Yeah, it's not like you haven't been at least peripherally aware of my recent due South obsession. That's definitely part of it. I just finished watching the complete series, and then watched two dS documentaries which can be found on youtube ("Ride Forever" and "Southbound") as well as the 10-minute blooper reel. Which is pretty amazing.
( spoilery thoughts )
That all was probably not as coherent as it could have been. And despite my select disappointments, I absolutely love the characters of Fraser, RayV and RayK, and am really pleased that there is such depth to work with, and to ponder.
So, I've also been reading Theo Fleury's "tell-all", Playing with Fire. It's sad (re the Graham James scandal, plus Fleury's substance abuse) but also exciting and a really fascinating glimpse into life in the NHL.
Liz and I were lucky enough to see Fleury in practice once when he was with the Rangers -- I vividly remember -- even in practice, the guy was just full of energy and stood out on the ice.
Despite Fleury's comment about Avery being a "classless bum", I can't help but associate them in my mind. Seeing Avery play when he was first traded to the Rangers was like seeing that compressed energy return.
If anyone is interested in borrowing Fleury's book (once I'm done with it), just let me know. =D
