For some, they eat, sleep breath hockey. I myself, don't go that far! I did however, grow up watching the Montreal Canadians play as early as I can remember walking. I remember being in between my big brother and father watching them scream at the television. Which, sadly enough, you may hear the occasional scream at the team or the referees coming from the living room. It doesn't matter what team you cheer for, most of us hockey fans are down right passionate about the game. I grew up quite passionate about the Montreal Canadians, so much so that I have a tattoo around my ankle : Montreal (their logo) Canadians, I have a few Habs baseball caps, candles which I with no doubt light up when where in the playoffs such as last night...(but we sadly enough lost!)
I have a Patrick Roy signed photo and few other things.
As you have noticed, I've turned into a big fan over the years. As a Habs fan, their are a few teams worth watching them play against more than others such as the Leafs and living in Ottawa, the Sens. My finance, Allen and his family are die hard Sens fans. Poor them! We have much fun joking and taunting each others love for the opposing teams.
My father watches the games religiously. I remember one time being at my grandmother's house and everyone was there. She lived in small apartment so we were all crammed in their watching the game and laughing. We didn't live to far away from her home. Some time had passed and someone noticed my father had been missing. Not long after he walked in and told us it was too loud and he couldn't hear the game. So he actually went home to watch it! Talk about commitment! Everyone laughed. To this day I remind him and make fun of him!
Hockey runs in the family. My brother, my father, my Godfather, cousins all played hockey
(not professionally but on house leagues) My mother was a hockey mom, watching all of my brothers games. Even my nephew is a remarkable little player. Look out NHL!
The Habs made the playoffs this year, just barely! I look forward to the Boston-HABS match ups. I'm still upset with them firing Guy Carboneau. He was one of my favorite players. I didn't think he was doing that bad of a job. Only time will tell if Bob Gainey made a good choice or not!
Anyhoot....More about hockey later...
If you have any stories about hockey....let me know...
Have a great weekend....
Vive les Canadiens...
GO HABS GO
