WooHoo! I got into the Captain’s jersey!

My Honey got me tickets to see my favorite NHL hockey team for Christmas, and the game was this weekend.

It was everything you can hope for in a  professional sporting event.

1. There were drunk people in front and behind us. That’s always super enjoyable. The woman in back was a Devils fan which made her extra obnoxious. As for the woman in front, I couldn’t decide for quite some time whether she was drunk or stupid. Ultimately, I decided on both.

The captain is my favorite player!

2. Beer was $11. Seriously. How is that even conscionable? It’s a damn good thing I don’t drink beer. I do however love $5 stale popcorn.

3. My guys rocked! I’m delighted to tell you that my Phoenix Coyotes beat the New Jersey Devils 3 to 2. It was glorious. My first NHL game and my boys pulled it off.

4. My Honey was disappointed in the lack of a fight. There was a big of pushing and shoving I thought might escalate, but all in all it was a good game with few penalty minutes.

We spent the night in a hotel using free points. It was a perfectly fine hotel. With one very odd thing. There were a series of doors – wee tiny doors, some at ground level, others up high.

I could only assume they were for elves and fairies. What else could possibly explain it?
