  6. “The puck moves from stick to stick and team to team. More than six times a minute, more than 120 times a period, it changes possession. Physically contested all over the ice, the game is in constant transition. Patterns disrupt and break apart, moods skip, unsettled in one, on to the next, spiraling higher. Three quick strides, coast and turn, and turn again, and stop; three more quick strides, a pass, checked, and three quick strides the other way. Fragments, hundreds of them, each looking the same, some going somewhere, most not, and as a player or fan you can never be sure which it will be.” - Ken Dryden, The Game
