I also took some pictures of the teams lined up at the end of the game, and another picture of the player of the game awards...

Thanks so much for reporting the hockey games for us. Of course, living in Texas, I'm not much of a fan - BUT - a few years ago, we had a semi pro team and I went to a few of their games and I was so surprised that I really liked it! Hockey in person is so very different from watching on TV.

We now have a development team for the NHL's Dallas Stars. This is their first year here. I haven't been to any of their games yet, but I will go, it is a fun time!!!

It is so different in person, the whole atmosphere is great :)

A guy at work just gave me free VIP tickets to the relegation round with Austria vs Latvia this afternoon, so Scott and I are both taking off work early :D I am rooting for Latvia because they're a fun team. Neither team has won a game yet lol. My brother watched Latvia play another relegation game yesterday, and the puck was in the air and he could have easily shot it in when it hit the ice, but instead he grabbed the puck in the air and THREW it in the net! Lol!

LOL!! I didn't know you could THROW the puck!!! :D

Lol, you can't! The goal wasn't counted but that's just how much fun the team is. They knew they wouldn't win so they were just going for entertainment lol!

OH! LOL!! HOW FUNNY! You are right, they were having the time of their lives, I bet!

And tonight, they won their first and last game :)

Cool! :p
