Hockey: Texas Stars vs Syracuse Crunch 12/29/09

We played the Syracuse Crunch last Tuesday and thanks to a screw-up by the ticket office, Snarkyboy and Doce ended up with tickets up against the glass.  Because the wives wanted a shot at the good seats, we each got to spend a period sitting with a hubby with our noses on the glass and cheerleaders at our backs.  I got some really great shots there too. 

There are no photos from the first period because the guy we had to chase out of our seats moved in front of us and wouldn't remove his hat.  The second period was my turn up front and the first thing I saw was Holden's holey pants. 

Actually, I saw quite a bit of Holden's pants, so you get to as well. 

While I wasn't enamored with his pants, I did see enough of him that I'll keep an ear out for him the the future. 

I wasn't able to get any shots of the goals, but I did get a good before and after shot of Texas's second goal.

Right before the goal:

 

And right after:

There was also a fight:

 Lots of chasing after the puck:

 

  

  

 
 

There were a lot of flying pucks Tuesday.  In fact one made it over the glass, the net, and bounced off the back wall and into the crowd. 

The rest of the photos of the game are rather silly.

The Stars gave horsie rides:

 

And this is what your expression looks like right before you hit the glass.

  

The final score:

The next time we meet Syracuse will be an away game, so I won't get to see if Holden has replaced his pants yet.
