    Nuttin' better than a hockey game! Over priced beers, fans cheering, sound of the blades on the ice.....and please, not forget, the organ player! LOL

    Filthy took me to the MN Wild/Nashville Predators game last night. We (MN) won 4-2. It was great! Marian Gaborik was fantastic.......the hat trick was fantastic.....made the crowd go wild!

    Had the biggest laugh.....someone won a contest for a "one nights stay" at a local casino/hotel......but the announcer got mixed up and said that she won a "one night stand" at the casino/hotel! The woman looked so suprised, needless to say, so did the announcer!

    And, do I dare say, WE have the most "coolest" hockey anthem? Aahheemmmm.......

    We were raised

    with a stick

    and a pair of blades

    On the ice we cut our teeth

    We took our knocks

    In the penalty box

    Our Mother was the referee

    This sport was here

    Before we came

    It will be here when we're gone

    The game's in our blood and

    Our blood's in the game

    Lay us down under

    A frozen pond

    We will fight to the end

    We will stand and defend

    Our flag flying high and free

    We were born the child

    Of the strong and wild

    In the State, the State

    of Hockey

    A big blue line runs around our State

    A line that can't be crossed

    The day they try to take this game

    Is the day the gloves come off

    We will fight to the end

    We will stand and defend

    Our flag flying high and free

    We were born the child

    Of the strong and wild

    In the State, the State

    of Hockey.

    Glad you enjoyed it Scooter. Ice hockey is not very big in the U K . The nearest I have got is watching that film "Mystery Alaska" on TV.

    If ever you get to Europe, try a league football match for a similar atmosphere.

    I am impressed with your anthem. Most terrace songs here are unrepeatableand only two or three lines

    To me, hockey is one of the only sports I can really respect. A bunch of guys not only have to worry about getting a little puck in a small net guarded by someone by hitting it with a stick, they have to do it on ice. You have to be skilled at more than one thing and at hockey games there's always action because its such a quick game.

    Hockey kicks butt!

    You said it Jesus Christ! I usually don't get too excited about sports (excluding my daughter's basketball game......I do get a little riled during her games) but hockey.....OMG......I just love it! Love it! Very talented atheletes! Last year we took our kids to see the University of Minnesota Duluth Womans Hockey team--talk about a bunch of talented and rough girls! Wowweee!

    Notintersted!........you live so close and haven't gone? You know what that means........Filthy and I are just gonna have to come and drag you out to a game!

    Hey scootergirl,

    Glad you got to go see the best show in town, hockey with the Minnesota Wild! They're in first place in the Northwest Division, and they have taken the entire NHL by surprise this year. They should at the very least make the playoffs -- but with their coaching and sound defensive play they could even advance past the first round! (Wild is singular, sounds weird I know)

    Wild is singular,

    You are right, Goph......made the change! Wouldn't a MN Wild Hockey game in a suite Apostafest sound like fun?!
