Man, that was an exciting time. Watching Bobby Hull play against Gordy Howe was almost a fan's fantasy.

As I stated earlier, I love hockey live and up close too!

While it might not be Hull vs Howe, or even Gretzky vs Lemieux (yet), here in DC we have "The Great 8" Alex Ovechkin vs Sid "The Kid" Crosby - which ain't bad!

PS - besides, in DC, it's all we've got!
