I went to many of the Bruins Canadiens games.
I was a Boston fan but enjoyed watching Jaques Plante play goal for Montreal. He had way over 200 stitches in his face and started wearing a mask. This caught on, and now is the norm.

Iv'e seen games when Ken Dryden who wrote this article, was their goaltender. He was called the "octopus" as he could really cover the net with his gyrations.

Dryden later went into politics in Canada as a left winger. -Tom

There is something about the game of hockey. The ice surface for instance. How do they color the ice so that it is blue on the blue lines and red on the red lines? If you ever went to a hockey game, you would hear the skates on the ice, and hear the sound of the hockey sticks as they slap against the puck. It's really a noisy game when you think about it.

I remember when the players didn't wear helmets and I miss those days. I think the goalies should wear a mask because the puck is much more likely to hit them in the teeth at 90mph. However, remember how the players like Bobby Orr and Bobby Clarke raced down the ice with their long hair flowing. And you could actually see who they were without having to look at the numbers on their uniform and consult a roster chart.

There was a particular Bruins game I attended back in early 1973. It was a long time ago. Elton John was just starting to get popular and nobody knew yet who Jimmy Carter was except for a few people down in Georgia. Those were innocent times. Anyway, I remember that the score ended up being a 4-2 loss against the Detroit Red Wings but I don't remember who scored the goals. It was a long time ago. I do remember Red Berenson with that red bandanna.

I remember when the Whalers and Canadians played the Whalers lost in game 7. What a series...

I still hate the Bruins so I'll say Go Habs.
