Serious hockey fans / Pens take the ice ~ Montreal, CA • click to embiggenYou know that someone is a serious hockey fan when they drive to another country, get into the rink an hour and a half before the start of the game (fr., le match) so that they can get down to the locker room runway and get a front row position and stand patiently for an hour or so so that they can get a picture of a hockey heart throb.
As you may have deduced by now, that serious hockey fan (albeit, primarily Pittsburgh Penguins' hockey) would be me making of picture of that other (the wife) serious hockey fan's hockey heart throb - # 25, Max Talbot.
