It's about time.

I have been a good sport for the past few months, politely watching other sports with my friends. Don't get me wrong, it's great to see the Hawks again. But the massive letdown of the Mariners this year and my decision to forget that Washington State plays football has lead to a boring few months sports wise for me.

Until now.

I am one of the silent minority of die-hard hockey fans. No, I'm not Canadian. And I don't have an accent straight out of Fargo. I just am knowledgeable enough to understand that hockey is the best sport. And it deserves much more attention.

As I settle into my permanent home of Tacoma, ready to don my Calgary Flames sweater and watch hockey, I ask those special few out there: Where is the best place to watch hockey? Is there a restaurant or watering hole out there with people who know the difference between slashing and spearing?

Or am I alone? Am I the only one who watches Versus for something other than hunting and second-rate college football?
