If I lived in Korea, this would be a Korea-centric blog.
When I make the move back to Canada, it will be a Canada-centric blog. Today, although I am in Japan, I want to make this post a little….no wait!!!! I want to make it VERY Canada–centric.
This is Canada’s day for hockey. In 1996, Canada lost the Winnipeg Jets. It hs been the dream of thousands of Canadians that the city of Winnipeg would someday acquire a new NHL hockey franchise. Today that happened. True North Sports Entertainment, bought the Atlanta Thrashers franchise and will be moving them north to Winnipeg for the 2011-2012 season. I am definitely happy for the fine folks of Manitoba’s largest city.
Now, am I a hard core hockey fan? No I am not. Do I enjoy hockey? You better believe it! Am I happy that Canada now has a 7th NHL hockey francise? You better believe it.
Also, the Vancouver Canucks, another one of Canada's few NHL teams begin playing the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals this week. have I always been a Canucks's fan? No I haven't. Am I happy there is a Canadian team in the Stanley Cup finals? You bet your ASS I am!
Go Canucks Go!!!
Go Jets Go!!!
Sweetness, eh?
ReplyDeleteHave you been able to watch any of the games online? I'm subscribed to NHL Gamecenter which is pretty useful here in Korea because there aren't any broadcast blackouts.
Here's hoping the new Winnipeg team can be (financially) successful!
Same here, I am not a huge fan, but I am so excited that there is at least one Canuck (lol)team in this series.
ReplyDeleteAlso glad to see the return of the "jets" not sure if they will have the same name. Personally there are too many teams where there is no snow. :(
As an American from the North East, I hate practically everything about the South haha. Seeing Atlanta lose their team made me quite, sadistically, happy. ^-^;; I'm quite please for Winnipeg! Best of luck to them. (Though as a Philly native, I still bleed orange and black for my Flyers... as painful as it is at times to be a fan haha).
