>>>>>Last night I took my kids (who are really grown up girls) to their first Bruins game. The bad news is that Bruins lost (it is ok, this is not their year).

>>>>>Another "bad" news is that I got hit in my arm by a stray puck (good shot by a Bruin). And I got to keep the puck (the attached picture is to prove it) :)

>>>Interesting is that the puck is made in Canada. That was surprising; I thought everything is made in China :) (and I agree that Bruins are not at the top of the game this year).

>>I imagined hockey pucks being made in Chine (the usual cheap plastic stuff) :). Every shot would be shattering the puck to small pieces. They would have to start making hockey sticks in China too; to match them to the plastic pucks :)
