For Valentine’s day I purchased tickets to the Rangers versus Blue Jackets game at MSG. I knew Jess would like that more than dinner being as awesome as she is. We took the train down yesterday and caught the game.
We were hoping for a blow out, considering the Rangers have almost double the points of the Blue Jackets. Thanks to some horrible bullshit official time clock being 8 hours away in Toronto a goal in the second period with 0:00.1 seconds left was taken away from the Rangers. This left the game at 2-1 Rangers. Of course in the third the Blue Jackets tie it up and force overtime. Thankfully we won only 22 seconds into overtime.
Go Rangers!

Jess and I decided to go to the Islanders vs. Panthers game Sunday just for fun. Didn’t care what the outcome of the game was because we could care less about either team. Just went to watch hockey. The Islanders lost 4-1 which we figured was going to happen. Got pretty decent seats considering both tickets plus processing and shipping cost me $45. It’s so cheap out there, probably the only reason why I go. Two tickets in worse seats at the Garden costs me $150 and I still have to pay $63 for the train tickets. Ouch.
So Sunday we get to go see the Rangers again at the Garden and go back to being rowdy fans. Fun times always.

I lost my auction to win Jess a signed game puck from the Winter Classic but I did win this autographed photo of her man Ryan Callahan! Gave it to her just because she’s the best. I must say I think I did a pretty good job framing it even though I broke the first frame lol.
If you are a hockey fan or love someone who is, check out the NHL auctions site. They have a lot of awesome stuff for really cheap. http://auction.nhl.com/

Tuesday Jess and I headed down to the city for the Rangers versus Jets game at MSG. Just a little something we did for her birthday Monday.
I broke in my new Jagr Rangers jersey that I promised I would wear as long as they weren’t playing Pittsburgh. As we figured the Rangers beat Winnipeg 3-0. Shockingly Winnipeg isn’t that bad this season for the fact that they threw themselves together and pretty much got rid of anything to do with the Thrashers at the start of the season.

Jess and I headed out to Long Island Saturday to watch the Pittsburgh Penguins versus the NY Islanders. The seats were nice and in the middle, just horribly crappy. Tippy top row that looked like was crapily added to fit more people. Not even comfortable to sit in. No wonder why they were so cheap. Whatever we had a great time! Penguins won 6-3.

The day finally came! Sadly it’s over already.
Tuesday Jess and I went down to the city to see the NY Rangers (her team) face the Pittsburgh Penguins (my team). Besides having to walk around in the rain, the night went very well. Smooth train ride down with a few beers, few more beers at a bar across from MSG, and then a few more beers while watching an awesome game.
Unfortunately somehow the Penguins lost. Don’t get it, makes no sense. Penguins lost 4-3.
Never had so much fun at a hockey game before. Helps when the other person is into it as much as you (if not more).

Is anyone watching this? I honestly forgot for a second that it was even going on let alone what teams were playing. Sad that there will be more people in your local supermarket than watching the game tonight when there is a chance it will go to game seven if the Cardinals win. Oh well, baseball sucks. So glad hockey season started now that MLS is coming to an end.
I guess that’s what the MLB gets for having the audacity the call it the “World Series” when it only is the United States. Don’t get all technical with Toronto, it might as well be the US, Canada doesn’t count.

Yesterday Andrew, Casey, Jamie and I went to a hockey game to see the Pittsburgh Penguins play the NJ Devils. As you probably know I’m a fan of the penguins and this was a little belated birthday treat for myself.
The trip down there was a nightmare. The game was Friday night so I knew NJ traffic was going to be bad, but I didn’t think I would wind up in 30 miles of bumper to bumper traffic. Holy crap it was annoying going 20mph or less on the Garden State. Things got even worse as we hit the local road to get into the stadium. We wound up being 20 minutes late and missing more than half of the first period.
Besides being late everything else went well. We had a ton of fun and enjoyed the stadium. I haven’t been to the NJ Devils’ stadium since it was Continental Airlines Arena over near the Medowlands. This was the nice new Prudential Center in downtown and it had to be the nicest stadium every. I felt like I was in a really big and neat mall with tons of escalators until you finally reached the ice rink in the middle.
Unfortunately the game ended in a loss to the Penguins. Devils won 3-1.
