First day of
vacation and I wake up wondering where I write to complain about the new format
at Hockey Night in Canada. The Flames
are in Vancouver tonight, but I dunno – the draw isn’t the same since Kesler’s
become a Duck and I don’t remember when I last watched an early game because
the broadcast team is intolerably annoying.
Then I look at
the schedule and see that Philly is visiting the Leafs in Toronto. That changes
everything!
A few days ago,
the boys had clawed their way into 22nd place in the league standings.
Surely they’ve improved since then; they have lots of time to make the playoffs
now that their losing trend is over.
Ha!
As of this
morning, they’ve slid down into 25th.
^%$&*$
I’m still tuning
in at 4:00. I can’t miss a chance to see them, especially playing against the 10th
place Leafs. It is, after all, my first day of vacation and the Leafs are my father’s team. A hockey dinner of
mince and tatties await, and however the game turns out, I’ll have seen my
Flyers.
It remains to be
seen if Dad stays in my will.
