Toronto is out of the playoffs (hockey), last Canadian team with a shot. I am anxious about my Canadian-ness though, because I don't really care. I guess I have been bitter towards hockey since the Jets left. But oh, we were passionate then, lemme tell ya. Once some guys in college decided that, in the spirit of being young and dumb, they would play buck naked, in the middle of winter, on an outdoor rink (at about 3 am). Truth is, I chickened out on that one; just didn't love the game enough I guess. We thought at the time about calling the newspaper to get a photographer out there, and looking back I kinda wish I had. That woulda been a great headline. Might have gone round the world.
