We went to our first AHL hockey game of the season last night (Thursday 12/27/2012). Saw our favorite BPort Sound Tigers beat the CT Whale 3-0.
We bought tickets at the door (and had to pay $2 more for each for some reason). They were in the upper bowl. Lynn was a bit nervous sitting so high up that she moved down a bit. But Richard and I enjoyed the view.
The XL Center has a rather tasty pizza. It is kind of thick and chewy with lots of flavor, a nice balance between cheese and sauce. Not gourmet but better than the cardboard-like slices at some venues. Richard had a slice of pepperoni (and then another) and I had a slice of cheese. We shared an orange soda. Lynn got herself a pretzel.
Pretty decent crowd - over 6K but the place still looked empty.
This was two in a row for the Tigers against the Whale. They played in BPort on Wednesday but there was icey snow coming down. The STigers won 5-2.
