| | I was watching the hockey game between my current hometown team, Pittsburgh Penguins, and my forever hometown team, Montreal Canadiens, last night. It was my third hockey game that I watched in person, and I think it just gets better and better every time. A bunch of French Canadiens came down from Montreal to watch this game haha, wanted to make fun of them and their quebecois accent lol. I arrived early since I actually had a ticket this time, so I didn't have to wait more than an hour and miss half the first period by waiting for the student rush tickets (especially not in this weather). Plus, I really wanted to see this game from a good place, because in my 2nd visit, I got sent up to the upper deck from my student rush ticket... And I knew that all home games will be sellouts ever since the whole buzz about the Penguins possibly relocating to somewhere else got every fan and non-fan in Pittsburgh to come and watch hockey. Hopefully, the Penguins will still be here for my 2nd year of Masters...
So, I went around and looked at the team store. I really wanted an authentic Evgeni Malkin jersey, but it cost like $150-250 depending on the style. So I had to swallow my passion, save my money and just sit down at my seat. Then, since the teams were warming-up, I took some photos of Malkin - because I definitely don't want to bother with my camera during the game; I'd be yelling and following the game too much. Here's how Malkin warms up ^_^
  I find the one on the top interesting... but heck, I used to lie on the ice back in Montreal ^_^
The game was... very entertaining. My man Malkin scored, plenty of fighting between the French Canadiens and the Penguins.
We even went to shootout, and guess what?
My man Malkin scored the game-winner!!
