Oh yeah, I know how huge the Leafs are in Toronto. But I'll tell you the truth, I'm not very knowledgeable about Canadian hockey teams, much less other Canadian sports teams. 'Tis the way of the American. *g*
But I'm a huge hockey fan! The Avalanche are my team but I think Colorado is in for a rude awakening yet again. People love them but we've been spoiled; the team won the Cup their first year here in '96 and had been in the playoffs every year since then. Only this past year did they fail to do so and, well, people were pretty damn upset. Things haven't been as great as they used to be since Patrick Roy retired and what with Peter Forsberg leaving and the old goalie juggling. I think last year was the year that the sellout record was broken too. It's gonna be tough for us for a while.
Anyway, yes, I love talking about hockey! I can't wait for the season to start and actually, I just bought a few tickets today. I'm too poor for season tickets but I love going to the games.
re:fandom. Yep, that's true. But a whole lot of people only like to squee, which is fine, but I like personal posts because I find it hard to get to know people otherwise.
