Finally!
I joined a friend last night who had an extra ticket to the AVS preseason game vs The Detroit Redwings. It was great to finally see the players back on the ice. On top of that it was an awesome game for the home fans, who I’ve learned real quick absolutely hate the Redwings. Down 1-0 at the end of the first They rallied to win it 2-1. Concluded teh game was a preview of the “shootout” which will now occur after a 5 min overtime if the game is still a tie. I must admit It was quite exciting and almost felt staged. Each team had three chances and by the time it got to the AVS last chance neither team had scored and it was up to hometeam hero Joe Sakic. Sure enough in elegant fashion he beat the detroit goaile on his right sight to capture the shootout victory.
It was a great time and I can’t wait to hit up a bunch more games, especially Dec 7 vs Bufffalo and I will not be rooting for the home team that night.
