I wish the hockey strike or lock-out or whatever it was was still on.
If you're a fan of hockey, go play. Going out with my friends when a hockey game is on is intolerable. I think it's rude to focus on a game on TV when you're at a social event. If you want to watch hockey go to the dome or stay home.
When people go out to watch a game as the social event, that's different, however. Like if you invited me to watch the Flames game at a bar, I would be an idiot to get mad that you actually wanted to watch the game. I just hate when it's a random beer or wing night and some inconsequential game is on like Mighty Ducks versus Penguins (I can't believe grown men cheer for teams with either of those names, BTW) and half the table is staring at the TV like giant dopes.
Also, I get annoyed by sports fans in general. I find the cheering for a goal jarring and kind of stupid. I've tried to like it, but I just can't care.
Also, I had a blast during the cup run and loved the red mile and watched every game 10 years ago (or whenever it was) so if we make it far I'll be on the band wagon and loving it.
