Off-Season
I know you're probably very upset. Hockey season's long over, playoffs are done, and for those of you who were midle entertained by FIFA, that's winding down as well. The draft's been taken care of, and much to our chagrin, there isn't much going on anymore. Well, never fear, children. Some crazy shit can happen during the off-season. Remember last summer? The Dany Douchebag Heatley fiasco, and on top of that, the Habs went trade-crazy and gave away all their stars. Keep your eyes open, folks. The insanity (!) of free agency is about to begin. And who'll be there through it all keeping you updated? Yours truly. Happy off-season!

Dear World
People should really learn to organize their events better. Because to go from the intense competition and speed of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to soccer, its just not right. Sure, FIFA is like "the most watched sporting event in history", but it's still soccer. People get nudged and they fall over. It's pathetic.
I say, the Stanley Cup ends, we get a three week break to digest the outcome, and then they can play their silly games. Don't just cut right into our celebrations! The parade in Chicago should've been on the front cover of the Ottawa Citizen this morning, not some picture of some brazilian guy with his dreads flying about in the air. I mean, if you're going to put a foreing soccer player on the first page of the newspaper, you should make him an attractive one, with decent hair, at least.
God. I hate soccer. I just hate it. It's such a sissy sport. And it's so slow, too. I mean, nothing happens! It takes a team like, an hour, to finally get into the other team's end, and by that time all the defender has to do is kick it as hard as they can to the other side of the field, and it starts all over again. And then when the forwards finally decide to take a shot, the goalie dives in the opposite direction! I mean, if you know you're going to score every time you take a shot, then why don't you just shoot more often? And when it's like 500 degrees out there, don't they ever get hot? I mean, make this game a little more interesting for us. Take off your shirts!
Please, someone, do something about this game. Because right now, there's nothing else for us Canadians to watch. Hockey's done, the Hawks are out partying and I'm pretty sure the Pens are golfing in Miami along with every one else. There isn't anything else on TV, and do you really expect us to watch baseball? So, do us northern folks a favor, and either inforce shirtless gaming or don't even bother to play it internationally.
Thanks,
A Hockey Fan
