F#@%IN A!!
I interrupt this regularly scheduled wargaming blog to bring you the return of the NHL! Despite a tentative deal made over the weekend, my hockey numbness caused by the lockout probably won't subside until I watch a game actually being played, but hey, it's a great way to start the week. :-)
How does this remotely tie in with miniature wargaming other than the blog author being a hockey fan and the fact that it's my blog and I'll do whatever the... Well, I tend to watch a lot of hockey (when they're not fighting over money) during the Winter, and when the hockey game is on I tend to do a lot of hobbying. So yeah...
Congrats boys!
Also over the weekend, Team USA took the GOLD in the IIHF World Junior (under 20) Championship, beating last year's winner Sweden. I realize that most Americans don't even know this tournament exists, but our neighbors to the north live and breathe by this stuff and a certain team didn't even win a medal this year. Gee, I'm really... sorry... to hear that... ;-)
Good weekend for hockey fans and hopefully a boon to my hobby efforts. :-D

Finally!
ReplyDeleteIt was a joyful day yesterday when I heard the lockout will end. I've already marked the 19th January in my calendar.
Cheers

Indeed. :-)
DeleteSuggestion New Movie coming out with Kurt Russell about the USA Olympic Hockey team of 1980 (Truely one of the GOLDEN moments in sports history - before the professionals ruined Olympic hockey) Watch that movie 10 times to make up for your lack of Hockey viewing during this last labor dispute. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteIndeed good news.Go Habs go!
ReplyDeletebtw we lost the tournament on purpose. We keep winning Olympic golds over you guys so we kinda figured we should throw you guys a bone ;-)
Yeah, sacrifice the kids for the greater good... and Crosby had an illegal curve on that stick or something... :-P
