I AM GETTING EXCITED!  Like Jesse Spano-on-pills excited.  Less than two weeks until hockey starts and I should warn you:  I may go this entire season using only gifs from Sherlock. I am laaaaaaaaaaate to this fandom but it really explains Life, the Universe, and Everything.  (Double Martin Freeman nerd-reference there, for anyone still with me.)

When hockey comes back in October, demanding all our time:

How I feel about 99% of social media in-season:

And the rest of the media:

Friends who don’t follow hockey but still try to read this blog:

When Cosmo does a list of hottest players:

When someone writes a bullshit “Girls Guide to Hockey”-type article:

Movember:

When Sid scores on the next shift:

Watching Blackhawks TV and a coworker passes your desk:

Trade deadline:

When your team gives up a late goal:

When your team wins:

When your team loses:

When Mr. Pants tells me to calm down because it’s just a game:

When you swear you’re never watching hockey again:

Chuck and I, everyday:

I could go on – and I will, promise.  I may expand into other Benedict Cumberbatch and/or Martin Freeman projects and I reserve the right to claim anything produced by the BBC as fair game.  But mostly Sherlock.  Watch it now (while you have time) and I promise this will all be much funnier to you later.
