(CNN) — The dramatic ocean saga that led to three men being rescued this week from a sinking inflatable catamaran off the Australian coast has been pinned on an unusual culprit: a small, cigar-shaped shark that leaves such perfectly round wounds it’s called the cookiecutter.The sailors, two Russians and one French national, were pulled from the sea on Wednesday on their way to the northeastern Australian city of Cairns from the remote Pacific nation Vanuatu, authorities said.In an Instagram post after the rescue, the group said the attacks were by cookiecutter sharks, which damaged the rear left balloon of the boat on Monday and left it “completely submerged underwater.” The group lasted another day – until the cookiecutters attacked again late Tuesday, this time biting through the right balloon.The attacks left their inflatable boat partly sunken – prompting them to issue a distress call to nearby vessels in the early hours of Wednesday.

Back then, he was just a teenager who was hoping to have a decent training camp before being sent back to his Vancouver Giants junior team. But he never got that dreaded knock on the hotel room door, and he stayed with the Bruins for the next eight years, winning a Stanley Cup along the way while helping rebuild a winning tradition.This time – after stops in Los Angeles, Edmonton and Calgary – he returns as a 35-year-old veteran of 1,173 NHL games. He may not be the same player who once rode shotgun with David Krejci on...
