Hockey Widow

As I sit here in the apartment. alone with our two dogs, I wonder...

Is anyone else a hockey/football/baseball/basketball widow? Any season ticket holders wives? Anyone home alone for Valentine's Day? Sure hope not because it s*cks!

Re: Hockey Widow

Another hockey widow here.. actually i was supposed to meet FH at the ranger game, but he called me at 4:40 just as I was about to get on the train and said 'turn on the TV, I think there's a problem at Penn Sta.' Just my luck, had my hair blown out, looked hot and NO TRAINS!!!

Ordered take-out Japanese and my poor sweetie is at the game alone because there was no one around to ask!!!

Re: Hockey Widow

You'd probably be better off talking to my DH. I'm a big Ranger fan and he's the hockey widower!

Do you go to any games with him? If not, give it a shot! It's a lot of fun. I started going to games many years ago because my boyfriend at the time was a season ticket holder.

Where else can you eat greasy fries, drink overpriced beer and cheer for Alexei Kovalev (woo-hoo, he's back!)????

Just keep in mind, your never alone with two pooches. And when you're in love it's Valentine's Day everyday, right??

LOL, ok! I see how it is!
No, tomorrow is our Valentines Day. It's going to be Laurie Day, all day. Puppies are thrilled, I have been playing fetch with Maxie since
i came home. And yes, I heard about about some guy returning to the team. The guys went out to celebrate that night...

Re: Hockey Widow

I am normally a hockey widow 4-5x a week if he isn't at the game or watching the islander games he's playing hockey! I just can't win.. I love to watch him play but not OUTSIDE in 10 degree weather..

Re: Hockey Widow

SS2002 - i AM a big hockey fan. We (he) have season tickets. People laugh when they ask 'so any big plans for Valentine's day?' and I say 'actually we're going to the Garden for a hockey game'. They look at me like they feel sorry for me..but we really enjoy it!

Re: Hockey Widow

We watch the games together at home or go to the games together.
Football he can watch by himself. I have no interest in that.Baseball, we like different teams and root against each other.

Re: Hockey Widow

It didn't turn out to badly after all! He was home by 10.00ish and he is already up, so today is our Valentine's Day!

Re: Hockey Widow

Another hockey widow here. I'm trying to learn the game (after 8 years!!) so we can watch together but for me its' snoozeville unless I'm there watching the game. I wish I could get into it.

Re: Hockey Widow

Im a football widow, it used to **** me off. But I enjoy it now, Sundays are my alone time.

But it is annoying

Re: Hockey Widow

Only ten home games left!!! YAY! We are going to watch an away game together tonight. It's not bad watching it, I actually enjoy it alot. But I don't like it enough to just turn it on and watch it while he is at the game.

Re: Hockey Widow

I'm a hockey/football, widow, and a World Series widow too (baseball is not a necessity until the end of the season).
Most days it doesn't bother me, but every once in a while I feel like screaming 'I'M HERE TOO!! PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'

Re: Hockey Widow

brooke, LOL, I've spent several Valentine's days at MSG

Haven't been to a game all season!!

Does that guy (Larry?) in the blue seats still dance during a time out? We used to sit right below him.

I really, really hope they make the playoffs this year-for a change!
