It's funny how crazy we are about hockey.
Al McInnis, was asked about Canada's love of hockey at the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. Paraphrased he said, In the U.S., you have football fans, baseball fans, basketball fans, etc. Most of the rest of the world loves soccer. In Canada we have hockey.
Hehe I must be Canadian then because that is how I feel. eh?
Sure we have the other sports also, but most Canadians enjoy hockey and grow up playing it. My 3 year old daughter is even starting to show some interest in it. I'm going to encourage her to play if she wants.
Since I chose my name to be IndyRacer27, you would think I'm really into car racing, specifically
Indy Racing, but really, I watch racing in the summer because there's no NHL. There's still hockey to watch but not the NHL.
If the Flames meet the Sharks in the playoffs, I might end up coming down for a game ( I did mention that I'm a bit of a fan right).
Don't worry, I won't be trying to get you to hook me up with playoff tickets, but I'll let you know if I'll be able to make it down.
No issues, but if you do make it down, I have a line on several seats for the playoffs, right next to mine.
A friend of mine is a huge Oiler's fan and in 2006 when the Oiler's went to the finals, he was at game 5 in Edmonton, got drunk and woke up in Carolina. So he went to game 6 also. He wouldn't tell anybody what he paid to watch those 2 games ( including the airfare, hotels, etc), but I still get a chuckle out it.
Hehe, that is classic!
As far as Campbell's goal, that was awesome. It's going to make high light reels for a while, and I think that's one of the top 10 goals of the year so far. Oh, and Kipper got a shutout last night.
