no hockey, no watchy!
There are millions of me in Canada. Those stereotypical Canadian beer commercial that makes us look two dimensional and simplistic...that’s me and all my friends. I'm 38 and have been playing hockey for 35 years, getting fatter and slower and my teammates have not basically changed for the last 8 years and will probably not change over the next 20 years. I was chosen as the designated watcher of the new hockey series. I have watched episodes 2 and half of the 3ird (some drunken idiot that was the first out of our Friday night Texas Holdem game tried to set up the WII and stopped the TiVo recording...like I said stereotypical). I think this is enough to at least comment.
IT'S EXTREMELY GIRLY. Footballer's wives was girly as well but the real problem's were actually on the pitch and the secondary problem's were at home, in the bedroom, your teammate’s bedroom ECT. The straw was the re-arranged letters on the paper... Did the writer dot all her I'S on the script with little pink hearts? Where are the other teammates? I need to see some ice. I know it's pricy to shoot on the ice but they do it on Les Boys just up the road every week.
If you’re counting solely on female viewer ship this is how it went down at my house. The remote is similar to the West Bank, in constant dispute with no resolution in sight. If you want a little you have to give a little. Hockey Night in Canada means I have to do crap around the house all day and during the game I might have top paint toenails, give messages, hell really, but it's worth it. She watched MVP with me. I really don't know if she'll be cashing in any chips for this show. Again, my chips are EASY...stereotypical. Yes the rookie is hot; we both loved the small town, smoking, girlfriend taking care of Nan all though the crimped hair is a bit much. We both relate, my hometown has 800 people and her's is smaller...
I would really love for this show to be event television in Canada. I think it could because we are all hockey nuts but it has to have a hockey base. Tension on the ice. On ice problems that get exacerbated by off ice issues. You got me to watch because it was suppose to be about hockey. We have a game tonight and I’m going to say nothing and I'm going to watch next Friday. A few more pink hearts over the I's and I can't even approve even if I like it (no I'm not in touch with my feminine side and that's fine...) I hope miss Crimpy kicks Spoil Biatche's ass, best of luck with the show
