transfers instead of trades. cubbies instead of stalls. split checks instead of normal cheques. a 3rd quarter. wearing beanies. wearing clothes and not base layers. apparently not wearing a cup or jock. not showering after practice or a game, or going from the room with their stalls to the room with their real clothes. not actually going done the tunnel during intermission but everyone staying on the bench. canadians with tivos. 17 year old rookies. being on a road trip for “months”. the season being 10 month without reference to the playoffs. divisional or conference rivals playing against each other for the stanley cup. players taking cabs to the airport instead of the team bus. teams flying commercial instead of on the team plane.
