Join us to share memories…
I would but who the hell is Baderis?
Ha ha ha… Balderis was a fantastic hockey player back in the 1970s and 1980s. Pure joy to follow and watch playing! Kinda a fantastic mix of sports and arts in one package!#EverybodyLovesBalderis.

Re: Join us to share memories…
Unbelievable! But might as well be that SARCASM is not in your vocabulary. I meant your spelling of course! You fixed it on the picture but your comment still has mysterious Baderisomanis. No “L”.
OK, I am depressed now…
OK. Don’t be depressed now. As I said before, no matter how sarcastic, obnoxious and silly your comments might sound, your spell checking talent is being appreciated. I am not being “sarcastic” here. Thanks.
Lol! Very well done with that come-back! And I am being serious here. Ha ha.
By the way I KNOW very well who Balderis is. In my not so humble opinion after watching hockey since 1972 he is the most skilled player of all time..in any league or era. My cousing played against him several times in Europe at the World Hockey Cahmpionships and he says that Helmut was the most talented, fastest stickhandler he has ever seen live or on tv. He played with the Bruins and Whalers in the 70s and was the first Boston born and trained player to be drafted by The Bruins. He also mentioned Lars Gunnar Lundberg of Sweden as being just as gifted with the stick as Balderis but Lundberg wasn’t nearly as quick or as a good a skater as Helmut. I grew up in Boston. Thanks for a great blog. Balderis has been my favorite player for decades. Johnny S.
