Lets Try Some Hockey

On draft day my current favorite player, Alex Tanguay, was traded from Calgary to Montreal. This was both a good thing and a bad thing. It's good because he's a native of Quebec and playing for the Canadians is probably a dream come true. Not to mention they are just a great franchise. And they are my favorite eastern coference team.

It was a bad thing because he's now in the eastern conference which means I won't have very many chances to see him play. Playing for Calgary he played my hometown team the Colorado Avalanche several times a year.

However, I am extremely happy that he is no longer with Calgary now that they have signed Todd Bertuzzi. I guess they decided to thug it up this season. As an Avs fan there is a clear reason for my dislike of Bertuzzi. I didn't think much of him before that incident either. I doubt it would have been the most pleasant feeling in the locker room had they been on the same team.

I'll take not getting to see Alex play as much over him ever having to possibly play on a line with Bertuzzi.
