Tokii Puts Our Sports Obsessions into Perspective!
Ever since Meatloaf Used the “Stealing Home Base” metaphor in Paradise By the Dashboard Light, the only sport anybody can ever equate with “Doing the Nasty” has been slow, boring baseball.
Not me, Not this guy. You want to talk about love and love makin’, you want to talk about getting married and gettin’ down, then you look no further than the coolest sport on ice.
For the uninitiated, It’s just like Basketball, only 3X as fast, there’s all kinds of body checking, and everybody walks on knives.
Far Out. Now Listen, Hockey is the all-encompassing sports metaphor for relationships. I called it, it’s done.
Why you ask? Ok, let me walk you through a relationship as seen through the hockey lens.
You lock eyes across the room; you make your move through some people and you’re on a breakaway for the girl/guy of your dreams.
You show off your fancy stick work, you shoot, and you score (once you get a little more comfortable you might even go upstairs for a video replay).
As the relationship progresses, you have to be careful not to go “Offside” by putting yourself ahead of the puck, and if you really mess up you’re headed for the penalty box. Two minutes for interference, fighting, or unsportsmanlike conduct. Or you could just spend an entire day playing NHL ’12 with your buddies online and get ejected from the game (as we’ve so admirably demonstrated in our video here!)
Contract negotiations with your franchise player can get tough, but you have to give a little to get a little, and if you want to wear the ring and hoist the cup, you’re going to have to put in a “no-trade” clause.
For the longest time, Hockey’s been a dividing force in my marriage, time spent watching the game, tinkering with my fantasy teams, lugging extremely pungent goalie equipment in and out of the basement. Frankly, it’s about time it’s started to pay off! So honey, I’m coming home soon, so let’s sit down to some Sportsnet as a couple! No? How about wearing my jersey to bed? Now we’re talking!
We at Tokii are all about getting couples to communicate their interests and passions, and using them to find common ground, and making their relationships better and better. Whether it’s movies, wine, exercise, sex, or even sports.
Tokii.com is getting couples closer. We’ve Made up Two Free Hockey Specific DiscoveryGames for our members: All About Hockey and Ready For Hockey. They’re designed to find out just how much you knowabout the game, and just how much of your life it’s taken over!
Hockey, like romance, breaks down to fundamentals, communication, hard work and practice. So lets keep our heads up out there, and most important, keep your stick on the ice!
