During the week I snapped up a spare ticket to see an American ice hockey game. Yeeaah! It was at the O2 arena - where we saw Prince - and the game was part of their official season. The Anaheim Ducks (in white) v L.A. Kings (in purple).
It was awesome!! They skate so gracefully, and it's a very fast-paced game. I was expecting heaps of aggression, and bodies being slammed into the side walls - which there was - but it was
n't as violent as I expected. A couple of fights broke out but were quickly broken up by the ref's. Damn! A hockey stick got snapped in two, and 2 pucks went flying into the crowd. The goalies kneel on the ice for alot of the game, and do awkward things with their legs to block potential goals (it made me feel queasy watching them)!

But Geelong beat Port by a much larger margin, so I hear! Go Cats!!

Wow Neen that would have been so much fun.
Don't forget STORM thrashed Manly also. Went and saw them at Princes Park yesterday. It was great.
Ice Hockey is a great game. And while I watched it only on TV I believe it is one of those games that are much better watched live.
