Well my ability to follow the hockey world has been severely hampered the past few days. And not just because we got a new puppy, but because I'm crate training her and housebreaking her. I haven't actually watched a full hockey game in about Friday, which means that this headache I have is probably a symptom of withdrawl. Instead, my time has been filled with two things: pee and poo. Now, it's not as wonderful as you imagine. At times like this, I am oh so glad that I have to write the FTB because while I was planning on getting to bed early until I remembered my responsibility, it is a refreshing mental break from the world of the puppy to actually read these blogs, and catch up on some hockey news.
