puck me

[low_delta]

So we're sitting there at the hockey game (Mke Admirals, IHL), and they do this "keep you eyes on the puck at all times" announcement, so people don't get hurt. Dave says, "oh yeah, like you'd really have time to react." Not five seconds later a puck gets lobbed over the glass at us. We both deflected it - which was the wrong move, since it would have been an easy catch. Our buddies down the row were yelling "sieve!" at us.

We were down in the corner near the goal, where all the die hards sit. It was like Rocky Horror - all the lines yelled out on cue.

"HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT?"
"There is one minute remaining in the period."
"THANK YOU!"

"~Eeeeeeeel~liott! [the Aero's goalie] ~Eeeeeeeel~liott! ~Eeeeeeeel~liott! YOU SUCK!!!"

"I'M BLIND! I'M DEAF!
I WANNA BE A REF!"

I try to get to a game now and then. I'm starting to get into it more, and wish we had a NHL team here.

Towards the end our NHL parent was the Capitols (yuck) but for a few years was the Penquins...It was a long road trip, but I loved going to Pittsburgh for a game.... I still have my cow bell...(don't tell anybody..)

For many years, the Admiral were a top rate team (they're 9-9 this year), and they were always talking about making it an NHL franchise. But lately, our parent team (I don't even know who) has taken an active interest in us, and keeps calling up our best players.
