I love hockey and am a very devoted Dallas Stars fan (been one since they moved there, so no, I am not a bandwagoner). Hockey is an awesome sport, especially since I have played the game (goaltender, yeah, I'm crazy enough to put two pillows on my legs and keep a rast moving piece of rubber out of the net). I love watching plays develop and I can generally tell when a breakout is going to happen or when a score is going to happen. I remember watching one Pittsburgh game, I think it was the playoffs, and the Penguins were down by one, and they were shorthanded. I took one look at Mario Lemieux and said to all my buddies, "He's gonna go score a shorthanded goal here in the next thirty seconds." And I'll be damned if he didn't, cuz there he went with Straka and got his pass, and there ya go, SH Goal. I made a nice buck off of that one. So yeah, I love everything about hockey ('cept when the goalie gets his sovereignty infringed upon, a goalie's crease is his castle ya know) and I am slowly getting more converts to the hockey brethren over here in Virginia (altho they turn out to be Caps fans, I need to work on that).
