Rookie

Long story short: After two decades of not really understanding it, Erica (aka Rookie) gave in to one of the best things about being a Montrealer: the Canadiens. She'd been a rabid TV fan for years before, which explains why she might on occasion compare hockey to TV. Hockey fans and TV fans are from two different worlds. It's an interesting line to walk, but Rookie's trying to give you the best of both worlds.

I’m a Hockey Fan, I Don’t Read Cosmo

Sorry to disappoint, but I wouldn’t even read Cosmo if I was bored in a waiting room with nothing else to read.

By Rookie, AllHabs.net MONTREAL, QC. – The new year seems to be shaping up pretty nicely for the Montreal Canadiens. Like me, they decided to bid good riddance to the year that was 2011 and start fresh. They most definitely did. Tensions have been running high among Habs fans for a while now, and for good [...]
