My First Road Game

My First Road Game Old hockey bums fall into two and only two categories; there are the has-beens and the never-wassers. I am a card carrying member of the latter category. However, I make it a matter of principle to never miss an opportunity to remind sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, and anyone else unfortunate enough to caught within earshot, that I really should have been a has-been had it not been for a tragic career ending injury. This dissertation usually climaxes with a statement borrowed from Reader's Digest, “And the older I get, the better I used to be.”
