I'm rooting.
Even though we are Texan, I'm rooting.
Even though they transplanted for Hockey Centrale, I'm rooting.
Even though Texas rarely gets snow, we get ice, and therefore, I'm rooting.
I'm a huge sports buff, but NFL is my thing...not NHL. I'm a rookie when it comes to being an NHL fan. I can hear you now, 'ohhhh, you're one of those *fairweather* fans who likes a team when they're winning!' WRONG! ASS! I liked the Stars since before I moved to Dallas 10 years ago, and have ever since. I certainly couldn't tell you all the names of the best players, or spout stats, or even tell you their record this year. But it's a kick-ass sport with high energy, a fast-pace, complex rules (icing??huh??), toothless men and lotsa other cool stuff. I like it, and will continue to learn it. Allthewhile...rooting for YOUR Dallas Stars.
By the by -- total sidebar -- my favorite thing about going to the games, besides them winning, is the National Anthem. Whenever 'stars' is sung, the whole AAC audience screams "STARS". Wowee...am I an easily entertained date, or what?
All tht being said, YOUR Dallas Stars are in the hunt for the Stanley Cup. We are hoping to bring back the Glory O '99. Let's hope we can do it.....Right now, we are down 2-1 vs. the Canucks.
What the hell is a Canuck?? I had to look up the definition because their team jersey has a shark or some weird sea animal thingie on the front of it attempting to be ferocious. I pondered, 'is a canuck really a type of shark or other sea animal thingie?'. I hopped onto encarta @ MSN and looked it up. Comically, a foul language warning flashed and I had to acknowledge that I was indeed over age 18 (God bless them over there at Encarta thinkin I look that young...). So I happily press "continue" and the page flashes the definition. I had to laugh out loud. What's so offensive?? I guess I'm not Candienne, so I don't get it (re: definition two). However, it clearly has nothing to do with sharks or sea animal thingies as seen here:
Canucks are Canadians. Yawn. No wonder they need a ferocious looking shark or sea animal thingie.
Good luck STARS!
Bon soir mes amis,
