I grew up in Detroit and by nature of that am a Red Wings fan. I think you have to be, it's like a law or something. 10+ years ago when I was graduating from High School, the Red Wings were on top of their game. Detroit had been nick-named Hockey Town and we had the best parties watching the games. We even danced in the streets when they won the Stanley Cup. These are some of my funnest memories!!

**The Hockey was okay too.**

Fast forward a few months to the sleepy town of Rexburg, Idaho. I meet a cute boy from Phoenix who says "Cool, your from Detroit? Are you a Red Wings fan?"
I replied: "Heck ya, I'm a Red Wings fan, are you?"
He tells me that Phoenix had only had a hockey team for a short time, so he's always been a Red Wings fan. Then he asks if I was going to watch the game tonight. This is where I saw my chance! "Oh," I replied (*batting eyelashes and flashing my most charming smile*) "I don't have a TV" Ha Ha! He took the bait! "You should come watch it at my apartment"

Well, here we are sitting on the couch some 9 years later. It was Friday and this is how the week had gone:

Monday: Fiesta Bowl,
Tuesday: Sugar Bowl,
Wednesday: Suns Game,
Thursday: National Championship Game,
Friday: Suns Game & Coyotes Game.

Let me also tell you that this is the first week my dear Hubbie had been home in the evenings in 18 months (he started on days again and it's WONDERFUL!) So to celebrate he decided to OD on sporting events. By Friday I was at my wits end and complained about having to flip between 2 sporting events. He says "hey, I seem to recall a 19 year old girl that loved hockey"

Yeah, yeah... I know. I sat down and fell asleep on the couch. And in my defense: He never asked me if I was a HOCKEY fan:)
