My friend is a hockey NUT

[plaster8]

But I didn't realize it was THIS intense. He sent a group of our buddies this e-mail today:

I've completed my annual analysis of the upcoming NHL Saturday night schedule. Among the 25 Saturdays during the upcoming season, 12 stand out and three really shine.

All Saturdays were rated based on the prevalence of a series of positive factors.

— Original six matchups
— Toronto/Montreal matchups, particularly if at Montreal
— Edmonton home games, particularly if against Vancouver or Calgary
— Afternoon games featuring matchups between traditonal hockey markets, particularly if Boston is involved, providing opportunities for games in as many as four consecutive three-hour time slots.
— The inclusion of a 7:30 p.m. Kings game vs. a traditional hockey market, allowing one final period of hockey following the conclusion of the late CBC game.

And so on ...

I really like hockey, but I can't imagine being this into ANY sport.
