Actual conversation with my wife who, until we got together 8 years ago knew absolutely nothing about hockey and who "pretends" to not be as interested in it as I am. She claims to be a Pens fan and really likes Geno, so she's obviously got some things to learn
Me: So your Pens are out and my Avs are out, who are we gonna cheer for?
Nikki: Not sure, but I was thinking the Rangers.
Me: Oh yeah? Why?
Nikki: So that one Staal brother doesn't feel bad around his brothers anymore.
Me: Wait... how do you know--
Nikki: Duh. The one brother got the Cup with the Hurricanes while we were dating, and Jordan Staal got it with the Penguins. So there's one on the Rangers too, right? He should get one.
Me: <grabs condom>
Needless to say, proud moment for this guy. Regardless of her reasoning, the fact that my wife knows who players are and other interesting factoids about them is tremendously hot.
