Great Seats

This past Monday I attended my second Dallas Stars Game in a week.
This is the first year that I have ever been to more than 2 NHL games in a season.

Last week I saw the Dallas Stars vs San Jose Sharks thanks to some customers who gave us some tickets as a Christmas Present. Sharks prevailed in a fairly slow game.
I honestly went into the game intending to cheer for the Stars but 4 minutes into the game I found myself cheering for the Sharks and against the Stars (except Turco and Morrow)
I seemed to piss off some of the fans in our section as I was cheering for the Sharks and against the Stars. I got lots of dirty looks and a few comments when Dallas made a nice play.

On Monday I took my Mom and Step Dad to a Game for Christmas. Saw the Edmonton Oilers @ Dallas Stars. (Had to see Dustin Penner whom is from Winkler, Manitoba. I used to play street hockey with this guy, and he attended the same schools I did he was 3 grades behind me in my sisters Amanda's Class, they were good friends back then).
We sat 9 rows from the Ice in the Dallas Defensive End. This was the closest I have ever been at an NHL game.

The game was really exciting. Edmonton scored first and well since I was sitting in an area populated with season ticket holders I was getting looked at with dirty looks when I was cheering for Edmonton. However these people took full revenge when Dallas scored and were making sure I noticed them when they were cheering.
The game ended up being 5-4 (ot) for Dallas, however I got to see Dustin score a goal and get an assist as well as be named the 3rd star of the game.

I recorded the game on TIVO so when I got home I watched the game. The seats we had were so good we were in a lot of the frames when in the Dallas end. You could even here me when Dallas scored their goals and my mom says that you could hear somebody yell at me to sit down when I was cheering for Dallas and Yelling at Modano for being a pussy.

I love being that asshole that cheers for the opposite team. If I could afford it I would get season tickets to the game and wear the away team colors every game just to piss off the Home team fans. It would all be in good fun, well for me at least.

Well that's all for today, till next time 'Shlope Je'Sunt'
