I had a beer from Star Hill last night. Only one beer at a hockey game? It’s so I didn’t have to get up and disturb the natives. The natives were restless and rowdy.
There were two fights within the first 10 seconds of the game. The first one happened during the face-off. The ‘Gades lost. Not surprising because they played like crap until the third period. Not sure, but I think the officials screwed Richmond.
I’ve never been able to get into hockey, but I did go to a game once when we lived up in Rochester NY. The team was known as the Rochester Americans and were called the Amercs for short. We went to a game when Ronald Reagan was there campaigning/ speaking and he botched the name of the team. Forever after, we called then the “Mercs. Leave it to Ronnie to mess up the name “Americans”!
I preferred the Zamboni to the game, truthfully.
I have to admit that I know practically nothing about hockey and we only see one game a year. There were several times during the game where I didn’t understand a call.
It was the first game I’ve been to where they’ve broken one of the glass panels. They ended the 2nd period early so they could replace it.
The Zamboni is one of my favorite things too.
