I didn't know people took off for something like that! But, I'm in the Carolinas, where hockey isn't a big of a deal as it is in other areas.

@Dandelion: big sports town here!!! And because we're so close to the border our biggest rival are the Toronto maple leafs and Montreal Canadians! So it's probably more of a rival thing here.

U-S-A, U-S-A!!! I didn't take off but most people here have TV's in their offices (which are USUALLY tuned in to CNBC) so we can keep an eye on the game.

Our company had to block all sports sites so no one could stream the game...it was killing bandwidth. They have tvs set up in the lunchroom - and ice cream from 2-3pm today
I'm at home, so it's on. Go Canada!

I just went out to lunch with a bunch of co-workers and we went to a sports bar... it was so crowded! Completely full of men who clearly had blown off work to watch the game!

Everyone from DH's office is working from home today (there are only 6 people in his office), supposedly because of bad weather. I have a feeling that watching the game factored heavily in this decision! Go Canada!!!!! There are tv's in our cafeteria, but we aren't allowed to stream the game from our computers.

We're both off today, so we have it on I told my husband I was disappointed he didn't bring home the Molson Canadian since he was at the liquor store yesterday.
I'm still bummed about the women's game yesterday Although I'm disappointed in our women's reaction to losing, they could have been better sports about it.
