Am I too addicted to hockey?

I mean I used the Marleau hit to make my wife feel better about the car accident she go into this morning.

"At least you don't look as bad as Marleau after he got hit by Sarich," I said. Do I need a life, or is hockey all I need?

Update:

My wife watched the game with me.

She has a nasty cut across her nose and cheek, but at least she doesn't have stitches, glassy eyes and blood dripping down her face.

Update 2:

Nah, Liz wasn't mad at me. She though it was funny.

Nobody can deny that Marleau looked absolutely horrible right after the Sarich hit.

She's fine. She just needs some rest. Our car on the other hand... It'll take more than a month's pay just to reset the airbags...

    The question is... did your wife have any clue what you were talking about?

    If Yes, No you're not too addicted

    If No, well, the season's almost over, so a break is on it's way

    It is categorically impossible to be too addicted to hockey. The real question is "Are you addicted enough?" What if the Marleau example had not been enough to make her feel better? You need to have more examples for her just in case. I recommend watching the Don Cherry Rock'em Sock'em collection for research purposes.

    Haha, I feel like a total dork sometimes when I throw some hockey references out during certain situations to a particular friend of mine. She's even as much of a hockey fan as I am.

    I hope your wife's okay though! Even when car accidents don't physically injure you, it's sometimes a different story mentally and financially! Best of luck to you two! :)

    At least you didn't try to comfort a blind person by saying "yeah I know how you feel; just like Marty Brodeur does when he plays against Avery". It didn't go over so well
