A Late Night, Obsessive Poll

by gallagher on Nov 7, 2009 12:27 AM CST Comment 6 comments

I like hockey. Hockey is so ingrained in the day-to-day business of the Gallagher household that my four-year-old spent about four minutes explaining to me what she would do if she played hockey, even though she probably wants to play a different sport, but go Blues, and I like hockey but might want to do something else.

A conversation that some psychiatrist would probably dissect and turn against me. Or will, later, at great cost to me.

So, while I have an advantage over many of you in that I have offspring that I can force into liking the sport, let's see just how obsessed YOU are. By thye way, there are no wrong answers here tonight.

I'd fall into the 4th one if

I could skate without falling on my ass every few minutes

I hear ya, dude.

No one understands my unathletic awkwardness. Not even the guys in the white lab coats.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

Thanks to NHL GameCenter,

I can watch the Blues from the hockey wasteland of Jonesboro, Arkansas… I play NHL 09 as the Blues… and I played various types of hockey (street, roller, ice, etc.) until I was 42…

Now I have an artificial left knee, so my days on skates have ended… but NOT my passion for the Blues!

I picked the first option

I don’t play video games and I don’t have a fantasy team. But i’ll watch any hockey game. Especially if a team is playing against the wings then I route for the wings to lose.
