I was already going to spend part of my spring break in Denver so I spontaneously decided to drive out a day early to see the Colorado Avalanche play the Chicago Blackhawks. I knew it would be a great game because the Avalanche are definitely in the mix for a Stanley Cup playoff position but I had no idea that it would be one of the best games ever! I enjoy doing many things by myself but I had never been to a hockey game by myself before. I used to go to games with my friend Tony and now I usually go with my Dad or my cousins and I wondered how fun it would be with no one to talk to. I had nothing to fear! I sat next to two of the rowdiest Avalanche fans in the world and they talked to me the whole night! In fact, the obnoxious Blackhawks fan sitting behind us thought we were together which was somewhat problematic when they almost got into a fight! It was so much fun! With every goal, and there were five of them, we would celebrate by high-fiving and, as the game wore on, hugging each other! The Avalanche scored a goal on all three power plays, one in each period, and then added two more for good measure in the third period to get the shut-out! The Pepsi Center was out of control! I am so glad I decided to go to this game!
Note: I really missed my Dad! Not only has he has been my hockey buddy my whole life but he springs for better seats!!
