I’ve only been to about ten NHL games in my life;
most in the three years we’ve been down in Texas and a couple in the
40+ years I lived up in New Jersey. Even though I don’t go often, when I do go
it’s usually eventful. One memorable game was the start of my brother’s
bachelor party in 1997. At another I sat a few rows behind the Rangers bench and caught
a puck. It flopped over the plexiglass literally right into my jacket. So many
hands assaulted me I thought I was pickpocketed for a moment.
Anyway, the wife is a networker, and when she networks
she gets stuff. One company looking to do business with her offered us front
row seats right on the ice. Along with VIP passes. For Game One of the first
series of the playoffs. We instantaneously said “Yes!” So though it was a tough
loss for the Dallas Stars, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, ate and drank pretty
darn good for free in the VIP longue in the depths of the arena, got our
playoff towels, and even made it on to TV.
The Stars lost again at home Wednesday, putting us in
an unfortunate 0-2 deficit against the Knights. The away game in Vegas is
tonight, but since it’s late we’ll watch it tomorrow morning. The Stars had a
pretty dominant regular season, winning their division with multiple offensive weapons and an All-Star
goalie, that it would be a shame to be sent home after the first series in the
hunt for the Stanley Cup.
Here’s some pics from Monday’s game:
