(no subject)
Who is your favorite NHL Team?
The Pittsburgh Penguins. And then Vancouver Canucks. But they're a distant second.
Your most hated NHL team?
The Flyers. Or perhaps Detroit? The Devils? At times, the Rangers? Definitely the Caps.
Ever been to an NHL game?
of course
Are you a season ticket holder?
I unfortunately do not live near a team I would buy season tickets for.
Your Stanley Cup Prediction for this year?
Boston. Although a part of me thinks the Caps are going to win the East.
Who's going to be the rookie of the year?
Steve Mason
How about MVP?
I don't want to write it here but...you-know-who. Just because carries the team while Sid and Geno are number one and two in scoring, so clearly neither are the most valuable player to their team. But if the Pens miraculously make the play-offs, and Geno continues the way he's been playing, I could see him getting some serious Hart trophy consideration.
What are your traditions when going to a game?
I don't really have any. I do like to watch the warm-up skate though.
What are your traditions when watching a game on TV?
Oh, Lord. It used to be worse. I used to pray before every game. Now it's basically get into my PJs (a must, comfort is a must) and I don't move. There's a hilarious commercial for the Penguins about a girl who's like "I turn my phone off, sign off of facebook" and I was like, oh that's so stupid. I'M THAT GIRL! I don't pick up the phone if I'm watching a game.
Do you play hockey as well?
God, no.
What is your most hated stereotype about your team or your teams fans?
A lot of people think we're bandwagon fans. Not so, for the most part. And there's you know, Cindy. I also hate that people think refs fix the game for the Pens.
How many times has your team won the Stanley Cup?
twice
Made it to the Cup Finals in the last 10 seasons?
once, last season!
Which team, in your eye, is the best in the league?
Detroit. They've got a great core, and they are systematically out-of-this-world.
What team(s) do you think will be the One(s) To Watch over the next few seasons?
I think the Caps can only get better, and I expect good things to happen to Edmonton and Buffalo. Oh, and of course, Chicago.
What or who made you interested in hockey?
It's always been on in my house, always talked about. But my love of Petr Sykora escladed my love of hockey.
How many jerseys do you own?
two, but no need to name them
Is your room decorated with your favorite team?
I have a picture I took of Sykora last season on my wall, and of course, my Geno clock. Make fun all you want.
Is anyone else in your family a hockey fan?
My entire family.
Do you enjoy the fights?
Sometimes. If Godard is fighting, say, Orr, then no. But if it's TK vs. Luke Schenn or someone who doesn't generally fight, then I get excited.
Have you ever met any pro players?
No, and let's be thankful for that.
Have you got any NHL player autographs?
Indeed. Messier's.
Have you ever caught a puck from the stands?
no

5 favorite NHL players?

Hockey movie?
Miracle. Saw it twice in the movies. Although, I do love me some Mighty Ducks.
