In My Mind...

The other day I was sitting in the mechanics garage getting the Gunnette’s car repaired.  It needed new brake cylinders so I had plenty of time to kill before the car would be done.  What to do?  I had already read the magazine I had brought with me, the latest edition of When Saturday Comes, so I had to figure out something to occupy my time.  My mind began to wonder and for some reason I pulled out my writing pad and began scribbling away.  What followed was a list.  I have no idea what prompted this list other than the fact that the Pittsburgh Penguins were on their way to the Stanley Cup Finals once more.  I suppose that this list was just a bunch of stuff rattling around in my skull on why I do enjoy hockey.  Some of things are well known to even the casual fan, whilst others are a bit on the obscure side, even if you are a Penguins follower from Pittsburgh.  

This list represents nothing more than a love of the sport so I figured I would share it with the AGM faithful.  So read it, laugh at my absurdness or just toss it away either way here is my hockey list.
