Hockey is such a fickle sport. You never know whats going to happen. The game can be awful with sloppy play and general yuckiness. Your team plays practically the entire first period (20 minutes) before getting their first shot on goal (horrible). Then the second period starts and your team is doing better, skating and scoring chances improve. Bam, your team scores on a weird touch of the puck and then you're thinking, oh please hang on and don't let the other team score!! By the 3rd period, the score is still 1-0 but something exciting happens. The 1st scorer Jeff Carter scores again! 19 seconds later, Carter scores again! A natural hat trick.
We were not at the game this night, I had given our tickets to our niece and her husband so they got to experience something very cool. :) On free hat night too...
It was quite funny because soon after the hat trick, my niece texts me asking what was going on? It was her first hockey game and she had no clue what was going on. In addition, my SIL texted me asking why people are throwing hats. She doesn't think of using Google so I was being a smartass and texted back that throwing babies & beer is frowned upon! ;)
So in conclusion, never turn away or leave a hockey game because great things can happen even when it looks hopeless.
Never LEAVE a hockey game in progress!!!! This night we gave our tickets away (there's a trend I need to stop. lol) and the couple left!!! We didn't know this until the next day when Hector was talking to the guy saying what a great win the Kings had & the guy didn't know about the comeback!!
