Talk to the Goat
Leafs fans and Senators fans holding hands, you've brought a tear to me eye! 
And yeah, if we could all just be naked, then sports rivalries and other nationalist bugaboos might be a thing of the past.
Not sure that I would call a 16 year old rivalry legendary, but it does usually make for great games.
Still, I'll take a Leafs/Habs match over it any day.
Living proof that pretty chicks can get away with damn near anything. Glad there was no bloodshed. I got punched in the mouth by a drunk old lady at a Phillies game once and we were on the same side!
hmm, i'm not sure if this Flyers fan could date a Pens fan
He didn't bat an eye at a mini-skirt and boots? He needs to think hockey a little less.
Nicely writ, as usual.
I've never dated a woman passionate about sports. Then I married one who likes the same teams I do, and avoided any potential disasters.
May you continue to stay safe both in and away from the sports arenas.
My boyfriend cheers for all the wrong teams. It's okay though. I kind of love him.
Hockey...that's that game with the sticks right? The one that's not baseball?
Ah, it should be written on the ice of a glacier and stored for millenia, the fact that love (or something like that) can overcome the harshest of prejudices.
Darn global warming.
I dont watch hockey but we do watch football but that will end Feb 9th.09 when the tv's go Digital.. I dont know if we will get cable at that point or not.. But glad you had fun in all ways...
Two minutes in the penalty box for being a Leafs slappy.
GO WINGS!
Well done Jay. I'm not sure if this was your goal, but this piece certainly underscores the need for human rights for all, from your title to you each showing loyalty to different teams. If only it were that easy for couples of all types/genders/nationalities/etc to be given freedom in our world, not judgment.
this gives me the warm fuzzies. cute and well written.
Welcome back. You've been gone too long.
What, you mean like biting tongues?
i've got four different types of fans in my home, but we still cheer for our home town team whenever we can. mostly from our home, the price of beer is one thing, it's the price of those tickets, ouch!
We have the same rivalry here in Alberta between the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary *bleh* Flames. 
You go girl. So did you say "yes"? 
oh my dear, the differences between you two is the main reason the jerseys ended up on the floor
If you go outside afterward for a quick smoke of breath of fresh air do you ever swap jerseys? Just think of all the fun games you could come up with then......
Proof that mixed relationships actually can work.
Possible next step: peace in the Middle East! Go, Goat!
Your writing tastes like the first sip of coffee on a wet, blistery morning. Mmmm....
Missed you.
It's a magical, magical tale.
I'm so glad you could rip your differences of each other's backs and get down to bidness. Rowr.
You are amazing! At one moment you are causing a riot and a few minutes later you're giving someone hope for world peace
Can a UN post be far off?
You go girl!
Awww. What a cute and happy ending.
And now I know how to get proposed to I guess, lol.
That is a great entry. My boy and I are both Canadiens fans, but with a fondness for the Leafs. However, seeing as we're both from the US, we get a lot of questions along the lines of "what baseball team is your hat from?".
By the way, I stumbled pretty randomly upon your blog, and you seem rather interesting, and a good writer. Would if be okay if I added you to my blogroll?
Now if that could only happen between a Flames and Oiler fan.
Yes, my dear, I was there too. My section in the lower nosebleeds was nicely mixed between the red and blue.
I noticed several inter-team couples in the audience. One was sitting if front of me, another were holding hands on the way out.
A good hockey rivalry is one thing, but, in the end it is just hockey. A game meant to be enjoyed by all, not the cause of fights because this one support that team and that one supports the other. That's taking it too far.
