Does anyone make Trade Deadine day a personal holliday?
Does anyone else take the day off School, or work? I know this will be my 3rd year straight staying home to watch the deadline day. Of course i have to do the whole fake sick thing and it takes a bit of acting, but i dont get many breaks i can enjoy, and i know Deadline day is MY day. Nobody else in my school get’s it off! Makes me feel good haha. What’s better than chilling out watching TSN (or in my case Sportsnet) and just listening to these major trades going on! It’s really quite a fun thing.

I did it before in like grade 8, but then missing a day’s worth of school made me fall behind as I moved to grade 10. So that’s why I check during lunch at the library computers.
It was great when I had it going. A big bag of chips, and a 6 pack of coke, and sitting infront of Sportsnet. But now since I’m at grade 11, I can’t do that anymore. I have a education to obtain, so I can move to post-secondary.
Trade Deadline Day is almost like Christmas, if you treat hockey like a religion, which I do =)
I don’t officially take the day off from work but I might as well. I spend so much time at work watching TSN.com, NHL.com, emailing, texting and im’ing, I don’t get much serious work done on that ONE DAY each year. Most of the time I’m working 45+ hours each week, full-throttle so I don’t feel bad aboot it one bit.

Oh LOL… you actually take a day off! Aha I don’t know why I’m laughing because I’m the one who rushes home at lunch time to see who gets traded and who’s coming to town! I’m not so good at the faking sick so I always end up going to school! But I have a feeling for the Leafs this year it should be a Holiday! LOL
BTW Chris what did you think of our last game? Pogge?

I don’t but those weeks leading up to it as everything is flying by I do get lost in the mix for sure. I actually came around these parts right around the deadline last year. Between all of the different web sites and NHL network It’s hockey up the wazoo for a few weeks around here. Every time a TV is turned on there is something "Hockey" on it waiting for the next story. Like a stockbroker or horse betting guy it’s ridiculous.

Oh, to be young again…..
The only thing that would keep me home from work would have to be 5′10" tall, slender, blonde, and wearing some Daisy Dukes…..

Forgive me, I must confess.
I have a red circle around the day. I try to not travel that week (with it falling on a Tuesday it kind of blows up the entire week), and I try to not schedule any long meetings (although I am trying to shoehorn a Wed/Thu work trip down to Washington; one of our larger clients is in the DC area, and the Leafs are in town to play the Capitals on the Thursday).
I listen to TSN (can’t watch at work), and work that way (usually brown bag my lunch so I can just eat in my office).

I do come to work, but pretty much keep hitting the refresh button on the "trade tracker" that the NHL provides on their website. It makes me wonder if hockey can be an addiction.
