Link Love: Hockey is Back Edition!

January 18, 2013 by therandompath

Ducks all day, baby!

Hockey is back! Hockey is back! HOCKEY IS BACK!

Can you tell that I am a bit excited that the lockout is OVER and hockey is officially BACK!

I feel like I have aged another year during the course of this lockout, for real. October didn’t really feel like October without having a brand new season to watch on television. And New Year’s Day somehow felt empty without watching The Winter Classic. And watching fans bicker on the sports blogs about the players association and whether the commissioner is a troll or not, lost its luster pretty quickly.

So hockey is back, and yes to answer your question, California does have professional hockey teams.

GO DUCKS!!!

You know what I will be watching on Saturday 🙂

Here are the posts I got a kick out of this week:

Thanks for the mention Mackenzie! Though I am not a hockey fan myself, something has to fill the airwaves now that football is wrapping up. Plus, anything has got to be better than baseball… Have a great weekend!

  Yeah, I will miss football once the season is over. It goes by way too fast! Have a great weekend!

Anaheim Ducks???? And I liked you so, so much….. sigh. I’ll have to try and ignore that except when the DETROIT RED WINGS are kickin’ some Duck’s butts.

Hockeeyyyy! Seriously it is the only sport I will tolerate, and I cannot wait to be in the stands at the arena munching on nachos and enjoying a ridiculously overpriced drink. Thank you so much for the mention this week!

I grew up in Maine so we’re big college hockey fans in this household.

I miss watching hockey back in Canada.
I spent most of the time with my uncle there!

Thanks for the mention — is watching the Ducks anything like the Mighty Ducks? Because I LOVED THAT MOVIE.

  Ha, ha, ha! Um, it’s a little different 🙂 When is Portland going to get a pro hockey team? That would be awesome!
