The First (And Oldest) Star

The first (and oldest) star Zoomer’s favourite hockey player, 43-year-old Mark Recchi, continues to defy his age – and his critics. With another two goals last night to lead his Boston Bruins to an 8-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, Recchi becomes the oldest player to score a goal in the Stanley Cup finals. Earlier in the series, the Kamloops, B.C.-native was hearing whispers that he might be getting too old to keep up. His response? He promptly went out and scored three goals over two games and told the critics to “kiss my ass.”
