It gets kind of riotous around here in the spring. :skull:


I used to be a really big Habs fan until Ottawa started up. I have a few uncles who are huge Leafs fans so my team preferences didn't go over well. :lol:

Never liked the Senators, but we were big on the Flames for a while.
OHHHHH forgot that I know quite a few Chicago players from when they won.
I've actually touched the cup at a hockey party. Will look for a photo.

I was watching a Leafs-Blackhawks playoffs game when I was in labour in hospital. :twisted:

I'm going to need the epidural if Potvin lets another one in.

Only for fun as a kid, never as part of a league.
I used to really enjoy skating and I think I might try getting into it again next winter... if I can find some size 13 skates.

I should probably make an effort before asking for help. :oops: :lol:

After checking there's a sports store near my dispensary. :mrgreen:

I'd want used ones most likely, so they're broken in.
Most hockey players play barefoot too.
It helps shape the inside and keeps your feet warmer.

I can't do shoes with no socks.

But you're right about getting them already broken in. Not to mention, I lose interest in some stuff pretty quickly. :oops:

Do you ski?

None of the above; but my one brother got pretty good at BMX in high school, he does long-distance biking events some times. My other brother is into mountain biking.

I've been cross-country skiing once and mostly enjoyed it.

I played soccer and had a skateboard.
Never really great at either.
I don’t watch sports that often, maybe when I’m bored and channel surfing.
Hockey, soccer, skateboarding or if it’s motor sports ,then rally.I can’t see the point in round and round a track.Makes me sleepy.
Used to watch local racing with people bringing their hot rods in to go through the 1/4.Also too loud.
Demolition derby and a few truck pulls.
Too noisy for me to go often.Took the kids to those at the local fair.
My son was into dirt bikes and BMX so we used to watch that on tv or just him tearing it up.
