A Good Weekend!

Hey all! Thanks for stopping by! This past weekend was an awesome one and will be remembered for much fun. My two friends and I met up in Atlanta for the NY Rangers taking on the Atlanta Thrashers in an NHL match up. Now for those who know me I am a big time NY Rangers Fan. We were able to get awesome seats...how close were we? This close!
It was an awesome game where they went into overtime and the Rangers won in a shoot out with a rookie named Mats Zuccarello taking the winning shot. We found a really good German Restaurant with good beer and food to take in before the game. The hotel we got was across the street from the restaurant and a block or so from the Arena.

In the third period with the Rangers losing I had lost the bet and had to wear Joe's Islanders jersey. I did but since the rules were not spelled out I wore it inside out. Yes the other Rangers fans gave me shit but when they saw that they laughed. When the Rangers tied it and went to OT I tore that jersey off.

The cool part? Well there were many but since I was next to the walkway where the players go to the locker room it was hanging my hand out and yelling good luck to them during the game and when they won getting high fives and stick taps from them all when they went into the locker room. The goalie came in from the ice and looked at all the Rangers fans and gave a heavy "whew"... where we all responded with cheers and pats on the shoulders and helmet.

Since I won the main bet...here is the reward...Joe and Pete proudly dressed in German garb!
I do have a good sketch to show off which will be later...for now... CHEERS!
