Dave and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary on Saturday. Good grief, where did this year go?! Since the first anniversary is paper, we were planning a simple night out to a restaurant and the movies with a paper admission ticket. Well Dave brought home the goods this year! A guy he works with gave him tickets to the Wild hockey game because he had a wedding to attend and couldn't use them. It was so nice for once to be actually ATTENDING something when normally I am fighting traffic and crowds trying to get to and from my hospital downtown.
It is no secret that I am not a fan of organized sports but I had a really good time. I do like hockey, but I sit and knit while Dave watches it on the TV. I must have been paying attention to all his instruction though because I answered his quiz questions correctly during the game. ("Now Winnipeg has what here?" "An extra player?" "Yes. And what is that called?" "A power play?" "Power play is correct.")
There is something too about being in a large crowd of people as they react together. You could feel the excitement of an attempted goal and the collective despair if we missed. I was also impressed with how well they entertained the crowd during breaks with the music and the big screens and the kiss cam, etc. And I loved that Nordy the mascot had hockey hair!
