I like to get a Coke or, for colder days, some hot tea--Earl Grey's my favorite--and I also like to try and keep score for the game as well... But the thing about hockey is, I can't READ while watching, which I love to do with baseball (and I'm an English major, so I LOVE reading...just finished D.H, Lawrence's Lady Chatterly's Lover, excellent book, Lawrence is the best modern English novelist this side of Orwell!)  What about everone else? Favorite snacks, drinks...and am I the only one who keeps score? |

Beer Beer and more Beer... if I don't have beer, then I go buy beer instead.
what do you mean keep score?
edit: colder days? you don't know colder days my friend.

It used to be a big bag of chips (maybe dip) and couple cans of ice cold coke (I'm not a big drinker). But since a recent trip to the doctor it's Veggie straws from Cosco and ice cold Coke Zero. During intermission a game of mini hockey sticks with my boy. |

One one side of a WordDoc, I have a picture of an NHL rink, and on the other side boxes for a team's lineup, and then below that another set of boxes to denote goals--which team, who scored, and the assists--and then a final period-by-period set of boxes at the bottom. And probably true, lol...it's still in the 70s or 80s easily here...hotter at mid-day, probably... "Cold" for my area's in the 40s to 20s, with MAYBE two or three days worth of snow on a particularly cold year (I remember we got such snow for the last day before Xmas break my senior year in high school...it was hilarious, NONE of the theatre girls I was friends with knew how to dress for it and were freezing INDOORS, while all the guys were outside trying to have a snowball fight and a football game...and failing miserably at both. Aaaaah California...)  |

If the first game was any indication, my home games will be spent extracting and re-inserting my generously sized rump out of and into the marquis de sade model aisle seat I have for my ST's. I'm loving the seats but didn't realized how often I'd have to get up to let people in and out of the row. At one point I just sat on the stairs - now THAT was comfortable.
Away games? I will be continuing a tradition I started with my wife when we got married. I used to get "you're watching ANOTHER football game?" at least three times per weekend. Then I offered to rub her feet during the games.
Now what I get is "when's the next football game?" and "42 away games a season? Cool!"
I'm a big believer in positive reinforcement.

During intermission a game of mini hockey sticks with my boy. What's "a game of mini hockey sticks?" Playing hockey with a small ball or puck usually in the basement with small plastic or wood hockey sticks, look like this www.proteamselect.com/ministicks.htmlI'm currently training for the full marathon thus my snacking options are somewhat un fun but when I decide to say eff it and indulge I like to go with some wings, chips and soup mix dip. Can never go wrong with nachos either. Then lots of beer  |

Hey, those little sticks are cool! We should have some sort of on-site drinking game for games... |

I generally end up screaming at the tv for 3 hours, interupted by a couple high fives!

It's not the calories, it's the sugar. Glucose was a high. Its all good! |

So are there going to be Live Game threads here for games, or will the Chat Room be populated?
