In Case You're Wondering

No I haven't given up yet. See what's happened this year. Did the Flyers give up after they lost the first two games against Boston? After they lost the first three games? You can feel it in the air, something magical is going to happen. So to all you bandwagon jumpers who decided to cheer for the Habs and have now given up, you may go back to your old team. It's far from over. The Forum Ghosts are waiting the arrival of Les Habitantes. Forever Proud.

Anthems

What really is the purpose of playing the national anthems at a hockey game? I can fully understand when it is the Olympics and you're playing for your country. But yesterday for example, when O Canada was being played, one of the Pittsburgh Penguins players was saying to it. And good for him. I can't remember who it was but obviously he is a Canadian. Just because his team is based in the States doesn't mean he can't be patriotic to his homeland. And I'm sure if any American-born players on a Canadian team would feel pride when the Star Spangled Banner is played. Maybe they should just have a generic "hockey anthem" and go with that.

Pedestrians

I complain a lot about drivers but sometimes pedestrians are just as bad. People who don't even look when they cross the street. Weren't they taught to "look both ways" when they were young? And is it that hard to wait when "flashing hand" lights up? It doesn't mean you can still cross at a snail's pace because chances are you're not going to make it across before the other light turns green. And there are the idiots who don't even feel like using the sidewalk, thinking that it's a lot more fun to walk along the road.
