I Feel That Perhaps I Should Write This Post Like This, but it's too hard to do, so I shan't (see here to see why).
If there is anything that is annoying living on the wrong side of the Atlantic Ocean is that I get to miss out on things like this. Oh, who am I kidding, I get to miss all things Hockey related, unless I stay up late (like now).
Now I am a slight Leafs fan (who are currently 2-1 down against the Canucks) though if you were to ask me why it's not like I could give you any one reason. But I empathise with them. I love their never-say-die attitude, especially in the playoffs. I grumble at the way referees are more likely to penalise Leaf players as to their opponents (apparently they have a "past"). I sit on the edge of my seat in the tight games. I start every season with the phrase; 'maybe this year is our year' and believe it.
While I have never gone seen a Leafs game in person I have visited the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, and I would advise anyone who is a fan (of Hockey) to make that pilgrimage. It is an amazing place, and while I felt brave enough to try my stick-handling skills I wasn't sure whether to try out my goalie skills.... gee whizz, I'll have to go again!!! (o; They also have the Stanley Cup there. Which really is big!!!
I am hoping to get over the that side of "The Pond" sometime later this year and have been promised a trip to a Cap's game, but I'm hoping to catch a Leafs game. Possibly a Leafs/Habs game though knowing my luck there won't be any scheduled..... or I won't get round to organising my trip till after the season is over!!!
n.b. while writing this I've had one message come through, if you're not sure about getting fourteen episodes to watch in one go you could always get the film 'Serenity' to watch first. It's the way I did it, though it is actually set just after the series ends...
P.S. the game is over, 6-1 Canucks..... Hockey Day sucks!!! I'm going to have a shower and then bed. pah!! d:
