Let’s be honest, those that know me, know that hockey is the love of my life. It has helped me through so much, and has truly been the light at the end of my dark tunnel. The offseason is long and treacherous, and at this point in the offseason I am wondering just how I have managed to remain sane. So I have decided to make a list of things that I have done during the offseason to pass the time-things that I don’t normally find myself doing.
1.) Getting acrylic nails put on and going back every 2 weeks to get them “filled”.
2.) Watching the Miss America Pageant (lovely show & great young women… I just don’t normally watch it)
3.) Watching football and matching players by look to characters of ‘Friends’
4.) Switching from pourable laundry detergent to Tide PODS for “fun”
5.) Working out
6.) Taking multiple selfies in Caps apparel to comfort me during the withdrawal pain
Yeah, it’s been a rough offseason. I also came to the realization that this will be the first full NHL season that I have to go without my number one Caps buddy and best friend, Reagan. Sigh.
But in real hockey news, congratulations to the Caps Captain Alex Ovechkin on his engagement this week. As far as the Caps go, I think this will be a solid season for the boys. And, hopefully, a lot less heartbreaking…
