Put me in, Coach- I’m ready to play

Well, hi there! It’s good to be back.

When I ended my blog last month, I had no intention of returning to blogging any time soon. Recent life changes for me and my husband, Chanuck– including a DC Sports Chicklet on the way– made me realize that I couldn’t maintain my own blog on a regular basis without sacrificing quality. Plus, I needed the break. Then OFB came calling, and I couldn’t resist; the guys are awesome and I didn’t want to pass up a chance to collaborate with them.

I know that there’s no way I could ever take EmptyMaybe’s place, not that anyone expects that, though that’s not my goal. Rather, I hope to provide a point of view that was previously missing from OFB (save for MrsGustafsson’s excellent post about Hockey in Heels). For the readers who don’t know me, I’m not the type to go all puckbunny and drool over the players. On the other hand, someone has to counter the boys’ official Lindsay Czarniak love on behalf of some of the female readers of the site. (It gets a little out of control at times, though I know they would disagree.)

The boys told me that they would pick up their dirty clothes, put the toilet seat down, and generally keep the blog in good order. If I could only get my own husband to do that…but just like in marriage, I know it doesn’t work that way. I don’t expect anything here to change. It will be business as usual, with perhaps a few subtle nuances. No worries!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled hockey blog…

    Is it just me or is Koken having a better play-by-play night than usual?

    Hey I pride myself on my ability to put the seat down, though the sock thing will never happen.

    Love you honey, and welcome back to blogging. Good to see you back on the horse.

    PS Great to see a Caps win again. It was getting a little frustrating watching the boys the past couple games.

  5. WFY - it isn’t just you; I, too, noticed a real energetic, really-on-top-of-it call tonight from Al.

    Who’s Lindsay Czarniak? Doesn’t she cover some other sport? :)

    Smokin’ Al was sure spirited and sharp tonight. And so were the Caps.

    Oh my god!! Congratulations, you guys :) Between you and Mrs. Gustafsson, OFB is certainly doing its part to increase attendance at Caps’ games…

    Oh yeah, and welcome back to blogging! We missed you.
