I somehow managed to fall ass-backwards into some good luck for a change, as I won really nice boxed seats to a home New York Islanders game. I don’t go to hockey games too much, as it is not my favorite sport. That being said, hockey is the only sport that I can say that I’d rather be there than watch it on TV. In my opinion, there are so many benefits of actually going to a hockey game compared to that of watching it on TV. Sure, for baseball it’s nice to be at the park for the view, but for me, TV at home is my choice when it comes to baseball, or football, or tennis even. Anyway, I went to the game last night, and it was the New York Islanders vs. the Ottowa Senators.
Ok, Ottowa won, and they are the better team. They played better, they passed better, and they more than doubled shots on goal that the Islanders had.
The thing that bothers me is the fans. Being that the Senators are from Canada, the national anthem was sung first, and then the U.S. national anthem. These white trash assholes in the audience are actually booing the Canadian anthem. Don’t do that. If you don’t like Ottowa or don’t like the Ottowa Senators, fine – boo them during the game. Show some respect, show some class and sportsmanship, and take off your hat and be quiet as the woman sings the anthem of both countries.
