Pre-Season Pics: Oilers @ Wild

So a week later I went to see the Oilers play the Wild with my friend Andrea and her sister.  Once again we were up in the 200 level, but the seats were great.  The nice thing about preseason, is that you can spread out.  Elbow room is a great thing.  This was Andrea's second live game.  And it was a good one for her to see.  I accidentally jinxed the wild in this one.  All I did was say that the oilers had 6 minutes if they wanted to tie it up.  And that I wouldn't mind seeing the young ilers (Omark, Paajarvi, etc in a shootout).  And literally less than a minute later they tied it up.  then a few minutes after that, Darcy Hordichuk, yes that Darcy Hordichuk, scored a goal.  (It was actually pretty too)  But it was called back as an oiler (I think) took a penalty.  And then what do you know, the wild lost in a shootout.  My bad.

Hockey Night in St. Paul

So hockey season has almost arrived.  Sweet!  I went to a MN Wild preseason game the other night with my sister and a super awesome Y'stone friend.  We had some awesome seats, well, they might not have been the ones we were supposed to have, but hey, no one else was sitting there.  And we started the night right where we were supposed to be, in the upper levels.  I actually like sitting up there, I like have the bird's eye view of the rink and the play.  The Wild played the Flyers.

Wild Hockey Scrimmage at the X

Warming up before the scrimmage

So I was gone this weekend, well Saturday only, which is why there was a lack of blogging.  My sis and I went up to the Twin Cities to watch us some hockey.  The Minnesota Wild had an open scrimmage that we attended.  It was a good time, and hockey season is just that much closer.  We met up with some of her friends, missed one of mine and have a super time.
