If I had my wife here, and my adorable kids, my parents, my in-laws, my buddies, a guy who’s selling handing out free hot dogs, a pack of new sticks, and pucks, and a vintage Karhu-Kissat sweater, and another guy who’s handing out drinks, if Kirk McLean was here to stop try to stop my shots, and Wayne Gretzky to feed those passes to my tape, and if my VacuTacks were brand new, this would have been perfect.

But a skating rink in downtown Helsinki, with the sun shining, and temperature just perfectly freezing, is pretty good as it is.
