Sarah scored "sold out" tickets to the Washington Capitals rookie game against the Philadelphia Flyers. It's our up-coming season prospects veruses theirs. Tickets were free but you had to have one and they were gone weeks ago. Sarah's family has season tickets to everything so she dropped her uncle's name and wha-bam! she was hooked up. The game is at their practice rink which are rather new facilities not far from me.
It was a full on game, people were getting in to it and lots of heckling to the opposing rookies. The crowd was fun because it was so small you could hear everyone and people could directly yell at the players or the refs (or the scoreboard guy when he forgets to acknowledge yet another Caps goal). And being that the crowd was mostly die-hard season ticket holders they were quite knowledgeable and adept at heckling. These guys were playing hard for their jobs. There was a ton of hitting and lots of fights. And there were some sweet plays. Of course the Caps rocked them 7 - 0 but a good time was had by all.
Except the Flyers, and the fans made sure they felt it. In fact Sarah was getting uncomfortable and feeling bad for the losers. She even wrote a positive cheer up note to her favorite Flyer when he was boo'ed in the penalty box. That was funny.
