Is there anything better?!

Free Food. Great Seats. A Convincing Win. Is there anything better?

Last night Melissa & I headed down to the Bell Center for a second straight game together. This time, we arrived when doors opened and we headed straight for the food. We were sitting in the Desjardins section so everything was free from the coat check to the food. We had managed to eat our weight in food long before the game, or the warmup for that matter, even started. They were amazing seats, I just didn't particularly enjoy the people around me. People generally think that sitting up in the whites/greys/blues is too far away from the action and that it's much better to sit down in Desjardins or the reds but I completely disagree. The atmosphere up in the higher sections is a million times better. You're surrounded by people who can't really afford to go to tons of games so they make every second count. You're surrounded by people who took the time to go home and get into their habs gear to sport the teams colors. Sitting in the Desjardins section, I was surrounded by suits and people who couldn't really find the energy to even STAND UP when the home team scored. You call yourself real fans? Honestly.

Aside from that minor detail everything was great. Free food always tastes better, especially when it's followed up by a great game. The guys worked their asses off and in the end, came back from 3 deficits to win it. Melissa is becoming more vocal with every game and my right ear can prove that. She also seems to have grown quite fond of Halak, whom I highly approve of. The end result was a 4-3 win in OT and I finally got to witness my first game winning OT goal from Kovy. Next game isn't until January 31st.

FREE FOOD!

Final Score!
