Welcome to Sunday Night Hockey, folks!
I’m putting this post together Saturday night, so hopefully your NFL team did OK today. If not, I’m sorry.
The photo that accompanies this post is both cool and a symbol
that time comes for us all.
On the ice, wearing a white jersey, you’ll find none other than the current Bruins head coach, Marco Sturm!
The man on his feet, responsible for knocking Sturm to the ice, is none other than the current San Jose Sharks GM, Mike Grier!
The other guy in teal, seated on his pants, is none other than Craig Rivet, noted Montreal Canadien and eventual Buffalo Sabre. I just didn’t want to leave him out.
“Eventual Buffalo Sabre” is a pretty grim diagnosis though, isn’t it?
Anyways, per Getty Images, this picture was taken on October 13, 2007, so close to two decades ago.
Grier would play three more NHL seasons after that one, while Sturm would play four for a handful of teams.
Tonight, one is behind the bench, while the other is high above the ice hoping Macklin Celebrini can generate some more magic to propel the Sharks.
Bruins! Sharks! A reasonable start time on the East Coast!
Discuss.
