Last week a restoration company that Floorcrafters gives out referrals for gave Noah’s office tickets to two Avalanche (NHL) games.  Noah scored the tickets for last night’s game.  So off we went to Denver in the snow, arriving just as the first period ended.  The seats were awesome, center ice and 20 rows up!  Only crazy people buy those seats since their face value was $108 a piece!  Neither of us had been to a hockey game before but soon learned it’s a fun game to watch, even if you have absolutely no clue why a ref blew a whistle and there’s a mini “rest” period where players are shuffled on and off the ice.  Last night the Avs played the Phoenix Coyotes, who’s coach is none other than the great Wayne Gretzky!  We were able to see him from our seats as he stood in the box (is it a box?  I have no idea…whatever hockey’s version of a dugout is called).  Anyway, the game went into OT with a disappointing loss for the Avs as the Coyotes scored within the first 3:30 minutes of OT.  I was really hoping for a Double Overtime.  Ha!

So, now that last night’s game has been summed up, I suppose I should decipher this blog’s title.  We have now been to games for 3 of Denver’s pro teams.  In July we went to a Rockies game for the soul reason that my Dodgers were here.  August we went to a Broncos pre-season game (more free tickets from Noah’s work), and last night was of course, the Avs.  The only teams left are the Nuggets (basketball), Mammoth (lacrosse) and the Rapids (soccer).
