Rangers: Dom Moore

When I was a little kid, there was this unbelievably popular book, that was made into an unbelievably popular movie, called "Love Story" (it had an unbelievably popular theme song, too).  The bare bones of it - and there wasn't much more than bare bones - was  that this Harvard hockey player fell in love with this girl and they go through all this stuff, and then she dies.  Brutal stuff.   That was a fictitious.  But it's also Dom Moore's real life.  Dom was a hockey player at Harvard when he met the love of his life and his future wife Katie and they were together from their late teens to their early 30s.

Dom left the Sharks' playoff run in 2012  when Katie got sick.  She tragically passed in January of `13, and Dom took the year off from hockey.

He's been back with his original team this year, and if we had to pick one player to score the winning goal to ice the finals last night, I think we all would have chosen Dom Moore.   It was great seeing him in the Broadway hat.

I never thought of that reference. Yeah, that book was huge, and ridiculously moving (some critics called it a tear jerker). Moore's story is truly poigant, and all too real.
