Ahhh, I love that rink. I mean, wow. What a rink.
So we left Brandon at 7:30 am and took 10 south, good trip most of the way.
And just for you Ian, I tried extra hard to get on TV, and did so at the TSN booth three times tha I know of, one of whice was during pregame. Ian, you were my guiding light and inspiration. lol
So many Winnipeg people there, it was good to see all those Jets jerseys in the crowd. No Jets chants during the game, but that has never stopped the Official Winnipeg Jets Drinks For Us Club from getting a few chants going at the TSN booth:
We got a "Go Jets Go" chant right at the start of pregame; we also started one during post game, and joined one during intermission. It goes without saying there were countless Canada chants.
We also got the crowd chanting HAW-ER-CHUK during the post game, I don't know if it, or any of our chants got on the air, but everyone was in it, 100 people strong, if not more, it was loud. Gino, McKenzie, and Maguire all were having a good laugh, Gino was even tapping along to the Hawerchuck chant!
Ok, these have got to be the two best ideas I've ever seen:
1: ID Bracelets, not ever having to be hassled for id at a busy booth is great. I never get carded that often, but for those who do, wow is that a timesaver.
2: MONSTER BEER: Holy h3ll these things are huge. For anyone yet to experience the joy of a MONSTER BEER, listen up, you can buy a Pint (16oz) in a plastic bottle, for $4.50 US... OR you can buy the MONSTER BEER, which is 32oz (For those of you who can't add, that would be TWO beer in ONE glass!), for the low low price of, get this, $6.00! AND, you get a collectors cup that doesn't totally suck. Oh yeah, and we got a small chant going for MONSTER BEER, at post game that the TSN guys seemed to dig.
I think that's all I got. I just got home and I'm pretty tired.
