Watching a hocky game
On Saturday I was skiing in Tahoe.
Meanwhile the Montreal Canadiens were playing the New Jersey Devils. This was the first time since 1993, the Habs were playing for first in the Eastern Conference. Heck for the first time since 1996, I thought they could realistically beat the New Jersey Devils.
Unfortunately I could not get my cell phone to act as a wireless transmitter for my computer, so I could not listen to the game over the Internet.
So I was forced to watch the game by reading the bulletin boards on www.hfboards.com on my cell phone.
It was an interesting experience. I did not quite see the plays, or hear the plays, but I could follow the plays as they happened. It was like being a blind person at a hockey game with your buddies periodically telling you what was going on.
I have to say the entire experience was a blast. You got the passion, the excitement, the frustration, the thrill of the game even if you missed some of the details. Not sure if I would ever do it again, I still like listening to the play-by-play or watching the game but still in a pinch,
