Old Time Hockey


One of the most famous hockey photos of all time. In game seven of the first round in the 1952 playoffs, Montreal's Maurice "The Rocket" Richard was KO'd, only to return and score the winning goal in overtime against beat up Bruins goaltender "Sugar" Jim Henry. Look at the two of them, black eyed and bloodied, fierce rivals who just fought a seven game war on ice, yet still shaking hands. That photo speaks volumes. I think any big ego athlete today needs to look at that to see why people play sports.
