oh no.

today starts the FINAL weekend before that dreaded,  oh-so-LONG national hockey league / nhl season begins.

sigh.

i've noted before: the boys @ the rikrak home are hockey nuts. fun hockey playing (that part i like!), 24 hour a day hockey updating, hockey news, hockey stats, hockey reading, hockey role-playing, hockey strategizing, hockey cheering,  hockey costumes, ... it's pretty much all hockey craziness, all the time....

(i know... that's NOT very canadian of me, is it?!)

in good news ... only 9 1/2 months til it's over!

have a glorious *last weekend without hockey* cuties!

who's with me?

seems as though tis the season of *on pins and needles*... a grand slew of things to be a little anxious / thoughtful / worried about / mindful of! 

some things are a little worrisome. some much less so.

life's like that, right!?

on the sillier end of things (i.e. not real worries!) ... we're all on pins and needles here tonight about game 6 of the stanley cup hockey finals!

now you may know i'm not such a hockey fan (read my mean tirade , jokey dis-love tale here) ... but little rikrak and mr. rikrak LOVE the vancouver canucks. me too!

so instead of worrying about all that other stuff tonight, let's just cheer on our cute canucks!

go vancouver!

what do you do to ease your nerves when you're worried about stuff, nicies? 

cheering for boston or vancouver?

one of my favourite signs of summer!

{ psst: can i tell you a bit of a secret? it's not a very popular sentiment here in my lovely homeland of Canada, but i am SOOOO excited about the NHL hockey season... almost being over! }

it's true. no offence to all of the hockey fans out there, but i love that soon... soon... there will be a ever-so-brief hockey break..... *sigh* ... and it will be a lovely wonderful summer... til hockey starts again!

the boys @ the rikrak home are hockey nuts. fun hockey playing (that part i like!), 24 hour a day hockey updates, hockey news, hockey reading, hockey costumes, ... it's pretty much all hockey craziness, all the time....

so while it sure isn't very Canadian... i've gotta say... i'm kinda happy that soon, when the stanley cup is won by either the Detroit Red Wings or the Pittsburgh Penguins, there will be a brief, little, happy hockey break. *sigh* .... anyone with me? so here's to the end of one LONG season (hockey) and the start of another (summer!)

have a great weekend, hockey nuts and all!
