Valentines + Contact Sport = Awesome Date Night!

Two hockey games in 5 days for the price of one good seat? Yes, please! For Valentine's Day, I got my wife great seats to see the number one team in hockey, the Canucks, play the Preds. We knew it would be a tough game, probably a loss, but we never turn down inexpensive hockey tickets! This is how we show love - watching guys beat the snot out of each other.

I'd like to know how much it would cost to buy a giant, inflatable hockey player. And I'd like to have enough money to buy one, just so I could occasionally put him in my front yard... freak the neighbors out...

Oh, to ride the Zamboni. On the bucket list.

Canadian national anthem?? This is America, jack!

Yeah! That's better.... red, white, blue, and NO silly leaves on our flag... take that, America's top hat!

Yeah, Happy Valentine's Day!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FI- aww, come on refs....

12 rows up, can't beat those seats.

This guy just screams hockey fan: red wool blazer, on the phone, oblivious to most everything... he stayed like this most of the game. I really hoped for one of those puck warnings to come true in his direction.

So this is the Canucks fan that sat right in front of us. He was all about cheering when they tied it up 1-1... but then the Preds scored two goals in 50 seconds, and he got mobbed by Pred fans. It was beautiful. Then he turns to explain to the drunks behind him that it's okay, he is an American, but he went to college in Vancouver (THAT'S EVEN WORSE THAN BEING CANADIAN!) At this point I turned to Brooke and said, "He looks Jewish, too, look at his hair," and two seconds later he says, "And I'm Jewish!" Jenn Segel, you should be so proud of my Jew-dar!!**

**Note to readers who don't know me: I love Jewish people. I've rocked a yarmulke before, please read into my humor. I am not Mel Gibson!

Self-shot, with ice behind us, happy that the PREDS BEAT THE BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE!! Awesome night!




The last ten seconds of the game - this was as close to playoff hockey as you can get!

The introductions of the team - nothing exciting, but I had the video, so there ya go.
