Year round when people ask me what sports I like (and it happens more often than you might expect) I always answer that I like playoff hockey. Regulation hockey bores the snot out of me. But playoff hockey is fun and exciting. I love being out in pubs along with other fans (bandwagon or otherwise) and cheering when we get a goal and booing when the other team does. I even watched Tuesdays game all alone in my apartment cheering and hissing through the third period. When we won, I cheered so loud that Cooper jumped off his chair and ran away. I hit mute on my tv so that I could hear all the other cheering fans in my neighbourhood, celebrating and all I heard was the sweet chirp of a chickadee.
That's why I am going out to watch the game tonight. We are up 3/1 so tonight's a good night to be out watching just in case we win it all.
remember that time we were watching playoff hockey in 1994 (i think) and you said to the screen "oh quit pussy-footing around!"
ReplyDeleteI do! But it was more like 1984 than 94. And you and LT teased me endlessly about it...still do, I see.
