You're so lucky you get to watch so much hockey! :) TD BankNorth Garden is a walk and a train ride away from me, but *sacrilege* I'm not a Bruins fan so I've only seen one game (they lost to the Maple Leafs, harharhar). My aunt said she'd like to take me to watch a Rangers game in MSG someday, though, so yay!
How did I get into hockey? Believe it or not, it all started with Disney's The Mighty Ducks movie. I loved the contact of it. After that, I followed the 1993-94 playoffs when the Rangers won the Stanley Cup in a 7-game series and there was no looking back! Too bad ESPN stopped airing NHL games several years ago. I feel my enthusiasm for the sport and my teams kind of dampened because I couldn't watch any games.
Funny story: last month, Canada hosted the World Junior Hockey championships. Naturally, since Canada is "the first nation of hockey" and their team was gunning for its fifth straight gold medal, everyone was following it. I flew from Toronto to Vancouver (via Air Canada) on the day of the final against Sweden, and during the flight the pilot was giving period-by-period updates for passengers who naturally couldn't watch the game :D Just as we landed, the pilot gave us the happy news that Canada had won the gold once again.
