I'm not a huge hockey fan by any means, but a lot of my friends are and so the Wings winning the Cup was a great excuse to get drunk with some buddies on a Wednesday night. Wheee:)
I will say though, as someone who watches football and baseball for 80% of his sports, hockey has the most exciting OT of any sport I have ever seen (even though we didn't win it, the triple OT in the finals with the series on the line had me on the edge of my seat the whole way though). One of my roommates was a huge Wings and Capitals (he loves Ovechkin) fan and he would watch every single one of each team's regular season games and I would have him tell me if any game went to OT because that was the only time I cared to watch hockey.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
