OK, so. I am working on dragging the lovely rufflefeather into the world of hockey. And for totally selfish reasons, I want her to cheer for the Bruins. BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST, SYLVIE, DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE. Ahem.

So, here is a brief introduction that I hope will win you over. Or at least teach you a little more about hockey, anyway.

Today the Oilers finally announced the most obvious choice in the world:

Guess what, guys. All our (my) dreams are coming true. That's right, THE BRUINS FINALLY HAVE A BEHIND THE SCENES SHOW, OHGODOHGODOHGOD ( Read more... )

So its official, ference is going to the Oilers. which makes me happy for a lot of reasons:

1) its his hometown, and the team he grew up watching, which, awwww

2)i think he can really make a difference there. They've got all these young stars, but they're still trying to figure out how to make it work. And most of the dmen are real young. He'll be ( Read more... )

Fuck, why is hockey so emotionally draining sometimes? Tonight's Habs/Bruins game was amazing and heartbreaking and nerve-wracking and I can't even collect all my emotions right now.
