So, honey, you've never been to a hockey game before? Really!? That's crazy. We have to go! Last season I really wanted to go when the Blackhawks were playing at Nationwide Arena, but we either had commitments or were on Spring Break. So, this year I was determined to go. It turned out that the first home game of the season for the Columbus Bluejackets was against the reigning Stanley Cup champions. It was also the Jackets' 10th anniversary as a franchise (I guess they have us beat by a year ; ). Barry got us some super-good seats. We were center-ice, seven rows back. Surprisingly Columbus actually has a lot of loyal fans, and they didn't like it too much when we stood up to cheer for Chicago goals. It was a great game--hockey is always better in person! We were really hoping to see Patrick Sharp score a hat trick. He had two goals, but no more. It was also sad not seeing Big Buff out there in a Hawks jersey, but we still had a great time! Next time I want to take the girls. Go Blackhawks!
