My husband and I cheer for different teams. We can agree on deep theological things, we cannot agree on hockey teams. But both our teams made it to the playoffs. For which we are thankful. My husband forbids me to cheer for his team, when I do they have a statistically higher shot of losing...honestly...I was a statistics geek and I can prove it...the losing thing, not the geek thing. Anyhow, our teams will only play against each other if both make it to the finals, and history tells us that one of them is bound to mess up long before that.
And if you are all wondering about the hockey fans acting weird suddenly, there is a great explanation on nhl.com here! If you know a hockey fan, you will enjoy it.
Why to I post this here? After all, this is mostly a blog about being a wife, mom and homemaker.
Well, in Canada it is a parent's patriotic duty to provide good hockey instruction, our kids learn to skate shortly after they can walk steadily, as in usually in the first winter after they turn 2, with lots of help, knee pads and a helmet. And if a date takes you to a hockey game, that is a very nice date.
Also, women in Canada usually love hockey as much as the men and host a lot of watch parties for the playoffs, and that means pulling out our best recipes, and matching them to the teams and team colors as much as possible! (No, really, I am not kidding).
Plus, if your family cheers for different teams it can get very competitive, in a fun way, to see whose team makes it the furthest. (And you will be eating proverbial dirt if your team is out first!)
So around here we are gearing up! And if one of our teams make it to the finals you better believe I will be planning special meals for each night they play as we all glue ourselves to watch! (And making cake with color coordinated icing....ooh, I think I even have sprinkles to match Mr. Pear's team colors!)

Good luck to both of your teams! Our's (Dallas Stars) didn't make it this year so there is no one for us to rally behind. We are looking forward to next year though!
