An image forms: Years pass and Cups are won or lost and retirement dinners are held. A station wagon appears at the Cove. A gray-haired guy steps but, ties on some skates, carries a stick onto the ice and takes control of the puck. Skates through everyone. Dangling. Kids run at him. More kids run at him. No one can take the puck away. How does he do that? Who is this guy?

"That's me," Janney says. "I'll be Mr. Mullowney."

Better than Cam Neely.
