What rugged men! They can “whack my puck” anytime!
I bet they can do magic things with those hockey sticks. I wonder how it feels to be spanked by one, very hard?

My father does not have a hockey card for he moved to america too soon….but thx for the interest!
Ah but those were the days when hockey was GOOD. Not about pretty-boy millionaires. These guys knew how to actually play the game.
Kharlamov forever !!!
