Because we are in full pack & move mode at the office this week, the dress code is waived and I'm wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. A Caps sweatshirt, because 90% of my casual wear has a Capitals logo on it somewhere. After I got dressed this morning I realized...hey, today should be the first game.
Damn lockout.
I do admit, there's been something a bit liberating about accepting invitations without saying "Hold on, I'll see if we have a game that night." I won't be using hockey as an excuse to skip the gym several nights a week. But I have a feeling in another week or two I'll be really missing it.
Ted's Whoopass Jamboree is on, though...that's why there's a little Portland Pirate there in the corner. What the heck...if we'd had an NHL season, I'd pretty much be watching the Pirates anyway.
UPDATE to add...I just realized that's the "junior" Pirates logo. Oops. I'll fix that tonight...
UPDATE 2...logo fixed. Wouldn't ya know, I picked an AHL team that doesn't have audio webcasts of the games. Gonna be tricky to really follow them, I'm afraid, and Portland is a little far for a road trip. (The most expensive tickets are $19, though. Wow. It is a different world.)
I was right about one thing: the Pirates roster has some familiar names.
