I remember the tradition of watching the Leafs with family and friends. There would be food, hockey chat, drinks and a whole lot of yelling. I imagine that as a kid a lot of stuff went over my head but what stuck with me is the fun of the get together. Lately we have been reviving the tradition both at home and at the group home. With the Leafs win/lose record we try to emphasize how well we cheer rather than the actual game. When I go back to work I can count on one of our guys saying "What happened to our Leafs?". That gets hard to hear after a while. One of the good things about watching the game is the comradery that happens whether we win or lose. A good tradition all in all.
I like all the talk that goes on during the game, jumping from one topic to the next, doesn't matter if it is hockey related or not. It is nice to have a flow of talk that has no external pressures on it. Sort off topic I finally got to see a real Hi Definition hockey game. What an amazing sight! We watched a stray nose hair of Darcy Tucker wave in and out and had marveled about that for quite a while. One day I will have that too!
