Hockey Day in Berlin

We managed to tap into CBC's live broadcast of Hockey Day in Canada last night, what a treat! Up until now the games have been on too late (6 hour time difference) or we haven't been able to access the feed, something to do with international blah blah blah.Luke was a champ though and managed to tap into it though the Mcgill website with a friend's student i.d. He hooked it up to the projector and we watched it on the big screen like the good old days in Montreal (complete with comfy pants ).

It's difficult to tell from the pictures, but because we were watching it on the projector, passersby could see it from our storefront window. This picture is actually the view from outside (Can you see Guy?). Our Australian roommates got a kick out of it and kept asking where the ball was. They also loved the cheesy Canadian t.v ads about a part of our heritage. I have to say, I was a bit nostalgic myself, seeing the ol' Tim Horton ads.

It was a great game on my favourite day of the year "Hockey Day in Canada". Charles Prévost sang the anthem, there were a few good brawls and best of all, we won. (Second only to Sundin beating the leafs in shootout). Now I know I haven't been the best fan while I've been here, it's been easy for me to ignore the poor performance of les boys without easy access to the games. I've even stopped checking the website regularly for fear of another loss. But last night, after seeing live NHL once more, I am back to being a hardcore (if they win) Montreal Canadiens fan. Go Habs Go.
