Q: Who is the only player to captain two different teams to the Stanley Cup?
A: Mark Messier
Mess announced his retirement today.
I'll always remember Messier for a non-athletic moment. At the game to begin the 2001 season, shortly after 9/11, the family of FDNY Captain Ray Downey presented Messier with Downey's helmet. Messier put it on and skated around the ice, tears streaming down his face.
He played that way too, with his emotions in full view. Enjoy your retirement, Captain.

I've noticed that you don't often receive comments about your blog. Just wanted you to know that there's someone out in cyberspace that reads your writings regularly.
