commentary...

this weekend has been very strange for me... i started this weekend a little depressed because of the tough times that the teams that i root for are going through,but honestly,i ended this weekend with a smile,because i remember all the good times of my life... tough times do pass,but tough people endure,and i truly know,and have known my share of them,no doubt... i remember what hockey is:a simple and beautiful game of a kid shooting a puck into an empty net,and skating on a clear sheet of ice,day after day,preparing for the game every day,growing up,and then rising to heights in junior hockey,minor league hockey,and the various pro leagues around the world,and yet,it started a long time ago,with a kid shooting a puck,and just skating a clear sheet of ice... that is real true hockey...
