'Tis the way of the American. *g* Meh, it's not just an American thing. I can name all the Canadian hockey teams, but I have to think really hard to name American ones, and even then I'm sure I'm only going to be getting half of them... maybe. As much as this post may say otherwise, I'm not actually a huge hockey fan. I follow the Sens only, and even then I generally only watch the games during the playoffs. *shrugs* I'm lazy.
As for the hockey politics... yeah, they can be pretty crazy. I know the Sens are going through some right now, because the people that played in the play offs weren't the normal players. Things got really mixed up and it *worked* but now they want to go back to the same old, but don't at the same time. Ya know? Personally I think it should be Emery in the goals, not Gerber.
I'm too poor for season tickets but I love going to the games. I've been to a few games, and they were fun, but to be honest (and I'm *really* showing my lack of knowledge here) I kind of prefer watching it on TV, because otherwise I miss so much, and don't always know what's going on. I like my instant replays. :P
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 Well, I can understand it a bit. Some people make a lot of long personal posts. I know that when I first started on LJ, I made a lot of posts about my pet *fish*. Seriously. That... can be a bit boring. I know *I* generally skip of sports posts, like there was this one person on my flist who used to make endless posts about soccer. I just didn't care to read it. I always *start* to read personal posts, but my flist is so long sometimes that I just end up skimming instead.
