When did Hockey peak for you? (self.hockey)

Jeff Marek of Sportsnet is always going on about how sports are never better than when you're 12. And I agree.

That said, Hockey (at least for me) was never better than in 2012, when I was absolutely not 12 years old.

The Capitals went into Boston with their third string goalie and won with an OT G7 goal. We had that insane Philly v Pittsburgh series that had everything from line brawls to blow outs and even Phoenix went on a run and knocked off the Hawks and Predators, it was so much fun.

So, when did Hockey peak for you?

Growing up outside of the Twin Cities it would be the 1991 Stanley Cup finals. Everyone had North Star fever, even those in rural Wisconsin who hated the Twins & The Vikings. Hockey hit an all time low when only two years later #FuckNormGreen moved the North Stars south.
