My hockey deprivation has just gotten to be too much. The Hockey World Championships are going on right now in Austria and I ordered the internet package (there is no TV package in the States) which allows me to watch the games live (streamed over the internet) or download them and and watch them later.
Verizon, our internet provider, is having issues and my internet connection is really slow so I’ve only been able to download the first game which was Canada vs. Latvia. The announcers are…..not quite as good as I’m used to, but it makes for some nice unintentional comedy.
Honestly it’s just nice to watch NHL players playing hockey again. I like the international rules much more than the regular NHL rules becuse there’s much less thuggery and more skill. It’s just a better game – the way it should be. USA won their opener against Slovenia 7-0 so maybe that means good things for us. I think the USA goal is just to medal, but I’m an optimist so why not go for gold.
