People around here come out of the woodwork whenever the "local" teams are doing well during the playoffs (Pens/Caps), but you don't really hear much about it during the regular season.<br /><br />@ Dysfunction Junction: Thanks for not being obnoxious. You and Vince Vaughn can be my favorite Hawks' fans. But that's it; my limit is two.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001384021623775472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-35671123990174962942009-10-06T21:16:53.029-04:002009-10-06T21:16:53.029-04:00Ow...ow ow ow.

The first game against them...@ Maxie: Great idea. The first game against them is 10/17, so that'll be a good thing to include in my preparatory hating on the Avs.<br /><br />@ M: Thanks! Professional athletes who can't handle the basics of their job annoy the hell out of me. Hooray for you going to a Stars game. Did you have fun?<br /><br />@ Aubrey: Thanks for following. :) I'm glad to find another Wings fan on here. I know how hard it is to follow hockey when you live in an area that's not as hockey-obsessed as the Midwest/Northeast. Are you from Michigan originally?<br /><br />@ Brian: We need to make our own version of that Center Ice commercial, only I'm not going to complain about chowder or deep-dish pizza. I also thought about the Reston/WV thing when I wrote about the Omaha game in this post. Drunken hockey fans are the best ever.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001384021623775472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-88036613547491167082009-10-05T22:55:10.243-04:002009-10-05T22:55:10.243-04:00hahahahahahahaha.

I will never, ever, ever not hate them. <br /><br />We may live in West Virginia (or Reston, as some think) now, but our seats are DEFINATELY Center Ice, no thanks to Comcast. <br /><br />Nice post :)Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177256134069834768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-54039029162997281772009-10-05T16:38:44.690-04:002009-10-05T16:38:44.690-04:00I'm glad to see a Wings fan blogging.
