I know others have done Yuletide threads but I really did just want to add that I have not had so much fun in the last eighteen months or so, even having my pockets picked in trades by people who shall remain nameless; I"m just saying, I've never met another human to whom I said "let me buy you a drink" and they responded "throw in a second and you got a deal".
Seriously now. It really has been wonderful to have a pretext to care about players that aren't Winnipeg Jets again, for the first time in a whole-ass saga or so. I'm happy to be part of this group, I"m happy for a pretext to see friends in Calgary, and to be honest? Sundog wins and losses are one thing; but compared to hockey bants in parking lots, or VIP bar areas, or in Adrian's den or in the viet diner across the street or anywhere in between?
Trying to catch Barry on a trade technicality under the auspices of the league commish in the corner of a Chick-fil-a in Marlborough Mall's weak sister across the street from the McDonalds my first serious job was at? And that didn't involve needing to belt out Gilbert & Sullivan's "For he is an Englishman"?
As the great American philosopher Hilary Erhard Duff once said, "hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of".
See y'all soon enough!
