Excitement

I’m not going to just include it because it would be weird, but I did film my reaction to the Leafs drafting Liljegren and it got a little out of hand.

Like a little too much out of hand.

I won’t lie, when they made the playoffs this past year, I went streaking in Virginia.

That happened.

In the end, I more so remembered how to have fun with hockey again last night.

You know?

Just enjoy it because it’s supposed to be exciting, it’s supposed to bring you out of your seat.

A wise old man once said, “Gordon, it’s just a game.”

Any guesses as to who said that?

Ya, I’ll just let you figure that one out.

Cough, Hans.

What a beauty.
