In 1972 The Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup against the New York Rangers. I was 7 and I’m pretty sure my brother Mark and I were playing hockey at that time. Bobby Ore was my favorite player and since that time I always remember the Bruins as being my favorite team. They never won another Stanley Cup after that. Until now that is. Congratulations to the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions, the Boston Bruins who took down the Vancouver Canucks in a very unlikely Game 7 away from home 4-0. And another huge congrats to Mark Recchi, who played his final game last night and retired at the age of 43 from Pro Hockey. He scored 5 goals in the playoffs and is a big inspiration to me. GO BRUINS!!!

Interesting bit of trivia – The oldest professional hockey player of all time was Gordie Howe who retired at age 52.
