While we were in Vancouver, we stopped at a bar before we went out for dinner. We sat next to two rather intoxicated young men, one of which insisted that instead of moving his coat, Derek should sit on it.....okayyyyy. Whatever.
After a few minutes of sitting there, Derek and one of the guys started chatting and Derek discovered that he is a hockey player for the Chicago Blackhawks, they were in town to play the Vancouver Canucks. Now, let me preface this by saying that neither Derek or myself know anything about hockey (even though Derek was named after a hockey player). So we chatted with that guy for a little while, he was very nice, but again, very intoxicated. Then he got up to use the restroom and we look at his friend and say "so do you play hockey too?", this seemed an innocent question, the guy looks at us and says "no, I am just this guys buddy". When the other guy returned from the restroom we talked some more and he starts to tell us how great of a hockey player the guy sitting next to him is. Turns out his name (the guy who said he didn't play hockey) is Patrick Kane, he was the first overall draft pick in 2007 and started in the NHL allstar game this year, he is his teams leading scorer. "DO YOU PLAY HOCKEY????" Derek and I felt like such idiots. It is like asking Michael Jordan "do you play basketball?" we felt a little on the stupid side to say the least. The other guy we were talking to was Dustin Byfuglien, not nearly as impressive...lol.
Bottom line is we went to Canada and met some famous hockey players...not bad eh?
