There we were tonight, watching Hockey Night in Canada, just like we had done many years ago. And the Canadians were playing the Maple Leafs too. Once again, Montreal beat Toronto. But there the similarities changed. We were watching on the NHL channel not the CBC and we were watching from our home in Mississippi.
Once upon a time, we had no television. We could not afford either the money or time to watch TV, so most Saturday nights we went to Don and Doreen's apartment to watch the last two periods of the game. That was all that was shown on TV at that time. And it was the only game on TV all week. Now I could watch a hockey game every night of the week. And half the games are being played in the south.
Ken commented to Suzanne, that when he was a young man, it never occurred to him that he would ever live in Mississippi. I agreed. Also neither of us dreamt that our home team would be the Nashville Predators. Times change. But somethings stay the same. Hockey Night in Canada was just as enjoyable tonight as it was 60 years ago.
