My Internet Hockey Boyfriend

Cross posted (mostly) at Couch Tarts

(Apologies to my actual boyfriend who is on the internet but not into hockey. Also Steve Dangle has no idea who I am. I just admire from a far. He's a little young for me. I'll stop now.)

Have you seen Leafs Fan Reaction lately? You really should. No, seriously. Go now. I'll wait...

Isn't he fantastic? OK maybe I find him funnier than most other people, but I find him both smart about hockey and able to make fun of his team while still showing the love. Below are some of my favorite videos to give you a taste.

Greatest Hits
Getting Brodeur'd - Some of my favorite bits are the ones involving the player figurines. Nothing beats Brodeur. "Blocker side? More like NO GOAL SIDE!!"
Sundin's Hamlet - Just watch. Shakespeare + hockey = Win
Nuh nuh....nuh nuh nuh nuh.... - I'm biased. I love having seen the Sharks beat the Leafs twice in the last 2 seasons. But I also love watching the carnivorous Joe Thornton card.
Hockey Drive-Thru - I think it's fantastic how blurry the figurines get when they get close to the camera. And the McSorley joke is pretty good too.
Hockey Night in Canada Theme - That suit is full of win.
Ron Wilson Signs with Leafs - Gray loves this one for all the Joe Thornton figurine actions. I love his new Hockey Night in Canada theme.

I suppose he's easier to like for me cause I don't often care about the Leafs and the Sharks only face them once a year. Give the kid a chance and at least you'll have a good chance of being amused.

Yay for hockey on the internet!

My folks caved and got the Centre Ice online package, and they even gave me the password! This means I get to watch hockey this season!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm so unbelievably excited to get to see as many games as my internet connection will allow(as opposed to last school year when I got to see three games, and I couldn't leave the TV because if I did, it would get usurped by a pack of football players)...I foresee a lot of suspensions of my internet privileges. I hope there aren't too many Wild games back to back to allow for the school to cool off and give me the internet back. Yippee!
