It was a short four day week with Veteran’s Day. Monday was sunny and 70 but the rest of the week was wet including my day off on Wednesday. Around 4:30 on Friday it was time to forget about work and start the weekend. Teri and I took off and grabbed some food before going to see the Caps. I scored two club level seats near center ice for $70 each. I responded to a Craigslist ad for tickets and it turned out being a service called dreamtix.com. They did the same thing this other guy does that I’ve gotten tickets from and that is having the tickets reprinted at willcall and left in my name after paying paypal. Unfortunately when Teri and I got there no tickets were to be found. I had a phone number and the guy on the line was quick to help me out. Dreamtix.com servers were down a few times that day apparently. There were down the first time I called to get tickets. My emergency contact had a guy on the scene and after being conferenced together we met. He handed me tickets and kept on walking. The guy on the phone told me to enjoy the upgrade. They were lower level seats.
After getting some beers we walked in about 10 minutes in to the game. Our seats turned out to be about the 8th row almost exactly on center ice. After a scoreless first period the Wild got the first goal in the second. The Caps had to come back from behind as opposed to trying to maintain a lead as usual. They pulled through without Ovie; Green and Pothier scored. Laich scored on an empty net at the end.
