I went to watch an ice hockey game yesterday night. UW-Madison vs University of North Dakota. I must say, it is a wonderful experience for a first timer like me.
Ice hockey is the ONLY game that reveals a man's machoness. Firstly, there's the jersey attire that somehow makes the player looks intimidating. Then, the skills one has to have - pushing the puck towards the goal post, ice skating, controlling the puck, speed, controlling balance, ramming into an opponent's to steal the puck, defensing. It is an exciting game, far more exciting than football, I believe.
Why I say it is a wonderful first game experience for me?
(1) The fact that I have the chance to watch an ice hockey game
(2) The opponent team is a tough fight. Frankly speaking, they are faster that UW team players. Number 24 laju giler! But thank God we have a great goalie to prevent the puck from getting in.
(3) The crowd, though not as great as football crowd, is enthusiastic enough to raise the game spirit.
(4) There was a fight between the players during the end of the second period. Seriously, this fight adds the excitement of the game. Indeed, I am expecting a fight! :p. Seeing the green team being pushed and punched, isn't that something? The crowd, as usual, adds the heat when they keep calling the green team "Asshole". Ahakz, I think it was a bit too much but it was still fun anyway.
(5) The sudden rush of relief when the buzz went off and we were announced winner!
Ahh, sugoi! I wanna watch another game! |
