hockey talk

For those of you who don't know anything about me, I'm a pretty big hockey lovin' girl... and for those of you who do know me, you might say that that was a little bit of an understatement : ) hehe Anyways, i was involved in a hockey pool again this year and i just have to say that it makes me happy... even though the guy who was running the website was not very punctual and often made errors on the scores... which is very frustrating when you're trying to win! Anyways, it ended this week (don't ask me why... there's no apparent reason) and i ended up placing 14th after 19 weeks of competition, even after having missed 3 weeks of picks. I didn't win a prize, but i did get bragging rights... and lose my humility along the way, heh. I think i was probably one of like three girls in the pool, and was definitely the highest placing female, Yay! :-D It makes me proud when i can keep up just as well with the boys... some of them aren't so smart after all! hehe Actually, there's a certain boy who i am friends with whose name starts with a T and ends with a 'vor' who i beat or tied like 70% of the time. w00t!! i used him as my measuring stick since i know that he's good and smart, and it looks like i measured up not too bad! i enjoy keeping up with the player and team stats and latest news in the NHL on a daily basis. I guess i'm not your average girl when it comes to sports... you can be sure that i'll know exactly what's going on in the world of olympic hockey these next 11 days too ; )
