Hockey meme
1. My favourite team? le club de hockey canadien, ben sur!
2. My favourite player? Oh man, I don't really do absolute favourites. I really love Ryan Kesler an awful lot though. My goodness but he *tries* like it's going out of style. I am fascinated by super intense people and I just love watching him play.
3. Best game I’ve been to? A Czech Extraliga game when I was studying over there. We sat behind the penalty box and a couple of our Finnnish buddies chirped the shit out of the Finnish players every time they sat in the box, which was hilarious. The sausages from the concession stand were really good. And I managed to buy the tickets in Czech! The home team lost, but it was still a blast. Amazing atmosphere in the building. And my friend from Toronto and I freaked out every time we noticed a Canadian jersey or flag in the stands - which happened several times.
4. 3 teams I don’t care for? Bruins, Bruins, Bruins. Wait, no, that's not true. The Flames, as the epitome of all that is bland and uninteresting, are a team I don't care for. The Bruins are a team I hate.
5. If my team doesn’t hoist the cup this year, I hope that it goes to: The Leafs.
6. First favourite player? Brendan Shanahan. There were a lot of Red Wings games on in our house during the Scotty Bowman years.
7. Why am I a hockey fan? Because I'm Canadian and I grew up with it.
8. Team Crosby or Team Ovi? This might be a debate if Ovechkin would wear his uniform like a normal person. TUCK YOUR DAMN GEAR IN, YOU SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE.
9. Second favourite team? To be honest, the Leafs. Otherwise I go through phases but I really like Vancouver and Edmonton these days.
10. Favourite Russian player? Datsyuk. DEM HANDS.
11. Favourite Swedish player? Erik Karlsson. If I can count twins as one person, then the Sedins.
12. Favourite American player? Kesler, but since I already used him as an answer - Pacioretty.
13. Favourite Canadian player? Too hard. But I will say that someone needs to rescue Rick Nash from Columbus, like, yesterday. Otherwise, we all know of my tragic and multi-faceted adoration of Duncan Keith, yes? Yes.
14. Staals or Sedins? Sedins. Talent and class down to the ground. Also, you have to love anyone who lays a sick burn on Mike Milbury.
15. Player I like on a team I don’t? Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla.
16. Craziest thing I’ve done for my team? Trash talked a Bruins fan customer and joked that I'd spit in his drink? (He gave me a nice tip too, ha.)
17. First player I met? None. I have stood around staring at Patrice Brisebois and Chris Nilan like a creeper though.
18. Team I’ll support in Sochi 2014? OH CANADA
19. Arena I’d kill to watch a game in? The Bell Centre.
20. Player currently on my team whose number deserves to be retired? Well, no one really. Lots of them are still kids and there's no one who's illustrious enough. I will vote Saku on this one, though.
21. Team Taylor or Team Tyler? Team Nugent-Hopkins.
22. Who will win the Norris this year? Probably a defenseman.
