That one game, played on ice.

So I consider myself to be fairly sports literate. I know schools, teams, athletes, basic stats, the current news.

But today I found myself somewhat lost. At a sporting event. It was weird.

I watched a hockey game. Meaning I tried to track that little black thing as it flew across the ice. Well, maybe it's not quite that bad.

For the most part, I really didn't get much of the strategy or intricacies. Why people were penalized. Stuff like that.

On the plus side, we (meaning the home team) won. 5-4. It was exciting. And I mostly clapped at appropriate times.

Go me.
