This Day In Hockey History (8/9)

Today we indeed wish a Happy Birthday to a man who turns 50 years old.  He is likely more well known for what he does off the ice than on but nonetheless he did play for 12 seasons on 5 different teams in the NHL.  Legend has it that he may have a slight soft spot for the city of Boston but that is quite understandable.  Here is the video and moment for this day, August 9th.
