Because it's the Cup Pt 1: While The Men Watch Hockey Night

cbc.ca — A year ago, we would have rather spent the afternoon lingerie shopping with our mother-in-laws than watch a hockey game. You should really meet our mother-in-laws for full effect, but that's a whole other blog. As two women married to sports fanatics, there was really no escaping hockey on TV - especially during playoffs.
