RK: knowing Wendy as I do, she is kidding about the romantic overtones....she is a writer, after all, so she throws in funny stuff to make people laugh. I think she tries to have her posts be just a little different, that's all. It's more self-mocking, making fun of herself than anything, but she is willing to say it to get a laugh. Most people can read the humor there, but I get that tone is sorta hard to come by in a blog posting.
Good to you there's another Sharks fan on here, BTW....that was when we start rockin' this season, I can gloat with you, then cry with you when we blow it in the playoffs again. I love my Sharks, but that was disappointing last season!!
Blueline: Ya, the Sharks were a bit disappointing, but the Pens winning healed the wound up pretty quickly. Plus them taking down the Red Wings in the process made everything happy in the hockey world.
Wendy: You can't do too ridiculous of a long-term contract to get around the rules or else the NHL will make a big stink about investigating you, then won't ever say anything about it again ;)
