day two of running with the gas treatment and all is still well in the land of sputtering geos. she seems to be really happy now that i've given her a bit of TLC. let's hope she continues this way until next week.
so, i hope you all know that hockey started last night. i sat on the futon, giddy with the knowledge that my boys are back on the ice, until i turned to TSN and discovered that the stupid network wasn't switching from the ottawa/toronto game to vancouver/phoenix in time for the face off (although, it was kind of neat to see the senators beat toronto in the shoot out).
oh. my. god. i have such a hate on for TSN. their commentators suck. they don't put the score box up enough and when they do it's too big, too low, it doesn't show the powerplays and the timer is incorrect. i'm really glad there's only a handful of games they're broadcasting this year. i actually had the tv muted and listed to the CKNW broadcast instead of suffering with the craptastic TSN commentary.
if i hadn't been eating spaghetti for dinner, i totally would have been wearing one of my jerseys while watching my team beat the pants off wayne gretzky's coyotes. i'm so completely crazy insane about hockey being back, it's ridiculous. i don't even mind the new rules, but it will take me a long time to get over the football-style penalty calling. i really hope that goes the way of the glowing puck.
YAY for our boys!!!!!! I'm excited, too!
SO not liking the football penalty calling refs. That's gotta go.
Despite Ottawa kicking Toronto's ass, I have to say that I don't like the shootouts. They've never seemed a good way to resolve games to me.
Love the 2-line passes, though :)
