger players with his work ethic.

Derek Sanderson?

Yes sir! I remember Orr breaking in as 18 or 19 year old kid. I think the early Flyers tried to emulate the Bruins. Remember the great games against the Russians? Remember when they were going to...

I was born and spent the first 30 years in Pennsylvania so I am always rooting for Pa teams, Penn State, all Philly teams (worked there for 12 years) and even if I have to, the Steelers (but never...
