24 Aug 2010 Hockey Geeks Unite! (Summer Edition)
 |  Category: fans, NHL, rumors  | Tags: , , ,

You know you’re a hockey geek when…

- You buy a copy of THN’s 2010 draft preview issue and watch the NHL draft (both days) while following along with their predictions.

- You get up at 7 a.m. and drive an hour and a half to watch a bunch of 20-year-olds run through skating drills.

Summer hockey! Woohoo!

- You call your local sports talk radio show to discuss the development camp and one of the hosts asks you to be his NHL fantasy team partner.

- You DVR your team’s playoff run on the NHL Network and watch the games they won over and over.

- You keep checking ESPN’s NHL Rumor Central even though you swore you wouldn’t because it’s nothing but speculative bullcrap.

- You read Watership Down and see the rabbits as your favorite players (Bigwig = Zdeno Chara; Dandelion = Marc Savard).

- You vacation in Newport and get giddy on the Cliff Walk because you heard David Krejci visited two weeks prior, and he must have walked there!

David Krejci was here! I think.

- You scour Twitter to find hockey players/media to follow (Mine: Joff Lupul, Scottie Upshall, Mike McKenzie, Bob McKenzie, the Bruins).

- When you watch baseball games on DVR, you don’t fast-forward through the hockey promos; you rewind them and watch them again. 
- You jump on your team’s schedule as soon as it’s released and have requests for days off on your boss’s desk the next day.
- You log on to TicketMaster on the stroke of 10 a.m. the first day they’re offered to buy tickets to the Bruins rookie game.
- You know that August, not April, is the cruelest month.

    Ha ha! I shamelessly admit doing a few of these things … but which ones, I’ll never tell. (I need to find a new Thrasher to be Mr. Darcy when I read “Pride and Prejudice” though — anyone? :-D )

    :-)

    Entertaining post as always!!

    You mean I’m not totally crazy? Or at least, I’m not alone in my craziness? Haha.
