Those were weird and wonderful times to be a hockey fan. Six teams, you knew everyone in the league on sight. My Dad used to forbid anyone in the house from turning on a radio when the Rangers were playing a day game on Saturday or Sunday. He wanted to watch the tape delayed game that night unspoiled.
Sports has brought me to tears twice. First when the Rangers won the Cup in 1994. And then when I walked into Madison Square Garden to see them play in 2005 after haven't been away for 35 years.
