I used to play ice hockey. My favorite sport. I stopped a few years ago because I moved to a different city. I don't watch it either. Got kind of boring to be honest. Got other things to do. I'm a Rangers fan because it's the first city I lived in when moving to the United States. Moved back to New York after school and college. YaY. My favorite all-time player is Mark Messier.

Cool my take 👍

Thank you. Ice hockey is one of my favorite sports. 😊

That's awesome I would try that but I'm wayyyyy too clumsy 😂

I've skated and I'm not too good at it. Ice hockey would be way harder, because you have to handle the puck and be fast. It's a hard game to play.

Did you realize that if the Bruins win out, they will win their 4 series in 4,5, 6 and 7 games but not in that order.

Bruins over Maple Leafs in 7
Bruins over Blue Jackets in 6
Bruins over Hurricanes in 4
Bruins over Blues in 5?

Excellent take!

Interesting to see where players start, how they develop, and where they end up. Thank you for the information and trip down memory lane!
