Well, it has been a reaaaaaaaaaaaaally long time since i have posted a blog. Some bad stuff has happened, which kind of left me deflated a bit. This includes the passing of my wonderful canine companion Hunter. He will forever be missed.
But enough of bad stuff. Some good stuff has happened in between as well, like attending Ed and Dawn's wedding in HotAlanta. That was certainly a lot of fun, and good to have the boys together again!
Additionally, I have added a goal in my life: Since PDX has no hockey team, I have made my goal to go to every NHL city and see at least one home game. And if this includes the home team playing against the Hurricanes, then that is just gravy. Before the post, I attended games in the following NHL cities:
- South Florida - My first NHL hockey game--> Florida Panthers vs Pittsburgh Penguins
- Carolina -> Multiple hockey games, including being a season ticket holder for a season
- Chicago-> Blackhawks vs. Calgary Flames
- NYC -> Rangers vs. Penguins
- NJ -> Devils vs. Philly Flyers
Since the last post, I have added multiple cities to the goal:
- Atlanta -> Thrashers vs. Washington Capitals
- LA-> Kings vs. Columbus Blue Jackets
- Anaheim -> Ducks vs. Flyers
- Vancouver, BC -> Canucks vs Minnesota Wild and Canucks vs. Hurricanes (First time seeing the Canes in about 5 years!)
- Boston -> Bruins vs. Ducks (Also got to see a Celtics game!)
- Toronto -> Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning (Also attended 5 out of the 6 World Baseball Classic Matchups with Teams from the US, Venezuela, Canada and Italy)
- Buffalo -> Sabres vs Thrashers
So, 12 teams down, 18 to go. Not too bad!
Until next time!!!!!! Peace out!
