Three tickets in the last row of the nosebleeds – $91.50
Soul-less Ticketmaster charge for said tickets – $16.50
Parking -$10.00
One gut bomb of a chicken burrito – $7.50
One order of nachos (nastiest fake cheese ever, Velveeta) – $7.50
Two beers (at least they were Dos Equis) – $20.00!!
One Diet Coke – $4.50

Watching the Kings half-arsedly beat the tar out of the Ducks…$153 and a slight case of indigestion.

Would I do it again? You really have to ask?

Waiting…

4.Oct.2005

Tomorrow begins the “new” NHL season. I anticipate it with a bittersweet sentiment. Hockey will always course through my veins, therefore I will always need a fix for this addiction (damn you all, Canadians!), but I wonder just how well this season will sate the need.

Playing doesn’t completely relieve the shakes either, especially after a 1-7-2 season! Which reminds me, how does a team produce a 10-2 season and follow it up with the aforementioned massacre? I’m still convinced we pissed off a hockey god somewhere along the way. There were just too many unexplainable blown leads, shots that should have been goals, and some of the “worst calls EVER” by the linesmen. Forgive us, Rocket Richard. But I digress…

I look upon this NHL season with large amounts of dubiety (I love that word). A management that wants salary caps so they can have all the dough and players who want salary hikes so they can have all the dough. Yet neither side seems concerned about the supplier of said dough, the fans. I know the true junkies, like myself, will return if only for the needed fix, but I think this latest squabble may have quashed the last major flow of demand. How can one enjoy the game knowing this amount of greed exists in the organization? Oh wait, there’s the MLB (damn you all, Americans!). Can anyone save this Titanic? I look to you with needful eyes, Mr. Cherry.
