Rachel and I went to our first NHL hockey game this week, with our friends Pieter and Carolina. The Flyers were up against the Washington Capitals, whose best player is the evil Russian, Ovechkin. It was clear that he is evil because he is really good, he had by far the best 1-on-1 skills and had mutiple shots, 1 goal, and 1 assist. I think he may work for the soviet KGB. 
Having only been to womens college hockey before, I was blown away by how fast and good the players were. It really makes me think that hockey is probably the most physically and technically challenging of sports, what with the hitting, passing, and ice. Additionally, we lucked into getting tickets in the "all you can eat section". Pieter and I proceeded to have a small contest as to who could consume the most hot dogs, nachos, ice cream, and popcorn. He won. Afterwards, we decided that they should introduce a section right near the "all you can eat" called the "all you should eat" section, to cut down on the stomache aches. All was made good, however, once we got into true hockey spirit with some Labats Blue and Mohlson Canadian.
We had to rush home on the train to our puppy, which was breaking our hearts by being alone in her kennel. She expressed regret that she was unable to compete in the "all you can eat" contest.

So, was it Rachel or Russ competing the all-you-can-eat contest? Looks like Rach was about to burst :P
I miss the UW hockey games - they were a lot of fun, mostly thanks to the band and the chicken dance.
