Stanley Cup Finals – Game 1.

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.

Devils – Penguins 2006.

On Friday Julie and I beared ridiculous parking protocol to see my Penguins lose to the Devils 5-2. It looked like the night was going to go well for the Penguins when they scored within the first two minutes but it was pretty much downhill from there. We did get to see the Rookie Russian Defector, Evgeni Malkin, score a goal for the Penguins to keep them in the game early in the second period. The turnout for the game was pretty sad with thousands of empty seats. Nothing like Madison Square Garden last year, plus no welcome sign.
