    This is why Hockey is the best sport in the world. Where else are you gonna see a great story like this. Another hockey story that I'm sure will be told for years to come.

    At 3:55 "Who plays you in the movie?" If he were still with us, it would definitely be Seymour Philip Hoffman. He reminds me so much of Philip. RIP my brother

    Any interviews with Brindamour? Great story. Can't imagine what it's like for this guy. Someone commented elsewhere, "he'll never have to buy another beer, ever!"
