You Know You're An Avid Hockey Fan If.......

  • Your idea of serving breakfast is giving each of your kids a fork and dropping an Eggo in the middle of the table.
  • You reprimand your children with "minors," "majors" and "misconducts."
  • When you come to a traffic signal and the light turns green, you stop.
  • When you come to a traffic signal and the light turns red, you get really excited and chant, "He shoots!  He scores!"
  • I nstead of duct tape, you use hockey tape to fix everything.
  • You call a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame a "pilgrimage."
  • You went into a bank because it advertised "Free Checking"....and walked out disappointed.
  • You can pronounce anything in French, yet you have no idea what it means.
  • Every time you hear a siren you wonder who scored.
  • You're not allowed to play chess simply because the first time you played, you misunderstood the meaning of the word "Check."
  • Everything in your wardrobe is your team's colors.
  • Your closet is divided into 2 sections:  HOME and AWAY
  • You make biscuits in dimensions of 3" by 1."
  • You burn the biscuits black.
  • You play a game with one of the biscuits.
  • You deck the guy who says, "Check, please."
  • You own a Zamboni.
  • You keep your Zamboni in the garage while your main car stays in the driveway.
  • Your calendar only runs from October to June.
  • You wonder how you will get through July, August, and September.
  • When someone says, "two minutes" you respond, "What for!?!"

Wild beat the Hawks.   I thought it would be a messy game one way or the other.  Turned out to be a pretty good game.   Looked like the wings-Hawks game a few days ago.   Wild had 3rd game in 4 days and Hawks had the overall edge in play but Wild hung on to the two points like the Hawks did to the wings last weekend.   

Hawks have to get 6pts on this road trip this 6 game trip to keep things loose.    Big players and Crawford look pretty good.   Hawks special teams are better than last year, I'm almost convinced completely.    They are shooting quicker and killing penalties more aggressively, less of the collapsing b.s.    Vancouver on Friday.     

Watched most of the Wild games this year.  Fletcher needs a little more improvement on the bottom pair and bottom 6 and he should secure a playoff spot even with the inevitable injuries.    Spurgeon only significant injury right now for them, good opportunity for Yeo to rack up some pts with everybody else a little more banged up.

well done, my son is well aware of what the penalty box means. he broke my TV remote and I told the wife hes getting a 10 minute misconduct, 2 minutes for instigating me and a match penalty. I think to this point in a shortened season he can give Konopka a run for his money as far as PIMs go
