I live in the UK now and the NHL couldn’t possibly be talked about less even if I lived on Tatooine. Yet I still rabidly follow the Flames, to the extent that I would listen to American Armed Forces radio in the small hour of the night, just to get reports of scores. I subscribed to the International Herald Tribune (as a 16 yr old in Ireland) because it had scores, league standings and short game reports - they also had the CFL standings.
While my love for the Flames has never faded, my faith in the NHL has eroded significantly over the years. The only plus side from last night is that before then, I was getting a little concerned that my hatred of the Leafs was becoming muted. The look on Keefe’s face last night sorted that little problem out.
