Hockey

Hi,

So I know this is a real estate blog but I just wanted to comment on the USA vs. Canada Hockey game last night.

Let's start by putting me in the category of "passive hockey fan." I really enjoy following my local San Jose Sharks. I catch a few of their regular season BIG games and I make sure to catch every minute of playoff hockey. I definitely have a few friends who enjoy hockey more than I do but I have a lot more who watch WAAAY less than I do.

Yesterday, once the game started I flicked it on. First off, I couldn't find it on NBC. The game got bumped to MSNBC. This made me a little annoyed that what I felt was a pretty big game, couldn't even make it to the big network. However, once I found out that the game would be commercial free because it was MSNBC, I was okay with this decision.

You know what, the game was exciting. There was a ton of passion and hard play. The fans were going crazy for their boys and I found myself really enjoying the game. I ended up watching up until the end of the 2nd period at which point I had to leave the TV and make a trip to the airport. This is the crazy thing, if it were any other big sporting event, there is NO WAY that I leave my spot in front of the TV. But here I was, watching Olympic Hockey and I really didn't have too much of a problem walking away from the game. Granted I was able to listen to it on the radio in the car, but still,I think I surprised even myself.

It got me thinking about the Canadians and how big this game was to them. Even though the USA won and I was pumped about it, I almost felt bad for beating them because we as USA Hockey fans didn't deserve this win as much as the Canadian fans did.

That's pretty much it. Nothing on houses today. My dad and I had a listing appointment. It went well.
