It's Official....GAME ON!!!! WOOOHOOOOOOO

Today is a very very very very very HAPPY day in our house. Finally we can begin the countdown to the beginning of the 2005-2006 NHL season. Finally the lockout is OFFICALLY over! I don't know where all of you plan on being on October 5th, but I know where I will be. In front of my TV taking in ALL the hockey I can. Cause I have missed it. It has been like torture for us with having the whole season cancelled last year. While I have grown to LOVE baseball since I have been with Chris it is just not the same. I am Canadian and hockey is where it's at. While Chris and I are very devoted to the teams that we love...Chris the Colorado Avalanche and me the Edmonton Oilers, we are very much excited to be in a city where there is a team and we can actually go to games. Although you can be sure we will be planning some road trips to go see the Avs and the Oilers.

I am also excited about a lot of the rule changes and such. Most importantly I am glad they are getting rid of the TIE. Now all games will have a 5 minute overtime, if that doesn't break the tie there will be a shootout. I think shootouts are fun to watch. I am also very happy they are getting rid of the red line to open up the game and let these guys to what they do best. I can't wait, I think it's going to be a better game with all these changes. I think there will be a lot more scoring and therefore making the games more exciting.

Oh and you can be sure that Chris and I will be ordering NHL Center Ice on our satellite as soon as dish network has it set to order!

So for all of you who are hockey fans....GAME ON!!!

I am not a hockey fan, but Jason is. I hadn't heard that the lockdown was over...that is good news though! It was weird not to have any hockey going on.

I was never a big fan, now i am not a fan. Common, watching overpaid men play a game while i struggle to make ends meat, and all they do is whine for another million... Not for me, my life is better without it, i spend my time watching my kids grow instead of watching an over priced game...
Just my opinion, no offense chris and Evey.
Big bro in Edm...

You know, as an Oilers fan it's in my blood to hate the Flamers. But they sure had me on their side when they went to the finals. Woulda been sweet had they won!
