It all comes down to tomorrow night. Part of me believes that we'll win tomorrow..after that I don't know. I don't see use getting eliminated at home & I'm expecting a huge game from Price. I'm having the girls over for a Girls Night to get away from our piles of homework and be stress free for at least one night. Hopefully our season doesn't end tomorrow because that would definitely be a huge downer on the evening.
I had to deal with a real jerk today. As a girl who watches hockey..and is actually insanely knowledgeable about the sport..I've had to deal with a lot of guys who can't seem to accept the fact that girls DO watch sports. I can't even say how many times I've had people say, "Wow..you know a hell of a lot..FOR A GIRL" or my personal favorite. "You sure know what you're talking about...I thought you'd just be watching for the guys." I've learned to deal with remarks like that because I know that I can argue the hell out of any subject involving hockey just as well as any guy out there. Well today I had to hold back big time from telling off a customer. I'm generally a very patient person and non-confrontational but when someone makes a comment like the guy did today..I lose it. I was standing at my cash talking with some girl who told me that she had been a huge Habs fan for years now. Well this guy walks in, a huge Boston fan, and gets involved in our conversation. He goes "Habs are going to lose. Better deal with it" and she goes "We've come back before. We can do it again." and he goes "You habs fans don't know how to deal with loss. You're the worst fans in the world" and she responds with "We can handle loss...but we haven't lost yet so why do I have to stop believing?" Anyways, she told him off a little bit more and then left. Then the asshole turns to me and goes "What the fuck does she know?! She's probably been watching it for like a month." I almost knocked him out. It took EVERYTHING in my being to hold back from leaning across the counter and smashing his head in. If that had been a guy instead of a girl I guarantee he would never have made that comment. Some of these guys are such ignorant pigs. I understand that there's a good handful of girls that DO watch it just for the guys..or just to attract guys by pretending they know what's going on..but then you have a good handful of those of us who know exactly what's going on and who are JUST as passionate as the next guy. UGHHH. /end rant
