Since he grew up outside of D.C., Dave is a huge Washington Capitals hockey fan. In fact it's really the only sports team he follows. Once a year they come here to play the California teams. For Christmas we bought tickets for the 4 oldest boys to go with us to a game in San Jose. It was on a Saturday, so we had plenty of time to get there nice and early.
In fact we had to wait awhile before they opened the doors. We visited with other Capitals fans in line, and we were both impressed with how many other red jerseys we saw in line!
When Dave and I went here last year, I thought, "The boys would love this!" If you haven't been to an NHL game before, I highly recommend it. It's very entertaining, even if you don't know all that much about hockey. Remember to dress warm!
Brennan was our token Sharks fan to protect us. Just kidding, their fans are great!
We ended up losing, but it was still fun. Then when we got to our car, it had a flat tire. Dave had to change it in the cold and rain. What a man! The Caps had an amazing season. They were first in the entire league by a large margin. They went to the playoffs and ended up losing in the second round to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Guess which two teams are going to the Stanley Cup.....the Penguins and the Sharks!
