A little more on hockey

Just thought I would say that I have yet to see a Leafs game this season where Gill has not been at least mostly responsible for a goal.
I'm sure I've mentioned this before ... unfortunately, it still holds true. To be fair, I haven't been able to watch all of their games, but still ...
Other than that, from what I've seen lately, I've enjoyed watching them play and haven't been too frustrated. There's been a lot of talk about needing to change the icing rule to no-touch. I think this would have its good side and bad side. Good side would obviously be avoiding the injuries that occur. Bad side would be if guys were skating slowing back pretending they couldn't get to it before it crossed the line, or not really trying to stop it from heading down the ice when they know it's going to be icing against the other team. And I think having the race for the puck can be great, especially when the team that iced it gets there first. It can make for some interesting changes in momentum if you win the race and end up keeping it down in their zone for a while. I guess really I'm saying it would depend on how it's called.
Anyway, the Canucks won tonight, and the Spitfires won 5-3 tonight (I scored 2 goals, Julie got a hat trick, and Jen was great in net!), so all in all a good Sunday. :)
Yay for getting up at 5:30am tomorrow to leave for the ski trip. I guess I should be getting to sleep soon ...
