Went to an Aeros game.
Arrived just on time. Jared and I were really pumped up and excited that it was chilly out and we were headed to the most aggressive and fast pace winter sport this side of the Mason Dixon.
We played a Canadian team that was supposedly the worst on the league....we're the second worst... ;)
Each period was so action packed! Total losses: 5 sticks were BROKEN and there was at least one fight per period. FIGHTS ARE THE BEST PART!
In the third period, Canada tied it up! They started getting really aggressive and acquiring penalty after penalty. Power plays ALL over! So intense! No one scored on overtime so it went into sudden death...never seen anything like it! One person from each team at a time takes a turn facing the goalie....man to man. Very impressive. Whoever makes it to 3 shots first wins.....that would be us! Yay for avoiding a loss to the worst team in the league. We are holding our rank! ;)
In the middle of the second period it began to get slow....until.......a man with a quick stock attempted a shot and BOOM......the puck flew in the air....up over the glass.....into the crowd......way in......and then BOOM....ricochet off of an empty seat (thank goodness it was empty).....and then I start to panic....
The puck is headed straight for us...(and we have to sit way way in the back)...
The row below us stops the puck. Check out the lucky winner and die-hard fan!
She was that close! Way too close for comfort! Whew!
BONUS FOOTAGE: I was able to snag this quick video of yet another young fan...
