Another rough day in Detroit.  The Pens lose 3-0 to the Red Wings and going are now down two games to none.

The positives:

1. Our Seats were awesome (better than Barry Melrose).
2. Ted Kennedy is doing fine and was at the game.
3. I don’t live in Detroit.

The downside would be everything else.  We made the 4.5 hour trip there and back in one day so the driving was pretty rough.  We managed to find a even more shady liquor store than the time before.  Detroit fans are pretty rough but that was to be expected.

Last night Julie and I were at game one of the Stanley Cup Finals in Detroit.  The game didn’t end that way we would have wanted but that’s why it’s a seven game series.  We’ll be back in Detroit for game 2 (and if need be game 7).

Our seats were literally the last row in the Joe Louis Arena which meant we stood the entire game and struggled to see the goal are on our end.  Granted the Pens we’re going for the other goal 2 of the 3 periods but they never scored.  Our seats will be much better tomorrow.

Before the game we spent some time at the Post Bar which when we got there in the afternoon was filled with Red Wing fans.  The bar was very ‘Detroit’ and by that I mean they had cold bottle beer and no draft… and the place was covered in graffiti.
