I attempted to go to the function...

A bar across town had a Heated Rivalry trivia contest tonight. So, of course I headed out. I arrived later that I'd hoped. I grabbed dinner on the way and that took too long because they didn't realize that soybeans have soy in them. So, my food had to get remade.

Anyway, by the time I got there the venue was at capacity, so I had to turn around and go home. I should have gone like an hour earlier and just had a protein bar for dinner. No bar full of fans for me.

So, I went home and turned on the Kraken game, just in time to hear the announcers talking about a Melanson goal? Babygirl got his first NHL goal? And I just barely missed seeing it live?

It was a good game, even if I missed the first part.

Oh no what a bummer. But it makes me heart soar there are so many fans that the bar was at full capacity. Hopefully there'll be other chances for you.

Hopefully!

Sorry you missed the trivia!

I noticed HBO has a live hockey game on my tv tonight and I think I will watch it.

Yes, the show has me interested in watching hockey. Send help.

(I am a big NFL fan usually. Know nothing about hockey.)

Ooh, looks like it's Panthers and Leafs who are on HBO? I hope it's a fun game!

Hockey moves a lot faster. New watchers sometimes try to follow where the puck is, but you don't need to. The players are obsessed with the puck, if you follow what they're doing that will point you to it and you don't miss what's going on with them.

Thanks for the tip!

... not realizing soy is found in soybeans reminds me of the woman who kept asking me if our cheese bread had any dairy. "Well, it has the cheese in it." "Yes, but does it have DAIRY??"

But ugh, I'm sorry it was at capacity. :( Boooo

But yay for the game being good, even if you missed a good part.

The game was very good! Kraken have been amazing recently. We have a lot of good players, just struggled to put the pieces together as a team for part of this season.

That's always rough - when the individual components are so strong, but it takes a while to get them all being good together!
