I just learned something new about myself Wednesday. I like hockey. A lot.
Wednesday night I went to my very first Wild game. It was so exciting! You can just feel all the adrenaline pulsing in that ginormous place. It is sooo much more interesting than golf. You get to scream for your team when they score a goal, and you get to scream at the other team no matter what they do! And if that wasn’t enough to scream about, Bertuzzi was playing on the opposing team which got everyone even more riled up!
It was an awesome game. 6-zip? Oh, yeah, we beat their butts into the ice. And Bouchard’s penalty shot? Cloutier didn’t even see it coming. Sieve! Sieve! Sieve! What a way to kill their confidence! I wish that it could’ve lasted.
Let’s see… Wednesday’s game, I was there, and they won. Tonight, I wasn’t there, and they lost.
Am I the only one who sees a pattern here?
Anyway, I can’t wait to be able to go again. Screaming is way fun!
I was at that game as well. Definitely an awesome game. Although I thought their skating was a little off.
So far the Wild have won every game I’ve attended this year as well, including pre-season.
Attending a game at the Xcel Center is definitely a good time. Even if you aren’t particularely a Wild fan. It’s hard not to get sucked into the fan energy.
Not sure where your seats were, and there really isn’t a bad seat in the arena. However, I would highly recommend sitting in the club level at least once…it’s expensive, but it’s very nice.
I would offer to take you to a game, but
A) You have no idea who I am.
2) I think that would knock about 20 years off your father’s life, because he does know who I am. 🙂
Kevin, I MIGHT let you live if you let me have a chance to buy any Wild tickets you find you can’t use.
You’re assertion in a previous comment to the Mall Diva that I am made of money is inaccurate, but I do tend to indulge my children, and I like hockey, too.
LOL, somehow I highly doubt I’ll have extras but if I do I will let you know.
If you want tickets you have other options though too. First if you want to buy them, I’m a season ticket holder so I have more options for buying additional tickets if you need.
Howver, I would highly recommend just showing up at the Xcel one night. There are ALWAYS people out front selling tickets. Most of the time you can get a pretty good deal…or at most you’ll pay full price.
But alot of time, especially in bad weather (read : Cold!), you can get a good deal. Once I got $80 Club level seats for $35 a piece. They were great.
Let me know if you are going to a game sometime.
