Well...This is a photo I took of the visiting team scoring. Actually, it's a complete fluke that I managed to get a photo of the goal before the puck hit the ice behind the Vancouver Giants goaltender. Of course, I wasn't ready to take photographs when the Giants scored two goals in the following period. In each case a Giants player broke in alone against the Tri-City Americans goalie. On one goal our guy out-hustled two of their defenders to get to the puck and on the other goal our guy completely undressed the defenceman who was meant to stop him. Deked him out and left him hung out to dry.
Anyways, I took a Japanese friend to see the game. It was the first time she'd ever seen a hockey game in her entire life. I think she enjoyed it because I asked her if she'd like to see more games and she answered in the affirmative. I did manage to explain a few things to her: Yes, it's called a "puck" and when I said "Pretty goal", I did not say "Pretty girl". :D I think it'll be a while before she gets the hang of what is meant by "icing" in hockey.
Enjoy your pop rocks, sir.
