On Hockey

I don't really have time for my usual long-winded rambles.  Instead, I offer a few random and pointless thoughts on the greatest sport in the world.  Don't worry, I'll have slightly more long-winded random and pointless thoughts on hockey to come.

This sport is amazing.  It's FAST.  It's physical.  The players are beasts (and I mean that in the best way).  They're tough as hell - Duncan Keith lost seven teeth on the ice from a puck to the face during the playoffs last year, and he finished the bloody game.  Pun intended.  Watching a puck hit the back of the net can be one of the greatest feelings in teh world.  And did I mention the game is FAST?  Fewer stops in play than most sports, and when the players on skates, things move QUICKLY.  The action is heart-stopping.  


And I love this sport, and the Blackhawks.  LOVE.  Garrett can attest that I have: frightened him with my yelling when the Hawks aren't doing well; deafened him with my yelling when they are doing well; literally choked on a scream during a tense moment; sulked over a bad game; danced with joy over a good one.  And that's just the reactions he's seen.  I love this team.


Also, THIS GUY:

Hands down, my favorite athlete since MJ.  His talent, leadership, and drive are incredible.

And tonight, he scored the game-winner in overtime.  HAWKS WIN!
