I like hockey. I spent some of my formative years in Minnesota, so that's a given. But I've never really followed any organized leagues, including the NHL, so I didn't know about all the hockey activity last night. However, a friend's comment on Facebook was a clue that there was at least one game. The comment read: USA USA! Suck it, Canada.

Heh.

Yup, been some great hockey

Yup, been some great hockey already this year. Good to see the US win Juniors after 5 years, eh? I think their NCAA-based training/pro/education route is better than the Junior Hockey League schtick anyway.

Meanwhile, my Leafs suck slightly less than previously, the season only being saved by that truly bad Smurfs/Habs team, and the Olympics coming should be fun....

Everyone else I was rooting

Everyone else I was rooting for also lost. There are days like that.

Congratulations to Team

Congratulations to Team U.S.A., the new world junior champions. Canada scrambled back from a two-goal deficit in the last three minutes to force overtime, but the miracle comeback was not to be. Full credit to the U.S. team for the win.

See, I'm not bitter. Much less cranky. Not a bit. We'll get you next year, like we did the previous five straight.
