Hockey Games are Awesome

One more time! Ozz back in the drivers seat since Picka is still fuming over the fact that there was a red M&M in his bowl of green ones in his green room (shhh don't tell him, but I put it there). I'm here again to deliver some more chocolatey goodness to ya.

This for the most part is a Celtics blog, but since Picka isn't here I can do whatever the hell I want and today we're going to talk about hockey. I've pretty much not cared about the sport, always thinking that it was cool when they fought, but that's about it. This all changed last month when the lovely lady in my life gave me the gift of Bruins tickets for my birthday. WIN! Last night we went and man was it great!

Now I could give you all the stats, and play-by-plays, and opinions on who was good and who wasn't BLAH BLAH BLAH...but that would be boring. If you want all that stuff go to the Herald or something. Or better yet, complain to Picka and have him give you all that info.

The game was vs the Toronto Maple Leaves, and you could say this was payback for what happend in Vancouver. Don Cherry even came down from the frozen north to represent, sans the red velvet suit and awesome tie. Man that was a great tie!

The first goal was scored by the Bruins less than 2mins into the game but was recalled after a BS call by the ref. FAIL! During Celtics games people cheer when the Celts score a basket, during a Bruins game however they go FACKING NUTS! Which, I guess is expected in a sport that naturally has low scores. Imagine if you stood up everytme the Celts scored? You would have buns of steel! There were also a lot more fights than I expected. I have to say, you have to respect a sport that allows it's players to fight each other. I'm not condoning violence and I don't really feel bad for them cause they're large physically fit men, with padding on most of their body.  They can take a few punches and are usually fine.

As with any game in the Garden, you have the Battle of the Fans on the Jumbotron. Ya know, now that I think about it, Jumbotron is really a dumb name for that thing. Hell, is it even called that any more!? Anyway, last night we had a fat kid in a foam bear head, a guy in a rainbow hat, Jesus and a woman with really large boobs who apparently hearts Lucic. In the end the kid in the bear head one the grand prize - a pizza from one of the ice girls.

The game ended in a shootout with the Bruins winning the game. I was very satisfied with my experience and hope to return again soon. And the Bruins win almost makes me feel better about the Celtics playing like old men.
