Here’s a two-minute doodle of a hockey card I just rediscovered. For no reason at all.
I haven’t written anything semi-long about hockey in months. So as the puck drops for the Bruins in St. Louis, here’s a quick appreciation of Morgan Geekie and how he just seems to score in every game he plays lately.
This is about a week old, but I can’t get over this goal Connor Bedard scored.
I’m not crying, you’re crying, shut up.
A few days late here, but check out the new guy Fraser Minten getting the game-winner in overtime against the Blackhawks. Another gift from the Maple Leafs…
The Bruins are retiring Zdeno Chara’s no. 33 this season. But for all the incredible things this guy did in his career, this is still the first thing I think of.
The man had his jaw shattered in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals by a puck, then he demanded they wire it shut and throw a guard over his face so he could go back out there for Game 5. And he was 41 years old at the time.
Absolutely insane. I love him.
I’m just a grown man with a mortgage and a job who still gets happy when he finds a pile of hockey cards from the 1970s.
Look at these (mostly) helmet-free maniacs.
It’s late on a Monday, and I’m sitting here waiting for it to be cold again. And waiting for hockey to come back.
