The Stanley Cup Playoffs!

What a night!
Last Friday Dan surprised me last minute and he and I and some friends of his from Ireland went to the 1st game of the 2nd round playoffs VS Colorado. SCORE! Something different, a surprise, international friends - AWESOME!

Now he did mention that our seats may be a bit "high" but thats okay we planned to drink beer, eat hotdogs, nachos with processed cheese and jalapenos - WHO CARES!. FUN FUN FUN!!!

When we arrived at our seats, I was plesantly surprised, for being really high up they were great. We had a great view of the entire ice and could follow all of the action. . . AND THEN IT STARTED.

... the couple behind us were DIE HARDS and I am talking live, eat and breath MIGHTY DUCKS. They screamed the entire game, they called out each player by their first name as if the player knew them and worst could actually here them.

(thought to myself at that very moment - This is so my life movie - this always happens to me - F*ck!)

"Come on Scott, you got it - get in front of it dude" "Go Tom, your the man, throw your weight into it all 6'4" of you". "That's it Kirt, straight shot, shoot".

Every play, every player, every shot was narrated by the jackasses behind us. I felt like I was in a Saturday Night Live Sketch and it was Will Farrell and that weird faced girl.

Dan and I both started to chuckle and almost wanted to "parrot" the phrases after them. But this couple were much bigger than Dan and I and they would have kicked our ass - they are DIE HARD hockey fans ya know.

I just wonder if they know that the frickin players can't here them in the cheapest seats in the house. Next time we go = we spring for some seats closer to the ice - where the fans are ... well too stuck up to actually scream like banshees. Go Ducks!
