I enjoyed this so much! I remember seeing Sanderson's hair flying in the wind as he skated across the ice. Watching their faces as they played and the lines Cheevers had painted on his face mask every place he took a puck to the face. I know they are safer with the new equipment & rules...but it's just not as exciting or as personal. I will never forget that excitement. In '69/70 my boyfriend was… more ›
