Welcome back hockey!
While I admit, all of last year was full of me uttering the phrase "Hockey can go F itself!", it is good to have the game back! One of my goals I've made to accomplish over the course of the next little while is to actually go to a NHL hockey game, seeing as how I've been a fan since I was 7. My folks never let me go as they always worried of the riot mentality ever-present in third-world country cricket matches and English football. Thank God I'm a BIG BOY now and can go on my own! Now if anyone wants to keep me company, feel free to let me now, I'm willing to go to Buffalo (another on my large list of things to do!).
Though I always will be a Leafs fan at heart, unlike the idiot fans, I'm a realist. I expect nothing but hope for a Stanley Cup. I've actually decided to pick a second team to support, seeing as I actually want to support a team because it plays a style of hockey I enjoy to watch. Hence, I'm an Oilers fan!
Now picking the Oilers has not come from right out of the blue. While many of you have seen my extensive collection of sports logo-ed paraphenelia, believe it or not my first ever logo-ed shirt was an Edmonton Oilers sweatshirt with the immortal 99 on the front. I got this when I was like 3, but I suppose kismet guided me to support them! Keep in mind though, that my parents had NO idea what the shirt meant, and only bought it because it looked nice and was of good quality (they bought it from the Bay - where a majority of my childhood clothes were from!).
On to present times, I do have a fondness for the Oilers attractive style of play. I suppose the teams I support would be much like the women I'd prefer. One being the wealthy socialite who may not have the best of looks, but is blindly loved by many for past achievements. While the other is a hot 20-something who catches the eye and has a certain je ne sais quoi about her.
Yes, I do know my mind is working way to hard when I'm comparing hockey teams to women.
