Things I learned Last Season

1) I suck at fantasy hockey

2) Putting a hot player on my fantasy hockey roster is a 100% guarantee that he will start sucking.

3) I really seriously suck at choosing a fantasy hockey team.

4) FSN Detroit is by far my favorite network to watch hockey on (Ken and Mickey rock!)

5) The Center Ice package is worth the cost, but only because I can't get FSN Detroit.

and I'm sure there's a bunch of other crap I learned but really the only one that matters is: I SUCK AT FANTASY HOCKEY!

Cool things I got to do last season:

1) Went to the charity poker tourney in Detroit and sat at the same table with Samuelson, gave him a lot of crap while we were playing too :) Got beat hard with pocket kings way too early but got a chance to talk to Sammy a bit. Had a pretty cool conversation with Ozzie and got to meet Dats. Got to meet Ericsson and picked Larry Murphy's brain in the casino bar. And a whole bunch of other crazy stuff but the experience was so enormously huge to me that I can't begin to try to type it all!


2) Went to Round 1, Game 2 of the playoffs. Watched Ozzie get a shutout! (yep, I love me some Ozzie)

3) Told Derek Meech to "Make me a bicycle, clown!" [another charity poker thing!]

4) Went on our first, "Girls Only! Hockey Trip" with Carin and Riley. We went to watch RIT play Army. Riley enjoyed knowing that our trip was for girls only, no boys allowed :) We had a really good time - Riley made her signs in the hotel room, we went 'camping' under the blankets, and her weekend was complete when the whole RIT team walked into the restaurant while we were eating dinner.

5) Watched Air Force take out the number one seed in their bracket - would have preferred it was the Tigers who were there, but it was cool to see a team from Atlantic Hockey go that far. Hopefully that will help the AHA get some more respect

6) Watched my husband get stitched up in the Strong ER after he got hit in the forehead with an errant "Mercyhurts" puck during the pregame warmups. We missed the entire game on Friday but we were back for the Saturday game!
