Go Canada!

The Hockey Night In Canada theme always makes me happy. However, tonight the happiness is tinged by sadness at the thought that this could be the last time we hear it this season.

I love these All Star/World Cup-type games; they're so much fun to watch.

Of course, Canada must win, but am I a bad hockey fan if I admit that I've always thought Teemu Selanne was incredibly hot?

And that I'm thrilled to see Jari Kurri behind the bench?

And that I've tried to switch my allegiance to the Senators now that I live in Ottawa, but I just can't? Maple Leafs all the way baby!



Sakic scores for Canada in the first minute!

Oops, now it's 1-1.

This is going to be awesome!

The guy sitting behind me in my communications class tonight listened to the radio the whole time and announced the current score every ten minutes. And then left halfway through class to go to the sports bar down the road because he couldn't take it anymore.

I don't really care about hockey. Am bad Canadian.

In spite of my hockey apathy it is clear to me that Canada won, as many loud bozos good Canadians are currently driving up and down Somerset Street shouting "woohoo!" and honking horns and waving flags.

I live near Elgin and Somerset. There is one guy with a musical horn who has been driving me nuts all week.

I got into hockey purely through self defense. Everyone in my family and in my town is a huge fan. I've been exposed to it since birth. So I decided to go for the gusto.
