come on people!

Will no one talk hockey with me?

NO ONE?

What the hell does a girl have to do around here?

Fine. Keep quiet. See if I care.

I watched a classic Bruins game last night, from 1990, when they played the Hartford Whalers in a semi-finals (by the way, the Whalers had the coolest logo and jerseys ever). I enjoyed it so thoroughly that I am thrown for a loop about all the changes in the league lately. I get what they’re trying to do, but they’re going about it all wrong.

It’s like a prized animal who’s run away from the farm, so we leave the barn door open in hopes of his return, but in the meantime all the rest of the damn animals are getting out.

For real.

    I wish I could talk about hockey.. I wish I could.
    I got a T-Shirt signed in person by Rashied Davis #81 of the Chicago Bears!! It happened at an open house at my new XSPORT fitness club!!

    More Canadian friends is what you need if you want to talk hockey. And yes, the Whalers had a great jersey … much nicer than those yellow Teddy Bear Bruins 3rd jerseys!

    I don’t think you want me to talk about hockey, i have no idea about anything doing with hockey, except it is played on ice, with sticks and a puck… that is about it.

    So, i would be no fun to you at all. But, I am getting very excited that you will be here soon! YAHHHHHH!

    hey christa, there is a canadian in my class, and he’s semi-cute – very odd, but canadian nonetheless. he’s obsessed with marxism . should i let him know you’re looking for a few good canadians?

    No worries, Marianne. “Canada Dan” is in heavy rotation on my playlist as well. And even Canada Dan himself loves the song!

    Yes__X__

    No______

    As a Canadian, I have this incredible desire to be loved by Americans: I have no choice but to say “yes”.

    Yes! I have a new friend, and a canadian no less.

    Now just tell me you’re not a Habs fan and we’re golden.

    But college hockey is sooo much better than the pro-game. And you are in the center of the college hockey universe.. Hockey East Schools abound and the Beanpot for the love of God.
