Jon B. Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 MacKenzie and I were talking off line about the first game where Team Canada beat the US team. We talked about what a great game it was. We knew the championship match would be a close one and tried to have some fun with the BBQ betting. I know we both wish the game would have ended in regulation or overtime play, instead of coming down to a shoot out. Just our personal preferences. It was interesting to see the different ideas forum members had on the format. Have to say...............I learned a few things. Tried to let her off the hook on the bet......but she would have no part of that. In fact she said she had something "special" in mind. I think I should be scared !!!! Too much fun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I had never watched hockey in my life before but, because MacKenzie tipped me off about the bet I was up at 5am watching it in the UK, willing the Canadian women on. What a fun match to watch. The end reminded me of a very long tennis match where the players match each other blow for blow until, with one small mistake, the other player gets on top and wins. Big deflation if it's not your player but a spectacle nonetheless. I was sad for the Canadians but what a lucky break for Jon B. Can't wait to see what his surprise package holds. And yes, don't mess with MacKenzie. As Arnie said, she'll be back! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Tekobo, you couldn't have watched a better game for your first. I'm glad you enjoyed it, what a way to start the day, 5 AM and it's hockey time or was it the end of the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Well, whatever time of day it is, watching sport needs to be accompanied by food and an adult beverage. Let's just say that snooze in the sun in the afternoon might have had more to do with the Cornish cider than the fact I had had an early start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonj Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I'm very familiar with the "beer nap" but am now aware of the "cider snooze"... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
