the hockey fans

Jerseys? Unwavering optimism? Full set of teeth? GAME ON!

Now that my Thrashers are showing signs of life again, I re-upped for the Center Ice package this season. This way, I can follow the ups and downs (hopefully more of the former) of my favorite team even though I'm in Chicago. Overboard isn't terribly thrilled with my desire to once again watch 82+ hockey games, but to her credit, she's done a great job humoring me.

Kenny reacts in disbelief at another amazing save.

Kenny has shown interest on and off with all things hockey. He loves the fact that the Thrasher's backup goalie is "The Moose" and that he gets to chant "Moooooooooooooose" every time he makes a save. He also loves to say "DING DONG!" every time a puck hits the post. However, as the following video will attest, he doesn't quite have the patience to sit through a full game yet. Or rather, a full period. But I'm working on that.

Overboard found it so hysterical that Kenny quickly opted in, and then out, of watching a game with me that she was unable to utter coherent sentences. See for yourself:

Already done watching in the first period? That one hurt.

No one disrespects the Thrashers! (except, you know, the national hockey media, various hockey fans, my father and, well, most everyone outside of my basement).
