The Canadian Women's Hockey Team got a special greeting at the Bell Centre in Montreal, PQ tonight. They also did the ceremonial VIP face off. Considering the 18 year old that got both goals in the Gold Medal Game is a Quebecois , it is only fitting.
Yeah, I am a Canadiens Fan. From the Western Prairies. Go Figure. Vive le Blue, Blanc et Rouge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get Hockey Night in Canada on the NHL Network on my satellite service provider. Grew up on it. Love it still. Even Peter Puck, OK.
I wouldn't cheer for the Francs on a bet...with the POSSIBLE exception of Toronto. Flames & Oilers, with some Canucks thrown in for interest.
ReplyDeleteNot that I've watched a game in many many years, but those are prairie province teams (and I'm always a fan of the small-market, less "popular" teams).
And we don't watch enough tv to warrant getting a new set...yet.
Now I am confused. You moved to California when most of them are leaving in droves. I guess I understand the job need, but Hockey? A bunch of people skating around trying to hit a little hard plastic disk into a net and then fist fighting at the drop of a glove? Oh well, we all have our game to watch. But Hockey? MUD
ReplyDeleteMUD- I needed the job. Laid off at Hawker Beechcraft in Feb of last year. One of almost 13,000 aircraft workers in and around Wichita out of work. Civil Service Gig out here at Edwards AFB.
ReplyDeleteHockey-Grew up on it on the CBC from Lethbridge and Regina. Played it as a kid and in my mid forties.
ANY hockey is GOOD hockey. I was known to watch the peewee games on my community access channel in Royal Oak when I lived in Deetroit. It's that bad with me.
ReplyDeleteBut the Canadiens? We have to draw a line somewhere... ;-)
