A Provincial Digression
Last night was "Cam Neely" night at the Fleet Center. The Boston Bruins retired Cam's number 8, hoisting it to the rafters, where it now hangs alongside those of Ray Bourque, Phil Esposito, Terry O'Reilly, Milt Schmidt, Dit Clapper, Lionel Hitchman, Johnny Bucyk, Eddie Shore, and oh yeah, Bobby Orr.
Why tell you this? Two reasons:
1. Hockey is, in fact, the best metaphor for life. You have to play as a team. You have to play hard. Sometimes you need skill to win, sometimes you have to send in the goons.
2. Watching the clips of Neely's career, we realized how much we missed him.
