Several weeks ago my Dad and I went on a road trip to Denver to see the Colorado Avalanche play the Boston Bruins! I absolutely love doing this! I have been watching hockey with my Dad for as long as I can remember! I think I spent my entire adolescence in the basement with him cheering for the Edmonton Oilers. I have been a fan of the Colorado Avalanche since the Quebec Nordiques moved to Denver in 1995 and I don't think I missed watching a game that entire inaugural season. I was a huge fan of Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, and Patrick Roy. Now I love cheering for Matt Duchene, Ryan O'Reilly, and Nathan MacKinnon. The Pepsi Center is an incredible venue for hockey and I love being there, especially with my Dad! There were lots of Boston Bruins fans at this particular game, including a rather rowdy group in front of us! Despite the fact that the Avalanche lost to the Bruins 2-0, I thought they played a great game! They had twice as many shots and there was a dramatic play to stop a goal on an empty net during the last few seconds. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!
Note: The Avalanche begin their quest for Lord Stanely's Cup tonight against the Minnesota Wild! I am so excited that I actually get to cheer for my team in the post-season for the first time since 2010! Go Avs!
