>>I have sat here for several minutes trying to find the words to explain why we Canadians are so in love with this game, but in the end, I could not dredge them up.<<
i know, you canucks can't hit a consistent jumper from 18 feet out ;-)
earlie, i hear ya. i'm not a hockey fan, but i respect wayne for his fire. the same kind of fire that michael jordan, larry bird and magic johnson possessed (pssst, guess what sport i enjoy... ;-)
i loved magic (so unselfish, very productive and still stylish), grew to acknowledge mj as the best ever (by a lot, not a little) and hated larry bird (but respect his intensity - he was great). then again, i was a laker fan for some context.
that fire, that passion is a thing of wonder, be it in an athletic event or anywhere else.
folks like mj and wayne won games before they even played them.
it is amazing and i miss that kind of magic in the nba. i suspect you will miss wayne's magic in the nhl.
