Classic
Terry O’Reilly, my favorite hockey player as a kid — as if it could be anyone else for an Irish boy in New England. And that’s my favorite hockey card from my childhood, though if I recall correctly my copy was considerably more mangled than this one. Looked like it had been through a couple of heavyweight bouts with Clark Gillies.
Anyway, no chat today, but I’ve got an excuse that I’m downright thrilled about — I’ll be skating the Winter Classic Blog Boy shift over at Fenway alongside Fluto, Dupey and our usual Bruins-coverage first-liners. Getting to cover this . . . well, it sure is some kind of good way to begin the new year.
The plan is to write about the pregame scene over at our Bruins Blog, post a quick game story, and add various morsels of color and commentary in the postgame. Yes, we’ll probably even shoehorn in a “Slapshot” quote or two. So get your hot chocolate ready, turn on the telecast, fire up the laptop, and join us for the fun.
