No NHL hockey games

@HikingMan Used to be my fave team back in the days of Esposito (local boy) and Bobby Orr

@HikingMan i remember my dad telling me he went to games here in vancouver in the early 70s and watching bobby orr.... ticket were $2.50. oh man where have those times gone? 😩

@beermeplease

I got to meet him a few years ago. Great guy on and off the ice.

@LunarOrbit awesome...i heard he was a great guy. he always was a class act

@beermeplease Yeah. Lived up to being my childhood hero. :)

@LunarOrbit I've met in person both of them. Orr and Esposito. Orr actually held my hotdog so I could tie my sneaker when I was 11. My dad nearly died when he turned around and saw me asking Orr if he could hold my hotdog. I had no idea who he was when I asked him. But I knew his number 4.I remember hugging his leg like a weirdo dog when I found out it was really him. As I look back on it..., I was such a dork.... Poor guy must have been thinking, "Is this kid gonna hump my leg?"

But yeah.
Born and raised 40 minutes NW of Boston and hockey is my sport, and the Bruins are my team.

@HikingMan Hahaha. Thats funny!

Same thing happened with my oldest. Orr in town to do a safety in hockey thing and had a bunch of kids on the ice with him. My oldest (never played hockey) tagged along and was in the hallway when Orr jokingly knocked his New Jersey hat off (a few times). When we got home, I pointed out how famous Orr was back in the day. Luckily he got his personal autograph and has it on his wall to this day.
