Teri and I were busy working late when I got a tweet from my guy TicketManJosh about last minute club level Caps tickets at a great price. Not only were they good seats at a great deal, it was the last home game of the season. An offer I couldn't pass up. I quickly replied and was able to secure the tickets. A few others emailed him while we were talking. I asked why they were available being the last home game and he said he was saving them for himself and ended up not being able to go.
We missed the first period but sat down with food and drink before the crowd rushed out for the first intermission. Caps were already up by one goal and scored another as we were sitting down. Sean Collins scored his first goal (second game) of the season during the second period to make it 3-0. Hendricks made it 4-0 in the 3rd period and we were hoping for a shut out for Varly. Unfortunately the Panthers got one in about mid way through the third. They must have been desperate for points at the end of the season being third worst in the league and pulled their goalie with 2:30 left in the game. It worked and they scored making it 4-2. But to no avail, Backstom and Ovechkin pulled some tricky maneuvers at the end and scored a slick goal 12 seconds before the home season ended.
A good end to the season. I didn't miss the lower level lines. Who knows how accessible play-off tickets will be.
