Hockey Fights Cancer
As it seems, my competitive ways have landed me into some trouble again — this time with rival Bruins fans. Why subject myself to their arrogance, bullying and ultimately insecure ways you wonder? For charity, of course!
In honor of friendly competition, an age-old rivalry and shenanigans, Sarah Connors and I have settled on a wager that involves hockey, a tweetup, a great cause, an upcoming trip to Boston and of course some silliness.
Here’s how it’ll work:
On January 1, 2010 Sarah and I will both be at the Winter Classic Tweetup in Boston.
On November 5, 2009 I will be in Boston for the Habs-Bruins game.
If, during this game, the Habs beat the Bruins, Sarah will bravely wear a Habs jersey during the Winter Classic in Boston. I will arrange a poll to determine whose number will be more humiliating for her to wear; I’m thinking Price or O’Byrne.
If, however, the Bruins beat the Habs, I will wear a Bruins jersey to the Winter Classic Tweetup and you can bet there will be tons of pictures circulating to further haunt me.
Then, the winning jersey will be raffled off to one of our tormentors fans.
Here is where you can bid on the jersey NOW! All proceeds will go to Hockey Fights Cancer!
If you love hockey and would like to see either Sarah or me be humiliated (all in good fun!), please participate!

May the best team win!

I think the tweetup should be majority Habs fans. That would be LOVELY! #gohabsgo
