Jeff Marek of Sportsnet is always going on about how sports are never better than when you’re 12. And I agree.
That said, Hockey (at least for me) was never better than in 2012, when I was absolutely not 12 years old.
The Capitals went into Boston with their third string goalie and won with an OT G7 goal. We had that insane Philly v Pittsburgh series that had everything from line brawls to blow outs and even Phoenix went on a run and knocked off the Hawks and Predators, it was so much fun.
So, when did Hockey peak for you?
05-07 Sabres. Its all been downhill since :(
It’s crazy to me that two guys from those teams are now GMs (three, I think, if you include Grier). Absolutely fucking insane…
